Should US Muslims have to wear a crescent moon badge as to easily identify them?

Obviously, there are one too many bad apples. Why should the rest of us put up with being under siege by these barbarians?

So? Should US muslims have a crescent moon sewn into their lapels?

How soon should we round them up and put them into camps?

You want to feel safe don't you?

really the law and political correctness argue against marking people of non-Christian religions

BUT. There is NO prohibition against being bigoted against persons afflicted with mental disorders.

BE PRAGMATIC. Go where the law allows you to go.






























Ya, that's cynicism times 10^6

I think that would be better.

(I'm talking about the ones that really do have stupid ideas about gay people, obviously. The ones that don't won't have to.)

17. in Arab-occupied Andalusia, non-Muslims had to wear a badge
Mon Jun 13, 2016, 06:34 PM

In Islamic Spain, Jews and Christians were tolerated if they:

acknowledged Islamic superiority
accepted Islamic power
paid a tax called Jizya to the Muslim rulers and sometimes paid higher rates of other taxes
avoided blasphemy
did not try to convert Muslims
complied with the rules laid down by the authorities. These included:
restrictions on clothing and the need to wear a special badge
restrictions on building synagogues and churches
not allowed to carry weapons
could not receive an inheritance from a Muslim
could not bequeath anything to a Muslim
could not own a Muslim slave
a dhimmi man could not marry a Muslim woman (but the reverse was acceptable)
a dhimmi could not give evidence in an Islamic court
dhimmis would get lower compensation than Muslims for the same injury

that this justifies making Muslims in this country wear a badge that identifies them as Muslim?
