There were way few religions in the U.S. where faith is a way of life. Even the most religious of Americans don't allow their faiths to dictate how the live their lives.
For many Muslims and Sikhs, religion is their life. That is why so many Islamic countries have a state religion. It's their way or the highway. You are either a Muslim or you don't live there. Or you are severely persecuted. Your faith determines how you live your life, 24/7.
In those countries, there is no separation of church and state. The church is the state. Religious leaders run the country. Religious laws are the country's laws.
This is why you see so many Muslim people emigrate to Western countries. They want a life outside of strict religious doctrine. But the get smeared with the same extremist tags that the more fanatical retain.
Americans have a lot of love for others. But some have an equal amount of hate for those they don't understand.
Bull, we understand them all too well. Bully for you that you have muslim neighbors that havent cut your head off, (yet)! Let thier mosque and top dog mullah give 'em the word and you are likely to be without a head to rest your pillow under. Your knowledge about Islam's brutally violent history and current worldwide campaign to subjegate all to Allah's tyranny is pathetic IMHO. It is much like the foolish guy that has found the local pretty whore and thinks that she sets the moon because he only sees what he wants to see! Reality always bites him in the ass but in your case perhaps you's think thats just fine and would happily go along with them instead of your fellow American citizens that do not want to be dead or slaves to Allah! Which are the only two choices the socalled Relgion of Peace offers. Your goofyness is that because it hasnt happened here yet its never going to be tried here. Why, do you think they honor us so much as to think that we ALONE should be above their Allah!?? They only honor ALLAH...WE INFIDELS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE NO MORE THAN ANIMALS TO BE SLAUGHTERED IF WE DO NOT YIELD..-Tyr
