THEN how are we to ID the hostiles visually?
BEFORE they are standing right NEXT to you?
EXACTLY HOW far does inclusiveness reach regarding THIS FAITH, before it crosses the line to danger?

Here's how it works in America: one is innocent until proven guilty. If proven guilty, punishments will be set.
Have any of the founders of CAIR been found guilty in a court of law of committing terrorist acts or funding terrorist acts or even promoting/encouraging terrorist acts? If so, then I will want them to be shut down and put in prison.

I usually wait until they are attacking me before I consider them hostile. Hell that was my ROE when I was in Iraq too. So what's the big deal? You scared of your own shadow or something? Or just brown people?

Yeah that was normally how you could tell. However in the states your at a disadvantage when they start shooting. In Afghanistan and Iraq when they started shooting at me i had the HK 417 with me all the time.

Religious claims are beyond scrutiny? Since when? Are you sure you want to hold on to that position? Because i can gaurantee you that you don't want to allow all religious claims to become a part of your life.

How was it not relevant to ask for proof that their claims are true? Or is your position that religious claims are beyond scrutiny?

Yes I'm aware how taxes work. I'm sixty years old.
The rest of your post is irrelevant and bigoted.
Yes...religious claims are beyond scrutiny..
That is why they are called "faith" not "science"..
If they were proven, they would not be religion..
Though I think Scientology works hard to muddy that differentiation.
I am agnostic, always have been...never so arrogant to believe there might not be a higher-power, but not so gullible as to believe that someone waving incense or reciting verse in Latin etc. has it figured out.
I simply accept the ambiguity of not being certain as a part of life.
That said...Christians want to pray in some unused room in a school...go for it....ditto Muslims...Ditto the worshippers of the Spaghetti Monster..
I only take issue when people start to pick and choose what "faiths" shall be tolerated..

You may have noticed I got banned?
I am BLOOD sworn to my oath of office for life and I am deadly serious,if a tad ruthless to win.
