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.
Yes I am. Simply because they are the needles in a hay stack. Also if you read some of the statistics most of the hay is bad hay as well.
Have you read some of the statistics out of the middle east? most Muslims do not believe Muslims did the attacks of 911. I would like to know more on those statistics and find out who they believed did the attacks. I think we know that answer though.
yes I agree with you completely. I agree with you more then you might think. The problem is it will happen because the terrorist sooner or latter will use nukes and our response will be genocidal. The hay stack will be burned.
Please. The IRA was a nationalist movement by Irish who wanted independence from the British Crown. The Catholic/Protestant garbage is a red herring meant to show the EEEVil Irish Catholics and their extremism. Anti-Papism is the name of That game. There is Very little evidence of Catholicism playing any part in the Irish Civil War.
thank you
How many Protestants were fighting on the side of the IRA?
This is not the Middle East. It is the United States of America.
The subject of this thread is American Muslims. So your statistics are meaningless.
Well, I dont' believe anybody is going to use nukes. Not in the forseeable future, anyway.
In modern times, the jizya and zakat taxes have been replaced by more modern forms of taxation.
What these forms are I don't know, but jizya is no longer in practice.
And, what about the Christian minorities in Arab nations, anyway? They're Christian, don't pay the jizya since it is no longer in practice, and still exist as a minority.
How many Protestants were fighting on the side of the IRA?
Gee, how many pearlies were fighting on the side of the IRA? I guess that makes them anti-pearlie.
I'm late to this thread, but to me, the answer is yes. A good Muslim can be a good American. A much higher percentage of Muslims have assimilated into society in the US than in Europe.
Don't throw any cold water on the fire storm. It is anti-cathartic.
As a fellow "Mooslie apologist", you need to know that there is room in the detention camps for you and me, too.
I've avoided this embarrassment of a thread for long enough.
Hope there's room at the Inn for me too.
Here in NYC the Arab community was established over a century ago. I guess they were just being patient.
This is America. The Inn is quite large. :)
The next time some leftist comes up to you and tells you that diversity is great and that assimilation is cultural genocide, you can ask him this: Why haven't we had the same acts of terrorism by HOME-GROWN Muslims that the UK and other European countries have had?
For the vast majority of Muslims here, American freedom beats the crap out of Sharia.
Where was this?
Maybe that should be part of the questioning to enter the country. Will you accept other religions to live freely?
The Bible is not my authority for civil law. The Bible orders me to obey the civil law of such country I may inhabit, temporarily or by birth, so long as such obedience does not conflict with faith principles (i.e. compulsory Islamic prayer or prohibition of Christian worship).
Do I escape your label?
