It seems that your depiction of our country as "invaders" shows very plainly where you stand on our military; sure we rely on other countries for some of our resources, but this doesn't mean that we murder for them or that we don't help countries with less power than we have. And look, if we ever fall into a communistic dictatorship then sure I would support opposition to it; but as of right now I just don't see what the gripe is with the way we do things, honestly, we have it much better than so many countries and we have a system that ultimately works. Why fix what isn't broken? I must add that I'm not a "blind nationalist" I am fully aware that our country is in trouble, which is why I am going to vote this coming election.edit on 19-7-2011 by disasternaut because: spelling
Are you for real?
Muhammad not only kept slaves, he personally enslaved women and children after murdering their brothers and fathers.
As you say. It is well known and documented by Muslims, but not well known by non-Muslims.

What do Muslim dominated areas of a Western city appear like?
(1) We can look at Tower Hamlets in London to see.
(4) Why are extreme Muslims so successful at dominating Muslim communities?
The clue why may lie in the fact that a Muslim with links to a radical Islamic supremacist organisation was elected Mayor, despite being thrown out of the Labour party for those links.

Cain's got a point, Islam isn't just a religion, it also consists of required law and seeks to establish a state within a state, and this shouldn't be allowed. It is about time someone came out and said the obvious.

And? I feel you have some implied point here but don't really want to come out and say it.
Out with it. What about the eighth has anything to do with banning religious institutions?

Have you forgotten that the Taliban were actively training Muslims to carry out acts of terrorism abroad?
Are you also aware that the Taliban would kill girls for daring to go to school?
You should include these realities into your things.
The only reason we have the liberties we have is because people were willing to fight and die for them, and the only reason we still have our liberties is because people are willing to fight for those liberties.

The second book of the Koran tells muslims to deceive and kill anyone that deny's Islam its religion laws and state....so...just as the old jew testament becomes the jesus new testament, islam has a purpose and a goal and needs to be removed entirely from the US and sent back from whence it came and any one who doesn't like it can crapily followedit on 18-7-2011 by anumohi because: (no reason given)
The Bible is full of sexism, bigotry, and violence.
And yet, no one here is saying that book of mythology should be abolished from the United States. Oh wait, it fits your ideologies? Doesn't matter.
It's still crap and so is Islam. Hell, Religion overall can go away all I care.
The whole "my religion is better than yours" argument is immature and anyone who uses it (98% of ATS members in this thread) lacks intelligence and deserves a big ol slap in the face.
Later.
At least Xtianity is something people can ignore pretty much if they choose - Islam intends to kill you unless you submit.
Choosing to ignore that reality - in order to spite Xtianity is what I would call imature!

These groups aren't CIA invented, they were simply supported by the CIA in the war against the USSR.
The Taliban set up training camps for terrorists, because they firmly believe that Islam should be the religion of the world over, as long as they have to wage war, they will wage war.
You need to readjust your talking points...the taliban is now being talked to by the states to take over the security of the country...isn't that a kicker
I think your confusing the taliban with al-queda
As far as the men who have fought to secure our liberties, I am talking about the men who fought the revolutionary war, and all the wars to defend our nations sovereignty and liberties, and then there are all the union workers who fought to bring in protection for workers, and on and on.
Lets see
As far as the revolutionarys that founded the country..props to them.
As far as union workers go...well, you must be quite upset at the right trying to dismantle unions then.
I know I am...
Sorry, but you take your liberty for granted, and that is not a good thing.
