I'd just like to note for the record that none of my friends are operating death camps or starting a world war. Yesterday, at least one American did at least one bad thing, somewhere. Are you culpable for that? Are you inferior? So far in this conversation, the post I responded to identified muslims, jews, blacks and gays as morally inferior. I objected, and you're tripling down on the assertion. Am I misunderstanding you?

But they would if they were allowed to. They want to criminalize abortion? That's women lives on the line. "Pro life" is actually "pro death of poor under-age mothers from bleeding from illegal abortion", always call them that. They want to make porn illegal? They just made everyone a felon, and they can pull anyone over and land him in a camp. Even fascist didn't have such a good tool. CheKa grade. They want to tinker with age of consent? They'll make a 16 year old girl and her 17 year old boyfriend both felons. Is that nice? They agree to predatory, murderous, bloody ideas all the time and they are still "good people". As a group they do that. That's so nice of them. I try to find one thing religious people are getting right over agnostics/atheists and I seriously can't think of one. UPD: I'm not saying people are inferior, just that their beliefs are and they would be better off without those.

  I agree with your policy recommendations. Your problem isn't with muslims, it's with social conservatives and specifically social conservatives who want to legislate their morality on the rest of us (a population that, in the US at least, is 99% non-muslim and in fact most of them hate muslims). I'd suggest that focusing on muslims distracts from the issue, unless your actual problem is really with muslims specifically and you're being disingenuous with your policy concerns. And no, my friends would not be operating death camps if they were allowed to. They're nice people, good work ethic, live and let live types.

    Mad social conservatives (or I would call them social sociopats) are using religion as a medium of legislating their morality on the rest of us, AND people who are religious do not visibly protest against that, AND social sociopats use the sheer numbers of people who "believe in something" as if they were all agreeing with sociopats on the basis of believing. If only people stopped being "a bit religious" social sociopats will lose a lot of turf and become a lot less scary. And currently they are very scary.
