In the case of the Muslims, religious discrimination is incidental. Like most Americans, I have nothing against anyone for practicing their religion, but radical Muslim sects use their religion as justification for killing innocent men, women, and children. One group of Muslims or another has been killing people all over the world practically my whole life. I've got a problem with that. A BIG one.

9/11 and literally 100's of other acts of slaughter weren't perpetuated by a crazy group Hare Krishnas folks, it was dedicated Muslims killing under the guise of their religion. The only way pacifist liberals can defend them is by crying religious persecution, and they're never slow to play that card.

Muslim religious culture, even the sects who are not trying to kill people practice oppression of women. If a group of people in our country could be legally whipped in public or private, have no voting rights, be forced to wear certain clothes, etc, the liberals would be outraged. Yet Col has said we should try and understand, and learn from the Muslim culture. Selective blindness, or downright hypocrisy? You make the call.

Then again if people like Col made all the decisions in America we'd be a British colony speaking German...but we'd have a darned good education system.
