I would like to ask – what is it about Islam that makes some people uncomfortable? I live with two Muslims and have found them to be as normal as anyone else. So what is it that makes people keep posting these types of threads?

Indonesia government, for example, doesn't see inter religion marriage between Muslim and Christian as an issue ( which is forbidden by most Islamic countries ). And they are also having their internal problem with Islamic extremist.

What is it with the anti-expression sentiment lately?
THAT has to stop.
I've said it before: if you dislike the topic, don't visit it.
Personally I come to ATS BECAUSE there are so many topics I disagree with. What, should I stomp my feet and demand others not express themselves because I dislike their feelings about certain issues?
Here's an idea: quit telling others what to do. That's one of the biggest problems in the world today: too many anti-freedom squeaky wheels running around.

That's what I'm getting at ~Lucidity - where are these feeling coming from?
Is it from the MSM, who we are usually so critical about, knowing they are pushing an agenda?
I love religious discussion, but I like to have some respect for the subject - be it Islam, Christianity or any other religion.

Koran 8:65 Koran 8:65
"O Prophet exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you 20 steadfast,they will overcome 200 and if there be of you a 100, they shall overcome a 1000, because the disbelievers are a folk without intelligence"
This Sura clearly exposes Islam to be a religion that not only encourages violence but actually makes it a sacred duty for Muslims to kill anyone who does not believe in the Muslim version of religion.
A Jewish poet , K'b Bin al-Ashraf, whose poems grieved for the victims of the Muslim assassins was treacherously slain...Next a Jewish merchant, Ibn Sunayna, was murdered by one of Muhammed's disciples...then a prominent elderly Jewish merchant, Abu Rafi was hacked to death by six Muslims while he slept in his bed ... Muhammed arranged for practically all the Jews living in Arabia to either be exiled or killed...the Jews of Banu Nadir were slaughtered by the Muslims two years later in their new home.

SF for you OP!! I 100% agree.
The funny thing is, those racists and bigots are now using a new tactic. Whenever they post something racist and you point it out, they use a "lol, racecard, you can't do that" answer. That's like a proven murder saying "you can't call me a murderer".
I'm seeing a dangerous development in the US. Before WW2 broke out, the Germans were suffering economically, people were losing their jobs, people were poor after WW1, and guess what...they started looking for someone to blame, and found the Jews.
Something very similar can be seen in the US now. The economy's still crumbling, people are losing their jobs, and guess what...they too are looking for someone to blame. Over the last 12-24mo, the amount of racism towards Mexicans and Muslims has increase substantially! For years people built mosques in the US and it wasn't a problem, but suddenly people go all nuts. And the right-wing media, mostly FOX "News", is fueling this racist fire.
People are totally irrational. They say it's insensitive building a mosque on GZ, but first of all, the proposed location is 2 blocks away from GZ and NOT on GZ. And secondly, by saying it's insensitive to build that mosque, they are in fact insensitive themselves because they imply that ALL MUSLIMS are bad, evil, and terrorists.
If are a racist and bigot, YOU ARE NOT A GOOD AMERICAN!! The whole country was founded on principles of FREEDOM and LIBERTIES, and that includes religious freedom. The second you oppose that by being a bigot, you are directly opposing US core values.
