Any country, any people, any religion, any ideology that forces it's will upon a population should be met with such force and retaliation and violence that no one ever, will try it again.
Live and let live, as long as it never interferes with any other person.
a majority of Islamic Americans
would want a Sharia court of Law in place of the US Congress
We see those who are of Islam
around the world who are doing negative things in the name of their belief towards others who
do not share their belief.
Religion has become so taboo in modern enlightened society. It will be defended as attack on personal freedom thus untouchable.

That's just fear mongering. People want a lot of things. They don't always get them. And if you look at the United States, its citizens, and the principles upon which the government was founded and exists, there is NO threat of sharia law (happening) in the US.

We see a lot of people do a lot of horrible things due to their beliefs, religious or otherwise, so why single out Islam?
Islam is not the problem. Extremism and distorted thinking (of ANY kind) IS.

But then, we are guilty of enforcing thought crime.
Believe me, I agree with you. But, again, this is the quandary I've become faced with.
Can one really fight thought crime with thought crime itself?
