"churlish at best and down right stupid at worst"
Resorting to name calling? OOOOkkkkaaaayyy.
"That is unfortunate but how did this discrimination manifest itself ?"
For me, very close family and friends stopped talking to me bc I was muslim. At least some were open enough to admit this was the cause. Others made it apparent by the fact that before Islam, they hung out with me, would live with me, and would acknowledge my existence. After Islam, they would no longer even say hello. No beatings, though.
"So admit it Dan, in the grand scheme of things, muslims in america have it pretty darned good."
I thought that I made that clear already... "Alhamdulillah, that is illegal here." I'll reword to make it utterly clear if need be. Alhamdulillah, that I live where I can pray when I need, go to juma', go to the masjid, say what I want (mostly), and it is illegal for anyone to try to stop me solely because of my faith. Cool?
"Maybe. Or it could just be part of the wider agenda of islamic imperialism and subjugation of non muslism to the rule of islam."
When muslims state this sentiment, they are paranoid. What does that make you?
You equate wearing a veil with a paraplegic disability and blindness? What are YOU talking about?
"stuck in dogma"
hhhmmmmm.......
