If Americans Were as Tolerant as Islam....

As I have driven across America I am still amazed at what a wonderful country we have. Yes, we have problems, but we have overcome so many and are working to overcome so many more. I see mosques, Catholic churches, synagogues, and protestant churches in the same communities, and I think, in what other country can you see this? We Americans are a stubborn people. We want to work to provide for our families, we want to spend time with our families, and we want to be left alone. It is part of that “do unto others…” thing. I was driving with my wife and saw a mosque in the distance and thought, how can people believe the hateful things that the islamisc extremists say about America?
If Americans were as tolerant as islam, then after September 11, 2001, every mosque in America would have been burned down.
If Americans were as tolerant as islam, every muslim, men, women, children, would have been killed.
If Americans were as tolerant as islam, our republican government would have been replaced with the Spanish Inquisition, with heretics being persecuted and tortured into conversion or death.
If Americans were as tolerant as islam, all women would have to surrender their driver’s license, could not be seen in public without a male member of their family, could not own property.
If we are nicer to the islamisc extremists then perhaps we will be as tolerant as they are. Wait, that won’t work out well for them.
