Completely wrong Takeda, I did not say I would ban Islam or go after those who hold that belief system.I did however answer the question AND explain why we should not have anyone that subscribes to that faith in a critical position such as Congress, Presidency or SCOTUS.I did not say ban them from holding office, I simply made the argument for WHY they should not and strongly believe Congressman Ellision is a prime example of what we could not afford to have.Luckily Ellision is a congressmen from a relatively minor district and as far as I can tell has no real clout other than his vote, which is too much for someone with his ties and beliefs.There is a line between being tolerant of someone's differing views and allowing people who's core beliefs contradict the very foundation of your nation fanagle their way into power over time, which can lead to the ruin of a nation.Imagine having a muslim supreme court justice who could say freedom of religion extends far enough so that sharia courts such as those in the UK are acceptable in the US? Sounds far fetched but then again it prob did once upon a time in the UK.The apathy shown by many towards the threat of Islam, even after 9/11 amazes me, always will.
