Exactly.
Exactly.
Saving them from what? History has shown if left alone they tend to fight each other. Islam has its roots in Abrahams 2 sons, is Isaac and Ishmael, and evolved shortly after the days of early Christianity.
Islam and mooslims don't need to be saved anymore than Buddhists or Hindus.
In fact Islam and Christianity share this need to convert each other, which creates this rift dating back to the crusades...Judaism doesn't share this.
Earlier in this thread I made reference to seeing different sides of arguments. A quarter has 3 sides. Heads, Tails and the edge. Things are only black or white in your world.....but there are gray areas, in fact there's many colors but you've narrowed the argument down to 2 things; this way or that way. Islam ain't going away unless we outlaw that religion in the U.S. The other option you could have is just be nice to others and let the Gellars of the world and radical mooslims sort out their own mess.
There is a bigger world outside of Pink and your local Dollar General. Muslim population growth in the U.S. is rapid and threatens to increasingly influence American public policy while you play ostrich in Pink.

I wonder how many of us would have known about this contest if there were no shooting. The contest was held in a private location, the only people there were people who wanted to be there. They broke no laws and didn't force people to see/agree with them, and no tax dollars were involved, therefore I don't have anything to ***** about
Good point. The media here would not have touched.
I'm not a theologist so I can't speak beyond my current layman's knowledge of religion. That limited knowledge says Islam is the only religion that cannot(will not) coexist with any other. And yes, different factions of Islam can't even coexist. Ergo, Islam is a scourge upon humanity.
They can't be left alone but not because of infighting. They can't be left alone even if they are reduced back to stone age status because they will simply rise up again the next time they have a commodity that the rest of the world will buy from them. We have problems with them now because of all the oil we bought from them. They can afford it now.

There are no gray areas to the Islamic “true believer”. None at all.
To address other comments you made (in quotations):
“Many mooslims don't care what you think of their religion. That's truth.”
That is indeed true. According to the Muslim apologists are the Gallup Center of Islamic Studies only 10% of Muslims worldwide support jihad. Let’s test your math skills. What is 10% of 3.5 billion? That is the number that wants to kill you.
“If it wasn't for idiots like Gellar, we wouldn't be talking about a shooting in Texas …. “Don't fear Islam or mooslims.”
Maybe we would be talking about the 3,000 people who have been killed on American soil by Islamists since 2001. Yeah … Don’t fear them. Just because they could bring a RPG across the border from Juarez and hit a yellow school bus or hit a soft target like a day care doesn’t mean we should worry.
“I can argue all day, most days.”
Do not flatter yourself. Regarding this subject? You have demonstrated that you have an absolutely failed understanding of our Constitution and subsequently you are adding about as much to this conversation as a troll.
“Quit supporting idiots like Gellar or Westboro, they don't represent us (America).”
Speaking of your failure to understand our Constitution, again …. This has nothing to do with supporting their beliefs or their actions. It is about their right to free speech.
“In fact Islam and Christianity share this need to convert each other, which creates this rift dating back to the crusades...Judaism doesn't share this.”
What you don’t understand or possibly can’t comprehend is that there is a difference between someone coming to your door and trying to sell the Word of Jesus Christ with you and someone coming to your door to cut your head off because you are “not of the (right) book”. To say that there is no jihad in Oklahoma so we should not worry goes back to the sand pit you must have in Pink because it completely and childishly ignores what Islam has done over the last 1,300 plus years.
To this and your comment regarding the “Crusades”, you should try to read about them to understand how well trying to ignore the Islamists worked for 400 years and with that, what started the first Crusade.
“I aint gonna banter back n forth with you unless you can give 1 legitimate argument on how Gellars contest did anything but serve a hateful purpose and almost got lotsa people killed. Try real hard, please, otherwise you ain't contributing anything but how women should dress.”
Let me try this again. Blaming Geller for her right to free speech and trying to limit her free speech rights so not to not offend radicals Islamists that have been killing people for 1,300 plus years is like blaming a woman for dressing “provocatively” when she gets raped.
“One legitimate reason”
Had you a modicum of an understanding about our First Amendment you wouldn’t be asking that question.
You make me yawn at your ignorance. You bore me, go play with GlocktoGo.
True - I believe that a thing either exists or does not exist.
The other option those that practice Islam have is just to adapt to the social norms of the society in which they've come to live. Their refusal to do so does not create an obligation on the part of others to accomodate their sensibilities and superstitions.
