I ask my fellow freepers indulgence for this vanity, because I believe it is too important to be buried in the back of the forum.
Can a good Muslim be a good American? I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his reply:
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation...perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish...it's still the truth. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The war is bigger than most Americans know or understand.
Hey, I got it. Surely then highball should have been able to do the same. I smell an agenda that is decidedly on the far far left. Besides wanting to twist the words of everyone not on his/her wavelength.
PS. another of like mind posting just below.
The great American Melting pot isn't capable of absorbing radically different elements. You can't mix Sharia into the melting point without breaking the cauldron.
And that's exactly how they want you to think.
You of infinite patience. Surprised it took so long.
I have moved on, but I really appreciate your post.

"f there is a major attack on an American target with casualties in the tens or hundreds of thousands by Islamofacists with a nuclear device, Americans, who are probably the most tolerant people on the face of the earth, are going to change."
Without a doubt. There's also the spectre of Constitutional rights being suspended under martial law, if the attack is severe enough. We're going to have to pay the piper, sooner or later. Sad.
I think it's psychotic to think a Muslim can't be a good American. A lot of people on here exhibit the same irrational hatred as Muslims who are bigoted.
Absolutely, Anything that separates and floats to the top should be scraped off and tossed out before it spoils the whole pot. But really out of millions of Muslims in the U.S. how many have actually committed acts of terror? Most know enough not to Sh*t in the bed they sleep in.
Yes, I had forgotten about that book. I'll have to read it next. Thanks for the reminder.
It seems there is always a book. Mein Kampff, The Communist Manifesto, and now this. One can understand what drives them by reading their books.
Amen!
Actually, technically, His name is in the Constitution, where it says "in the year of our Lord".
Of course, that doesn't mean Madison or Morris were inspired by God to write the Constitution (which is not the same thing as being inspired by the Bible) although they may have been, although it does show that our Founders were not radical secularists of many in the French Revolution "C.E." sort. But influence doesn't have to be as direct as it is in the Declaration to have been significant.
Morris, who authored most of the Constitution, wrote that
There must be religion. When that ligament is torn, society is disjointed and its members perish. The nation is exposed to foreign violence and domestic convulsion. Vicious rulers, chosen by vicious people, turn back the current of corruption to its source. Placed in a situation where they can exercise authority for their own emolument, they betray their trust. They take bribes. They sell statutes and decrees. They sell honor and office. They sell their conscience. They sell their country. . . . But the most important of all lessons is the denunciation of ruin to every state that rejects the precepts of religion.
>>Can you imagine Louis Farakhan's reaction?
Isn't he a muslim? Who cares what he says from Africa.
"No reparations without repatriation!"
Sounds like "divine guidance" to me.
