Good point Don, I was mostly taken aback by the Taxi cab scenario where citizens are being "Punished" or at the least "Discriminated" against due to the "Personal" religion of the Taxi driver. This worries me in the sense that they are condoning this behavior but if anyone treats them in such a way they start yelling! I'm also concerned that this is merely the first wave of Muslim immigrants and that there is a long term plan for future internal warfare to eliminate infidels. While most I've met are pacifists, the underlying temperament is hostile. It is no secret that the majority of Islam calls for "Death of America", that 's the sad part.
There are several Muslim Compounds that the government is concerned enough about to be keeping an eye on them. http://www.break.com/usercontent/2008/1/Muslim-Compounds-in-America-434356.html http://www.rightsidenews.com/200902223753/homeland-security/islam-in-america-islamic-compounds-in-america.html http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=muslim+compounds On Mar 30, 10:36 am, Don Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > But Professor An-Na'im believes it will be different in America.
