    Can we take out the Catholics too, as they were behind the IRA terrorists.

    I always understood it a support for the FREEDOM of Religion in general, not as "support for Islam" itself.
    Which is a core principle of America. Which is supposed to be the domain of conservative values. Which might appear as liberals and conservatives actually in form of agreement on something.

    So why are conservatives so hypocritical on this, and instead prefer their simple TYPECAST slanderous judgments on everything, and draw up "with us or the enemy" lines in the ground? Yes its stupid to NOT link Islam into terrorism, that is lame PC culture. But it doesnt mean persecution of the WHOLE because of a few. This shouldnt be hard.

    Now that you have trump and a Republican Congress, nothing's holding you back from blowing them all to hell.

    That simple right?

    I'm not aware of any Christian/Catholic justification for the Irish Republican Army, that stems from Biblical passages. However, I don't think that has anything to do with the topic at hand.

    There was plenty of biblical citations to enslave an entire race of people for 300 years though. I don't see how that is any more or less morally reprehensible than what you see from Islamic terrorists today.

    The Bible does endorse killing people with axes.

    This is right up there with "part and parcel of city life" and "don't be alarmed when you see armed police".

    WTF? saying that Muslims should not be targeted and discriminated against is considered left-wing sympathy? These right wingers are really brain-washed

    Just like all the times that Faux "News" repeats the same inaccurate bullshit constantly until people like you believe it.

    I personally don't care nor really agree with a lot of Islamic beliefs, but I'm an American and believe in the values which is basically that people are entitled to their beliefs as long as they're not hurting others. If a Muslim isn't breaking laws then it's not my place nor business to judge them. Just as I don't think it's others to judge me for any of my beliefs.

    If any individual commits a crime, he should be punished. if any person or group is spreading the voice of violence, then they should be punished. If a Muslim or anyone just believe in stuff I don't like, they're entitled to their opinions.

    Aww, do you need a hug? Come nestle up close little man, daddy will take care of you.

    The point was....as you clearly missed it, the IRA is no more Catholic than Isis is Muslim
