Is Islam irreconcilably anti-American?

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,

How could anyone even question that.

Islam is an evil Theocracy

Shortly after its founding, Islam's prophet Muhammad became a ruler of a state,[4] and the intertwining of religion and state in Islam (and the idea that "politics is central" to Islam),[5] is in contrast to the doctrine of rendering "unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God",[5] of Christianity, its related and neighboring religion.[5][6]

Every radical Muslim in the USA is a likely insurrectionist bent to overthrow our Free Republic.

Bushidō in Japan

...Military nationalism in Japan was often known as Bushidō (武士道 "the way of the warrior"). The word, denoting a coherent code of beliefs and doctrines about the proper path of the samurai, or what is called generically 'warrior thought' (武家思想, buke shisō), is rarely encountered in Japanese texts before the Meiji era, when the 11 volumes of the Hagakure of Yamamoto Tsunetomo, compiled in the years from 1710 to 1716 where the character combination is employed, was finally published.

Bushidō and the State Shinto faith was minimized or written out of the 1947 Constitution. Islam across the world needs the same kind of reformation sooner than later.

If it takes green glass on the sand dunes, so be it.

America was an afterthought until WE built bases in Saudi Arabia, supported Iraqs war on Iran, overthrew Libya, started growing poppies in Afghanistan, forced Afghanis to have women in seats of power.

The US is a “Satan” because we are the Great interfering power. We do it all for Britain and Israel.... Who runs the City of London and Jerusalem? Yep..... the self same rulers of the Universe ROTHSCHILDS. We are their pawn, or I should say, our Leaders are their pawns.
