Actually, Islam should be treated as an alien and enemy political philosophy - not a religion.
You CAN be an American and practise Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Wiccan, nothing or whatever, and still be a patritoic American. There is no political imperative in any religion.
ISLAM is different. Islam separates the world between the area controlled by Muslims and the area controlled by non-Muslims, it considers that a state of war exists between them, it enjoins its followers to impose Islam on the rest of the world by any means neccessary, and - most significantly, requires that a theocratic dictatorship, based on Islamic scripture, and known as Sharia, be imposed on Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Islam is more of a threat to the west than Communism or Fascism ever was. Islam IS Fascism - wrapped up in a Theocratic Cape.
Dar al Islam or Dar al Hab. One cannot be in neither or both.
Amen!
To other FReepers:
Islam will be at war with the non-Islamic world until the whole world follows Sharia law.Watch this: "Three Things About Islam." 8:10 long. Very educational.
For a full understanding of how Sharia is affecting the US, download (177 pages) and read this: "Shariah, The Threat To America, An Exercise in Competitive Analysis".
These educational tools will change your thought processes about Muslims forever.
Amen! Islam is pure evil.
