I don't see people ignoring it, we just don't believe it to be a suicide pact, nor do we see Islam as only a 'religion'. It should be banned for the fact that it is also a political machine dedicated to the replacement of the constitution with the Sharia. Just because something claims to be a religion, does not make it only a religion.
Words mean things, and the disagreement is whether Islam fits wholly within the meaning of the word 'religion' in the first amendment. It does not, IMO.
Sounds like are far more sane and sensible response than Islam's response to the cartoon.
The fact that Islam is as much a philosophy of governance as a religion is a crucial point that most of us in the West do not understand. Islam focuses as much on the temporal as on the spiritual and can not be viewed as only a belief system comparable to Christianity since the Reformation or to Judaism...the aggressive aspect of Islam will render it incompatible with the beliefs of others until it undergoes its own reformation.
Al Taqqia (The Lying) a møøslimb is allowed/required to lie to a nonbeliever if it will forward the goals of islam.
I disagree, as I have said before a strong augment can be made for islam being a threat to public safety and order.
There is no constitutional right to practice human sacrifice, and the same can be said for a cult that endorses murder of nonbelievers attacks and rapes of women going a Muslim area without burkas or veils ect,threatens riots when they don't get their way and demands total submission by the west to their fascist thinking, needs to be banned. Finding politicians and courts with the backbone to do so is another matter
Thank you. I agree. (BTW, The second part of my question relates to the US, and the Dar ul Harb in general.)
As sharia is a cornerstone of islam, we agree aspects of islam are already illegal and have to be restricted.
"Are you even in the USA?
"
Why, yes I am, thanks. So, tell me a single law in this country which did not pass through a lawmaking body. Our laws come about through the legislative process, as described in the US Constitution and the Constitutions of the various states.
In that picture, what exactly was created with islamic technology?
And so is cannibalism.
Thanks for responding....
Yes, you have many very good reasons for your feelings. And I'm very glad that you weren't one of the killed on 9/11.
Most of my experience has been here in this country, with individuals in work, hobby and social settings. And most of my experiences have been positive. In fact, a great deal of good has come into my life (and that of associates) via the ME, so yea, I do feel a tiny bit protective.
On the other hand, all of us, even those who are very 'pro' the people and some customs do see the Sharia law as the evil it is.
There is no doubt in my mind that I'm one of the first ones they would kill if they could. So I do agree is that change needs to happen. All I'm arguing against is emotion driven hate.
bttt
And which faction of Islam does not preach that conversion by force is allowed? Which factions do not preach the jihad towards the World-wide Caliphate is not a good thing?
"As sharia is a cornerstone of islam, we agree aspects of islam are already illegal and have to be restricted."
Insofar as Muslims break US laws, they should be prosecuted. We have no law here against some things, like the wearing of burkhas, so Muslim women may wear them if they wish. Most do not.
Tolerance under the Constitution should never extend to tolerating the expression of any belief, religious or otherwise, that has as its intention or effect the destruction of the Constitution.
Their 'religion' is worth less to them than an American Airlines plane is worth to the passengers?
"In that picture, what exactly was created with islamic technology?"
The same amount as was created with Christian technology. Technology is not really a religions thing.
NO!!!
So, tell me a single law in this country which did not pass through a lawmaking body.
Thou shalt not commit murder...Correct me if I'm wrong , I'm just a poor country boy.
