Clown,

"That's what evangelicals and MAGA want to do with America."

You keep believing that nonsense.

Learn a little about the history of Christianity.

Christianity is one of the more progressive religions working for good on this planet. It is a living, dynamic faith that has continued to shape societies, challenge injustice, and change the way people think about human dignity for nearly two thousand years.

That doesn't mean Christians always live up to their teachings or beliefs. Obviously, they haven't.

But compare Christianity's capacity for reform with religious groups that still defend practices rooted in centuries old ideas about the treatment of women, minorities, and those who question the faith.

Seriously, read something about Christianity beyond the stereotypes.

Christians aren't perfect.

But they worship a Man who is.

America needs to confront radical Islam as a political movement before it gains any more influence here.

The country should unite against anyone attempting to place Sharia above the Constitution.

We need to recognize it for what it is.

It is an enemy of the Constitution operating right here, right now.

It is an ideology fundamentally opposed to constitutional government and one that is gaining influence here at home, on American soil.

For the sake of our children and the country they will inherit, spread the word.

Get involved.

"Enough is enough."

Read if you want another perspective...

Db,

"I'm about the only person here who asks you questions to let you try to explain yourself."

You're not the first.

Db,

It's short sighted thinking disregarding long term consequences is what creates so many problems.

I'm thinking less and less of you the more you post.

I think you're a bunch of hot air.

Pump,

"if a foreign Muslim leader came to America and walked into the halls of Congress and got a extended standing ovation from 95% of those assembled while being guaranteed by those assembled to continue receiving billions and billions of dollars of military aid in order to continue a genocide being committed halfway around the world, then I might start to be concerned about a Muslim takeover of the US"

You're looking at it all wrong.

When it affects your daily life or the life's of people you care about, you'll understand what I'm saying.

Corky,

"Poll after poll shows the same thing"

Just like when Hillary Clinton was elected President.

The polls all showed her winning and they nailed it.

One,

It must feel a little strange for some people to feel threatened by a religion other than Christianity.

One,

"Melbourne Airport has revealed it has Unisex Toilets but Gender Segregated Islamic Prayer Rooms"

What's to stop other people from using those rooms for other purposes?

Maybe someone should use one for an ordinary snack break and challenge any rule reserving it exclusively for religious use.

If the authorities remove or arrest that person, it could create an interesting court case.

Zed,

I don't see me and you as being at war.

We are sharing viewpoints.

There is a growing conflict in America just like is happening in other countries.

Long standing national identities are losing to aggressive Muslim tactics to setup their culture instead.

The reason I started this thread is to show an example of what is actually occuring here in America. This isn't hypothetical. Their anti-American beliefs are a genuine threat to the American way of life.

It's not about hating Islam.

It's about radical Islam hating me and you.

Monson,

What do you think about what's happening in Dearborn?

Db,

"Same way all of the pastors I've known"

How did you come to meet and know so many Pastors and their personal feelings?

Db,

"Makes me a good Christian."

No...it just makes me a Christian.

Zed,

"We have this one poster who argues I should be terrified of Islam as a threat to Western Civilization."

Right now, atheists and Muslims may not see themselves as being in direct conflict. In Western politics, they may find themselves on the same side in opposition to traditional Christian and Jewish influence.

Just wait.

I think that alliance will become much harder to maintain as Islamic influence grows in Western institutions and communities.

How will atheist parents react if their children start coming home from school praising Islamic beliefs or bringing Islamic religious practices into their homes?

Think that can't happen?

At present, Islam is often far more assertive than modern Christianity about maintaining visible religious practices and seeking accommodations for them in public life.

Some of the people who currently regard Christianity as the greater religious threat, may eventually find themselves confronting a religious culture whose expectations are considerably less compatible and more objectionable to their own secular beliefs. Muslim values are stricter than what they are accustomed to.

Also, Christianity in America generally does not require public rituals performed several times a day that can affect everyone around them. Islam has practices that many Muslims regard as religious obligations, and American religious freedom laws can require governments and institutions to make reasonable accommodations for those practices.

Right now, secular people may be saying, "Why should I worry?"

Some of the same secular people who strongly defend Islamic religious accommodations today may eventually conclude that what they regarded as harmless accommodations was a Trojan horse.

I am aware this will be difficult for some atheists and far-left individuals as soon as they hear any sort of defense of Christians. I will repost something I wrote earlier on this subject.

Dan,

"No claims of improper or stolen votes."

Of course there were cases of improper voting and instances of ineligible people who voted.

As far as a disaster, the 2020 election ended up people busting into the Capitol building.

That's not a disaster?

Dan,

"All that's been proven, is folks are gullible and Trump is a liar."

I believe were it not for using mail-in ballots, the Capitol break-in would not have occurred.

There would have been no reason for wide spread doubt in the election results.

Take mail-in ballots out of the equation, there would have been no break-in.

That's my opinion.

Dan,

"Remember when you railed against the mail-in ballots before Covid?"

A month before the 2020 election.

I was saying how I felt that was a disaster in the making.

Jan 6 proved me right.

Dan,

"I said that both sides have equal opportunities"

Earlier you said as follows, "You're just afraid universal mail-in ballots would allow folks you don't want to vote, to vote."

Who might those people be? Assuming I am supporting the republican side, that makes the other side democrat.

I'm not saying I agree that people should be prevented from voting. That's your accusation.

But it is apparent you believe democrats have the advantage with mail-in ballots.

And it's pretty well all over that other people believe the same thing.

Dan,

"No more or less than Republicans."

Did you not say mail-in ballots benefit democrats more than republicans?

If the methods of cheating with mail-in ballots are being used by anyone, it doesn't appear republicans are doing it very well.

Dan,

"Historically, Republicans cheat much more than Democrats."

I am referring to very specific methods of cheating available with mail-in ballots that are mailed to homes (excluding absentee ballots that are requested). Your accusations of who cheats the most historically should be taken with caution considering your propensity for out and out lying.

I am not talking about anything else. Only methods of cheating available with mail-in ballots.

This has been covered ad nauseam so I have no desire to rehash that.

I'm sure you've read all the accusations about mail-in ballots.

I should have put "Just admit it, and be done with it." in quotes since that was your accusation to me for those who might read this out of context.

Dan,

Mail-in ballots provide an easier way for democrats to cheat.

Just admit it, and be done with it.

Dan,

Did the people who voted in 2020 with ballots mailed to them successfully vote in previous elections?

I would bet they did.

Dan,

"Like their skin color, country of origin, or religion, right?"

At a certain, that sort of thinking is simply paranoia.

Not everything is someone out to get you.
