While that is biblical, we still find the Constitution (man’s law) to be the law we have to live under (or leave the nation or change the law). “Render unto Caesar...”
There are Islamist governments around the world that hold true to the violent and restrictive (on religious freedom) passages of the Koran. Since we see evidence in the modern world (including present day slavery and calls for violent jihad), we have a right to express caution when foreign governments fund the expansion of Islam in America through the construction of mosques and the importation of educational materials for childrens’ radical indoctrination.
Not every muslim belongs to a radical mosque or listens to a radical Imam but they all seem angry at the suggestion that any muslims in this nation are beholden to a foreign allegiance or sedition towards this nation. They can’t simply fall back on the excuse “well that’s not real Islam then”. They need to do more to rid their communities of those who “pervert” the teachings.
I have no qualms about denouncing so called Christians as Jeremiah Wright and Fred Phelps. You can lump plenty of televangelists in there as well.
>>They need to do more to rid their communities of those who “pervert” the teachings.<<
The problem is, they can’t do that because the very book they use as a base of their so called religion tells them what to do.
Fight the disbelievers! Allah is on your side; he will give you victory. 9:12-14
The “Religion of Truth” (Islam) must prevail, by force if necessary, over all other religions. 9:33
Fight the disbelievers and hypocrites. Be harsh with them. They are all going to hell anyway. 9:73
If you refuse to fight for Allah, he will punish you with a painful doom. 48:16
This is what ALL Muslims believe. At least if they believe in what the Koran says. Are any of those quotes moderate?
