"...results of polling data collected by Wenzel Strategiesduring October 22 to 26, 2012, from 600 US Muslims, indicate widespread support among rank and file American votaries of Islam for this fundamental rejection of freedom of expression, as guaranteed under the US Constitution. The First Amendment states, plainly,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
When asked, "Do you believe that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should be permitted under the Constitution's First Amendment?, 58% replied "no," while only 42% affirmed this most basic manifestation of freedom of speech, i.e., to criticize religious, or any other dogma.
Indeed, oblivious to US constitutional law, as opposed to Islam's Sharia, a largely concordant 45% of respondents agreed "...that those who criticize or parody Islam in the U.S. should face criminal charges," while 38% did not, and 17% were "unsure." Moreover, fully 12% of this Muslim sample even admitted they believed in application of the draconian, Sharia-based punishment for the non-existent crime of "blasphemy" in the US code, answering affirmatively, "...that Americans who criticize or parody Islam should be put to death.""
"Islam and America are fundamentally and totally incompatible: As Andrew Bostom writes, polling data from Wenzel Strategies reveals that 58% of Muslims in the United States do not believe "that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should be permitted" - IN AMERICA. In other words, they flatly reject the First Amendment of our Constitution.
Which means they reject America.
To allow Islamic ideology to take root in America is to nurture a parasite which will eventually destroy its host.
Additionally, 45% of Muslims in America believe that those who do criticize Islam or Muhammad should face "criminal charges," and 12% of Muslims in America believe that anyone who criticizes Islam should be put to death."
Seems there are quite a few Moslems in America that stand with Obamas proclaimation "that the future must not belong to those that slander the prophet of Islam."
I have no doubt that, in the United States, the total number of Christians who would like to outlaw criticism of Jesus outnumber the total number Muslims who would like to outlaw criticism of Muhammad. Both groups are fringe groups and neither group threatens the First Amendment in any substantial way. Nothing but fear-mongering here.

Almost 60% of Muslims in America want to silence our freedom of speech? That should be enough reason to deport them. If you come to this country and refuse to follow Western/American values, then you should be removed.
Also, it would be a good idea to end all immigration to these kinds of areas that produce this kind of thought.

While Islam isn't my favorite religion, 600 is a small sample and HOW one asks the questions matter. I imagine a lot of our fellow believers would think it'd be a great idea to make blasphemy against Christ a crime.

"Do you remember where you were the day that America's Dream was assaulted, stripped bare, and left to endure a slow and lingering death? That day began on June 4th, 2009, when President Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt and bowed his head to the Muslim World in a speech. He let the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic extremists, know that they had a fellow traveler and friend in the White House.
The president was clear, convincing and concise. The values and principles of the nation which has guided America's founders, the defenders, and its citizens for over 233 years, by 2009, was laid upon the alter of Islam, like yesterday's refuse. The new American dream of apology first, neutrality second and attack from behind third, was the new legal, moral and presidential construct.
Mitt Romney refuses to lead America into Obama's years of apologetic Islamic darkness. He represents a clear choice for America's Dream and America's Future. There is a difference.
So, as Obama planned his trek to Cairo, Egypt, according to published reports from May 28th, 2009, the president insisted that at "least 10 members of the Muslim Brotherhood be allowed to attend the speech." to be delivered on June 4th.
His speech ominously called "A New Beginning" foreshadowed the commencement of a renunciation of America's values, its principles and time honored sovereignty. Instead in its place was Obama's re-interpretation of America, its values and its principles. He used friendly couched phrases to be an apologist first, and allow the nation to be a scapegoat for all real or imagined misdeeds that were offensive to the Muslim world.
Obama stressed, "Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam." Obama used this as a conditional reason to massage the Muslim world's feelings of America and the West, not being in step or considerate of Islamic teachings."
Oh, how appropriate of you, quote mining to deliberately mislead your fellow forum members. Isn't there something in Christianity against bearing false witness? Why don't you post the sentence Obama said immediately after that one? Here, I will help you:
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied."
President Obama

QFT! Oh my! Who could imagine that I would agree with Rion on something!
