It depends on what "is" is... or in this case, what you think religion is.
For me, and probably you, religion is about the unseen, and comes with a strong moral code of conduct. But it also means a system of unquestioned, deeply held beliefs.
Is Marxism a religion? It claims to be atheistic, but fulfills the unquestioned belief criterion.
Many leftists, including our own, aren't satisfied by traditional religions and seek to satisfy their religious needs in politics. Islam combines religious trappings with a plan for political conquest.
There are people who find religion in it. But for many, it is the thrill of looting, conquest, and power that attracts. That's why I've always said that Islam is a particularly dangerous thing in prison. You take people with a propensity for violence and criminality, and tell them that if they exhibit some discipline with in the new Islamic community, everyone outside the Ummah is fair game.
So, for me, Islam isn't a theological religion, but I can see that it serves the obsessive impulses that many theological religions pick up in their fringe sects.
In my mind Islam is the same as communism. It is not a religion. Shouldn’t a religion have, at it’s moral center, to good?
Two little boys are at the beach. One, boy, a Jew, builds a sand castle, the other, a Muslim, kicks it down.
Islam will eventually show its colors. It will take acts that will be far and away more hideous than what they’ve done thus far.
As I write this, I would not be surprised that there are plans to do great harm to us in this country.
