“One Nation Under Allah”?

Recently, a student of Justice High School in Fairfax, Virginia led the graduation ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance. In this public school setting, when she got to the part about “one nation under God,” she said, instead, “one nation under Allah.” This was apparently without any permission from school officials.

The idea of “one nation under Allah” is a natural outgrowth of the idea of “multi-culturalism,” but is inconsistent with our history. It is true that in some Muslim-dominant nations, Christians there use the name “Allah” for God. But it’s also true that the Allah of the Qu’ran is different than the God of the Bible. Presumably the student used the opportunity to tweak the noses of those who believe in the Judeo-Christian tradition of America as “one nation under God.”

“One nation under God” allows the Muslim, the Buddhist, the atheist to practice what they wish.

“One nation under Allah” restricts freedom of those who disagree---even fellow Muslims of a slightly different stripe.

The idea of multi-culturalism may sound good to the naïve. While we can learn something from virtually every culture, to say that all cultures are the same is ignorant. They are not.

In places where the worship of Allah is compulsory, there is little room to disagree. Even many Muslims find restrictions under strict Islam troubling. There are many Iranians and Pakistanis and Afghanis lining up to try and live in America. But we don’t have a lot of Americans lining up to go live in Iran or Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Here’s what Rabbi Daniel Lapin once told me in a television interview for D. James Kennedy Ministries video, What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?, “The easiest way to answer the question of whether life on planet earth is better because Jesus walked Jerusalem or not is very simple, and that is: Just watch the way people vote with their feet. Watch where the net flow of immigration is in the world today. Is it from Christian countries to non-Christian countries or the other way around? It is so obvious.”

America shines like a beacon because America is “one nation under God.”

Although the secularist denies it and gnashes his teeth at the idea that the Christian God had anything to do with the founding of America, the evidence abounds in the actual documents of America’s settling and founding eras, e.g., as found in The Annals of America (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1976) or the Avalon Project (on-line) of Yale University.

In their own words:

•The Pilgrims came “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.” (Mayflower Compact, 1620).

•The Puritan founder of Boston, Rev. John Winthrop, said (quoting Jesus), “For we must consider that we shall be like a City upon a hill; the eyes of all people are on us.” (“A Model of Christian Charity,” 1630).

•The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (1639), which historians believed was a direct ancestor to the Constitution, notes that the purpose of their settlement was for “the liberty and purity of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.” This is why Connecticut is called “the Constitution state.”

And on it goes.

The Pilgrims, Puritans, and Quakers who founded British North America fled Mother England and other countries to get away from religious tyranny---in that case tyranny from professing Christians.

James Madison, a key architect of the Constitution, wrote the “Memorial and Remonstrance” (1785). In this document, he notes that as Christians we must have tolerance for those who have not yet been enlightened by the Gospel of Christ.

Said Madison, "Whilst we assert for ourselves a freedom to embrace, to profess, and to observe the religion which we believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny an equal freedom to those whose minds have not yet yielded to the evidence which has convinced us. If this freedom be abused, it is an offence against God, not against man: To God therefore, not to men, must an account of it be rendered.”

Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If non-believing Infidels are present, Sunni sect will unite with Shi’a sect to enslave (physical, sexual, monetary) all Infidels and annihilate the rest

If no Infidels present, Sunni sect will turn against Shi’a sect and annihilate each other until there is a ‘winner’

This has not changed in the 1200 years of ever-expanding Islamic conquest.

Allah had no son . . .

They seem to ignore that.

There is no god named Allah and Mohammed is his false prophet.

Hateful people, eh ?

[Bob434]

Satanically inspired people for sure. Satan is the father of hate, so naturally those that follow him. Either knowingly or unknowingly, will exude the same hateful characteristics as their father

"“One nation under God” allows the Muslim, the Buddhist, the atheist to practice what they wish."

Not because this is the god of any religion, but because the God of the Bible, under the new covenant, distinguishes btwn the civil and spiritual powers and their respective jurisdictions and means. In which the church deals with express theological beliefs and the heart and worship as well as moral actions, but works to bring souls to be controlled from within, by God and conscience, but cannot physically compel submission or punish dissent thereby, whereas the state mainly deals with moral actions, not express theological doctrine, and its power relies upon the sword of men not afforded to the church.

Yet in that the moral laws the state promulgates and enforces have a religious basis, reflecting the beliefs of the founders and or the populace who elect their interpreters, then religion and the state are inseparable, but is to be restricted to a very basic general affirmation of its religion and not require worship nor punish dissent from it, except as relates to moral actions. Thus the required assent to what is in essence a religion, broadly defined, of critical race theory, is contrary to both the general religious ethos of founders but to the degree of separation of church and state which the likes of the ACLU require btwn Christianity and the state.

But it’s also true that the Allah of the Qu’ran is different than the God of the Bible."

TrueMUHAMMAD VERSUS JESUS CHRIST

"“One nation under Allah” restricts freedom of those who disagree---even fellow Muslims of a slightly different stripe."

True: PACT OF UMAR (used by Islam in attempting to slowly strangle Christianity)

[Pollster1]

Allah is in the Bible.
Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness being tempted by Allah.

Mad Mo is dead. 6’ under for social distancing is appropriate. One can never be too sure about this radical virus.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

mohammad is held in a higher reverence than Christ, and Christ is 3 in 1 deity. By holding mohammad in higher reverence than Christ, they are saying he is greater than God, thus making Islam a Satanic religion.

[Vigilanteman]

But it’s also true that the Allah of the Qu’ran is different than the God of the Bible.

I don't know who first said it, but it is true. The God of Christianity sent his only begotten son to die for you. The Allah of Islam demands that your son die for him.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

In the Quran, Allah claims to be the greatest of deceivers.
Therefore Biblically, Allah is also known as Satan, the deceiver, the adversary, the accuser.
