Muslims are not the enemy

I think at least one of those is a Thomas Jefferson quote. But I could be mistaken and I am too lazy to google them.

I think I heard Louie Farrakhan say that ....or was it some Ayatollah.....

When was the KKK religious? Seems more pagan to me. Klegals, wizards, burning crosses?

No need to ban the Churches. Just pack up those who want to bring religion into government and ship them back to the old world. This is America, the New World.
 
Onceler:
Are you going to answer the question, regarding the KKK having a "church" in your neighborhood, or have you realized that you once again talked your way into a corner and now you can't find a way out??

To save you the trouble of racking your memory, I've posted our parts of the exchange.

Hate & intolerance is alive & well in America, in case no one knew. It's amazing for me to hear people refer to practicing Muslims as the enemy, and say thing like "they attacked us on 9/11!" or "their goal is to destroy us!"

Just so the Archie Bunkers know (and I'm looking your way, Dixie & bravo), Islamic extremists attacked us on 9/11. These are people who I don't even consider to be religious; they are just using the religion as a prop for their political goals.

I don't think I need to remind anyone that the KKK happens to be a Christian group...

Not trying to take sides; but would you object to the KKK buy a church, in your neighborhood, and using it for meetings and recruitment??

Seriously?

Instead of answering, I want you to think through it again, more carefully.

USFREEDOM, you have missed the point of this thread entirely. It has flown at a comfortable altitude above your head, which is not surprising.

The point - which I shouldn't have to explain to a grade schooler - is that it's idiotic to generalize about a religion based on its extremists elements. I would no more support the KKK setting up something in my neighborhood as I would Al Qaeda; both advocate violence, and use religion as a cover for their hate & violence.

Fortunately, it's not Al Qaeda setting up this mosque. But the fact that you are making this kind of analogy indicates that you missed that point completely.

I'm glad we had this conversation.

Then you would not have a problem with people setting up such a building, if all they had was a connection to the KKK; such as relatives that belong to the KKK, but can't really be shown to necessarily support the ideals of the KKK.
