As a Muslim I say I'm glad me and millions of American muslims like me, chose to be surgeons, engineers, businessmen, firefighters, policemen, teachers, CIA operatives, FBI agents, athletes, and everything else in between and not spend our time worrying about the bigots of the right and what they think about us.A year ago, there was a thread entitled >> "Do Republicans believe a Muslim should be allowed to serve in public office if elected?" I'm now answering that by saying No, Republicans don't believe Muslims should be allowed to serve in public office, elected or not. Furthermore, no American should be OK with Muslims serving in public office.
First of all, in America, Islam is sedition, by virtue of it's supremacism, which is in violation of the Constitution (article 6, section 2, part 1-the Supremacy Clause).
Secondly, Islam is an ideology (masquerading as a religion), which advocates (if not commands) the violation of scores of US laws, including some of the most serious felonies (ex. murder, rape, pedophilia, slavery, sex discrimination)
Not only should Muslims not be part of government in America, but Islam should not exist in America, period. There should be no mosques, no Korans, no Islamic centers, etc
Dear Issa
Honestly I'd like to see more Muslim Constitutional scholars and lawyers
join this movement to stop abuses of govt by political and religious organizations.
It would help tremendously for public education and awareness
to make a clear distinction between the PEACEFUL exercise of religions
vs. the political and religious abuses that Christians and Muslims also oppose!
I would love to see a united coalition of religious and political leaders and groups
work together to make and take a stand against abuses of govt authority to impose
beliefs in violation of Constitutional laws and freedom from establishments of religion.
I hope you do get involved in Constitutional outreach, education and enforcement.
The more people see this visibly in public, that does more to end disparaging
stereotypes that cause discrimination by groups. It's the ABUSES that need to be stopped.
