The citizens of The United States are between 70 and 80 percent Christian by practice. There are also Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and other religions being practiced here. We, as a nation, have always allowed people to believe as they choose even if they choose not to believe anything. I am more than angered that Muslims demand we remove all things Christian from public view, while insisting we bend over backward to accommodate their religious practices. They say they are offended by things of Christianity. They knew this was a Christian nation before they chose to move here. Perhaps this is just another form of terrorism. Where is the backbone of our Justice system? So they are offended, let them go back to a country that practices the Muslim faith. Do we go to the Middle East and demand that all things Muslim be remove from public places? If we did, do you think they would accommodate us?
Christians and Jews have lived peacefully together since we became a nation. We make no demands on each other nor claim to be offended by the other’s religious symbols and practices. Atheists, however, have caused us some grief, but only because we acquiesced to the commotion of one or two. Again, I ask, where is the backbone of our judicial system?
How, indeed, can anyone be offended by something they don’t believe in? I don’t believe in little green space men, but I am not offended when I see plastic renditions of these space men displayed as decorations or on store shelves. Am I the only one who cares that America is cowering over the possibility that anyone who is non-Christian might be offended? There are far too many non-Christian nations for them to move to if our religious practices interfere with their delicate sensibilities. I’m sure there are many Muslims who just want to quietly live beside us and not cause problems. It is time for you to speak up and tell the trouble-makers to shut up. Let us gather our collective voices and say, “If Christianity offends you, please select another country more in line with your beliefs.”
