If they want to consider themselves Muslims first, then they have the right to do so, and there is nothing you can do or say to stop them, and all the power to them. They should be proud of who they are, and not live in fear of those who would oppress them and their faith.

Who is oppressing Muslims in the US????????? I am suggesting Muslims living in America abide by our laws and not demand Reporters to be Fired for questioning Islam. Christians and Hindus do not demand special treatment and Segregated Gym Facilities at Harvard Muslim protestors in NY wave signs saying Islam will dominate. Christians and Hindus think of our selves as American.



Their rights end where they hit the law of the land. Period. They can be stopped from performing any action that is in violation of the law. No one is above the law. It's called the rule of law. America is governed by laws, not people.

America is ruled by we the people the government is the peoples servants or that the way the constitution states the government should be. At.merican women will wear what they want and Islam will just have to get over i

False equivalence. Muslims look at the Quran and the image of Mohammed in a different light than Christians do the Bible and Christian imagery. So, no, it's not "just like".... Americans may have the right to do these things (so long as no law is broken), but it's not the same thing.

Who gives a damn how the muslims look at the quran Americans have the right to burn it and not a damn thing you or anybody else can do about it unless they want the wrath of Americans to come down on them. Any politician that tries to ban burning the quran will find him or herself out of a job.

Well, I want the Bible banned from public education. I don't think public money should be spent on religious texts used for religious purposes. Separation of church and state. The only exception would be the Bible (and other religious texts) made available to teach the Christian myth and the mythological value of Christ from a cultural perspective.
the bible is banned in public schools even though their is no such thing as separation of church and state in the constitution. but some how one public school was caught trying to force kids to learn Arabic.


As for banning the burning of the Quran, it's a difficult issue. Such an action causes measurable distress in a potentially global manner. The burning of the Quran isn't a reasoned criticism of what's written in it. It's a destructive act and a political message with the potential to incite people to violence. Knowing that fact makes this more than dissent. It's an invitation to violence and an intent to cause distress, and it's intentional. You'd have to be pretty ignorant to not understand how Muslims view the word of their god. And this isn't merely a question of freedom, as there are other bans that are in place for other reasons. For example, there is a ban on public drinking and nudity, etc. Would you consider drunken public nudity a matter of dissent?
Drunken Public Nudity is allowed at San Fran Folsom Street Fair look up zombietime.com
Women have freedom to get a education incite muslims to violence should we ban women from being educated. Women being to westernized incited a muslim to violence Arizona Islamic honor killer gets 34 years for murder, aggravated assault cant post the link cause i have to have 15 or higher posts

Should we not have allowed blacks to vote just cause some racist scum got mad??? What about Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus that incited racist scum to get mad?????

And out of curiosity: Have you read the Quran? Have you read the Bible?
