[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Both groups are prone to a certain intolerance when it comes to issues that violate some tenet of their faith. [/quote] If an individual holds positions which that individual attributes to his faith and you do not support those positions, then you should not support that individual. That is true regardless of the individual's faith. If you are pro-choice, you should not support an pro-life Muslim, a pro-life Christian, or a pro-life Atheist (the late Christopher Hitchens was an example). My issue is with a blanket statement such as "I wouldn't support a Muslim" because that support is not based on anything beyond the individual's religion. It is no different than saying "I wouldn't support a woman" or "I wouldn't support a black person" or "I wouldn't support a Catholic". Not all Muslims are the same just as not all women, black people, or Catholics are the same. [/quote]
