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.

No, Bubblehead, I am correct. You wish to exclude individuals from the democratic process based upon their religious beliefs; something antithetical to the foundations upon which this nation was built. What amazes me is that you see yourself as just for wishing this. Once again, you seek to preserve American democracy by destroying it. I only wish that you could see that fact.
