Many are demanding to do it in Europe. The only law to them is Allah's law.

And many Muslim countries are more secular as well. Get a grip.

I suppose you don't support the fact that Israel is a Jewish state?

Israel can do whatever it wants in Israel. Israel doesn't have the
goal of making Judaism the only religion, world wide.

And are you saying that all Muslims want Islam as the only religion?

No, but if they don't, they're not true Muslims by the Koran.

All religions want their religion to proliferate in some form or
another.

Not true.

Rand, when a religion states "you are what your mother is", is a form
of proliferating that religion. Jews, though they do not
prothletize(sp) as other religions do, they do have children and
rather than make them Christian or Muslim expect them to be Jewish.
That is proliferation.

I wasn't talking about Jews. In any event, this is (as usual) an
idiotic change of subject. The issues wasn't whether or not ones
religion would "proliferate." It was about whether any others should
be tolerated.

I said: All religions want their religion to proliferate in some form
or another.

You said: Not true.

Yes, because it isn't true. Neither is it relevant.

Not relevant to your point that Wahhabi Muslims are bad.



And now YOU are trying to change the subject from proliferation to
tolerance. That happens below...

No, I was just shifting it back to the original subject.

Yes, to underpin your belief. Nothing more.





But all religions are also interpretative and have some form
of tolerance for others to some degree.

Also not true.

Name one that isn't.

Wahhabi Islam.

You're right. And the worst part is that our current administration
does nothing about it.

Is there a Wahhabi Islam segemnt in America. If yes, then where?

It's what's taught in many of the Saudi-funded mosques and madrassas.

And what exactly should we do about it?

Perhaps we should start giving those mostly kind and honest Muslims a
right to sell and directly profit from their very own oil and natural
gas, just like Saddam had been doing as the Arab black sheep or
outcast of their oil rich world, and selling on the open spot-oil
market at well under cartel prices, because he could just easily get
by on as little as half of what others had been getting away with
charging, and he'd still be flush in their local dollars for
sustaining that Muslim quality of life that simply didn't at the time
demand 10% of whatever an American thinks is sufficient.
