And I said, the pertinent question is how many of them live here. And many Muslims consider the liberal secular form of government that we take for granted to be an attack on the theocratic, restrictive form of government as codified in Islamic sharia law.

Isn't it about time that intolerant Muslims accept that not all humans wish to be Muslims. That some wish to be Christians. Some wish to be Jews. Some wish to be Hindus. Some wish to be Atheists. Some wish to be..........? Can not Muslims discuss this issue and come to some kind of understanding, some tolerance for diversity among humans? Are these impossible issues to discuss? (I guess????..........Sharia does not allow????) If those Muslims that are intolerant of diversity and will not accept that not all humans wish to be Muslims and accept Islam, then all Muslims must understand and acknowledge that they will suffer the fate of not being allowed to immigrate to the most holy of places......or other places.......and other such undesirable fates will befall them because we all know that they will kill those humans who do not "submit" (this word is not in the lexicon of the western mind where religion is concerned) and accept Islam as they do. Unfortunate for all Muslims because this is unacceptable. Intolerant Muslims cannot even accept that my questions are not meant to insult...as it is my understanding that some intolerant Muslims believe we (especially women) are not allowed to question Islam......but they are legitimate questions....one a free person would ask......and if engaging in discussion takes place...... would not a much needed dialogue between different cultures and people of faith take place? Is it not in the best interest of all of mankind to learn tolerance and accept that not all humans aspire to be ruled by the laws set forth by Allah? Imo........intolerant Muslims are going to lose this fight because like it or not tolerance is better than killing innocents. In the end, strongly held beliefs are what matter to people, and no matter what, non-Muslims will not submit to something they do not believe........ever. It is human nature, and intolerant Muslims will never change human nature. All men created equal and the government shall make no laws about religion works.
