They do not exist...I wrote them "letters", three times, and never received a reply.<br /><br />Seriously, as you have stated, to attempt any <i>honest</i> form of interaction with the civilized world, or to a lesser extent, even their neighbors or fellow workers, would require, at some point, the practicing (moderate) muslim to be at direct odds with the "teachings" of their faith.<br /><br />Sadly, because I see no other real alternative, your solution would appear to be the only morally viable one out there.<br /><br />Now what do you do about all the folks in this country who for whatever reasons, have converted to Islam? (This wold include the various strains of "Black Muslim" aka "Nation of Islam".) Do we force them to renounce their citizenship? Or do we do much the same as was done with the various home grown members of the "Communist Party", back in the 40's-60's, monitor them and act accordingly to whatever transgressions they happen to become a part of.Guy Shttp://navvet55.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
