Corporate America not only funds Islam (with the great help of the Saudis), but they also bow down to it as well.
"To take another example: In 1997, Nike recalled 38,000 pairs of sneakers after CAIR and other Muslim groups instigated an international Nike boycott; the word Air designed on the sneaks resembled Arabic script for Allah. Nike even cut a $50,000 check for the northern Virginia Dar-Al-Hijrah Islamic Center and made educational videos and CDs about Islam.
Allah is a false god.
Mohommed was nutcase.
It is the religion of insecure man-boys.
The First Amendment shall not be interpreted to protect blasphemous speech. States shall be free to enact anti-blasphemy laws as long as they prohibit offensive speech against all religions.
Now this opens an ugly can of worms. What constitutes blasphemy? Really?! Unitarians (and some others) might remember that John Calvin had Michael Servetus, founder of Unitarianism, burned at the stake in Geneva, in 1553, for his rejection of trinitarianism and some other doctrines near and dear to Calvin -- Servetus was convicted of "blasphemy", not heresy. Of course, in America, we've had a number of Unitarians in the White House (John & John Quincy Adams, William Howard Taft, et al), so maybe we wouldn't convict them of blasphemy here.
In England, blasphemy was a crime at common law, and Blackstone, in the early 18th century, defined it, rather vaguely, as abusing the basic tenets of Christianity - denying the divinity of Jesus, the existence of the trinity, the final judgment, etc.; abusing Christianity, but not Judaism nor, I suppose, Islam.
In American law the crime of blasphemy has very seldom been explained, but the few instances also seem to focus on abusing the doctrines peculiar to Christianity; in America nobody was ever punished for denouncing Mohammed as a fraud or Buddha as a false god.
Of course, for modern explications of blasphemy we could look to the Moslem countries, which still punishes people for it. In most of the Moslem world it is blasphemous to suggest that Mohammed is not the final and best of the prophets or that the Koran is not the revealed and inerrent word of the Diety .... it is also blasphemous to suggest that Christianity is better or even equal in validity to Islam; however, it is not considered blasphemous to denounce (as is done in govt-issued textbooks, such as those which the Saudi govt require be used even in private Christian schools) Christianity as a false religion and the New Testament as a fabrication. And I am feel confident that the backers of this proposed Amendment have that interpretation in mind.
Why are they promoting Islam???
It is easy to see how the fanatical American Moslems are using our laws to protect their evil intentions. I have never heard of any organized Moslem Americans who oppose the oppression of Moslem states to their minority Christians and Jews. Yet, they want to have us protect their rights as minorities. I say, if you would like to be respected as minority, first you should push your country of origin to do the same, and second do not attempt to convert the majority to your barbaric desert culture. You leave the barbaric desert life to join the civilized life in the West; either you like it, and become part of it, or stay back where you can beat your wife and consider her a slave!
"Mohommed was nutcase."
You are aware of course that the men and women in our Armed Forces making that statement could go up on court martial charges for not conforming to DoD "tolerance" regulations, are you not?
The Truth About Islam
Observations by Dr. David R. Reagan
Ever since the Attack on America on September 11, 2001, we have heard a never-ending chorus of voices from government, academia, and the media assuring us that the Islamic terrorists who attacked the Trade Towers and the Pentagon are not representative of true Islam. We have been likewise assured by spiritual leaders even some Christian spokesmen that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews.
Our war is not against Islam, we have been told repeatedly. Our war is against terrorism.
Central Questions
Well, what about it?
The Intolerant and Militant Nature of Islam
One of the most controversial issues regarding Islam concerns whether or not it is a militant religion. Muslims in the West argue it is peace-loving. Westerners who have experienced it in the Muslim world argue it is inherently intolerant and militant.
The Koran itself preaches intolerance toward other religions. Sura 5 contains the following command: Take not Jews and Christians for friends . . . He among you who takes them for friends is one of them . . . Choose not for friends such of those who received the Scripture before you [Jews and Christians] . . But keep your duty to Allah (verses 51, 55, 57). Extreme intolerance is commanded in Sura 5:33 [For those who do not submit to Allah] their punishment is . . . execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, from the opposite sides, or exile from the land.
