What kind of childish poppycock is this?
Dude---Catholics and Jews are not at war with whites, Catholics, Jews and protestants and have not sworn allegiance to a creed to kill them, nor flown airplanes into buildings containing them.
The Ask The Imam and Islam Q&A sites tell the muslim followers of Islam that they are not to fight against muslims or Islamic nations. Did anyone tell American Christians (or more specifically, Catholics) that they couldn't shoot facist Italians, Germans, etc in WWII because they shared a common religion?
Here is one such question from Ask The Imam regarding the "loyalty oath" one takes when becoming a US citizen:
Is it allowed to obtain United States Citizenship so that travelling for deen becomes easier?They require you to promise to bear arms for the country. The oath of allegiance is as follows:
The Oath of Allegiance I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
If they require or ask you to bear arms against a muslim country, what should be the response. Their laws are against 4 marraige law of Islaam. Does the pledge cause any "Ilhaad" or any such anti-islamic view? Please answer according to Hanafi Fiqh.
Answer:
1. If your intention is solely to facilitate easier travel, you are permitted to obtain US citizenship. Although the oath of allegiance is un-Islamic in nature, it will not be treated as an 'Islamic oath'. Therefore, you are not compelled to execute the oath. [ the oath is just words, say them but don't uphold them... ]
2. If you are called up to bear arms against Muslims, you are not permitted to do so by Islamic law. [ can you find this type of statement made by leaders of other religions? ]
3. The pledge does not constitute Ilhaad.

wrong analysis. Islam has declared the intent to wipe out all other cultures and peoples. Catholicism has now rejected that course in the last 300 years, after centuries of assuming that was it's mission. Judaism has only ever asked to be left alone, not looking to convert or "save" anyone else. They've got their deal and they want to keep it that way.
the better analogy is to ask would it be OK to exclude NAZIs from service during WW2, or Communists during the cold war?
