<<Wait till one Islamic family moves next door/next block to you!>>

There is one living one house over & behind us - mixed marriage. They are modern folks from India, call themself reformed Moslem. He is/was Moslem she Indian Christian. He is programer at local company, she is manager of a nearby retail store.She and daughter wear no veils and whole family are generally decent neighbors. daughter in high school, son attending community college, working part time job at corner gas station & member of Army Reserves.

Decent neighbors - defined as quiet, don't borrow, don't try to convert me to their religion. Wave in friendly manner when in car or yard. Say "hello" if met at local store. Keep an adequately neat yard & outside of home. Trade excess veggies from their garden for excesses of other veggies from mine. Take an overall interest in local public affairs - vote, Jury duty, help out others if needed. Yes, he helped paint an elderly widow's home with a bunch of the rest of us.

So let me get this straight. Based on what you're saying all Christians are Amish?

<<Richard...did you fall and land on your head recently or something? You seem incapable of logically thinking through the implications of this thing. Wait till one Islamic family moves next door/next block to you!>>

What do you fail to understand in "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Just how the HELL DARE YOU FORGET the freedom of religion is one our MOST BASIC FREEDOMS?

Shame on you! You cheapen the death of all whom gave their lives for these freedoms!

Read & remember

BILL OF RIGHTS

ARTICLES IN ADDITION TO, AND AMENDMENTS OF, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PROPOSED BY CONGRESS, AND RATIFIED BY THE LEGISLATURES OF THE SEVERAL STATES, PURSUANT TO THE FIFTH ARTICLE OF THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION

Article [I.]

The basis whereby our founding fathers claimed these msot basic of rights goes back to God Himself!

"Declaration of Independence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 4, 1776
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (cont)
