#1 Once a mosque is built and people begin to pray therein, that place remains a mosque until the end of this world.

If ending their world is what it takes, then so be it. People who refuse to take "no" for an answer and have a bare handful of nuclear weapons between them just aren't cut out for long term survival.

#6 "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" - The Declaration of Independence

I believe the phrase "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is irreconcilable with the Islamic concept of submission as was the concept that a free democratic society was irreconcilable with the institution of slavery. One or the other can not stand.

#7 Right back at ya, Zenster. I saw the tag-line and thought the balloon might finally have gone up. Not that I would condone such a thing, but I expect a morning when people wake up, grab a pack of matches and can of anything flammable from the garage and head for the local "holy site".
