    Come to America and live your lifestyle in peace. Yes, good luck with that. They want to come to America to destroy our country, enslave, kill, or convert.

    As far as I know Jehovah's Witnesses don't have a "jihad thing" towards unbelievers. They've been around for over a century and have chalked up ZERO terrorist acts. The fact they don't believe in Christmas trees is a big "so what?". Becoming a Jehovah's Witness is voluntary and anyone can leave without threats.

    There's a world out there saying "[insert various group identity] are outsiders and need to change." There's another world where I live where people off different backgrounds work together every day with no need to obsess about group identity or brand other as outsiders. Amazingly, we see each other at UU services, where over half of us are "atheists with children" (as the joke goes), but a good fraction are people from different faith backgrounds who are married or people get some comfort from their faith background but are opposed to taking scripture literally.

    A good book on interacting with people from other faith backgrounds is How to Be a Perfect Stranger.

    My wife and I are humanist atheists. We had a friend who was Jehovah's Witness. It was against her religion to recognize any holidays or even to say happy birthday. Did we make it clear to her that it's the predominate custom in America to recognize birthdays and that she is in a minority that must adapt and graciously accept our tolerance of her beliefs? Did we point out that UUs would (theoretically) be more accepting of her than her church would be of atheists? Did we reminde her that trees and religious festivals have deep roots in many cultures, and if she can't take most of the world is undeveloped, so she could go there? Obviously not!

    I'd like to see the US, or more likely some other country, maybe some micronation, become more of model of liberty, with very few laws but strictly enforced. Come to America. It's an idea of liberty, not an ethnicity. Bring your lifestyle, as long as it doesn't break the law. You can have your Lexus without giving up your olive tree.

    Allah should embrace the gay lifestyle first before judging those who do as well. Who knows, he might actually like it.

    The problem is the incompatibility of our two separate sets of cultural customs.
    As harsh as it is to say, some cultures are just savage and barbaric. Honor killings have no place in the West.

    Good luck with that.

    They don't "understand" anything but their brutal Islamic "laws".
