In light of Obama's speech to the Muslim community I think we should have a little debate.
Intro
I live in middle Tennessee and the only talk show radio stations we have is a heavy republican oriented talk radio, and national public radio. NPR was playing the usual classical music, but its not very good while doing hard labour. On the other station. Phil Valentine, local republican talk show hero, had managed to get pretty heated about Obama's recent speech. He did mention some points that I would like to present to this forum.
Questions
1. Is the United States going to become a Muslim dominated country?
2. Will Obama's apologies be accepted by the Muslim community?
3. Should the nation worry about its president's new apologetic direction?
4. Would this help or hender the United States relations with the world community?

I see that this thread is getting a little testy.
I note that earlier you referred to Magus as a "Dhimma" and I gave you the benefit of the doubt at that point because you apologized when Magus called you on it. However, you then again proceeded to mischaracterize Magus.
Sarcastically mischaracterizing other posters is not civil debate. Please refrain from such comments in the future.
