You saw the polls I linked to in another thread, but perhaps you forgot.
Halfway to Theocracy
44% of American Republicans want Christianity to be the official religion of their country, and a slightly less percentage want Islam to be made illegal. Yet no one criticizing Muslims (I do not mean you) is batting an eye at results like this even though this is just as disturbing as the poll results they like to state regarding Muslim opinions.
For me, this is just as bad.
That poll shows that 90% of Republicans do not want to remove religious freedom from our constitution. Which is contradictory to the other poll results about Islam being illegal and Christianity being the official religion. Obviously this makes me question the credibility of that poll.
But ok, for arguments sake, let's say the 44% is accurate.
I still don't see what kind of math you were using when you conclude that 44% is "just as bad" as 80%.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
