Mosque ban in TN

I don't think of Muslims as Americans. I also damn well don't think very many of them consider themselves Americans. I consider them invaders and infiltrators. I think they're testing us, finding our vulnerabilities, the weaknesses within our own system of justice. They're pushing all of the buttons trying to find which one turns on the light, then they won't push that one again, they'll change direction. I'm sure there are a few who could be found to be otherwise, but that would be a small minority of a minority.

Our constitution calls for the separation of church and state.

I'd certainly like to get back to that but at the moment it doesn't seem eminent. I'd like people to leave their deity in their house of worship rather than bringing him/her into politics but thats not what we currently experience.

Islam is not a religion. It is an all encompassing way of life that includes laws and social structure as well as political control. To say someone has the right to practice Islam is also saying they have the right to practice sharia. Because you cant have the religion without the laws. Our constitution calls for the separation of church and state. According to Islam, the church and the state are one in the same. Therefore the practice of Islam goes against the constitution, which means you are living outside our laws, and you forfeit your rights.

I really couldn't have said it better myself. It may come to the point (and I really hope it's not in our or our children's lives) that we may need to leave this land and settle somewhere new to escape religious persecution (kinda like how America was founded). But that may not work considering that I doubt the Muslims will rest until the whole world is converted or dead... just seems to me like they can't allow bygones to be bygones and they do their thing over in the sandbox and we do ours here in the land of Washington and Jefferson...
Funny observation about ME peoples- in Iraq and Afghanistan those who are not as civilized as the rest of us wipe their behinds with their bare left hands, but they call the pig a "filthy creature" and refuse to eat or touch it...
