That is incredibly ignorant. Anti-American terrorism by radical Islamic groups has
nothing to do with our constitution or our freedom of religion. It has
everything to do with perceived enmity due to our alliance with Israel, and our support of monarchical regimes in the middle east.
Before you flame me, I'm absolutely neither agreeing with their reasons nor endorsing their means. But I can't believe that people go around thinking that "convert or die" has anything at all to do with it. Religion itself is irrelevant, the battle is over politics; the only significance of religion is that it allows terrorist leaders to easily recruit followers with the promise of paradise.
