Off-topic, but the constitution argument kinda bothers me. Do you realize that we are not that interested in human rights as a country? It has failed to stop people from being targeted by the police for no reason (Nixon criminalizes marijuana so the police can search stoner's and black peoples' homes). It doesn't even prevent people or races from being treated unequally. The court systems routinely convict black people more than white people. White people earn more than Asians or blacks for the same work. Some states can fire people on the basis of them being trans or gay. Women don't earn what men do. The government can freely spy on its citizens.
The constitution was NOT founded on the natural rights of people's... It was founded on the natural rights of white males. I know you realize this, we all took a history class, but you have to really think about it. We, as a country, are not that into human rights. How could we not have solved some of these obvious violations of human rights or inequality? If you don't believe that we are not progressive on human rights, look at our UN voting record. If you care about human rights it will horrify you.
I'm not saying any of this is alright (personally, I hate it) but human rights aren't even really cared about by our government.

No one said America was perfect. It's immensely flawed, but the Constitution is based on the principals that all people have rights from birth. The Constitution has allowed America to progress, to illegalize slavery, to give women the right to vote, to prevent the police from seizing evidence illegally. The Constitution is to he interpreted, and the courts change their interpretations over time and based on the ideologies of society. The world will never be perfect. America will never be perfect. The Constitution was made so that we as a country can always continue to work towards perfection, knowing it will never be achieved. No one expected the Constitution to make the government perfect from the get-go, but it has allowed America to grow.

you're confusing criticism of islam with criticism of muslims
|
no, they're both wrong. You can't criticize Islam without criticizing Muslims, and you can't criticize Muslims for their religious beliefs without criticizing Islam.

reminds me of that time a Christian terrorist group called on all Christians to kill non-Christian on Easter, haha
