It's never the peace loving centrists of a religion that cause problems but the extremists/zealots that do so. The major difference today is no faiths zealots have placed themselves in such radical company as have Muslims.

No other group has flown airliners into skyscrapers, filmed themselves beheading people or publicly protesting and calling for the deaths of all others outside their faith.

To say the Muslim faith is based on outdated precepts from hundreds of years in our past is easy enough to see but hardly reasonable at the same time to offer them a pass for their unwillingness to participate in the world we have today.

If we see a 3yr old tryin to jam a butter knife into and electrical outlet we don't look at it and say "Oh well, they just don't know any better, isn't that quaint?". Or if someone handed a loaded AK-47 with the safety off to a 5yr old and they started hosin down everyone around them, would we just turn a blind eye and say "Oh, it's OK, they just didn know any better."?

The stark reality is that allowing Muslims to interject their illogical social mores and ideologies into our modern western societies is fallacious at best and in my summation will lead to demands for simply more and more acceptance of their lunacy and outdated sense of morality and law.

The real sadness is that Muslims have learned to utilize the laws of civilized western civilization to foist their own beliefs upon us all. Our own civilized principles of acceptance of others ideologies and practices of their faiths without discrimination has been turned upon us as a weapon against our own civilizational constructs.

When a Muslim sues an amusement park for religious discrimination for not allowing them to ride a rollercoaster wearing their head scarves because it endangers their safety, or a police force for requiring a woman to raise her burqa so they can make a real identification of whom she really is or an argument is made in court that a father was honoring his rights granted by his faith to kill his wife or daughter to "save" the honor of his family it's become all too obvious that they've learned how to turn our own system of laws against us.

BTW Blah, if Sharia Law isn't an integral part of the Muslim faith and indeed directly intertwined into Islam, please explain then why Sharia by definition is the implementation of laws based upon the teachings and tenets contained in the Koran?

If I were empowered to dream a different reality for mankind like the cat in "The Lathe of Heaven" it would be that I could awaken to a world devoid of all religion.

There is NO OTHER force that so divides and pits humanity against itself. Quite simply, to deny that sad truth only points to a lacking in the ability to perceive what is real from that which is delusion
