If you had provided examples, I must have missed them. I do not recall you providing examples of Muslims using their religion to get their way.
As a response, however, have you no clue about how Christians have used their religion to get their way?
- Banning same-sex marriage.
- Many counties in the US are dry (no selling of alcohol) or no selling on Sundays.
- Laws against gambling.
- Do you recall the Moral Majority?

No. All you did was provide a small list of professions, with no explanation.

Um...a little bit of hyperbole? One person got angry about hearing the word "pig". Does that mean ALL Muslims are set off when they hear the word "pig"? How many Muslims hear the word "pig" on a fairly regular basis?
Are you a Christian? Christians are child molesters, and seeing young boys get them off.

That is an incorrect way of deductive reasoning. Simply because they have gotten their way on some issues, does not mean they will get their way on everything. There is such a thing as a compromise, and Muslims, I'm sure, have to deal with having to compromise on some issues. It's like saying that as more and more Democrats realize that they can cry foul to get their way, they will. Like making a single-payer healthcare system.
You can bring up Europe all you want. Europe is simply adjusting their culture to be more inclusive of Muslims, just like our country will have to go through. Just like we went through when we had a mass influx of Italians, and Irish, and Orientals. Our culture simply became more diverse. 'Twas not so long ago that there was no such thing as a Sushi Bar.

I said that
I was not.
Abolishing does not equate to killing. You are putting words into my mouth. From everything that I gathered from you multitude of postings, you'd be willing, and in favor of keeping Muslims out of the US, or sending those who are already here, back to the Middle East, thus the "abolishment".
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I too, would prefer to keep the Church and State separate. But how true does that hold for you if the Church advocates or lobbies for something you are in favor of, like banning same-sex marriage?
I agree, Sharia Law should be kept out of our laws. The reason? Sharia Law does not separate Church from State.
I would also agree about not allowing religious groups to infringe upon other's rights/beliefs. But again, this begs the question of whether you are for the same treatment with Christians, because their influence on this country is vast, overreaching, and penetrates every facet of our lives.
I would venture to guess that most Muslims living in our country, who have lived here for any significant amount of time, have accepted our Free Speech dogma. In turn, they utilize Free Speech as well. There is also a fine line about how far one should go in exercising their right to Free Speech when they use it as a means to spread hate, vile, and spread a poisoning ideology. There is such a thing as tact in accordance with being civil.
