We have been fighting a war on several fronts, the largest of these fronts have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. Almost all of our efforts in our current wars overseas deal with populations almost entirely of Muslim descent....and we don't know dick about the religion here in the states. Wow. Just wow. 10 years of war, and the vast majority of Americans can not tell the difference between a Shia and a Sunni, or any of the dozen or so other "heretics" that are wondering around out there in the world. This dismays me a little.

Americans have such a cultural bias for anything not American...what ever the fuck that is. Using the criteria put forth as to why Muslims can't be American citizens would disqualify at least half of the Christian population of the U.S.

I'll trade you a quote from the Qur'an. Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
