Anyone notice how the press is lifting up Islam while smearing Christianity?

Well, with regard to the first poll, my original claim was that a considerable minority of Muslims want sharia law to be adopted the world over.  The fact that majorities of Muslims may want religion influencing politics and determining some law in their own countries is not surprising. 

[falls out of chair]

with their comparative birth rate, they don't have to conquer the world by force, all they have to do is wait a generation or two and Muslims are the largest group in Europe, then it will be "their own country" and then sharia law will be instituted and freedom of religion will be gone, and with it, freedom of speech and press.

it's already affecting our politics as schools are pressured by Muslims not to teach about the holocaust.  IN fact, the way pols prostitute themselves, it doesn't take a large segment of the population to hold vast influence on national policy.  The Muslims realize this.
 
Now, all this doesn't mean I think we should kick them out of the country, but we should be HAMMERING home the idea that freedom of religion/speech/press is the very fabric of Western society and that Western society will not tolerate anything contrary to those freedoms.  That's why Obama is so dumb in his handling of the ME revolutions, attempting to
decide which side he is on.  How about being on the side of FREEDOM?!  Why not speak to both sides by saying, "To the dictators, we think you are mass murderers.  To the people in the street, understand we are with you all long as you support freedom, which means freedom of religion/speech/press/assembly/etc.  If you gain power and then do not allow these basic freedoms, we will not accept you and we will call you out and view you as bad or as worse as the dictator you're trying to overthrow.  America is on the side of freedom, for it was founded by people yearning for freedom.  Freedom is the root of the idea that is America, that democracy without freedom can be worse than tyranny.  And the American people understand they don't have the right to take away the rights of those they disagree with.  so, to the people in the street, I tell you if you can't accept someone you disagree with as your neighbor, then America will not accept you as a neighbor among the world's nations.  and to dictators we say, Let your people live in freedom, and again to the people we say, Let your neighbor live in freedom.  For if you do so, you have our friendship, otherwise we have nothing in common and we are destined to be enemies."

So you believe that religion should not be separate from state if the religion is christianity, but if the religion is Islam, that religion should be separate?
