CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You're allowed to call the Catholic Church the W.... of Babylon. You shouldn't go to jail for that. That does actually make America a better place. And I'm Catholic.
Not to mention these things have been spouted off at Masses by protesters many times in the past, on private property, inside the Church, and still nobody called for "hate crime" charges.

To the same degree?
Keeping in mind, Muhammed himself was a political leader with territorial ambitions.
And the integration of the two concepts (religion and politics) was there right from the get go.
Along with prescriptions for how to infiltrate and overtake new territories, and govern them (including what to do with non-Believers who were already there)
For example, the dhimmi status. Where in a Muslim conquered territory, "people of the book" could be allowed to maintain their religion in exchange for a fee/tax known as jizya.
