Okay smarty-feathers, I did read the article. :-)
Problem is that its based on a false premise. You can't have freedom of religion AND make one particular religion 'illegal'.... no matter how abhorrent or whacked-out someone else believes that religion to be.
All you can do is expel them based on the fact they're a citizen from a country that embraces it.
The problem is that U.S. prisons are creating thousands of converts from America. Where can they be sent?
You must define islam as a political ideology - not a religion. And, yes, it should be banned the way Nazism is banned in Germany.
“You can’t have freedom of religion AND make one particular religion ‘illegal’.... no matter how abhorrent or whacked-out someone else believes that religion to be.”
ORLY? ? ? ?
Let us assume some queer decides to start “The Church Of The Holy ButtBoy” with ceremonies best left undescribed on this forum.
As long as they sincerely believe that sex with young boys is what their “god” commands, would you agree that their religion is legal?
What of a religion that believes that their faith requires sacrificing virgins?
Above and beyond the above mentioned flaw in the opening quote from MamaTexan, there is the fact that Islam is a cult, a war cult.
A cult exercises complete control of its members, thus removing free will and responsibility - both essential parts of being a citizen instead of a subject or cult member.
Islam, for example, defines how one cleans oneself after defecation. Islam commands one wipe ones self with three, five, or seven smooth round stones, but Never, Ever, use two, four or six smooth round stones.
Howzat for control? Enough to recognize Islam as a cult?
So, where does that put us re the followers of Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan et alii? Muslim is Muslim, even the home-grown variety.
Islam is not a religion; Islam is a Satanic death cult!
The author makes it VERY clear in the first sentence of his second paragraph:
“It is no secret that the Islamic texts, the Quran and the hadiths, are the main source of Islamic terror and crime: Islam teaches Muslims to hate, attack and kill non-Muslims, and it uses the same psychological tools to remove psychological hindrances to violence, as in all other kinds of warfare, by devaluing and demonizing the enemy.”
What other evidence do we need?
MamaTexan, as you know, I have a lot of respect for your knowledge of Constitutional history. Actually, I think there is a way one can exclude Islam from the social contract, because Islam excludes itself. Consider this argument I've been making for about the last five years:
It is not a religion. It is a methodology used for subversion and conquest.
