He's 100% correct. The Left goes too far down the "don't hurt their feelings" road.

The foundation of our society rests on classical liberal values...freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom from religion, full human rights for everyone, including minorities of every kind, down to and including the individual, which after all is the smallest minority group. Etc. Just constantly and consistently apply these standards.

Note that among those standards is the rights of Muslims to be Muslims without hassle and to practice their religion as they see fit so long as they don't trample on the rights of others.

IOW it's a simple two step process.

1. Get good standards.

2. Apply the standards consistently.

What makes this guy the expert again? Where he's from? The glasses?

Imo, it starts when TERRIFIED people start changing the things we stand for in the first place, liberties lost - the soul of the nation changes - terrorists win.

1st hand experience which you and I don't have.
Where he's from?
Iran
The glasses?
No, that means he has an issue with his vision that is being aided with corrective lenses.

Can't you concentrate for 55 friggin' seconds?:)

What is it? Did you capitalize TERRIFIED to imply Islamophobia? That term is so played; all the trendy phobias are played, IMO. How come when someone is concerned about anything but white devils it is somehow equated with fear? Silly libs need to quit being scared little appeasers. Love freedom. Breathe freedom fearlessly.

What do you think is the goal of terrorist networks?

IMO, it is to terrify a society into changing their values and attitudes. I do breathe freedom, but more importantly....I seek to help provide the atmosphere for freedom to breathe. Freedom for all Americans....Christian, Atheist, Muslim, my neighbor without a clue, the neighborhood slut stripper that doesn't mow her lawn (not metaphorically), my uptight neighbors that seem to know everything about everyone.....men, women,and anything in between...whatever. Here, imo, you're American, and as long as you abide by our system of laws (at least in desire) that have been formed to protect liberty for all, I care about your rights as much as my own.

They change that through terror. When people begin singling out other Americans different than them, and drawing sides in some type of "ethical cleansing".....I think that's when the cave dwellers claim victory. It's not like they are hoping for invasion......at least literal invasion.

Agree with this but need to add to Muslim portion - - The muslim religion will not be able to follow Sharia in this country as that portion of their belief is in direct conflict with The U. S. Constitution. If they want to follow Sharia do not establish yourself in the United States or its Possessions.
