[quote=dumbrenter][quote=harvey]How are they not equivalent? They are both religions and protected equally by the constitution.
Can you explain what is not equal?[/quote]
I am surprised you don’t see that (or suspect you don’t seem to want to see that, but will try anyway).
One historically used the religion for control of state but essentially retreated after a long bloody cycle of violence. The other still openly advocates violence as a tool to expand politically. It is an even more deadly variant of a memetic disease that has not been ‘dealt with’ yet.
But again, the OP expressed a much more local & mundane fear about buying next to islamic center. I provided example of a community dealing with just such a thing in Michigan. And some of you wanted to shout the OP down and attempted to draw a false equivalence between churches and moslem centers. If expressing such a fear makes OP a troll, what does that say about who you are?[/quote]
dumbrenter, OP is/was a “troll,” IMO. He had absolutely no interest in buying even a doghouse in Del Sur, which is the subject area of this thread. He put this one-sentence gem of a thread out there for ONE reason only …. that is, to incite hatred for yet another group (whom he doesn’t want to live with) which has settled into every corner of the US in recent decades. Yeah, I just said “every corner.”

Just saw this thread. I don’t understand why OP even started this thread (except for possible trolling purposes). Why is he gravitating back to Del $ur when the monthly HOA/MR there is “eye-watering.” And the current new development there is selling homes which have “particle board cabinets with metal drawers … for $1.5M” (quoted from his own words in the OP from the “Best Family Areas” thread).
I am surprised you don’t see that and are apparently still trying to defend him at this late date!
