Yes, despite my broad generalization of the many encompassing religions that Muslims have available to them, is that the average American is either Catholic or Christian.
But mostly it still comes to individual points of view.
Not everyone will see eye to eye. You can't expect them to either.

I did not say Muslims are the worst. This is why some people need to understand the difference between a religion and specific community populated by that religion. You want us to lower our religious tolerance to mirror Mecca. How about our environmental standards to mirror China? Maybe our nuclear regulations should match those of Japan? I was asking how many other things worse than what we do that other people do do, should we do, just because they do. Get it?

o you feel comfortable with the political precedent this would set in terms of the Constitution to allow people to ban certain churches from their region?
Or is your ire specifically aimed at Islam, and not religion in General?
How do you come to terms with being a staunch Constitutionalists while supporting mob rule?

Can I say that anyone that doesn't side with Cain is a racist?

I didn't say where should ban them, scooter. I said we should marginalize them. I even used the communist party as an example.
Knee-jerk much?

I'm sorry. I was assuming you had actually read the article and were commenting on the intentions and beliefs of Mr. Cain, which is what I was asking you about.
I take it from your reply that you DONT agree with MR. Cain's assertions then, in terms of Constitutionality?

No, I didn't say I wanted everyone to. I said those that do want to, should be allowed to.
And regards to your Nuclear regulations... Maybe you should do some research on the differences of your Nuclear power plants to those of Japan? You will be enlightened.
And in the reference that you were trying to make it out as me saying "Do as they do".
I stated that there shouldn't be any complaints of conflict due to the other already having a similar setup already established.
As a community, when a community establishes a rule like Religion, you can't complain when your own Religion has already has that same rule against another.
It all comes to equality and how someone wishes to live their life.

I keep asking where so many of you non-Muslims on ATS gain your amazing expertise into what it is and what it means. Why won't any of you answer? I want to know where you learn about it from so I can so wise too.

Try visiting a country that is Islamic. Then we can compare notes.

If Herman Cain wants to ban a religion, then he should run on his dislike for the constitution or he should go be president in a country that does not pride itself on it being founded in religious freedom. Just saying.

...it is because people are ill educated on the religion and go by the image the media has created for muslims...

And that was my point tho...
Doesn't your Constitution that protects your right on Free Religion, also protect those who wish to be Free FROM Religion?
