This is from a Muslim website. The website explains Islam and answers questions for Muslims and potential new Muslims about their religion.

Unlike Christianity, Islam is a religion and a political system. Shari'ah law is the Islamic law which replaces and supercedes the US law and the US Constitution.

Faithful Muslims must be faithful to Shari'ah and seek implentation of Shari'ah over people of all faiths.

Ask the Imam Online Q & A with Mufti Ebrahim Desai

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Ask-Imam.com > Islamic Politics > Question 8471 from United States 



To become a citizen of US one has to take an oath of allegiance. is it ok to take the oath.

The oath of allegiance is as follows: I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. They also ask on the citizenship form the following questions: If the law requires it, are you willing to bear arms on behalf of US? If the law requires it, are you willing to perform noncombatant service in the US Armed Forces? If the law requires it, are you willing to perform work of national importance under civilian direction? My question is can we answer yes to these questions? is there anything wrong in doing that. what should the answer be: yes or no? could you please kindly give an urgent answer. jazakallah.

Answer 8471

As Muslims, we are duty bound to follow our lives strictly according to Shari’ah. Whatever Shari’ah allows us to do, we will abide by that and whatever Shari’ah has restricted us from, we will refrain from it. Hence, we are not allowed to obey anybody if it is resulting in the disobedience of the Creator, Allah. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘There is no obedience for the creation by disobeying the Creator.’ (Mirqaat vol.7 pg.217; Imdadiyyah).

Hence, keeping this in mind if one is forced to sign the above in order to become a citizen or the only way of attaining citizenship is by acknowledging the above, then one may sign it with the intention that Shari’ah and Deen will always be his yardstick and that he will never sacrifice any of the teachings of Deen.

An oath required of Jews in Frankfort on the Main, about 1392.

It is easily adopted by bigots today to fit this new religious group accused of being all liars "Al-Taqiyah" .

Replace Muslim for Jew, blame for 9/11 for blame for the cruxifiction...a couple other changes- how much easier could it be?

The middle ages were a high time for religious bigotry. Nothing's really changed but the names.


"The Jew shall stand on a sow's skin and the five books of Master Moses shall lie before him, and his right hand up to the wrist shall lie on the book and he shall repeat after him who administers the oath of the Jews:

Regarding such property of which the man accuses you, you know nothing of it nor do you have it. You never had it in your possession, you do not have it in any of your chests, you have not buried it in the earth, nor locked it with locks, so help you God who created heaven and earth, valley and hill, woods, trees, and grass, and so help you the law which God himself created and wrote with His own hand and gave Moses on Sinai's mount. And so help you the five books of Moses that you may nevermore enjoy a bite without soiling yourself all over as did the King of Babylon.

And may that sulphur and pitch flow down upon your neck that flowed over Sodom and Gomorrah, and the same pitch that flowed over Babylon flow over you, but two hundred times more, and may the earth envelope and swallow you up as it did Dathan and Abiram. And may your dust never join other dust, and your earth never join other earth in the bosom of Master Abraham if what you say is not true and right. [This refers either to a decent burial or to resurrection.] And so help you Adonai you have sworn the truth.

If not, may you become as leprous as Naaman and Gehazi, and may the calamity strike you that the Israelite people escaped as they journeyed forth from Egypt's land. And may a bleeding and a flowing come forth from you and never cease, as your people wished upon themselves when they condemned God, Jesus Christ, among themselves, and tortured Him and said [Matthew 27:25]: "His blood be upon us and our children." It is true, so help you God who appeared to Moses in a burning bush which yet remained unconsumed. It is true by the oath that you have sworn, by the soul which you bring on the Day of Judgment before the Court, [before the God of] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is true, so help you God and the oath you have sworn [Amen]."

NO religion accepts that the law of the land is above God's law. If you asked any theologian if it's OK to listen to the government and violate the 10 commandments, every one of them would say no.

