If Freedom Of Religion Includes Islam Then Why Doesn't The Pledge Of Allegiance Mention It

[ChristisKing]

For it says that we are one nation under God not one nation under Allah. The United States of America was founded as a Christian nation not Islamic.

You are thinking of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The US Constitution doesn't mention Christianity or include the word 'God'.

You're right my mistake. I fixed it. I thought that it was The US Constitution too. We were still founded as a Christian nation though.

The fact is that because our republic adheres to freedom of religion, Islam is protected.

That said, and despite the horror of the Islamofascists, it remains perfectly ok for any of us to express disgust for the extreme versions of Islam.

I don’t give a shit about their religious beliefs. They are free to believe it. But their actions are still subject to being prohibited, under certain specific circumstances.

Islam is just an excuse to gain power over women and children. Hence it being a false religion.

A thorough reading of the 1st Amendment should resolve any confusion you have.

"Allah" is "God" in Arabic. "Deus" is "God" in Portuguese. "神" is "God" in Japanese.

Words can be translated.

Islam is largely reprehensible. But whether it qualifies as a “religion” remains an open question.

No it doesn't because again Islam is a false religion. They abuse and sexually abuse women and children, persecute Christians, and murder anybody they want to. That's not a religion that's a cult.

Again it isn't a religion. It's a cult.

I don’t agree. But it as religions go, I wish it would.

You wish it would what?

 

[Mr Natural]

They’re all cults. Some are just crazier than the others.

You're right my mistake. I fixed it. I thought that it was The US Constitution too. We were still founded as a Christian nation though.

We were founded by men with Christian ideals, however, they were very clear that they did not want the government to take sides in a religious context.

 

[DGS49]

Allah and God are not the same personage. You cannot petition Allah for mercy or anything else. The Bible contains countless examples of individuals asking God for all manner of things, and of God granting them, at least in the minds of believers.

All the Constitution says on the subject is that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. To wit, the U.S. will not have a national religion, as England and other European countries did.

Islam posits that government should be subject to the rules of Islam, and its religious officials. Many of its moral teachings run counter to the Bible and American law, and we are supposed to hope that Muslims here don't take those things seriously.

At any given time, at least 75% of the Armed conflicts around the world are directly related to Islam, its teachings, and the proclamations of its leaders. Truly, Islam is a cancer in the human race.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Concerned American]

No it doesn't because again Islam is a false religion.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. They may feel you belong to a cult as many other religions do. This is a fine example of exactly why the gov't should not align with ANY religion.

Again, YOU aren't a Christian.

Jesus forbids the abuse of women and children.

No it doesn't because again Islam is a false religion. They abuse and sexually abuse women and children, persecute Christians, and murder anybody they want to. That's not a religion that's a cult.

The 1st Amendment also give you a right to your opinion and the 1.4 billion people who practice the Islamic religion the right to do so, as long as they also adhere to our laws when they are in the US.

[Concerned American]

Jesus forbids the abuse of women and children.

That is how you interpret your religion. The puritans clearly didn't believe that as they burned many women at the stake for witchcraft. The prohibition of Murder is the prime tenet of most religions, but more people have died in the name of religion than for any other cause.
