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 ones 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 Islams 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.
“If the Government bans one religion,”....
It already has.
This is not the govt bannimg a religon. It is us banning someone that has vowed to kill us all. Wake up, thimk!
Thimk?

The problem isn’t Islam, the problem is Liberals.
Without Liberals, Islam wouldn’t even have a noticable presence in our country.
If we are daydreaming Constitutional Amendments, it would be more ‘practical’ to outlaw the practice of Liberalism.
Paging Scientology.
But... but.... all Muslims are bad and we should torch their places of worship, take their property and maybe just maybe lock them up in camps. /sarc
Thinking isn’t what this thread is about. Nice catch.
That’s already taken care of. In this country at least, the display of the grenade would have been illegal. I’m far more comfortable outlawing threatening displays (read action) than I am with outlawing a religion (read thought).
Yep. We sure don’t want government approved stamps for religions. It won’t go down like the trigger happy here think it will.
We routinely dispensed with the constitution when dealing with the native Americans. That’s to our eternal shame. Nothing I’d bring up to bolster an argument either way.
I'm against it. My position on immigration is that we have enough trouble with our continental neighbors who do have legitimate reasons to believe they belong here, to allow immigration from overseas period. Not a popular sentiment on FR, but one I believe in.
It's also rarely stated on FR, but Mexico and the USA share a common destiny. Mexico rises and falls with the fortunes of the USA. Mexico's national security hinges on the military might of the USA. These things are inexorably linked, and cannot be unlinked.
I’m not going to argue over whether or not Irish terrorists are/were Christians but they’ve always been identified as either Catholic or Protestant, so go from there.
I’m just glad we don’t let people like yourself rewrite the constitution based on your whims. Whew!
not to mention you’re hispanic yourself to be candid right?
we often act in concert with our identity right or wrong...
i’m in favor of immigration we can assimilate, contributes and is legal...
Precisely.
I'm almost entirely of Scottish and Irish ancestry with barely a tad of Cherokee. I'm in no way Hispanic. Or as my wife says, "If you want proof he's a white boy, ask him to dance."
While I share your reservations regardinglaws forbidding thought, history seems to make unambiguously clear that Islam is a threatening reality, not merely a “display”.
sorry...for some reason I think you were Mexican American
If it’s any consolation, a lot of Mexican Americans seem to think I’m Hispanic as well. It’s a daily occurrence for someone to walk up to me and expect me to speak Spanish. Unfortunately, I don’t speak a word.
Dern tootin' Hindus, Scientologists, Sikhs, Mormons, Jews, Catholics, Budhists, Adventists.
Anyone who doesn't use the King James Bible, all the King James Bible, and nothing more than the King James Bible,
I have a friend here who is like 9th generation Mexican American from since before California was a state, his family were ranchers....Mexicans here always walk up thinking he can speak Spanish...lol...I speak more than he does.
Do it!
