Even then, I wouldn't go as far as calling for the 'destruction' of another race or religion. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs and such, I just want the right to not have these people practicing their beliefs around me or forcing their beliefs on me.   However even if we were to segregate all people, there would still be complaints about who gets the best land or who has the right to force X group to live at X location let alone who can practice what believe where and it would be quite hard to enforce such rules.  Even if you were to kill off entire groups, you can't police thoughts and beliefs in theory. I mean, we Americans did a pretty bad thing with the Native Americans. Some of their tribes still exist and they still practice their customs but we pretty much killed the will and longevity of their people and soon they will cease to exist.   Kill the language, kill the customs, kill the people.  Historically it has been a very effective method.  There could always be the exception though. I mean, there are still people that believe in the Greek and Roman Gods and worship them, albeit they are few and far between. However what did succeed was the removal of those people as a group that has influence over other groups, which is the goal.  At the end of the day I would like to think that people just want to be left alone to their own group but when their religion says they are a divine people who are meant to rule over other groups, that is where the trouble comes in. it's not even really about religion, but if you want to get into religions like muslim....you words are dead wrong. the muslim religion is archaic. it teaches hate. and I'm not just talking about jihad terrorists either. a lot of people try to obscure just how twisted the muslim religion and shia law is, by trying to make it out like it's being misconceived due to muslim terrorists. but it's not. the muslim religion is a religion with a fixed course to ignorance and lashing out at whoever it decides its next enemy is.     to them, we are as sub-human as pets for not being muslims. just because someone calls something a religion, and has millions of followers, doesn't mean it's good, or harmless, or that it should be allowed to exist under freedom of religion. I would be hesitant to even refer to it as a religion at all; because it's more like a dictator made out of paper and ink rather than flesh and blood.     I mean for god sakes, we're talking about a people who are soo fanatic, normal every day muslims poured from their mosque's to murder and rape by the dozens in the US embassy...all because some guy burned a koran thousands of miles away, or drew a picture of mohammad. there is no defense for that behavior.     really, the only thing keeping back most of the muslim world from unleashing itself on the rest of the world in full force, is power. but you can be sure that if they ever get the power to do so, it will be done.     keep in mind, you're defending a country that still stones people, a country where prison guards rape female prisoners before execution (and get away with it by forcing a temporary marriage), a country that kidnaps and imprisons tourists on a whim, always accusing someone of being a spy. that's just recent history. it seems you should look up iranian history for the last 50 years in detail.     heck, iran, cuba, and venezuela all nationalized things like oil and electric....and american companies paid dearly for it. it was dictators taking over industries that would give them complete and absolute power. when you get down to it, it was all essentially robbery. taking property, equipment, buildings, breaking contracts, etc....all with little to no compensation. we're talking 10's of billion of dollars a year industries, just stolen.     and say what you will about iraq....but there's no way irans nuclear program is peaceful...and there's also no way it's just for use against israel.    even having nukes just for negotiation leverage is deplorable and unacceptable.
