   Oh, I get the point. I'm a Muslim, I've been told "we don't want you here, go back where you came from" which in my case happens to be Kentucky. 

The United States, setting the moral standard? Showing those inferior "evil" people how it should be done? 

Signs in the United States....

"Baptist preacher defends church's anti-Islam sign

By JEFF BRUMLEY
The Times-Union, 

The sign may be controversial, but the Rev. Gene A. Youngblood said it is researched and speaks the truth.
"Islam is evil and believes in murder," reads the sign at the entrance of First Conservative Baptist Church and the Conservative Theological Seminary on St. Augustine Road in Jacksonville. "Jesus teaches peace."

Church's Sign Against Islam Sparks Controversy

Posted: May 11, 2007 

Spring Hope, N.C. � Words like "bomb" and "die" draw attention to the small sign in front of Good News Independent Baptist Church.

Rev. Gary Murrell put up the sign, which on one side claims the message of Islam is "submit, convert or die."

The other side reads: "When is the last time you heard of a Jew or Christian with a bomb strapped to their body?"

Pastor defends anti-Islam message on church sign
by: 

AVON, Ind. � The Rev. Marc Monte defended his decision to place his Sept. 7 sermon topic, "Islam: America�s Number One Enemy," on his church sign, saying he meant to provide needed information, not a message of hate.The Indianapolis Star reported that Monte, pastor of Faith Baptist Church, said the message contained information the public does not get from the media and many religious leaders.
"I want to stir up interest, not alarm, but Islam is a false religion, dangerous and hate-promoting," said Monte.
"If I were a pastor who read KKK literature or Hitler�s �Mein Kampf,� I would hope the members of my church would head to other churches. It is awful stuff. I repudiate it, and I put Islam in the same camp."

Church sign sparks debate

FOREST CITY � A sign in front of a Baptist church on one of the most traveled highways in the county stirred controversy over religious tolerance and first-amendment rights this weekend.
A sign in front of Danieltown Baptist Church, located at 2361 U.S. 221 south reads �The Koran needs to be flushed,� and the Rev. Creighton Lovelace, pastor of the church, is not apologizing for the display.
�I believe that it is a statement supporting the word of God and that it (the Bible) is above all and that any other religious book that does not teach Christ as savior and lord as the 66 books of the Bible teaches it, is wrong,� said Lovelace. �I knew that whenever we decided to put that sign up that there would be people who wouldn�t agree with it, and there would be some that would, and so we just have to stand up for what�s right.�
Church sign about Islam offends Muslims
By Michelle Malkin  �  May 12, 2007 11:20 AM 
Several North Carolina readers send word of this WRAL report about a church in Spring Hope that is rankling local Muslims. The church�s sign is causing controversy:

Well, as Robert Spencer has noted, Muhammad did in fact command Muslims to subjugate, convert, or kill non-Muslims (see, e.g., Sahih Muslim 4294). And salvation in Jesus Christ is certainly not the message of Islam."
Mandarin church sign upsets Muslims

By Steve Patterson
Times-Union staff writer, 

A Mandarin church has alarmed Muslims by posting a roadside message that said Islam's founder endorsed murder in the Quran.
The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations yesterday asked members of the clergy to speak against the message at the First Conservative Baptist Church, 12021 St. Augustine Road.
A sign there reads: "Jesus Forbade Murder Matthew 26-52 Muhammad Approved Murder Surah 8-65." A surah is a chapter in the Quran, Islam's scripture, which Muslims believe to be God's word in Arabic.

So many "evil" signs put up by so many good Christians accross the good old United States.....

There are still high schools in this country that have separate proms, one for the white kids and one for the black kids. A throw back to 30 years ago and the "Whites Only" signs. 

"About now, high-school seniors everywhere slip into a glorious sort of limbo. Waiting out the final weeks of the school year, they begin rightfully to revel in the shared thrill of moving on. It is no different in south-central Georgia�s Montgomery County, made up of a few small towns set between fields of wire grass and sweet onion. The music is turned up. Homework languishes. The future looms large. But for the 54 students in the class of 2009 at Montgomery County High School, so, too, does the past. On May 1 � a balmy Friday evening � the white students held their senior prom. And the following night � a balmy Saturday � the black students had theirs.

Racially segregated proms have been held in Montgomery County � where about two-thirds of the population is white � almost every year since its schools were integrated in 1971. Such proms are, by many accounts, longstanding traditions in towns across the rural South, though in recent years a number of communities have successfully pushed for change. When the actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for last year�s first-of-its-kind integrated prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi, his home state, the idea was quickly embraced by students � and rejected by a group of white parents, who held a competing �private� prom. (The effort is the subject of a documentary, �Prom Night in Mississippi,� which will be shown on HBO in July.) The senior proms held by Montgomery County High School students � referred to by many students as �the black-folks prom� and �the white-folks prom� � are organized outside school through student committees with the help of parents. All students are welcome at the black prom, though generally few if any white students show up. The white prom, students say, remains governed by a largely unspoken set of rules about who may come. Black members of the student council say they have asked school administrators about holding a single school-sponsored prom, but that, along with efforts to collaborate with white prom planners, has failed. According to Timothy Wiggs, the outgoing student council president and one of 21 black students graduating this year, �We just never get anywhere with it.� Principal Luke Smith says the school has no plans to sponsor a prom, noting that when it did so in 1995, attendance was poor.

As for disparity in the way criminal cases are handled, let's see. Have you ever heard of Shantay Latrice Wheeler? Nikki McPhatter? Ali Gilmore?

Ali Gilmore: pregnant, missing since Febuary 3, 2006, African American

Shantay Latrice Wheeler: pregnant, missing April 2001, found 5 months later murdered, African American

Nikki McPhatter: missing May 4, 2009, found shot, stuffed into a car trunk and set on fire by her boyfriend in June, African American

No? But I'm sure you know who Laci Peterson and Natalee Holloway are.

Does the U.S. let perpetrators of crimes remain at large if they know where they are? Sure, it happens all of the time. Especially if you happen to be white and rich. In fact, my tax dollars are bailing out a bunch of criminal companies as I write this. Our ex-president and ex-vice-president are both guilty of war crimes and not only are they roaming about freely, they are being guarded on my dollar. 

AS for the police responding to a crime scene instantly, well, that depends on where you live and who you are. Ask anyone who lives in a poor, racially mixed neighborhood.  An example: Dallas, TX:

"The murder rate in southern Dallas is twice as high as in the rest of the city. Assaults are nearly twice as likely in the south as in the north. Business or home burglaries are one and a half times higher in the south than in the north. 

Police response times are slow citywide by national standards � and they're worst in the highest-crime areas. And the officers patrolling those neighborhoods are the department's least-experienced, The News' analysis found. 
One harsh judgment: "We've abandoned the people and the neighborhoods."

Apparently we haven't come too far in our enlightenment as a people or a country. Perhaps we should work on changing ourselves before passing moral judgement on everyone else.
