How do you feel about muslims having their own "area" basically autonomous to local, state, and federal Jurisdiction?

You have to read the text in the picture. What would you think about any other group of people asked for the same things? Mormons have been prosecuted for various reasons. Throughout history various religions have been prosecuted/persecuted for various reasons. Is this acceptable then?

Absolutely not in the United States. Over my dead body, to say the least.

I can't speak for how the English feel, but I'm certain it's similar.

Allowing them to govern their own federation would/could eventually lead to a separatist movement. Immigration is allowed because it fuels the economy under the government, a split of ownership pretty much labels immigration as useless.

I'm pretty sure that the British Empire set aside numerous such locations for their use around the globe.
This is more than a little ironic.

Didn't they leave a Muslim controlled community? Why?

Sounds like sovereign citizen mentality. "Sure I'm in your borders but I don't like your law so therefor I shouldn't have to follow your law."

You don't like living in a free countries borders, fine. If you want to live under Islamic law there's plenty of countries where you can do so. Go to them. We and any other western country don't need to give them ungoverned land to do what THEY want on. In our borders, follow our laws. No exceptions.

Bad enough we allow the Amish those freedoms, but at least they aren't accredited to mass terror events. I don't agree with this ever becoming a reality, just look at what Europe is going through! Islam is a problem because the Koran carries many violent passages. I've read it, and most Muslims can't read it ( middle eastern villages,etc). Usually the Koran is up to free interpretation that the religious leader determines according to their own bias.

They have their own space - throughout the Middle East. Go home if you don't like the way the game is played here!

That would be the first step into chaos for any country to allow certain groups autonomy. If one were ever allowed, many others would follow.

Wait a minute! i remember all the right wing websites insisting that plenty of cities in the UK already are like that, and the UK police fear to go into them. Oh, that's right--that was all BS designed to scare people. And now this one guy writes into a letter to the editor, and people are responding like all muslims are seeking that.

Of course it isn't. I'm sure people and Government officials in the UK think it is unacceptable as well. What point are you trying to make here? I don't think anyone is advocating this kind of special privilege for Muslims in any Western country. And to be perfectly honest, we have given many different groups these exact rights. It's not something to be proud of, but think about Native American Reservations. They are almost completely autonomous. It's not the same thing I know, but I'm just pointing out the fallacy in your statement here.

NO , they are human beings just like me and you. Just because they are MUSLIM which is a RELIGION and not a RACE, they should not get their own AREA. What they need to do is Stand up against all them terrorist groups and demand them to stop what they are doing and have them learn the CORAN.

Balkanization isn't something that the government should ever endorse or support. If he wants to live in an area ruled by and for Muslims, there are plenty of countries out there that fit the bill.

There are always people in every wave of immigration who argue that. Normally we let the market and some housing discrimination MAKE that happen then get all cranky when the Irish, Italians, Germans, Poles, Croats, Serbs, Hungarians, Thai, Vietnamese, etc etc start to to move up and out of those areas.

If they want to be separated from society, that’s THEIR concern!! But……There’s only One Way to Life Eternal, and That is through Jesus Christ!! He Said, “I am The Way, The Truth and The Life!! Jesus is Alive, Mohammed’s bones are in the ground!! All you have to do is SURRENDER your Life to The Living God, Jesus Christ!! SIMPLE!! TRUTH!!

Simply put, it's out of the question. They are ultimately committed to the destruction of non-Muslims. To permit them to be totally isolated in our midst, operating outside the laws of our land is a recipe for disaster.
