Also, you keep claiming almost no one wears a Burqa yet this would be a huge strike against the muslims invading your country trying to turn it into a muslim state. So uh, which is it?

With every group of immigrants there are going to in fact be a few crazy extremists. Hell if I tried hard enough I'm sure i could find websites about Mexican immigrants wanting to turn part of the USA into Mexico. Black people wanting their own black continent and white people from California and or Alaska that want to be free from the US Government.

Well Alaska anyway... California somehow screwed up their state so bad they rely on government money.

 

Also, I'd rather support intolerant people who are mad about laws being brought against them, then intolerant people who make intolerant laws.

I'll bring up the example of the ACLU.  The American Civil Liberties Union.  A group who fights for minority rights more often then not free of charge.

They are obviously largely minority based... who's cases do they often take up?   The KKK.  Often times when the KKK is discrimintated against... it's the ACLU defending their rights.  Often with a black lawyer no less.

Most European countries score better on "murder per capita' then the United states of America. And with better I mean less murders of course. And normal crime rates as well. Look up your statistics again. 

 

And I never said a lot of people wanted to turn it into a Muslim state. It's a very small group that recently got in the media because they disturbed a reading in a university.

Muslim countries(which are mostly extremist countries) don't have intolerant laws right? Yet you still support the extremist Muslims here. 

You didn't read my post correctly there.

The areas with stricter gun laws... IN THE UNITED STATES.  Have higher murder and crime rates then areas with less gun restrictions.

Also, here is the sad part.  You were very against the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.  Yet your point of view is very much what allowed those wars to happen.

"You still support extremist muslims" is straight out of the Neo-cons "If you disagree with us you are supporting terrorists" book.  The same distrust and negativity you are showing is the same attitude many people had after 9/11 that allowed those wars to happen.

If another country has intolerant laws to immigrants of my people, I am not justified to have intolerant laws against their people.  That simply makes me just as bad as the people I condemn.  That makes ME the hypocrit.

I'm not supporting "The muslim extremists".  I'm supporting civil rights, and the ability to make positive change rather then simply try and hide the problem allowing it to fester.
