If I don't hate Islam then I must be ok with my country having Sharia law? Completely doesn't follow. A lot of moderate Muslims don't even want Sharia law.

But what about the ones that do? At what point, do you stop defending a religion, and start defending freedom?

What will it take for you to look at a particular Muslim and say "Your not allowed to do that in the name of your religion".

I realize bombing something counts, but is anything short of that OK?

People have the freedom to hate freedom.

It is only at the point where somebody infringes on the rights of others that they should not be allowed to do something. This includes discrimination in jobs, restricting freedom of movement on public land, preventing free-speech etcetera.

It doesn't in my opinion include them from building this Islamic centre, even if they do mean it as a giant 'Fuck You' to America. That doesn't actually infringe upon others rights, there is no human right to not be offended.
