"As an American but also as a Muslim"
You cannot be an American and also a muslim.
Why not? This is a free country. We are in conflict with the Islamofacists who want to destroy Israel and eventually the west. Most Muslims in this country don't fall into that category.
Tell that to our new Ambassador to the UN.
It is statements like that one that the rest of the world will hold up as evidence that FR is a little more than a gathering place for intolerant bigots.
Congratulations.
"You cannot be an American and also a muslim"
I have heard people say with complete seriousness that Christians should not be allowed to vote.
"You cannot be an American and also a muslim."
I suppose then, by your logic, that I can't be a Christian and an American? You knew you were going to get slammed for this didn't you?
Re your post #2, what absolute garbage. I repudiate it completely. Oh, and I suppose you consider yourself a good Christian. Baloney!
Spoken like a true "Right-Wing Extremist" a-hole. For your education, allow me to present the story of Islamic terrorist Shahawar Matin Siraj, sentenced a couple of weeks ago to 30 years in prison for plotting to blow up the subway station beneath Macy's Herald Square. Mr. Siraj was apprehended with the help of NYPD informant Osama el Dawoody, a patriotic American.
HE'S TAKING THE 'A' TRAIN TO JAIL
I honestly people should get banned for making pronouncements like that one you made. It would go a long way towards cleaning up FR's public image, which currently stinks.
Don't be ridiculous.
Of course you can! That's why our Constitution is so important. This country was founded on the premise that no matter who comes to this nation, that person is free to worship as he or she pleases, or not worship at all. That doesn't mean that anyone can break laws in the name of his or her religion, only that they can worship as they see fit.
My neighbor is a Muslim born Iranian who abandoned his faith, sent his kids to Catholic schools, works hard, is faithful to his wife and is as fine and upstanding American citizen as there can be.
That makes the Free Republic Hall of Fame list of most retarded statements ever.
Incorrect.
The document that gives the original poster the freedom to practice Islam in this country is the same document that protects your right to be an a-hole.
But apparently you can be an American and be a complete bigot.
>>You cannot be an American and also a muslim.<<
Well, technically you can. After all, we have Americans that claim to be Nazis. And they get the respect, or lack thereof, they deserve.
Just like "American" Muslims.
The problem is the belief system and even its members are its victims.

I am an American but also a Christian.
Or do you object to that also?
Too bad he's not a smoker.
You cannot be an American and also a muslim.
