President Barack Obama stated in Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009: When the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the Holy Quran.
The dilemma is: How can one swear to defend something upon a book that promotes the opposite?
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion, yet the Quran states in Sura 4:89, Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take hold of them and kill them wherever you find them.

While I was in the Gulf I heard this on a regular basis from devout Moslems, it is not a unique view, especially over there. Many, perhaps most, devout Moslems believe their faith is not compatible with a democracy or a republican form of government.
Hence the continuing tribal push back.
Islam is more than a religion. It is a religion and a theocratic government. Regardless of the nature of Islam’s religious nature, it’s nature as a government is a self-declared and mortal enemy of any and all non-Islamic and non-theocratic forms of government which are not Islamic under Sharia Law.
Islamic culture is simply incompatible with the values, institutions and practices of Western modernity. That is why it is crumbling into chaos, barbarity and violence.
Notice how the _resident always refers to the Koran as the Holy Koran, but never does so when he mentions the bible?
Sorry, The Bible. Missed the shift key.

Interesting timing considering the influx of Middle Eastern refugees...
“Obama: New US Citizens Can Skip the Part of Oath That Includes Defending Country”
Barack Obamas US Citizenship and Immigration Services on Tuesday announced they will no longer require new citizens to pledge to bear arms on behalf of the United States.
It doesnt fit with Obamas vision of America...
No surprise that the majority of Americans don’t know this. There needs to be a media blitz about it. Ad campaign by the Tea Party?
The Koran fully supports slavery.
Make the Democrats support slavery as an essential part of their tolerance.
Then the new alien intake will never be Constitutional citizens — just human warts and sores claiming the benefits of taxpayers.
The Koran recognizes no wall of separation between faith and state. It demands a state-supported religion.
Make the Democrats support state religion as an essential part of their tolerance
Well, what does the Malcolm X/Farrakhan variety calculate out to be insofar as defending this country as it has been and is?
Excellent point!
Islam is a package deal: religious AND political.
THAT is why Muslims aren’t fit for office here, while folks of other faiths are.
In Jesus’ time folks thought the Messiah was coming to overthrow their Roman oppressors. He told them No, obey laws of your government as long as they don’t contradict Gods law.
Here in this country, contrary to what obammy says, the founders based things on Gods law right from the start.
That’s why a Christian can serve here; not because I say so but because things are compatible.
I always miss the shift key when referring to islam or muslims.
islam is the operating system of tyranny and terrorism.
Yep....Islam is a form of government....aren’t some of the countries called “The ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of __________________”?
My gosh... Maybe this ship is starting to come about. Non-politician-for-life candidates like Trump and Carson enabling conversation that should have been happening more than a decade ago.
It’s about damned time. I’m glad the illegals are worried, and I hope our enemies are starting to realize their days of a sympathetic POTUS are coming to a close. I doubt a Trump or Cruz will be putting up with much of their crap.
Winston Churchill recognized this years ago:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LED OUT OF THE BUILDING THEN!
