Read my whole comment, not just part of it. See that "and" up there?
Now, from your cite above:
"A Pew Research survey of 38,000 Muslims across 39 countries shows the
majority favour the implementation of sharia law - though interpretations
of the Islamic law vary widely."
My entire comment included the words, "...and wish Christians harm" Put
that with the last part of the sentence from your cite....."though
interpretations of Islamic law vary widely."

They used to and some are wishing to wage that war again against all
Muslims.

Now, where did I say that? I said that a small minority of Muslims want
to kill all Christians. I did not offer any consolation or protection
for them. Only for the majority of those religions. Most religions are
based in peace and brotherhood. Even with most Muslims. I don't see
basing a hatred on a people or a religion is the correct thing to do. It
is like hating all blacks because some of the black gang members in
Chicago shoot rivals.

?? Did you leave out the word "bet" or "think"? ;)
I have read a lot of the Bible and there are violent messages in their
also but most Christians don't follow them to the letter. Or what they
imagine the letter to be.

How is that different than some of the readings in the Quran?

I doubt the moderate Muslims would decapitate others simply because they
were non-Muslims. However, I will grant you that I don't know all of
them.

No, what I missed was the part that you had to be a Christian to do that.
I am not a Christian but I do help others in time of need with money or
with food, clothing, etc..

Please don't misunderstand what I am saying. I do not equate
Christianity and Muslims. They are different religions. Just like
Shintoism, Totemism or believing in Wind Gods. However, they do have
some things in common and one of those is a small group who look at
things literally and hate those who not agree with them. That is true of
all religions or bodies of belief. Folks were accused of heresy who
thought the world was round or that the sun did not orbit around the
earth or that the earth was the center of the universe.

Not necessarily. In many cases, I would suggest most, it is the people

Much of it is fear. Fear of death or your family being killed. You have

I have zero problem with the people who wish to come here being vetted.
I do kind of have a problem where it is easier to get on the no-fly list
than it is to be considered a prohibited possessor of a firearm. (I had
to mentinon that since I am responding in a forum on firearm politics.)
Yes, I know that it will take longer to get them in here and safe but I
also want to be as sure as I can that we are not importing terrorism to
our shores any more than normal.

Do not presume to tell me where I am speaking from. That is simply your
opinion. No more....no less.
That said, I do agree that certain things and freedoms in our country can
cause hurt that may or may not be intended. I also think that the media
and most institutions of higher learning are pretty set against religion
or even conservative causes. Perhaps, that is because folks on the right
or carry religious feelings in this country don't tend to behead their
opposition. ;)

Who the hell are "You folks"? I am neither Democrat or Republican. I am
an independent or centrist. I am not a true liberal nor a true
conservative. I am all over the map depending on the subject.

I don't think so.....I think you and I are pretty much in agreement on
that particular subject.
