Your support of King Louis must mean you agree with his stance on American Muslims, quite a few of whom are or were US marines.
To some extent, yes, I agree.
Why?
Imagine someone with just my level of training (and I missed a lot of stuff over the years) deciding that today's the day to go make his case to Allah.
You get someone with serious US military training going on a jihad and the body count won't be just 14.
Sorry, but when it comes to Islam I'm not interested in trying to parse out who of them isn't dangerous. It'd be like me asking you to find out who the moderates are at the Westboro Church.
Or say who the moderate Klansmen are. Surely there's got to be some, right? Shouldn't they have the same rights as Muslims since they seem to harbor similar animosities?
If there's tolerance for Muslims then why not tolerance for the Klan? Shit,
they even dress alike if you give it a moment's consideration.
I guess I'm now at the point where I don't care to parse out moderate Klansmen or moderate Muslims. Both of them ascribe to some deeply fucked up philosophies and if that's what they want to do then fine. But if they're not US citizens then I don't see any reason to let them immigrate into a country where they are first and foremost a danger to law abiding people.
Oh, I also don't care to figure out who the moderate rattlesnakes are. But you can feel free to talk to them, get to know them as people, and then get back to me on how that works out for you.
