Like all forbidden questions, it must be asked. For if Islam is irreconcilably anti-American, we had better be prepared to act before, not after, its ascendancy in American politics places it in a position of unconstitutional political power.
Our nation was founded on the principle of liberty. Prominent among our freedoms is that of religion. The Founders were religiously diverse, but not so diverse as to include, among themselves, religions outside the Jewish and Christian traditions.
Hindu-Buddhist writings had no influence on the authors of the Federalist Papers. More than that, today’s exotic interpretations of religious freedom were not written into the founding documents. Yoga, Wicca, and even native American (Indians) traditions contributed nothing substantial. Most importantly, anti-Christian philosophies such as vehement atheism were anathema. No doubt, the very suggestion of Satanism would have been abhorred had it been raised.
It is one thing to permit false religions, but it is a very different thing to allow them to infect the culture and our political structures. Even though Satanism is permitted, no practice of human sacrifice, no matter how sincerely held as a religious belief, is permitted. Even polygamy as a religious doctrine is forbidden, and the territory of Utah was not admitted as a state until its Mormon inhabitants relinquished it.
There is no precedent for permitting any and all claimants to be licensed under the First Amendment. What about Islam?
Few Americans understand the central doctrines of the Muslim religion. Those doctrines include certain teachings that would be illegal to practice in the United States. Polygamy is one, and the tenets of sharia law introduce many more.
Beyond the official doctrines of Islam, however, there are cultural practices that are unambiguously un-American. An underreported practice involves arranged marriages, which, if a small child refuses to obey,

I guess if you’re paid to write a column every week and you’re out of ideas you ask captain obvious what he’d write. Actually the article might have improved a notch or two if the title had been something like “Islam Is Totally Incompatible With Western Civilization”
Kind of, it is.
But moreso, American values, our constitution and our very nation, itself, is anti-Islam. (Or, more accurately, “incompatible with Islam”)
Our sense of personal freedom and personal responsibility does not comport with Islam.
“Submit” is not at all what we do. Can Muslims thrive within the structures we, as a nation, revere?
Yes, absolutely.
But the firm focused belief in the sword as the way of conquest and to bring all infidels to submit to Islam?
There is a gaping chasm right there between our belief systems that is irreconcilable.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”
Simple. It’s the very antithesis of Islam. It might as well outlaw Islam by name.
Is that as real question? Remember friends...”The only difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs”. Once they go devout, look out.
See Post 46.
So we should amend the Constitution and ban Islam in the U.S.
Yes. Yes, it is.
All you need to know about the comparison between Christ and Mohamed, is Christ never killed any one, while Mohamed personally beheaded 400 Jewish captives.
Yes, but it doesn’t have to be if it would name Trump as Caliph. Problem solved.
It's a political system of conquest and domination, disguised as a religion.
One argument I use is taqiyya -- the command to lie for the cause of Islam. Only liars tell people to lie. Muslims aren't taqiyya-ing us. Muhammad taqiyya'd them.
Islam is anti-anything but Islam, well until there is noting left but Islam then they will be Anti-the other tribe.
Emphatically yes
Prior to the 1970s Islam was evolving into something sane and compatible with civilization. You can see the proof in that on the Internet of young women dressed in somewhat modest but definitely 1970s fashion going to university throughout the Islamic World exception being Saudi Arabia. There are pictures of this for Tehran and even Kabul. Then the Carter Administration allowed fundamentalist 12er Shia Islam a victory in Iran. Not to be outdone this invigorated fundamentalist Sunni Islam. It was all then encouraged even more by Western (and US!) cowardice. Cowardice that still displays itself in the UK, the US and other European countries. Cowardice due to an ignorant Marxist-sourced self-loathing because of past colonialism.
Gave us our navy as well😂