The Koran also expresses an intolerant attitude toward any person who decides to reject the Islamic faith or convert to another religion. Such persons are to be executed (Sura 9:12). In the Hadith (the oral tradition of Muhammads sayings) it says Whoever changes his religion, kill him (Hadith 9:57). These commands are practiced in all Islamic Fundamentalist countries today.
With regard to militancy, the Koran not only condones it, it commands it:
Fighting is prescribed for you, and [some of] you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not (Sura 2:16).
Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war (Sura 9:5).
Fight in the way of Allah . . . and slay them [the unbelievers] wherever you find them and drive them out . . . and fight them until . . . religion is for Allah (Sura 2:190-193).
Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, The sword is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood in the cause of Allah a night spent in arms [war] is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer. Whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment, his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.12
The Imperialistic Nature of Islam
From its inception, Islam has been committed to what it calls jihad a word meaning holy war. The duty of Muslims is to subjugate or destroy infidels the term the Koran uses for all non-believers.
In the Muslim viewpoint, the world is divided into two regions those areas controlled by Islam, called Dar al-Islam (meaning the House of Islam) and those called Dar al-Harb (the House of War). The Koran commands Muslims to fight non-Muslims until they exterminate all other religions, leaving Islam as the one and only religion in the world (Suras 2:193 and 8:39). Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, I have been ordered to fight with the people until they say, none has the right to be worshiped but Allah (Hadith 4:196).
Regarding terror, Allah orders Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims on his behalf: Strike terror (into the hearts of ) the enemies of Allah and your enemies (Sura 8:60). Allah then assures his followers that he will assist them: I will instill terror into the hearts of unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not you who slay them, it is Allah (Sura 8:12, 17).
Concerning jihad,14 the Koran guarantees Paradise to those who fight for Allah (Sura 4:74). It promises instant Paradise for those who die in battle (Suras 9:111 and 47:5-6). Dying for Allah is presented as better than living: And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that others may amass [of worldly wealth] (Sura 3:157).
Martyrs are promised a sensual and luxurious life in Paradise (Sura 52:17-22). According to Al-Ghazzali, one of Islams greatest teachers, when a martyr reaches Paradise, he will marry 500 companions, 4,000 virgins, and 8,000 divorced women.15 Commenting on this statement, Randall Price, biblical teacher and Middle East expert, observed that the Islamic Paradise is just the kind of place that adolescent, unmarried men, isolated through their lives from the opposite sex by rigid cultural standards, would die for.16
Fundamentalist Goals
The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran was the modern day Islamic spokesman who revived Muhammads vision of world conquest. He taught that the re-establishment of Israel was a Satanic miracle allowed by Allah because of the lukewarmness of the Muslim masses. He called for a renewal of true Islam to accomplish three purposes:19
Notice the first priority was the transformation of secular Islamic countries into religious states ruled by the Koran. Then would come Israel and the world.
In a proclamation made by Osama bin Laden in 1998, he listed the same goals and prioritized them in the same order.20 He then identified the United States as the prime obstacle to the achievement of these goals. Accordingly, he called on Muslims everywhere to comply with Allahs order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.
It is important to note that the eradication of Israel is not the top priority. Nor is Israel viewed as the major obstacle to world conquest. I emphasize this because many Americans are saying that the key to winning the war against terrorism is to dump Israel. More and more, on radio talk shows, I hear people saying, Lets cut Israel loose. Let the Arabs have it. Then they will leave us alone.
That is utter nonsense. Israel is not the cause of Islamic terrorism toward the West. If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, Fundamentalist Islam would still be determined to destroy America as part of its plan to take the world for Allah. And if we were to abandon Israel, the Muslim world would interpret it as an act of cowardice, proving our word is meaningless and that we truly are, as they say, a depraved society devoid of values. Our abandonment of Israel would only whet their appetite. Islamic Fundamentalism cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.
