Wow, I thought WrongPlanet was better than this. If you were asking if Islam was a threat, maybe that would kinda be reasonable in a way, at least then you're disagreeing with the religion instead of actual people. Islamism being a threat, no problem there. But Muslims being a threat to the modern world? Not Al-Qaida or the Taliban or even Iran, but all Muslims? Yeah, because obviously I spend my weekends constructing explosives and stoning adulterers, right? Being a decent American citizen who obeys the law and thinks people have the right to freedom of religion is just a ruse, I suppose. After all, obviously Osama bin Laden is a perfect representation of millions of people. But there's no way anyone could suggest Joseph Kony had anything to do with normal Christians, for example. No no no, that would be intolerant. 
Grow up. There will always be nutcases willing to use any religion as an justification for evil, please don't judge the rest of us by their actions.

great post,
i agree 100%
unfortunately on here some people think they are justified in some of the worst behavior humanity has to offer, often its the people that are so far off that no one has a chance of reaching them in the first place, making it almost impossible to do anything about the irrational behavior when it ensues.

I'm not suggesting that all Muslims in the West are suicide bombers, genital mutilators and fanatical lunatics. Far from it.
There's a worrying minority though that does agree with homophobia, and anti-Semitism and terrorism (even if not carrying it out), and it's not necessarily small in Britain and I believe it's that that's a cause for concern. The majority Muslim population needs to be given help to ostracise and deal with the extremists that exist. Being able to laugh at these weirdy-beardy fanatics (as well as making sure that others, like elements of the EDL aren't left out) rather than trying to mollify them would be a good start.

Do you believe religious freedom also applies to people who are born Muslim and want to apostate themselves?

The sad thing is that the majority of Muslims scholars call on apostasy to be punished by either death or imprisonment until you 'repent'.
Charming.
Can you repent when you are dead? That's a bit of a tricky one.*

Yes, I do. I don't think there's any situation in the modern world that the shari'ah punishment is applicable to, and in general, the rule against compulsion still applies. That is, no one can be forced to be Muslim, regardless of what religion they were raised to believe.
