I think I am on the same page as you, but when read what you wrote in the context you had wrote it earlier in, I took it to me something different, especially when you wrote about according to who is it harmful, then I applied the part about the victims at the hands of their killers whom do not abide by our constitution, and even hate it actually, yet here they are living among us now. I thought you were making a case to honor all religions with the use of the constitution no matter what, and without exception. This is where I began my rebuttal.. I apologize for miss-understanding you...
Not at all, I'm not sure you did misunderstand; it sounds like you had it basically. Not to "honor" all or any religion, but just to let them be.
Just a clarification, the Constitution is not for people to abide by; it's for the government to abide by.
By the way, does that graphic I posted that keeps getting copied, convey its meaning? Do you get what it's there for? That's a Nazi-era anti-Jewish propaganda poster, used to demonize a particular class of people in order to eliminate them. In other words the same thing the OP has been doing with this thread. That's the problem all of us from all over the political spectrum have with this bigot thread.
OK, it's cool to just let a religion be, but when it promotes the killing of infidels meaning us from within our own borders, and it begins to make good on such beliefs or ideals by the implementation of such acts (lets not for get those honor killings either that have taken place), then it is no longer protected or falls under what the constitution had written for religious activities or regarding the religions in which it was intended for (IMHO) or should such a religion be recognized by the American government at all or it shouldn't be until it cleans up it's act. How many more attempts at bombings or actual bombings must we chance to them, if they are different than the religions we have had here since the beginning, and have been living in peace pretty much with since the beginning ? I don't think there are to many now whom want to take to many more chances with a radical wing of this religion, and the problem is, is that they can live within the religious confounds of the religion until they (the radicals)strike, so what to do what to do ? If we can't get a group of people to police themselves, and to let others know who is amongst them that are bad or a threat, then Houston we have a major problem now don't we ?
You may be starting from a false premise here (in bold). Again, two assholes (not a religion) committed the bombing in Boston. Just as an asshole with a Ryder truck committed the bombing in Oklahoma City (not a religion) and another asshole (not a religion) bombed an abortion clinic in Birmingham, etc etc etc. The OP in his bigoted blindness wants to pin Boston on "foreign Muslims" but there's no justification whatsoever for that basis. He just wants to persecute his target because he's never met one and spends all his time immersed in television.
He would actually try to sell the idea, for example, that "Islam" committed 9/11 even though the perps clearly had a political agenda. Yet he won't pin Scott Roeder on Christianism or the Unabomber on atheism, so his logic applies only to his despised group. Which is why it's illegitimate logic, and why the premise is inoperative.
