For example, many have posted verbatim language from the Quran calling for followers to kill people for no other reason than they don't have the same religious beleifs as Muslims. Any politicans taking this one on? not that I see.

Mexicans and other central and south American country's citizens are illegally entering our nation, illegally driving cars on our highways, and committing other crimes with impunity. (I have heard of a study that shows that over 30% of our prison inmates are illegal aliens). Anybody taking this one on? NOPE! The only language you hear on this is some idiots insisting on ignoring the crime and simply calling them immigrants. This should infuriate those who legally went through the process and legally became citizens of our nation, but we have been bullied into silence.

It is not healthy!

This is figure approximates the numbers from Iraq Body Count, the most well documented, and highly regarded, source of civilian Iraq deaths from violence during our war with Iraq.
