1. Islam is not fundamentalist Islam.

There is a huge difference.

[Yavin4]

8. If you can find the difference, let me know. n/t

[Rex]

2. How do you do that? Round up the people that won't comply and put them in camps?

Serious, you shouldn't even joke about such things. Wouldn't that just create a buttload more terrorists? Have we learned nothing from history?

[geek tragedy]

13. Hey, the USSR banned Islam and that worked out great for them! nt

[Yavin4]

14. Then how do you stop it?

How can we have a civilization where people feel that mass murder is justified because a cartoon offended them?

[Rex]

24. You really are losing it, so okay what do we do with those that don't comply?

If you don't see the irony by now, then you are too myopic to have this discussion imo.

[geek tragedy]

26. You deal with THOSE people.

You realize that 99.9% of ISIS's victims are Muslims, right?

[Shoulders of Giants]

3. So you want to create thought crime?

[Pathwalker]

4. Yeah, let's burn that part of the Constitution - that'll help!

Freedom of religion sucks, eh?

[mainstreetonce]

5. Go stand

On the grave of a Muslim soldier at Arlington and say that.

6. Is this DU or Stormfront?

[librechik]

7. how will you do that? You know they outnumber us, right?

Islam is a death cult and so is Christianity. Where do we get the gall to ban their practices when we do the same thing. You can claim we don't but that's not true.

16. Declare a World-Wide religious war!! What could possibly go wrong? -nt-

[geek tragedy]

9. This OP is bigoted nonsense and is a blight on DU nt

[99th_Monkey]

21. +100 -nt-

[Hoyt]

10. No, "radical" Islam maybe. Truthfully, our bombing/invading Islamic countries is

not much, or any different, from what happened in Paris.

[Yavin4]

23. France IS not participating in the bombings in the Middle East.

France was attacked over a cartoon.

[99th_Monkey]

11. By all means, let's throw some gasoline on the fire. Are you fucking kidding me?

Are you TRYING to start WWIII?

12. And at one time Christianity's core were in direct contrast with modern society

Don't forget, Christianity had its day in the silly sun. We don't kill people for working on Sunday anymore. Christianity got over its Dark Ages phase ... had it not the world would probably be over by now. While the extremism IS there in Christianity still (see the murder of doctors that perform abortions), for the most part they are harmless and stick to protesting dead soldiers funerals or threatening to light oneself on fire.

Will Islam be a harder religion to "modify"? Hard to say, but until they do what the Christians did and to admit part of their holy book is non-sense this type of shit won't end. But to ban the religion? That's absolute non-sense.

[Yavin4]

17. "at one time". Not now. n/t

[kwolf68]

28. No....

Absolutely not. Catholics for peace ring a bell? There are tons of religious people who are Christian who are dedicated to bringing a peaceful and just world.

Are there parts of Christianity to be concerned with? Damn right, but the most radical mullahs in the US are at present NOT in league with people who slaughter innocent children and behead people. If you can find a video of Pat Robertson doing such then you may have a point.

And while Christian proselytizing is still a major nuisance, at last check I know of no inquisition that is currently in progress.

[HuckleB]

15. Prohibition Worked So Well, I'm Sure This Would, Too...

Oh, wait. What?

[drray23]

18. its so outrageous I dont know what to respond

Why dont you go read about the inquisition in europe in the 16th century (and look up the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre while you are at it ). This is essentially what you are proposing. Lets round up muslims and force them to convert or what? jail them ? kill them ? Think of what you have written.

In any religion, there are extremists. Those are the problem, not the vast majority of peaceful followers who are entitled their own belief. Freedom of religion is one of the tenets upon which this country is founded.

[NightWatcher]

19. Knee jerk reactions like this are a goal of terrorism

ISIS Thanks you.

[bowens43]

20. ALL religions should be banned, all are equally vile and equally dangerous

[jpak]

22. Let's ban religious bigots from DU

a thought

[Yavin4]

27. I'm the bigot? Look at how Islam treats women. Treats LGBT. Treats children.

Kills non-believers. Kills people over a cartoon. Really. You're defending this cult?

[ismnotwasm]

25. Hell no

And anyway, how exactly do you think that would be accomplished in, say the US? A constitional amendment?
