well Obama will win this year. That means, don't say anything about Muslims. If somebody tries to talk about terrorism or some peripheral issue where the muslim faith comes up, Obama should just repeat the bill of rights, say it applies to everybody and move on. Don't defend muslims or the muslim faith is my point. Don't talk about it. Don't say "they are just like you and me, lets all get along". Because this will be used in the future as a wedge issue against the democratic party. Muslims are a real problem in Europe. Muslim groups go around assassinating everybody who insults them in any way and defend this action using some archaic scriptures out of the Koran. A woman speaks out, she gets murdered. Little girls go to school and tell other little girls that if they don't wear headscarfs they will get murdered. This is unacceptable. Its not a "tolerance issue for a different religion". Since some ignoramases out in the midwest think Obama is a muslim, there have been a few reciprocal pieces from Obama supporters that say 1)he is not a muslim and 2)even if he was a muslim "so what?". I am saying to back off from #2. For any other culture that I have ever seen, it would be a fine thing to say, "even if so and so is xyz, so what?". But not muslims. Whatever this group of people is that are represented by the term "muslim" are, they are not representative of American values. I don't know if the people in Europe are an extreme faction, or what. Anyway the message is- stay away from commenting on muslims. Just leave it and let the chips fall where they may.
