PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AGAINST ISLAM

A Proposed Constitutional Amendment

(Note the need for this Amendment at the end)

Background and justification to Amendment 28 (self-defense/survival measure)

Whereas; Religion is defined as an institution dedicated to improving social conscience and promoting individual and societal spiritual growth in a way that is harmless to others not participating in or practicing the same;

Whereas; the United States of America was founded on the ideals of individual rights, including the individual right to practice one’s religion of choice, or no religion, and that there would be no compulsion of religion, nor state sanctioned religion, nor a 'religious test' for participation in the body politic;

Whereas; Islam includes a complete political and social structure, encompassed by its religious law, Sharia, that supercedes any civil law and that Islam mandates that no secular or democratic institutions are to be superior to Islamic law;

Whereas; Islam preaches that it and it alone is the true religion and that Islam will dominate the world and supplant all other religions and democratic institutions;

Whereas; Saudi Arabia , the spiritual home of Islam does not permit the practice of any other religion on its soil and even 'moderate' Muslims states such as Turkey and Malaysia actively suppress other religions;

Whereas; Islam includes as its basic tenant the spread of the faith by any and all means necessary, including violent conquest of non-believers, and demands of its followers that they implement violent jihad (holy war) against those un-willing to convert or submit to Islam, including by deception and subversion of existing institutions;

Whereas; on 9/11/2001 19 Muslim hijackers acting in the name of Islam killed 3,000 Americans, and numerous other acts of terrorism have been directed at the American people around the world;

Whereas; representatives of Islam around the world including Osama Bin Laden (architect of 9/11), the government of Iran including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, HAMAS, Hezbollah, and other Islamic groups have declared jihad (war) on America, and regularly declare that America should cease to exist;

Whereas; there is no organized Islamic opposition to violent proponents of Islam;

Therefore: Islam is not a religion, but a political ideology more akin to Fascism and totally in opposition to the ideals of freedom as described in the United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights.

Be it resolved that the following Amendment to the Constitution be adopted:

Article I

The social/political/ideological system known around the world as Islam is not recognized in the United States as a religion. The practice of Islam is therefore not protected under the 1st Amendment as to freedom of religion and speech.

Article II

As representatives of Islam around the world have declared war, and committed acts of war, against the United States and its democratic allies around the world, Islam is hereby declared an enemy of the United States and its practice within the United States is now prohibited.

Article III

Immediately upon passage of this Amendment all Mosques, schools and Muslim places of worship and religious training are to be closed, converted to other uses, or destroyed. Proceeds from sales of such properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate agency as determined by Congress.

No compensation is to be offered by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said structures if other disposition cannot be made.

The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high school academic environment provided that instruction include discussion of Islam’s history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing war on democratic and other non-Islamic values.

The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination, destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as proscribed by Congress.

Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or the material support of those both in the United States and around the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be punishable by death. Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United States .

Article IV

Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim. The individual right of conscience is sacrosanct and the practice of Islam within the privacy of home and self is strictly protected to the extent that such individuals do not violate the prohibitions described in Article III.

"What makes you think the Government will stop at banning Islam????"

Because there is no reason to ban Christianity, plus it's constitutionaly protected while Islam is not.

One would hope, that if the time came when the government DID have the guts to purge Islamic evil from this land, it would be because ther were enough Christian minded people elected to government.

But no worries, as I said, This country is going to go down because of it's ignorance, just like the roman empire did, just like (what is now Greece) fell to Islam.

Time for a history lesson. Binding it solely to Christianity by placing Christ's name in it was rejected by most of the founders because, as Jefferson stated very clearly, it was intended to protect "Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."

There are approx 10 million Muslim in America. Some say 7 million.

That’s more than 1%.

We need one that also addresses the Farrakans and the Wrights of this nation. They are using their so called religions as tax shelters and this has to stop”

Don’t forget the idiots in Kansas who call themselves a church and all they do is protest at military funerals.

That is a quote and history. Linking the Christian faith to the Constitution was voted on by the founders and rejected because, as Jefferson stated, it was to protect all religion.

Anyway, legislating away religion is the antithesis of Christianity. As Christians, the core of our acceptance of our religion is our freedom to choose it. If we start legislating away other religions, we are removing the freedom to choose religion, and thus, it wouldn't be a real Christian nation, it would be a nation with the facade of Christianity based on no faith but on the necessity to put on airs as a legislative necessity.

An assumption? No it’s quite clear:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

I don’t see Christianity mentioned there.

Imagine what Reagan would say with all of these 'Conservatives' basically wanting someone to say:

All we need to do is ban Islam, I'm from the government and I'm here to help..

You miss the point of the chart. It is percentage of "Religious Preference"

According to their data only 1% in America prefer to name Islam as their religion.

I would assume there are more than 3 million Muslims in America, but only 1% feel strong enough about their faith to consider themselves Muslim.

So if they are apostate Muslims I seriouly doubt they are about the strap on suicide belts.

"You'll see soon enough. It's only a matter of time before they feel powerful enough to force some major concessions from an appeasing government." This has already happened all over Europe. Due to the threat of rioting and mass violence many European countries are bending over backwards kissing muslim butt to try and keep the peace. This is a loosing proposition because the muslims view this as weakness and it indicates to them that they are on the right path.
Islam only respects one thing. History has demonstrated time after time that islam only respects and responds to superior force and a demonstrated willingness to use that force.
We have only two choices. We can submit to islam or at some point we will have to stand up to this invasion and use force to stop it's progress. They have given us no other real choices. Remember that they are allowed and encouraged to enter into any false agreement or tell any lie to expand their control over the world. Do not believe the moderate muslim fantasy. It is their biggest lie meant to lull us into submitting to their satanistic cult.

So you claim I have an absolute freedom and right to start a group that calls itself a religion and that includes in its worship services calls to enslave your children, rape your wife and steal your property? And then murder you, for having a wife who was raped?

No. We cannot allow our sworn enemies free reign. If allowing absolute freedom to any movement that includes a self-proclaimed religious component is more important than the survival of our liberty, our nation, our culture and our own religious freedom, then we will have none of that.

Movements, in whatever guise, that advocate our destruction and enslavement, are our mortal enemy, by their own words and deeds. Either they will obtain victory over us, or we will over them. By their choice, there is no middle ground.

Thankfully, this whole idea is just about as unlikely as the proverbial pig flying.

The hyperventilating hysterics demanding we outlaw this religion or that religion out of fear of it's adherents are a very vocal but insignificant minority.

We can't even get 2/3rds of the states together to outlaw the slaughter of the unborn, getting them together to take scissors to the constitution won't be any easier. And in the end that is exactly what they are demanding, one undesirable practice at a time.

Should this boneheaded Amendment pass, we’d cease being American at that very moment.

Okay, so what is the answer to Islamofascism?

My biggest fear about this whole war with Islam is that they will attack us so dramatically that the resulting outcry from surviving American citizens will force the government to do something like this amendment, or something even worse. The US of A may well not be recognizable in the 10-15 years.

We may not have a choice, if the country is to survive.

Those acts are already banned by law and the Constitution, thus, there would be no need to make a Constitutional amemndment banning your 'belief', your practice of the belief is already limited as it infringes on the rights of others. The 'faith' or religious aspect would never need be touched to limit the danger of the religion you describe. (if existing laws are upheld.)

These things are also outlawed in all the European countries who are now bending over backwards to the islamic influence and threat of violence.
You can not have it both ways. It is happening right now in democracies all over the world. Tell me what will keep it from happening here?
