So you advocate persecuting innocent people on the basis of their faith becuase some members of their faith are bad actors? Are you an American?
I'm an American; are you?
Yup.
Should we have persecuted Nazis even though some of them might have been nice guys? Should we have bombed cities containing innocent women and children because we were at war with their country?
Islam is at war with the rest of the world and it's way past time we recognized and accepted that fact and acted accordingly.
Simple fact: in war there is collateral damage.
None of that is in anyway relevant. You are talking about persecuting an entire group - not based on anything they've actually done, not on any laws they broke, but solely on the faith they follow. Not very American.
"You are talking about persecuting an entire group - not based on anything they've actually done, not on any laws they broke..."
Untrue. The jihad against non-believers (in Islam) is and was a declaration of war. The deliberate unprovoked killing, torture, and rape of innocent non-combatants is a war crime as well as being illegal everywhere. Attempting to enforce laws that are unconstitutional is illegal in the US.
...but solely on the faith they follow.
They call themselves "Nation of Islam" and deserve treated as a nation we are at war with. Islam is neither a faith nor religion.
And it is very American to fight rather than being enslaved by a foreign entity.
"Nation of Islam" is an American Political/Religious cult with a bizarre mixture of beliefs that include Dianetics as well as Islam and some original stuff. Any group can call themselves a "nation" that doesn't mean they are. Like this group - nationofchrist - not a nation.
What unconstitutional laws are American Muslims trying to force on the US?
You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to justify the persecution of innocent people, in a manner that is both illegal and unconstitutional in this country.
"Any group can call themselves a "nation" that doesn't mean they are"
Just like any other group can call themselves a religion or faith. When a religion presumes to make and enforce laws it has stopped being a faith and becomes a government no matter what they call themselves.
Actually...any group CAN call themselves a religion or faith. Every religion has and enforces it's own laws, codes of conduct etc. among it's followers. As long as that doesn't break the national laws, who cares?
"What unconstitutional laws are American Muslims trying to force on the US?"
Sharia law no-go zones honor killings etc. and as long as they call themselves Islamics or Muslims they deserve a share of the credit or blame that is due the cult as a whole including what we call radical Islamic terrorists.
The claim of Islamic "no go zones" in the US has been thoroughly debunked.
What Sharia laws have American Muslims been trying to force on the US?
" You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to justify the persecution of innocent people, in a manner that is both illegal and unconstitutional in this country."
Really? And you're not scrapping closer to the bottom by defending a group that plans and delights in murdering and torturing the innocent? And you're mistaken in thinking I advocate anything illegal or unconstitutional.
To quote you: you are mistaken in thinking I advocate anything illegal or unconstitutional.
