Please,,
Explain the Conquistadors. bringing god to the heathen Mayans.( and carrying off all the gold they could carry)
or How about the Crusades and Inquisitions?
An honest look at History will show a lot of conquests,, by various nations and under the name of religion.
It is not the religions fault that corrupt men use it for their own purposes, and it is always twisted out of shape to do so.
While at the same time good folk of that same religion are doing good..
There are both good and evil in the world.. and evil uses religion too.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Actually, yes, prosecuting individuals who perform criminal acts IS the answer. The mischief begins when the motivation for such acts is held to be the problem. Do you see the difference? 'Radical Islam' could then be considered a threat FOREVER, as it can never be defeated...it's a motivation, not a person or organization. If you understood this distinction, your topic would be: Ron Paul's position on the Threat of Criminal Conspiracies. But you didn't, as you hold "Radical Islam" responsible.
radical fundamentalist Muslims, Jews and Christians are seemingly intent on bringing about the destruction of mankind via nuclear holocaust. We are all too polite to say or do anything about it!
