Add to it the fact that Missouri only repealed their law allowing the literal extermination of Mormon's in 1976.
Fact: until 1976 it was legal to shoot one on sight.

Also ironic is the fact that some devout muslims who wish their kids receive a US college education look favourably upon Brigham Young university as the university's honour code is compatible with the better parts of Sharia law, with regard to alcohol, drugs, tobacco and abstinence from sex out of wedlock.
US history aside, a lot of you constantly remind us that there are a lot of 'progressive' or 'moderate' muslims in the world.
However, we could also say that the holohcaust was led by a relatively small number of German/Austrian extremists.
One of my favourite films "Boondock Saints" uses the line:
"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
This is my fear, that the good muslims remain indifferent, as the good Germans once did.
If you think the muslim population in whatever country you reside in reacted badly and went unchallenged by your government, what do you think will happen should an Islamic state like Pakistan or Iran detonate or supply materials for a nuclear or dirty bomb in Isreal and the 3 Western Security council members retaliate in kind?
Will mob rule start to dictate the moral and security policy of your nation?
