islamists ruining our freedoms.

This may be a step in the right direction but it still seems like it is missing the target. Why should myself and everyone else who enjoys freedom have to sacrifice more and more of our freedoms because of the fanatical muslims?

Every time the west comes up with ways to protect ourselves it seems that muslims use it to take away more of our freedoms. We pay with our taxes and our liberties due to the preachers of hate. We currently have many of these preachers of hate here currently and still nothing is done. Why should we have to pay extra for security measures? Why should we have to tone down what we say when it is obviously true just because some small minority is offended?

If the masses of this so called religion of peace can not even handle some cartoons then how can we trust them in our borders having freedom to go to the nearest hardware store? I see no other religion with goals of world domination. Sure, I have personally met some muslims that I have thought were pleasant enough, but I just do not trust their belief system, especially if they are true muslims, believing what is written in their book. It is a manual of war, hate and deception.

Time to take off the rose colored glasses and be realistic and not just hope for the best while most of the world sticks their heads in the sand. Economics play a big part in this but it seems we are getting the short end of the stick here. More feedom of ideas being discussed is only the beginning of trying to find some solutions. The looney left and organizations like CAIR fight us on every single front while not bringing any solutions to the table. It is getting closer to the point of not caring one iota of what they say and or think.
