PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AGAINST ISLAM

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

You'd better wake up. They are teaching YOUR kid "Islamic studies" All over the USA.

Nope. I pay real money to send my kid to a real school, not a government indoctrination center, and I've taught her as much of the real history and beliefs of islam as I think she can understand given her age.

Mormons aren't Christians as far as I'm concerned. They read the book of Moroni, not the king James version. They have their own version which is blasphemous because it abrogates the word.

That's your opinion and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with it, but I also think it's somewhat irrelevant. Imagine you got a job in Utah, (maybe it's your dream job or maybe you're just desperate for work), and you had to send your children the public schools there. I don't you'd be happy if your kids came home and told you about the stories they'd heard from the Book of Mormon. But, in Utah, Mormons and the Book of Mormon are probably more mainstream than evangelicals are in rest of the US. I still wouldn't want my kid indoctrinated into the Mormon faith just because she attended public school in Utah.

At one time, there was no problem teaching the bible in school, because schools reflected the wishes of the communities they were in. If they wanted catholic teachings, they lived in a catholic community. Mormons lived in Utah.

Everyone in America ought to know the fundamental stories and precepts of the bible. It's part of our western heritage and you're not really culturally literate if you are not familiar with them, but there's a difference between teaching them about the beliefs, history and customs of a religion and indoctrinating students into a particular faith. The one is good for all people while the other is only good if you happen to be a believer. Now if your kids go to a private school, then religious instruction is fine, but in a public school there are kids of all faiths and they don't necessarily have any choice in the matter of what school they attend.

Ideally, I'd like to see the public school system replaced with a voucher system. I hate the idea that I have to pay several thousand dollars in property and sales taxes each year for public schools and then have to try to scrape up several thousand more in tuition because the public schools are so bad. For the price of the public schools in my area, (about $12,000/yr and all the high schools in my district are considered "dropout factories"), I could send my daughter to an elite prep school.
