I have no doubt there are many Muslims that read our forums. How would it make you feel if you came across this thread?

Dreamers are the only true realists -- Fellini*

As long as the dream doesn't rely on shifts in the metaphysically dictated, all dreams are valid, admirable and immensely useful -- even if they never materialize.

*This has also appeared as, The visionary is the only true realist.

I can't believe these discussions still exist! I saw thousands dancing in the streets when we were attacked, these people strap bombs to their children! 'nuff said. If you wish, YOU pick the good from bad. Argue for or against any change of attitude from one side to the next would be a miracle. This is, at the moment a free country (Although they are working hard to change that), so everyone has their right to voice their opinion (They are trying to change that too). So I would never stop anyone else from argueing it. I see it as a group trying to destroy the American way of life and western freedom as a whole (Even though thats IS true about the current occupying government, I ment Islamist silly). After all the proof it's asmazing people would still be fooled.

Here, this is funny...

While I realize this is a private forum and as such can make it's own rules, there is a reason that the Supreme Court of the USA has ruled that "hate speech" is allowed. You cannot have open and frank discussions unless all opinions are allowed to be discussed. If for example a post deemed to be anti-Muslim is allowed but untrue, then it is up to others to refute the statements. Otherwise the truth will never be known.
Where do you draw the line? There are many threads and posts that are anti-left junk or anti-Democrat junk are they okay?
Freedom of speech is what makes us free.

ebs-
" there is a reason that the Supreme Court of the USA has ruled that "hate speech" is allowed. " In limited venues, and privately operated web forums are not required to allow it. Surely you knew their ruling was limited, and they're re-examining those limits now wrt the hate mongers who keep picketing private military family funerals.

One could ask, doesn't the Koran place a burden on all good followers to take action against the Islamists who are corrupting the Sacred Word by declaring Jihad against all others?

I say we fake a video release of the Golden Gate bridge going down in flames, and then napalm anyone, anywhere, any religion, who reacts by doing victory dances in the streets.

Then make a second pass over everyone who goes out to collect the remains.
