After reading this article, I have come to realize that people whom practice Islam need to respect America. I was born here in America. If I had not been and had the opportunity to come here to live, I would be grateful for the new life it would instill in me. But, I would not be so aggressive due to my religious beliefs that I would make my entire life's goals to make everyone convert to Islam. A person must remember that America was founded on the freedom of religion practices. Just because you may be of the Islam religion, and you have come to America to live, it does not mean that you have to make all of America convert to Islam. To do so and to strive to do so, is breaking the law of America's freedom of choice in religion. Americans are very picky about their own choice of religion and when any group(s) starts to make threats or try to initiate changes to a persons choice of religion and to take that freedom away, you are walking into territory that is not yours to claim. For one thing, America has all types of religions here practicing their faiths. If someone starts pushing their beliefs onto others with the accumulation of threats along with threats of taking over America due to that religious belief, they are going to be hit with a big fight, one that they will never win. America is the land where all religions are to be respected but only as those whom respect do they get that in return
