The revolution will eat you

[Meh Gerbil]

I agree.
A good start would be to get all of our troops out of the middle east.

[MaxVel]

we might begin to look like the sort of people that they would want to be friendly towards.

You're converting to Islam, then?

I think the West should stop interfering in Muslim countries, that and ruthlessly squash any attempts by Muslims to invade in any way. And don't let Muslims of fighting age from countries that America has recently bombed immigrate into America. Agree? That might help.

But this is all off topic, anyway.

Do you condemn the use of violence to suppress free speech and other political views to your own?

Where do you think things in America are heading?

[Sparko]

The only way to "make friends" with the terrorists and radical muslim nations would be to totally capitulate to them and surrender our countries to theirs. Starting with Israel.

Just like the Nazi's in WW2. Sure we could have peace as long as we let them have their way and didn't fight back. Look how that turned out.

Irrelevant. The topic is: Do you support or condemn the use of violence against political opponents and the exercise of free speech? Yes or no?

Where is America heading with all this? Is a return to peaceful political discourse possible? Will it happen?

Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos are both high profile Alt-Right proponents whose political stance is repellent to many in the US...not just members of the Left. It was this that was being peacefully protested at Berkeley before, by all accounts, it was taken over by approx 150 violent masked agitators determined to disrupt it.

Bannon is irrelevant, he wasn't there. No-one is disputing the presence of agitators, so it's another of your red herrings. Return to topic.

Some have suggested that they emanated from the Alt-Right itself.

ECREE. Some have suggested that you're a complete loon. Guess that makes it credible, too.

Islam is not the religion of peace, it is the religion of submission, and those who refuse to submit are sentenced to death under Islamic law.

They are basically like the KKK of the Middle East. And the Liberals want to defend and buddy buddy them. Makes no sense at all.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense if you look at it from a spiritual perspective. Those who are of this world will naturally befriend anybody who is opposed to the Gospel.

You know that liberals and atheists have been referring to evangelicals in the US as "the Christian Taliban" for years now and calling your attempts to establish religiously based laws in the US "Christian Sharia"? From the point of view of many of us very little separates you guys from the nuttiest of the Muslims.

Religous based laws? what the heck are you talking about. Oh wait, you think outlawing abortion is "religious" right?

Which goes with recent polls that shows that something like 2/3 of liberals think Christians are at least as violent as Muslims. You guys live in your own little world strikingly similar to "Bizarro World"

Really? Where are these polls, and who did they poll, specifically? And what muslims were they referring to? The vast majority who live in western society quite peacefully & don't blow anyone up, or ISIS specifically?

Well, US evangelicals are viewed with a certain bemusement true, but I haven't heard anyone compare them to the taliban.

There's a difference to the violence propagated by the taliban and similar groups, and certain US evangelicals who are dangerous in other ways- removing evolution from schools, women's health, etc.

Conflating the two lessens the atrocities committed by the taliban and like minded people. Much like the over use of racism, sexism, homophobia and the like.

You shall not murder.
You shall not steal.
You shall not commit perjury.

Which one of these these "religiously based laws" shall we get rid of first?

It was a poll conducted by CBS and released February 3 where 66% of Democrat respondents said that the Islamic Religion does not encourages violence any more than other religions (such as Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism). 14% said it did encourage violence more. In contrast 63% of Republicans say it does encourage more violence with 25% saying it doesn't.
