Surely you would agree that requiring a woman to dress like that is "radical", and that there is no place for that kind of shit here in a progressive country where women and men are equals?

You wrote something you should be ashamed of
and a woman who wears the purdah is hardly a "radical muslim"!
I am not sure how much prejudiced bigoted hate speech the moderators of this boards should tolerate…

the bible has plenty of passages about slavery, stoning adulterers, klling your enemies, etc.
there are lots of burka-wearers in Saudi Arabia or taliban-controlled Afghanistan; but there are a billion more that don't in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh… not to count the ~3 million muslims in the U.S.
listen, i'm no fan or radical islam and if they tell me that my wife and daughter need to start wearing a tent, i'm taking up arms. but until that happens, it's stupid and bigoted to paint all members of a religion based on a small militant minority.
check out that CNN video i linked above. you're coming across like the CNN hosts (but maybe you don't see what's wrong with what they're saying…)

What exactly did I say that was hateful?
Surely, there are many Muslims that are saying much more hateful things toward Americans than anything I said.

100% agreed! no place for that here.
but kicking out 3 million law-abiding citizens because a few thousand practice that is asinine.

I'm no defender of Christianity, but when was the last time Christians stoned adulterers?
You're defending how fucked up the Koran is by arguing that the Bible is fucked up? What kind of argument is that?
They're both fucked up and shouldn't be followed.

As I stated, I would only vote to kick out RADICAL Muslims. And radical Christians. You know, like Sarah Palin.

People are free to wear what they want.. that doesn't make them "radical" anything in it of itself… people are free to believe what they want and practice their religion as they want as long as it doesn't violate laws (i.e., some Mormons)

But are they really free to wear what they want, or are they wearing it it because their religion/culture/husband requires it lest they be ostracized?

I agree with James Ford. There is no place in America for someone who dresses differently than I do.

Yet you (Hutch, not Julian) are the one calling for me to be banned from the board ostensibly because I think different than you. Nice.

But wanting to destroy people because they are
not Muslim is acceptable?

There's no room around here for a bigoted prejudiced person spewing hatred….now git.
Differences of opinion are another thing… hating people because they are Muslim is something else entirely.
