I would request you back up your statements

Let's see. Radical Christians are, right now, enjoying some success in taking control of state institutions with the goal of enforcing their religious beliefs on the rest of us.
That's just ridiculous. We Christians are merely fighting for equal status in the country we founded. The evidence of this is the current tactic used Equal Access Act which states that if you give one group access in the public arena you have to give all access. The First Amendment is being abused to serve to try to sanitize Christianity from the public arena in America. The late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Rhenquist succintcly summed up the situation on Wallace v Jaffree in 1985 stating the whole separation of Church issue needs to be revisited and the only idea then was not to have a National denomination of Christianity be the National Religion. The First Amendment is a unilateral protection of religion from government not the other way around. One can wear a shirt blaspheming God and it is free speech but if one has a religious symbol in favor of God such as a teacher wearing a cross then they are told to not wear it or be fired.

"Radical Muslims" are, for the most part, intent on killing each other in the Middle East, have no means of projecting any political power in North America, and wouldn't even notice us if our army (and our proxies) weren't in their midst, usually to impose some agenda supported by the aforemention Radical Christians.
What would you call 9/11? No means? How about the Spanish tunnel bombings? The recently foiled plot in the U.K.? How about Iran developing nuclear weapons and defying UN orders not to? How do you feel about the US defending the muslims in Bosnia and Somalia?
the following is a private e-mail Professor of the U of Michigan sent to the demonstrating muslims on campus which I support:
"Dear Moslem Association:
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to
protest
your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like
beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burning of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called "whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many,
many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive,
brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile "protests."
If you do not like the values of the West -- see the 1st Amendment --
you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose
that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them
up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially, I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering"
So Chiro...you live in a country enjoying the freedoms supplied by the very people you claim to fear most. You are in a tree supported by the limb of freedom grown from the truck of liberty supplied by the radical christians you claim to be afraid of and are trying to saw off the limb that is holding you up.
So in answer to the original post, hell yeah I am disgusted by the whiny hypocritical muslims and support Professor Wichman.
"...but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables"
