I am shocked- we should be outraged. But instead I am reading those siding with those who would like to destroy us, and take away our religious freedoms.

They are abusing our freedoms to push their beliefs, they do not have any tolerance for what we believe they have agenda that they are not ashamed to push on us.

Anyway, I am getting stirred up here.

Yes, Liz. They know that they can use our freedom to subjugate us to theirs.

I met a young woman from Turkey about 18 years ago at the Galleria in Houston. She said, "You Americans don't understand. You are losing your freedom by your freedom." Chilling words and none so true!

Lol, they are not pushing their freedom, they are Americans. Their freedoms are the same as ours. They are simply using the same freedom of religion that any American has.

Do we live in same country?? Where have you been the last 9yrs?

In schools the muslim community is seeking(some have succeed) to have us observe their holidays, set aside a day just for Islam to be taught-
http://humanrights.change.org/blog/v..._new_york_city

They are not using the same freedom of religion like anyone else, there is no other religion making the demands they have been making-for example demanding of the observance of Sharia Law, which some are obliging to.

http://newsflavor.com/opinions/obama...aw-on-america/

Are you unaware of what is going on in Europe and how the muslim religion is having a major influence on their laws?

I think you are somewhat ignorant on the topic-

And in reality, they will be the ones laughing-Lol.

That was a very nice article, demonstrating how peaceable the majority of Muslims are in promoting their views. Thanks for the good read.

As far as observing Muslim holidays and teaching Muslim teachings, almost all religious parties want to promote their ideas and beliefs. They would be a sorry religious group if they did not. As long as all religious parties can be heard equally, I see no issue with it.

Stop spreading false information. There is no evidence that Harold Koh ever promoted our Judicial system favoring Sharia Law. To say he did is blatant deception, since there is no evidence he did. Even the link you provided said there is no way to tell if he said that or not.

I am aware of the riots that France has had in regards to Muslim youth, and other European countries. We have not seen that here with any religion, and we more than likely won't. We have freedom of religion here, and it helps keep any religion organization keep from feeling marginalized or persecuted.

When even hints of it happening here occurs, then I will get concerned. Until then, I will not let fear of what might happen run my life.

i think you are somewhat an alarmist on the topic.

I try to look at things in a reasonable, common sense manner, and try not to get all that excited over non-issues. Helps me enjoy my life immensely. I would recommend the approach.
