I’m guessing that when you say that Islam doesn’t attempt to influence public policy that you mean to qualify with “in the United States” and that you’re further excluding attacks by foreigners on American soil—that you mean those of the Muslim faith here in the U.S. You surely don’t think that Sharia law is silly; you mean that bigots are lying because they hate and fear and that there is no reason for any concern—right?
Sad to read that “Christianity tried to bleed into law and culture in insidious ways….” Here is an article that argues that Judeo-Christian values were foundational at our nation’s beginning: Articles: The Judeo-Christian Values of America
But what I’d really like to know is where all these pushy Christians are who are trying to cram their religions down your throat? I have an ordinary job and shop in ordinary stores, and except for extraordinary “The end is near” characters you may chance upon every so often on the street, this doesn’t happen to me. Just the occasional Jehovah’s Witnesses at the door every ten years or so. And so? I just don’t experience anybody even talking about religion in the workplace or the grocery store.
So are you talking about family members who are slinging Scripture or obnoxious neighbors or who? Where is this taking place? Are you being continually “witnessed” to or what?
This thread seems to be dealing with the United States so yes...that is what I refer to. The Christian attempts at influencing law can be seen in the many Moral pushes against abortion, gay marriage....etc...that are an infringement on the rights of anyone Non-Christian who lives in this country.
Just look at Santorum to see what I mean.
