Islam and the 1st Amendment

[NYcarbineer]

David Deming proposes a Constitutional Amendment and taxation to exclude Islam from the protections of the 1st Amendment in order to preserve America and Western Civilization....

Donald Trump created a media firestorm when he called for a moratorium on Muslim immigration to the US. Trump was denounced as a xenophobic racist -- as if Islam was not a religion, but a race (go figure). Trump's announcement was apparently prompted by a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, where two Islamic terrorists killed fourteen people. The San Bernardino incident followed in the wake of a coordinated strike by ISIS in November that slaughtered 130 people in Paris, France.

It's an absurd but deadly circus. Time after time, Islamic terrorists murder innocent people, and leftists immediately fall all over themselves to embrace Muslims and declare Islam to be a "religion of peace." In my home state, the director of the Oklahoma chapter of CAIR denounced anti-Muslim rhetoric and warned, "hateful words too often lead to violence." Listening to this sort of propaganda one might obtain the impression that Christian Crusaders were massacring innocent Muslims. The reality is that Islamic terrorists worldwide are intent not just on the genocide of Christians but the replacement of Western Civilization by a universal caliphate. If any people doubt this, I would invite them to watch the Frontline documentary, The Rise of Isis.

A group called the Islamic Circle of North America has been putting up billboards in major cities in the US. The billboards read "Muhammad believed in peace, social justice, and women's rights." Of course he did. Muhammad's idea of peace and social justice was killing anyone who refused to accept his religion. And it is true that women have certain rights in Islam. So did African slaves in the antebellum South. Southern States enacted Slave Codes that detailed and protected these rights. It's easy to completely deceive people with half-truths.

Michael Moore scaled the heights of stupidity by standing outside the Trump Tower in New York City holding up a sign that read, "we are all Muslim." Moore knows we're not literally all Muslims, so presumably his message was that we're all capable of being victims of religious discrimination. President Obama has steadfastly refused to even acknowledge the existence of Islamic terrorism. The message we're supposed to take from this is that Islam is just another religion, like Buddhism, Hinduism, or Presbyterianism.

In 1997, a left-wing think tank in the UK, the Runnymede Trust, coined the neologism "Islamophobia." "Islamophobia" is now defined in a lengthy Wikipedia article as "prejudice against, hatred towards, or fear of the religion of Islam or Muslims." A phobia is an irrational fear. Thus the term by its very existence presumes what necessarily must be demonstrated: that dislike of Islam is irrational.

We're repeatedly assured that Islamic terrorists are not Islamic, that Islam is a religion of peace, and we should wholeheartedly embrace our peaceful Muslim brothers and open our borders to them. We're supposed to accept all of this while we're being slaughtered like sheep. What makes the promulgation of this nonsense possible and acceptable to a large segment of our society is simple ignorance. According to a recent Pew Poll, most Americans "know little or nothing about Islam."

I know something about Islam, and I'm writing to tell you that it's worse than you think. When Donald Trump suggested a cessation to Muslim immigration he didn't go far enough. We need a Constitutional Amendment to exclude Islam from the protections of the First Amendment. I hesitate to suggest such a radical idea, but will explain myself at length.

Islam is nothing like Christianity. For that matter, it's unlike every other religion on earth. Islam is not just a religion -- it's a vicious totalitarian system that governs every aspect of human behavior. Islam is not based on concepts of love or mercy. It's based on tyranny, killing, and suppression. Islam is utterly antithetical to the Western ideal of individual freedom. The very word "Islam" means "submission." William Muir (1819-1905) was perhaps the most perspicacious and knowledgeable Western scholar who ever studied Islam. The first one-hundred and five pages of his monumental Life of Mahomet is devoted to a discussion and evaluation of primary and original sources. Muir concluded "the sword of Mahomet, and the Koran, are the most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty, and truth, which the world has yet known."

Why would you need laws against Muslims who commit no crimes?

Why do you want laws against gun owners who commit no crimes?

I don't.

Ummm, you freaks know we've had Muslims in this country since forever ? And they've done nothing like you've described.

Unlike other religions . Mormons I'm looking at you!!!

Muslims have been something less than 0.0001% of the population for most of our history. When they are such a small minority they can't do squat. The minute they become a significant minority the start getting bellicose and making demands.

More like 1% . Which begs the question, why are u afraid of 1% ???

Has a Muslim ever hassled you ????

They are about 1% now. 20 years ago they were 0.0001%.

Muslims have killed thousands of Americans, asshole.

I've never had Muslims hassle me .

Christians are a different story . Just the other week Latter Day Saints decended on my neighborhood ! We had to hide in the panic room until they left ! (Aka the kitchen) .

Did they strap explosives to themselves and blow themselves up at your front door?

Christians invaded the holy lands of Islam and reaped the whirlwind.

The "whirwind" was prior to the crusades, moron. Don't you know anything about history?

The whirlwind was the consequence of GHW Bush invading Iraq needlessly in 1991 and leaving occupying troops in the region.

I thought we were discussing the Crusades.

The whirlwind you speak of started in 1979 when Jimmy carter told the Shah of Iran to pack his bags.

The largest Muslim country is Indonesia.

What does that have to do with Muslims in the US?

 

[Timmy]

So a dozen Muslims did a good job of killing . That means the other 3 million are all bad ?

A majority of Muslims believing killing infidels is justified, Those Muslims are all bad. Carpet bombing is too good for them.
