"Nearly half of all Americans believe the U.S. government should restrict the civil liberties of Muslim-Americans, according to a nationwide poll.
The survey showed that 27 percent of respondents supported requiring all Muslim-Americans to register where they lived with the federal government. Twenty-two percent favored racial profiling to identify potential terrorist threats. And 29 percent thought undercover agents should infiltrate Muslim civic and volunteer organizations to keep tabs on their activities and fund-raising."
More fear and hate in the "Land of the free"?

More distractions from the truth I see. But it is good that you go to the website you posted to overcome your religious/gay obsession. It's a nice first step for you.

Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

No, you simply have some issues that need to be addessed by a mental health professional, namely your obsession with finding any kind of dirt about the US... and your fear of God.

Imagine that.
"of the people, by the people, and for the people"
Who'da thunk it?
{edit} I'm aware that the above quote is not from the Constitution, but from Abe Lincoln. Just heading that off before it get's there.

So you think that if the majority of people believed that african americans should be kept as slaves that that would be fair and correct? Is majority rules an absolute for you?

What the hecxk is it with you and your ibsession with blacks and slavery/ civil rights? Do you exploit blacks to make all of your points or is it just when you don't really have any point to make?

That really doesn't clear things up for me. Are you saying that muslims who come to america are telling you not to be christian or whatever religion you follow?
