A few more corrections

American taxpayers, yes, regardless of faith, have spent billions of dollars saving millions of Africans from AIDS. This blog says you're from the United States. And you really, honestly don't know about that? You should consider subscribing to a newspaper. Here's one of zillions of articles to help allay your ignorance:

Can you explain how, exactly, Christian missionaries prevent condom use in Africa? Priests sneak into people's homes and remove them? Christian pirates hijack condom shipments? Nuns set off IED's when the condom truck comes along?

I think everyone knows you don't go to Christian organizations for an abortion. You go someplace else. Do Muslim missionaries consul people on the nutritional value of pork? Actually, do Muslim missionaries consul people on anything? Do Muslim missionaries even exist? How many schools, health clinics and orphanages were built by Muslim missionaries last year?

The Tennessee law prevents the use of sharia law in Tennessee courtrooms. It does not prevent any Muslim from following his religion. The intent of the law is to prevent Muslims from imposing sharia on the rest of us, as Muslims are inclined to do everywhere they go. Catholics never seem to care what anybody else eats on Fridays during lent, when they don't eat meat. But non-Muslims are attacked, harassed and arrested for eating anything before sundown during Ramadan in Muslim countries.

I can guarantee that fasting or praying or avoiding pork won't be next. That guarantee is very easy to make, based on the existence that very un-Islamic thing called the Bill of Rights. Relax Ali Baba, you're safe now; you're in Dar al-Harb.
