Jews and Christians are being abused globally. In our country Muslims now outnumber Jews 5 to 1. We are giving away our culture for what? Hard to know where the culture war will end. |

| Bard, we've been told that our strength has been in our Constitution, diversity, and our uncanny ability to allow folks of differing backgrounds to excel for the common good. You seem to working against that by casting Muslims in a very questionable light. Whether you like it or not, the world is chock full of Muslims, and not just the troublesome Middle Eastern types. |

Steve...are you saying there are 30-35 Million Muslims in the US? You are dead wrong...there is approximately 6.7M Muslims in the US, almost the exact number of Jews.
Mr G ...I know its off topic but do you think the Scots will bid farewell to the UK today? |

Giving away our culture? What is our culture? Being a "Christian Nation"? I thought Christians were welcoming of others. Does the inclusiveness of Christianity only apply if you are not a Muslim?
What is the culture war you speak of? Do you mean a religious war? Is it impossible to be a Muslim American? You're a Christian American, right? What is the difference? |

| Bard, there are many outstanding Muslim Americans. Many are highly educated, taking jobs some Americans are too lazy to study for. You may find them in the labs doing your blood work, behind the desk managing your money, educating your kids, developing the next iphone, or they may just save your life as the surgeon who fixes your heart. Maybe he is the windsurfer who saves your life when your other ankle goes. |

Fredrick, it's not the 4 good Muslims, it's the 1 bad Muslim. Why do we need anyone from the middle east until we've sorted out who is here? We have no way of knowing which Muslim is good or bad, so why bring any here?
When slavery was at its peak many Christian protested. I haven't seen ONE MUSLIM MARCH IN FAVOR OF AMERICA AND PROTESTING ISIS, AL QUADA, OR HAMAS. NOT ONE!
When I see Muslims protesting any one of the 3 of those groups, I'll say open the border for them. |

| We have no way of knowing which person born today in the US will be good or bad. Some will grow up to be killers and rapists. So we should stop all births? |

| Bard doesn't understand the Bill of Rights. But he does understand the Copperheads and know-nothings. Two virulent anti-immigration groups that were around in the 19th Century. They would have prevented most of our ancestor's from moving here. Representing the hysterical wing of the Tea Party, our own Eastern European! Give it up for him! I doubt he appreciates the irony. |

How do you recommend that we sort out all the Muslims who are here in the US? Perhaps you are suggesting that we round them all up, American citizens or otherwise, and put them in internment camps until the War on Terror is over? |

Me neither, and until they start doing that, the entire religion will be under a very dark cloud of the making by their own radicals.
It's for the acceptance of their own religion that they need to step up and publically demand the purge of radicalism from their ranks.
Their silence is deafening, they need to wake up, it's only for their own good.
Sure there have been a few muslims go on the tube to condemn it, but that alone doesn't cut it, it needs to be big, it needs to be taken to the streets, their religion needs it, it needs it bad. |
