Lets see if I understand you Kirata,
Would any one of us, behave differently, if the website, were posted as another religion (in you example, Christianity)? As people on these boards, lump one group, that makes up a piece of the whole of that religion, to be a 'fair' representation of the whole itself. As your site, Cordobain, are the folks with the mosque that is currently being 'in debate' around the United States (correct me if I'm wrong). And the understanding at current, is that, yes, for conservatives, this group, believes the exact same attitude as those that attacked the USA on 9/11/2001. For liberals, it seems, the two are very seperate entities; but not only that, both are individual entities of the greater entity: Islam.
Still, as you pointed out, there is the concept of 'Seperation of Church and State'; while not directly listed in the US Constitution, it is consider a very important philosophy to follow. There are hundreds of Christian groups, that advocate largely the same concepts this particular groups had....from a Christian standpoint. What is the difference between this group philosophy, and those hundreds of Christian groups that advocate largely the same ideas?
I would argue that 'peace' and 'forgiveness' give more to a community, then 'violence' and 'hatred'. When a people sit, talk, in a calm manner, with patience and reason, the outcome is usually a mutual profit. When a people resort to anger, anomosity, and destruction, the only thing that comes from it, are alot of funerals. Which should be the 'Norm' for America and her citizens? And which should we avoid?
