19. I'm afraid I do

I'm of the opinion that if you found the wrong lover or the wrong deity, you should be free to change your mind as new information and feelings develop. Killing someone because they want Chamomile instead of Earl Grey is barbaric and does not belong on this planet.

I know there ARE massive numbers of good, decent Muslims, who do NOT subscribe to such harsh punishments. But this desire by people to minimize the number of harsh Sharia supporters is NOT a positive progressive principle.

No, we should not exclude Muslims from our country. But we need to recognize that there ARE people whose passions and obedience to their religion (be it Christian Dominionists or Islamists) are extreme enough that yes, certain churches and mosques, and their worshippers, need to be targeted for monitoring.
