I wonder what the removed comments said.

Probably something whacked out such as "Let us be reasonable..." or "If the United States were to ban a religion, then the concept of equal protection is completely undermined..."

Or something equally pussy-assed.

Hardly. Islam has nothing to do with liberty and freedom. In fact, it advocates the destruction of it. Islam is the exact same thing as Nazism, and we don't allow that here either.
Our constitution was never written with Islam in mind. It was written by Christians with a Christian society in mind and protection of it against those who would destroy it, which would include Islam.

We don't allow Nazism here?  Has this guy ever visited Illinois?  Or, for that matter, an Antelope Valley Republicans Club meeting?

Hint:  Musselmen/Mohametan = Muslim

Toj--you're expecting modern conservatives in general, and Freepers in particular, to be familiar with the history they supposedly revere.

Yes. My dad was an aerospace engineer who worked on the B-2 Stealth for Northrop.

I had to go there for a company event with my parents a million years ago.

Heh.  My first impression of this place was driving through on the 138 with the gal who became my wife, almost 20 years ago.  We were going up to Turlock to retrieve her crap from CSU Stanislaus, in June, in a Nissan pickemup without A/C, and we thought we were smart avoiding the LA traffic on the 5.  We drove through "scenic" Pearblossom and wondered aloud, "who the fuck would live here?"  Two years later she got her teaching job in "slightly more scenic" Littlerock...

The good part is, even with crap for credit, we own a house, can travel for many of our vacations, and have even managed to put in a pool, on two teachers' salaries.  The bad part is, it's the fuckin' desert, and those who aren't minorities seem to be almost required to be complete retards socially and politically, and loud and proud about their ignorance.  Those who are minorities are typically working too hard to give enough of a shit to vote out the "old-boy" network of shitheads we have governing and representing us.  Sorry, Fnord, since they changed our prison to an intake-only (no visitors) facility, the lazy ones have mostly moved away...
