Half of US Muslims: Criticism of Islam Should be a Crime

Not only do half of US Muslims think criticism of their religion should be a crime, 40% want to be ruled by Sharia Law, not our Constitution.

One in five could not agree those who criticized Islam should be spared the death penalty.

Does anyone think this is not a problem?

What would be if somebody would criticize the Christianity? Claiming would become; as Uta Ranke- Heinemann; that the Roman Catholic church would be a homosexual church? Or, like some people, that Christ would have been gay? That only the whole Christianity would aim at it that the peple become slaves of church leaders. Would Christians want not to defend the Christianity either, make such statements even under punishment of the law? Perhaps some shooting these critics like rabid dogs?
So all of us would feel more or less; if to what we think and love; is made make contemptuously or ridiculously.

They criticize Christianity all the time, up to and including taxpayer funded 'art' in NYC. The difference is, Christians leave it up to God to punish people.

Also Christians take the law into their hand. I only remind of the bombers in abortion clinical complexes or the murderers of abortion doctors. Even in a church!
And I also remember myself on these cases of " Christian warriors for God ":
On September 22, 2000, a 55-year-old man named Ronald E. Gay, angry for being teased about his last name, entered the Back Street Café in Roanoke, Virginia, a gathering place for lesbians and gays just a few miles from Lynchburg. Confident that God’s Word supported his tragic plan of action, Mr. Gay shouted, “I am a Christian soldier, working for my Lord.� Claiming that “Jesus does not want these people in his heaven,� he shot seven innocent gay and lesbian people. One man, Danny Overstreet, died instantly. Others still suffer from their physical and psychological wounds.
In July 1999, Matthew Williams and his brother, Tyler, murdered a gay couple, Gary
Matson and Winfield Mowder, in their home near Sacramento, California. Speaking to his mother from the Shasta County jail, Matthew explained his actions in this way: “I had to obey God’s law rather than man’s law,� he said. “I didn’t want to do this. I felt I was supposed to. I have followed a higher law...I just plan to defend
myself from the Scriptures.�
After Matthew Shepard was killed in 1998, a pastor in North Carolina published an open letter regarding the trial of Aaron McKinney that read: “Gays are under the death penalty. His blood is guilty before God (Lev. 20:13). If a person kills a gay, the gay’s blood is upon the gay and not upon the hands of the person doing the killing. The acts of gays are so abominable to God. His Word is there and we can’t change it.�

And these are only some of the many cases, where "Christian soldiers" took the law into their own hand.

Where did Jesus say to do that? He never harmed anyone. Your post is about as irrelevant to the OP as me pointing out atheistic commumists killed 100,000,000 in a single history.

Hardly comparable to an average of five jihadists terror attacks every day.
