@maxdancona,
Quote:1. Property rights. They have the right to build a house of worship on a piece of property that they own where there is no legal reason that would prevent them (note the key word here is "legal" meaning "having to do with the law". the opinions of people who oppose, distrust and/or hate them is not a legal reason).
So where in this country have they been denied this right? I don't believe they have been. There have been some arguing against their building something but they have not been denied this right.
Quote:2. Presumed innocence (you may know this as "innocence until proven guilty"). You accusing them as being guilty of all sorts of terrible crimes. Of course, under the law they are innocent of any of these crimes until they are convicted by a court with due process.
Had any muslim been denied this right, then papers would be full of muslims sentenced to prison without a trial. I have not heard of any such thing, but if you can provide an example, then I would accept your point that muslims in the US have been denied this right. Just because someone accuses a muslim (or anyone else) of something does not mean they have been denied this right.
Quote:3., 4. and 5. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Association and Due process rights. All guaranteed by the US Constitution and protected by our Judicial branch (see the 1st 4th and 5th amendments in the link I posted).
I don't believe any of these have been denied to any muslim either. I'm sure you have examples, right?
Just because some individuals have, since 911 particularly, an issue with muslims and have taken a prejudicial stance against muslims does not translate into their being denied rights.
