Quote:Yes because the Amish insist that us English conform to their way of life.  Poor comparison since the Amish want to be left alone to their own way of life.  Well I say that because I have never heard of a radical Amish person blowing up a skyscraper or beheading a nonconformist.  I could be wrong though.

 

The vast majority of Muslims in this country want the same thing. The problem is those who believe in radicalized interpretations of their faith have managed to stir up irrational fears. Overreaction to those fears plays right into their hands.

 

You obviously totally missed the point of my reply to The Drifter.

 

Yes, there are Muslim communities in the US. They have been here for decades. They hate what happened on 9/11 as much, even more, than the rest of us. They don't want to force Sharia law on us, or force us to be Muslims. They just want to be free to live and prosper.

 

Like the Amish.

 

This board really needs a sarcasm font.
