Re: but even extreme Islam is not the threat equa Congress, the Executive and SCOTUS.
Islam hates the US not for anything we have done, not that I'm all in favor of everything we have done, but because they are Islam which wants to subjugate infidels and America represents freedoms they despise.

Re: but even extreme Islam is not the threat equa Congress, the Executive and SCOTUS.
So you keep claiming.
Yet there are today over a million Muslims in the US even after the oppression of US Christianity on their faith.
Looks like you are simply out of touch with reality yet again Faith.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

There are a lot of people outside the USA that don't think the USA represents freedoms.

Revisionist political correctness and propaganda, but it's true that thanks to the Left we have fewer freedoms now than we were reputed by the entire world to offer up until the Left got its bloody claws into us.

You literally can't tell left from right, can you? There is no left in the US, only right, righter and rightest.

I can see people to my left but very few of them are Americans. There are a lot of Canadians to my left, much of Western Europe is to my left.
Can you see anybody on your right?

Just a guess; she wasn't Amish...
Child suicide bomber kills at least 16 in Nigeria
Page Not Found | Reuters
(Reuters) - A bomb strapped to a girl aged around 10 years old exploded in a busy market place in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Saturday, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 20, security sources said.
"The explosive devices were wrapped around her body and the girl looked no more than 10 years old," a police source said.

She wasn't Amish, she was a child.
That you thought Boko Haram strapping bombs to little girls is remotely relevant to the girl's religious perspective kind of disgusts me.

Ummm, you seem to have read my post quite wrong.
The little girl was a murder victim not a suicide bomber.
But still, she wasn't Amish. Care to guess what the dominant religion is in that area? (Isn't Mormon either.)
But what amazes me is how many apologists there are for the religion that fosters all of this mayhem.
Care to guess about what percentage of all terrorism today comes from one primary source? (And no, it isn't the Amish or the Mormons.)

It IS amazing to anyone who can think straight, but PC makes a mess of people's minds and it's only going to get worse until all reason has been destroyed and the world is dominated by mayhem.

Absolutely, your prize is a one-way ticket to Maiduguri, Nigeria with no means of returning.
