We have freedom of religion here? Not if you're Muslim.

Oak Lawn, Illinois: A conservative Muslim faction called Hizb ut-Tahrir held a convention this weekend at the Oak Lawn Hilton in this Chicago suburb. Outside was held another convention, a convention of protesters who didn't like this group in their backyard (NIMBY?). Technically this Muslim group is a political party with their own religious agenda. Just like the Republicans want that everyone in the U.S. convert to christianity and become a heterosexual white male this group would like everyone to convert to Islam. Republicans are afraid. So much so these protesters claim Hizb ut-Tahrir should be considered terrorists. I assume because christians aren't terrorists? We all know how those bible-thumpers are full of love and compassion for their fellow man. But I guess it takes a terrorist to know a terrorist. One protester complains, "I want to know why the FBI has a terrorist watch list and why this group is not on that list?" Could it be the FBI knows more about them than this idiot does? Methinks they might.

Ah, to be a white, conservative, NASCAR loving, christian, male in the United States. Everyone else is going to hell. The way it should be. This country is only a melting pot if you become like those who hate, christian.

I'd also like to comment on the two gay guys who were harassed in Salt Lake City by police and Mormon officials for kissing. These two fellas were on private property that had their own decency standards. While these standards might not match those of others around the country they are the standards set for this area of privately held land. There are certain things that don't go on in my house, too, and if you do them I escort you to the door. These men are disrespectful boobs and should have been shoo'd away. Maybe not this harshly but sent away. These Mary's need to get over it.
