Islam and the 1st Amendment

[hazlnut]

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."

What about Christianity?


If you think about it's the two youngest of the world's major religions that are the troublemakers. -- Christianity and Islam.

Sure, Buddhists and Hindus have their extremists sects, but they are few and far between.

Sunni: This is the very reason that we can't let any more of you into this country.

Every migrant wave that ultimately contributed to make this the greatest society in history. .every wave came to join in this new idea of democracy and the profit inventive and freedom of religion....where geniuses like Jefferson had stumbled on the chance to practice whether the the authority of law & the security of property...could be compatible with with the liberty of discussion & individual action.

It was "The Great American Experiment" and The Scots, the Irish, the Poles, the Greeks, the Italians...the Asians... they ALL cam to Join.

Muslims come to undermine and destroy.

Now, Obama would like to create the impression that you Muslims who are here, are being oppressed, but it is Jews against whom most hate crimes are committed. You enjoy full Constitutional rights and there is no sign that Muslims are being mistreated.

We just don't need anymore!

We must learn for the sake of of all American Society...as the fools in Europe did not learn...that we have quite enough of you, thank you.

No more immigrants from the Middle East. Bringing in a representative sample was a worthy experiment; and the ones here remain welcome...but the experiment failed, and must end.

Since the First Amendment prohibits state religion, you'd think we'd want that to apply to Muslims.

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

I was born in America. .......

And welcome...you are as much an American as I.

But you have said that Islam is America's future. And Islam, as you will likely admit...and I absolutely assert...is not just a religion; it is a political ideology as well, a very harsh one, implacable...and it means to govern everywhere it goes including in America and teach it how to worship....which Muhammad made abundantly clear--Convert or Die.

But, you need considerably more Muslims coming over to join you, before you can start dictating to us Infidel/Americans.

I say, no thanks....obviously you can stay under the same Constitution that lets me stay. Just no new Muslims. We have about enough to suit us, thank you.

P. S. Do you support Zudi Jassar's efforts to reform Islam, or do you think he should be blown up?

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) .

 

[bripat9643]

Its the TINKERBELLE phenomenon. Everytime a child says "I don't believe
in fairies------an innocent fairy drops dead"--------Everytime a child says "I don't like
muslims or islam"-------a JIHADIST MURDERESS TIES A BOMB TO HER ASS

Actually, it's the exact opposite. Every time a child says "I don't like Islam," a few more jihadies put down their AK 47s and go home.

 

[bripat9643]

Rightwing gun nuts have slaughtered more Americans in mass shootings than Islamists since 9/11.

Why can't we increase surveillance over both rightwing gun nuts and Islamists?

The Republican congress just blocked legislation that would have prevented Muslims on the terrorist watch list from getting guns.

If the USA is serious about combatting domestic terrorism, it must go after radical Islamic extremism and rightwing gun nuts.

We must stop the next Timothy McVeigh, whose rightwing anti-government zealotry caused him to blow up an entire building. Nobody on the right wants to talk about the considerable terrorism and slaughter coming from their own side.

God help us.

Isn't it funny how leftwing hosebags always leave out 9/11 when they are spouting statistics about terrorism? Just think, if we could exclude all the worst mass shootings. the number of deaths would be quite low. Incidents like 9/11 are precisely the reasons we need to worry about terrorism. The FBI has oiled numerous attempts to create similar tragedies only through dedication and herculean efforts. But listening to turds like you would lead people to indicate the FBI should quit wasting its time.

BTW, turd, the legislation to prevent people on the "terrorist watch list" was unconstitutional. See, in this country, you can't be deprived of your rights because some bureaucrat puts your name on a list. You have to have a trial first and be convicted of a crime. I know they don't observe such niceties in your country, but that's what makes the USA exceptional and not just another people's republic infested with subjects.

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

 

[bripat9643]

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.
