There is a young lady in Florida right now making national news. She is on the run from her family. Her Muslim family. She has converted to Christianity, and claims that her father will kill her if she goes home, in what is commonly known as an “honor killing” under Islam’s strict Sharia Law.
America is a nation of laws, we are guided by the Constitution. In our Constitution are a list of constraints upon our Federal Government which detail things the Government cannot do. Among these delineated constraints is the following:
“Congress shall pass no law regarding an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
As the ACLU will likely sue to convince you, if the Koran tells this aforementioned young lady’s father that he must kill any of his apostate children, our Government cannot tell him that he can’t. Neither can they prosecute him under the law, which finds its basis in the Constitution.
If the Koran tells its believers that they must not lie, unless it is to an infidel (anyone who is not yet Muslim), yet another issue is raised. When this Muslim goes on trial and swears to be truthful, he can lie with impunity to the Court because the Judge is not Muslim, and is therefore an infidel. Because this Muslim is just following the explicit tenets of his faith, he cannot even be prosecuted for perjury, much less murder.
You can see what a phenomenal can of worms, and what a hard-to-close opening of a Pandora’s Box we undertake when we start going all “liberal” in our application of being fair, and even-handed and understanding with a cave-man false religion like Islam. The unfortunate truth which nobody is yet willing to address is that, just as Muslims are the natural enemies of Jews and Christians, Islam is an irreconcilable opposite of our Judeo-Christian Laws, values, morals, indeed, our very way of life.
Despite the lies Barack Obama told the world on his official America Apologizes Tour of the Middle East, America was not only founded as a deeply Christian nation; it was founded as a deeply Christian nation for a multitude of excellent reasons, all of them having to do with how intrinsicly interwoven are the fibers of Christianity and The American Dream. One of our august Founding Fathers is quoted as having rightly said; “Our Constitution is intended only for a religious (Christian) and moral people; it is wholly unfit for any other. For if a man will not obey God’s Law, how can one expect him to obey another’s?”
Some countries (England, for example) have begun to allow Sharia Courts to take place on their soil in an attempt to appease the Islamic hordes washing onto their shores. It won’t be long before the headlines are awash with the lack of wisdom inherent in that idea. You cannot appease someone whose starting point in the discussion is “you dead.”
I know that this is the very height of politically incorrect speech, especially given that we now have a president who has famously said that “The most beautiful sound on earth is the beginning line of the Muslim evening prayer.”
Too bad. The time for such banal niceties is long past, as we are now in a war for the very heart and soul of our great nation, with our freedoms, our way of life, and The American Dream in the balance. Politically correct speech will have to wait for these hostilities to be resolved before we can again afford ourselves the luxury of such tortured liberal affectations.
America and Islam are incompatible, and the sooner we realize it, admit it, and start acting like it, the sooner we can be about the very serious business of saving our Republic from the fate of, and in the face of, a global enemy whose name is Islam.

Cultural Relativism will be our downfall if we don’t take a stand against it.
Easily remedied!
That girl will likely be sent home. By the way Yale University which recently decided against the cartoons in a book about the Islamic cartoon controversy has a Chaplain that condones “honor killings” for those who change religions.
Yale has gone full out Dhiummi and its likely that liberals in this country will too.
I agree.
The courts might very well senhd her home. Its not like we hold judges accountable for their decisions.
islam is like an infection
Truth and Grace. A lovely combination. :-)
At the family reunion in Michigan last month, my lib sister said, “We should have a muslim in the family.”
I replied, “Good. Let’s hook your daughter up with a fine young muslim boy.”
Silence, and mean looks.
Go figure.
You write:

Unfortunately, we have allowed those who deny the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation unlimited entry into this country. It is about time to severely restrict immigration only to qualified Jews and Christians otherwise we run the risk of being overrun by cultures defined by their barbaric creeds, rituals, and filthy customs. Indeed, it may just be too late!
You're probably right. And in that case the people of the church that is giving her shelter should defy the order and help her hide until she turns 18. An insane order from some nitwit libtard judge need not be heeded.
I can see a SWAT team breaking into the church if they have to, in order to send the girl to her death. I hope she is being moved from place to place to keep her location as secret as possible. We need an underground railroad to keep people from being killed by Muslims in our own country, imagine that!
Several falsehoods in your post. None about Islam, but several about how our system of government deals with religion when it runs contrary to the law. In fact, we deal with it quite well. Your religion may allow the marriage of children, however the laws of the state will trump your religion. Your religion may allow the use of peyote, but state law trumps religion and the use is illegal. Your religion may allow multiple wives but...you get where this is going.
What if someone had told you on 9/12/2001 that before the decade was out that Muslims would have gained a toehold to taking this country over? That we would nbeed to form an underground railroad in order to keep “honor killings” from being carried out with apparent court approvals?
I would have thought someone had gone insane if they had told me that.
Qualified Jews and Christians? I’ve love hear more about these qualifications.
WHY ISLAM AND AMERICA ARE TRULY INCOMPATIBLE
EASY.
America- Freedom and Liberty
Islam - Oppression and death
Not very compatible..............
And your solution is?
“Cultural Relativism will be our downfall if we don’t take a stand against it.”
It already has been.
It might be argued that Judeo/Christianity and America are truly incompatible:
1st Commandment:
You shall have no other gods before me.
1st Amenedment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
“Congress shall pass no law regarding an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
As the ACLU will likely sue to convince you, if the Koran tells this aforementioned young lady’s father that he must kill any of his apostate children, our Government cannot tell him that he can’t. Neither can they prosecute him under the law, which finds its basis in the Constitution.
There are dozens of not hundreds of laws that prohibit various “religious activity”
If the man murders his daughter in the US his religion is Not a defense against that crime.
