You know, it's the type of responses from several in this thread that makes me very pessimistic about the future of mankind.
How any sensible, intelligent and thoughtful person could defend, in any way, shape or form, the barbarity, cruelty and intolerance of that which is demanded by a fictional sky god, defies understanding.
Those of us undiseased by religious brainwashing need to defend our way of life from those who, at heart, want to deprive us of our right to intellectual freedom. There can be no room in a democratic/non-Islamic nation for those who hold the beliefs of an orthodox Muslim.
As is said time and again, some cultures are simply not compatible.
If Muslims respected this, there wouldn't be a problem. They'd absolutely not desire to reside in any country that isn't Islamic.
We don't believe in the nonsense they do and will never allow Sharia law to become anything but a reference to a medieval, savage and unsophisticated culture and its intolerable ways.
I am a sworn enemy of Islam and want it eradicted absolutely from non-Muslim nations.
If you feel in any way differently, than you and I are enemies.
