THIS WHOLE "MUSLIM" THING

THINKING IT THROUGH

My Daily Prayer "God protect me from any and every kind of strident radical"!

First your history lesson to help you understand the "context" of this country.

Now for the philosophic background you need,ya gotta understand the difference between "liberty, freedom, and rights":

• http://eyler.freeservers.com/JeffPers/jefpco26.htm      (canaille: the common people; the masses.)
  

What is a protest ant (protestant)? a member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and follow the principles of the Reformation, including the Baptist, Presbyterian, and Lutheran churches

And Finally:

Your freedom, liberty and rights only extend to the outer

 

boundary of MY freedom, liberty, and rights.

And when you start banning Muslims, christians, buddhists,

you are limiting the the freedoms, rights and liberties of

EVERYONE. You are allowing some group to make laws to

the lowest common denominator.  When you do that everyone loses because of the acts of a FEW.

I know this cuts against the grain of the "risk free" society so

ardently desired by the "Nanny Society" culture we seem to

pandering to but that's just the where history leads us.

Sooooo................. remove the risk (ban all muslims), and at

the same time give away the core of your Freedom, Liberty,

Rights.  I'll take the Muslims and accept the risk.
