RedGolem, as others have been only too willing to point out, this thing you found is a load of (rhymes with "full grit"). I'm gonna quickly address
a couple of points. Quickly, cause I'm a bit drunk at the moment and ready for bed.
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.
Big honkin' red flag righ there. "The Moon God"???
Allah is about as much of a "Moon God" as Jesus is "The God of Wood". And, like any other religion, allegiances are various and tiered, starting
with Allah, working it's way down through prophets, etc... down to family, etc.
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
(rhymes with "full grit")!!! In fact there's a passage that specifically states that that those who follow the god of Abraham and those who follow
the god of Moses follow the same god. This has been interpreted to mean Christians and Jews, I believe.
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
What the hell does this have to do with being a good American? When I was Christian, the Ten Commandments came first and foremost, that never
interfered with my being a good American, it was just another set of rules to go by.
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
No, the allegiance isn't to Mecca. It's just a direction to turn and pray. I drive towards Dallas every day to work. I have zero loyalty to Dallas,
it's just something I have to do if I want to get to work.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Well... technically this can be supported with a number of quotes from the Qu'ran, but so what? This is America. People have the right to not like
each other and to be offended. That's what's great about this place. If you want to hate, you can, as long as you don't break the law or commit
acts of incitement.
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great
Satan.
Okay, one, a Mullah isn't a spiritual leader, so that's a tip off to the author's ignorance right there. 20 years in Saudia Arabia my rear end! A
Mullah is someone who is educated in the scriptures of Islam. The spiritual leaders are called Imams. Anyone living in a Muslim country for more than
a week is gonna learn that difference right away. Anyway, yeah, some hate Israel, but that's more of this 2000 year old feud thingy between two
tribes that were supposed to fight together and one of them didn't show up. That, and the whole Gaza Strip thingy. But for every one that teaches
about the annihilation of Israel, there's dozens who would much rather a peaceful solution occur. And the whole "America is the Great Satan" thing
is absolute (full grit) or we wouldn't have so many of them living here. I'm pretty sure it's our corrupt leadership and our double-standards that
are frowned upon.
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
Another terrible misquotation. Here is the full verse.
www.usc.edu...
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from
their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those
women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but
if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
I have no idea where the author got "four women" from, and considering the time in which it was written, beating disobediant family members was
common in almost every culture and religion. Things change over the years. Granted, women are treated truly fouly in countries like Iran, but the
topic isn't about them, it's about Islam.
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be
corrupt.
Says who? Sure, there's probably a number of Muslims who think the Bible is corrupt. They would be correct, unless you somehow had access to the
original texts and were able to view them in the context of history at that point in time and knew the political situations. So, yeah. But while some
values may be shared between The Constitution and The Bible, it is probably more due to them being widely accepted as Western Values, and not
Christian Values. For instance, most people in America, regardless of whether or not they are Christian, are pretty much in favor of treating each
other as equals, not stealing each other's stuff, and not going around killing each other. It just kinda makes sense if you want a stable, lasting
nation where you can let people handle their own means of contentment.
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.
Another ignorant statement by the author. One word: India. Half of India is Muslim. India is a democracy. And a damned successful one, too.
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.
Golly, does anyone see any bias here, perhaps? Maybe even a bit of word-mixing with stuff that has nothing to do with being an American at all?
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.
Hoooooo-boy. How can you argue with that? I'm guessing the "much study" translates to "getting schnocker'd" and "deliberation" may be read as
"making (grit) up." I have a feeling the author is borderline illiterate, and spends the majority of the time yelling at people to git off his
property...
RedGolem, dunno where you found it, but it has even less credence to it than Milli Vanilli.
