"Bucco....I was addressing only Buggyone in this post. As I stated none of my responses to anyone included anything about being a BIGOT and that is what you accussed me of."

First, this is a public forum. You cannot address ONLY one person except in a PM.

I accused you of nothing except agreeing that most of the posts or comments were bigotry...period..thats it.

"Yes these people are expressing fear and it maybe real to them....but to lump every Muslim into the same box is wrong."

In my opinion and I suppose only my opinion, folks on here had no problem with anyone practicing their religion, UNLESS it interfered with they was THEY lived their life, which includes fear for your life. Sure, much of it, and I sure am guilty I am sure is ignorance of the religion, but it DOES IN FACT preach what folks on here have mentioned as something they fear. Those radical groups you seem to just shrug off have said publicly they will kill us...they have said they will infiltrate us from within (how long did the 9/11 bombers spend here living quietly) I hear VERY VERY little in the way of folks who live here of the Muslim faith saying anything to rebutt it.
This is NOW....REAL LIFE...not historical debate items.

"I refuse to live my life in fear.. All my life some people have told me someone was coming to get me...The commies, the black panthers, the Jews. the gays....I could go on but the "They are going to me dejour" now are the Muslims. What do you say to George Tiller's wife a Christian" walked into a church on Sunday and shot him in the head. Should I fear Christian’s? Would it be a rational fear. Did the Germans fear the Jews... yes. Was what they did do that fear justifiable? No. Any group should not be targeted due to the actions of a few."

This is nothing but political correctness rambling. WHO ever said you should live your life in fear...the subject of the thread was allowing a religious belief interfere with our constitution.

The "commies" are nothing but a political party and any strength they may have had is historical....you should fear the Black Panthers where they are strong, but at this point their threat is a very local one...never heard of the Jews or Gays openly threatening our county AS MANY...AND remember it IS MANY...of the muslim religion has done.

The individual stuff you mention is simply trash talk. My point was and still is.......this group...a very large and most probably a majority of this religion has vowed to kill you, your children and your grandchildren and bring your country to its knees. Being cautious and aware is not bigotry unless there is no basis for that, and in this case there is strong and clear threats, etc to establish a very good basis for that caution and fear.

and by the way, you refer to "you conservatives" as if it were a condition. Let me tell you, get out more...if you think this fear is a conservative trait, you are really out of touch.
