Well, the "conservatives" appear to be in the wrong here. Nobody is telling you that you have to agree with or even respect his point of view. The problem comes in when you tell him to get the frick out of "your" country.
You don't "own" this fricking country just because you choose to drape yourself around the flag. So stop bullying the people who don't and stop acting like you're more "American" then them.
I didn't suggest leave the country
I suggested that since you live here, earn a great living and enjoy fame, try to respect the country and our great history versus a Muslim perspective that has warped his views on reality..
Like I said, Muslim faith is not a friend of Christianity and is not a friend of any country where people want to enjoy freedom..
So yeah, It's a big deal to change your name and then say America is a Tyrannical government and refuse to stand for the anthem?
You're ok with this?

The converse is also true. That's the very nature of faith. If you are pissed at him in the name of faith you validate intolerance.

Freedom to do what? Practice one's faith? If you take pride on this Western European philosophy, practice it.

Not sure why? People take their spouse' lastname. Some have hyphenated names. Non-Christians take up Christian names - some non anglicized names sound like Muslim names. Eli/Elias, Yakub/Jacob etc. Some Chinese even take English names to make it easier to converse with locals. Sometimes to avoid discrimination. You know Pope Francis is not his real name. He assumed it after a religious ceremony.

There are militia men and Tea partiers who have been protesting government tyranny. People have protested lack of suffrage, civil rights, regulations yada yada. In fact a whole lot of states protested and even seceded from the US.

Yes. You have to guarantee freedom even when its uncomfortable. When people died to safeguard freedoms it was not selective. CJ's freedoms were also included in that.
Let me end in a rant way. You cannot guarantee freedom to wear hot pants on campus when you see a pretty girl and take it away when don't agree with the look.
