No religion should be banned. I'm sure the victims of the Salem witch hunts would have appreciated Christianity being banned here. I know Muslims who are just normal people - and they have just as much to worry about from the terrorists as everyone else.
Wow Im surprised on all the no's. I mean isn't one of the best parts of the United Stated being able to have the right to practice your own religion freely. Hell wasn't that the reason why America was literally first settled, besides taxes? My oh my how our country has wavered.
If it was just citizens following the ways of the Koran, then yes. But its absolutely not what muslims for the most part are about.... there is too much hate and disdain for the way we choose to live our lives in this Country. I dont trust them, I will never trust them, I say NO!
The Constitution allows for religious freedom and I beleave that freedoms come with responsibility. You can beleave what you want but when your beliefs infringe on the life liberty and pursuit of happiness. Then we have a problem. I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies forgien and domestic, etc. That includes those that want to restrict ones freedom of speech, religion, and other god given freedoms. That also means that I will fight against anyone or group that wants to over through the American way of life and subvert our freedoms.
Sorry for the spelling errors
So the Taliban and their actions represent all of Islam? Does the Ku Klux Klan and their actions represent all of Christianity? If I recall correctly, the Taliban are terrorists with extremists views and actions and aren't exactly "liked" by the people of Afghanistan. (Sadly, the Afghanis can't do anything because they are scared of them.)
we have political freedom here so yes but they should not come here and expect us to change our laws to suit their religion. if you dont like our laws or feel that you cannot practice your religion without changing them then dont come here go to another muslim country.
I couldn't agree with you more. They have to understand that this is a nation of many peoples, of many religions. No one can be or should be forced into any belief system. If they can not live by those rules, then they should not come here.
And those Muslims here, like that tragedy Saint pointed out, should be held acountable for those actions. Freedom of religion is just that. Worship as you see fit, but you CAN NOT deprive someone of life because of what YOU believe.
It's not within the government's purview to allow or disallow a religion. However, the laws on the books should be enforced equally for everyone and if one's religion requires practices not allowed the entire populace under law, those practitioners should be prosecuted.
Maybe it's our immigration policies which should be scrutinized more thoroughly.
Many wars in the past were fought over religion, it seems that those now and in the future will be also. Peace will reign when one remains. Prepare to defend yourself.
My favorite quote from Benjamin "Big Daddy" Franklin.
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Everyone gets their turn. Here is an example like the volatile times of early Christianity around the same time of the gnostic books. Very violent...extremist even.
Or during the plague years the extremists that would hoard around German area killing, beating, buring, flogging people and them selves claiming blood of his blood and flesh of his flesh was need as a sacrifice. Many times they went looking for Jews, other Christians, etc. As years go by there will be a new flavor.
I voted ...yes... and mainly because no matter what a persons beliefs are it should be allowed...and if it crosses the line into violence that is right there... destroy it then...
If it is harming no one... fine with me....
but I do not support an aspect of islam called sahria.... it is inherently dangerous and has been demonstrated that way for a few decades now... that must be kept out.. no matter what.
Who can say "no" in this poll? The first responder was absolutely right. It is un-American to deny anyone the right to hold any religious beliefs. How would enforce that, anyway?
I missed the vote. At present, I'm unsure. Although I believe in freedom of religion, it is clear that we have allowed many radical muslim elements to come into the US. For that reason, I believe that this religion needs to be closely monitored.
the constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but Islam is more of a way life with rules and laws that go beyond worship and the fact that it calls for everyone else s death I vote NO
I missed the 'except Islam' clause in the constitution.
No, Islam is a bog standard religion, the Abraham in that is the same Abraham in Judaism and Christianity. About 23% of the world are Muslims and if you think they all want to kill you, you'd best stay home - just in case.
There shouldn't be a need to legislate against intolerance.
Maybe now would be a good time to look at forum rules 2 and 11?
No, it is a religion.
But what is the protection against religious ideology? It is the separation of
church and state. The state views all religions as the same and is impervious to
them.
No Nazism was not a religion. You could forfeit the argument for using the
Hitler/Nazi card.
Yup, like every other religion, we cant discriminate. However, we can vet.
