Islam made me a better citizen and patriot. The Prophet Muhammad's teachings strengthened my belief in freedom and democracy. Independence Day once meant nothing more to me than an excuse to party. Prior to my acceptance of Islam, my personal behavior demonstrated all too well why July 4th ranks as the holiday most associated with alcohol-related deaths. When I first read the Quran, Islam's revealed text, and the traditions (hadith) of the Prophet Muhammad I expected to find something totally alien to American ideals. Instead I found many of the same democratic principles that emerged from the Continental Congress in that summer of 1776.
Democracy - The Quran promises rewards for those "who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation." (Quran, 42:38)
Political Activism - The Prophet Muhammad said, "The best jihad in the path of God is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler" (Sunan of Abu-Dawood)

Could Very well be.
we got invited to go to the beach but am staying home and walking up a hill to drink wine and watch an unobstructed view of the fireworks show our town puts on.
I also have no desire to drive 1.5 hours in Traffic and dodging drunks on freeways.
Odd. I am doing the exact same thing here in
Texas. Only I live on the hill. Chardonnay white is my poison.
Islam is, as Islam does..

Nice try.
This is total BS and absolutely a distortion of Islamic fundamentals, as evidenced by the complete lack of freedom, democracy, and justice in the Islamic countries in the world!!!
Here's a few excerpts from your religion of peace, scumbag:
Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”
Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”
Who are the dudes in the white sheets, the KKK? That should appeal to tha bruthas.
This is the first article in FR that's made me laugh out loud.
CNS NEWS.com: "ISLAMIC GROUP CALLS FOR USE OF KORAN TO TAKE OATH" by Melanie Hunter (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group is calling on North Carolina judges to allow people to use the Koran when taking an oath, saying the use of the Bible exclusively represents "an inappropriate state endorsement of religion." The request by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) comes after Guilford County judges said they would not allow use of Korans in their courtrooms.") (June 21, 2005)
CNS NEWS.com: "FREE KORANS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" by Susan Jones (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Over the weekend, CAIR held a conference in the Washington area on the causes and remedies of "Islamophobia and anti-Americanism."") (May 17, 2005)
When did the KKK join up with the Muslims?
They are kindred spirits.