I agree with you here, the muslim is not signing a lie in taking the oath of alligence, and there may be nothing that comes up where there is a question of duty to G-d or duty to country. When and if a contradiction occurs then it will be time to decide. If the issue is to perform an act of treason, while believing this is alligence to Allah, then this will create the conflict between the oath and the act of treason. A traitor will choose one way, and a man true to his beliefs will follow his oath. You will never get the traitor to confess in advance, and the non-traitor will have no problem with the oath.

I heard that the Dead Sea scrolls have some interesting things in store for our Islaminazi friends, including a heretofor undiscovered document from the time of Mohammed.

This answers the question about the legality of naturalized US citizens from Iraq voting absentee in the up coming election in Iraq.

How so?

"Please withhold racist comments."

Does not apply. Mooslims aren't a race. Its a religion. More properly you should caution to avoid bigoted comments.

What the hell has race got to do with it?

Nothing. The admin moderator deleted the previous thread claiming there were too many racist comments.

Allah and his messenger announce that it is acceptable to go back on our promises (treaties) and obligations with Pagans and make war on them whenever we find ourselves strong enough to do so (Koran 9:3) Seems like he is staying true to the holy book.

Sharia is evil.

Only when it runs a country. Otherwise, I don't care.

Muslims here can follow Sharia to their hearts content as long as they obey US law and don't try to overthrow the government.

Once they attempt that, line 'em for the execution.

Which makes one wonder WHY these liars are allowed into our military when their oath of allegiance is not applicable. Then we wonder why they turn on their fellow soldiers and kill them in their tents. If I had been the parents of those killed, I would have screamed bloody murder at this insane policy.

You are wrong. Sharia is inherently wrong, as slavery is wrong (which sharia allows). It can not be allowed to exist.

"So do you think ALL muslims should be removed from the US?"
Regretably, yes I do. Mainly because I refuse to be a dhimmi. See http://www.dhimmitude.org/. Doubtless not all muslims would be "bad masters," but masters they intend to be - one way or another. We tolerate them, but in a majority situation they would not tolerate us.

They already lie regarding their oath. Lying for Allah, rule one in Islam. There should be zero tolerance for Islamic immigration.

When they get anywhere near a majority they will use force. Take a look at the middle east and how islam spread there. It USED to be Christian (the ME). It is just not possible to trust them.

No one is "forcing" any muslim to become a citizen, so it would seem to nullify the advice.

That's not what he said. Read the oath. Then read the imam's comments on Sharia.

"Whatever Shari’ah allows us to do, we will abide by that and whatever Shari’ah has restricted us from," says the imam.

But Sharia does not permit secular law. Thus one cannot both abide by Sharia and uphold the Constitution of the United States - they are in existential conflict with one another.

What is clear to the imam, the Muslim asking the question, and to me - but not to you - is that the imam is advising the questioner to follow the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya, or dissimulation, the essence of which is to lie to infidels to gain advantage over them.

You need to understand a) what Sharia is; b) what the end goal of Islam is; and c) the doctrine of taqiyya.

What you are putting forth is perfectly reasonable, in ignorance of what these things mean. However, it is very wrong to the point of being suicidal. When you understand the implications of the above, you will realize that to give any quarter whatsoever to Islam is to send more of our own countrymen to their deaths.

I strongly encourage you to educate yourself about Islam - but remember, when you read statements aimed at a non-Muslim audience, they are practicing taqiyyah.

Also I should be negligent if I did not direct you to this excellent resource, Jihad Watch.

And where do you see the Imam tell the guy to do that?

I could find passages in the bible that say wage war on the enemy and kill them. I can recall a story where the Jews had the gentiles circumcise themselves, then killed them while they were incapacitated. Would you say that Christians and Jews rush out to do that today?

An islamofascist wacko will do everything the Quoran tells them to do. A regular muslim will do the DECENT thing because that is what God would really want them to do.
