The owner of that truck is a bit indiscriminate, but I agree with the core of his sentiment for the following reasons:

(1) Islam seeks to influence government and the courts to enact and enforce religious law.

(2) Islamic law stipulates the horrific treatment, torture and death of women, homosexuals and non-believers for purely religious offences.

For these reasons alone, some Islamic states are no better than NAZI Germany and should be dealt with similarly. An all-out war to end what would be considered genocide if it were directed against an ethnic group may become an unpleasant necessity and an ethical imperative.

If my country did the right thing and declared war on, for example, Iran for human rights abuses, I, personally, would sign up and grab a gun and shoot every Iranian Islamist that has been responsible for the torture and death of innocent Iranians who violated sharia law. And every Iranian Islamist who needed to be prevented from doing so in the future.

How can we turn a blind eye to this reality in the name of tolerance? Are we not human? Is it not our responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves? At least this fellow has the courage to speak out against what he understands on some level is wrong.

The same dictum must apply to any religion, including Christianity, that seeks to influence the legal and political functioning of a state. Complete religious freedom can only be granted upon condition of complete non-interference in public affairs by those granted religious freedom.

If the fundies get in power and begin burning witches again or stoning adulterers in Harvard Square, I'll join up to fight them, too.
