I am an Evangelical Christian, and a Republican. However, anti-islamic hatred and hysteria runs contrary to both moral traditions.
No - there were no Muslim signatures on the Country's founding documents. Does that remove them from the gift of American citizenship? What's your point?
Incidentally - there's some incorrect information about Muslim collaboration with Hitler:
The Muslims of Albania resisted Hitler. They didn't collaborate with him.
Collaboration with Hitler was based on nationalism - not religion.
Hitler leveraged nationalistic sentiment to accomplish racist goals.
It's interesting - it seems the link in the original post is trying to do the same thing.
The point of the post was not to say that muslims have not played a role in America, it was to point out oblama's bull claim they "HAVE ALWAYS BEEN" part of this country's history. That is like saying mormons have always been part of of America. Horse.... !

And it is that very head-in-the-sand attitude that gave us 9/11. Refusing to accept reality and recognize what lies in the heart of your enemy is a liberal tenant. So you you keep telling yourself you aren't but you are in denial and that my friend will get you dead quicker than anything else in the real world.
Secondly. You do well to refer to yourself as Christian. Slapping the the capitalized E in front of it implies fundamentalist. Shall I remind you who else has the fundamentalist term in front of their religion, or are you in agreement with them as well?
It's the liberal way. I claim to be tolerant and progressive. The problem is, if you don't agree with my philosophy, then the first thing I do is fix a label on you. It's important that I have a label for you.
Then I laugh at you and imply that you are stupid.
All the time saying I'm tolerant of other people's views..and very progressive.
What the hell? Even if you don't agree. Aren't you guys embarrassed and ashamed of blatantly making fun of a culture? It is culture that you are now making fun of.
You know what, at Christmas I put up a nativity scene thread about crazy nativity scenes and some of you had a cow. I was not making fun of religion I was laughing at how funny people are when they try to get creative. If I were to make fun of Christianity would you guys be okay with that? I would not, BTW.
I don't believe anyone is making fun of a culture. I think we are asking some people in the forum to be intellectually honest and put away the the PC BS for a while
