The truth about Islam is that it is not a religion. It as an ideology (like communism or fascism) masquerading as a religion. Mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him) wanted a way to unite the Arab tribes so he stole stuff from the Bible, both from the Old Testament and the New Testament, elevated a minor moon god, Allah, into a supreme being and Islam was born. And no, Allah is not the same God worshiped by Jews and Christians. Allah is a bloodthirsty god who demands that Mooslimes kill non-Mooslimes so the brave Mooslimes can go to paradise where they can rape 72 virgins. Mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him) was an insane pedophile. Islam is a death cult. Islam has been waging war against the West for the last 1400 years. The next major war will be fought between Islam and Western Civilization. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of war and has been since its creation. That is the truth about Islam. And damn right, I’m an Islamophobe!
All you really need to know about Islam you should have learned on 9/11. It’s a religion that glorifies people who fly airplanes full of innocent people into buildings full of innocent people. And the Paleoswinians, whom we give money to, cheered this event. Mooslimes living in the US cheered this event. What a wonderful religion. What wonderful people.
Maybe we should send a few more 2 million dollar missles over there to kill some guy who lives in a mud hut…..why does it matter????
Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion.
One Man’s Opinion
The first amendment says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. (Emphasis mine.)
This statement has been interpreted to mean that there should be a separation between church and state. The problem with this interpretation is what is meant by separation? One interpretation is that the government should be antipathetic and not allow any reference to religion on any public property by any public employee or, for that matter, anyone else.
Another is that there should be no official religion codified by law. This is in response to the fact that most European countries at the time (and Islam from the beginning) had official religions. If you did not practice the official religion there were consequences that reduced your civic standing. British Recusancy laws are an example.
The justification for the former position is one phrase by Thomas Jefferson, one of our founders, in one letter. As prolific a writer as Thomas Jefferson was, nothing can be found to support the argument that he supported the first interpretation.
To the contrary: Thomas Jefferson created the (so called) Jefferson Bible by translating scripture as written in Latin, Greek, French and English, intending to distribute it among the Indians “…thinking this simple form would suit them best.” Such a project hardly seems like the act of someone who rejected the spread of religion.
We hear much about Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists in which he used the metaphor “wall of separation” which has been misinterpreted by secularists. But we hear nothing about his letter to James Fishback in which he said:
“The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society, He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain. We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses.”–Letter to James Fishback, September 27, 1808. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 1904, V.12, p.315
Religion is concerned with the effect of our behavior on our immortal soul. Judgment for violating religious tenets takes place before God in the afterlife. The only penalty in this life is excommunication or denial of sacrament, neither of which harms our body or purse. Government is concerned with our temporal existence. Judgment for violating civic authority (man-made law) takes place on earth during our lifetime and results in penalties against our person.
Some of the greatest tyrannies in history resulted from violations of misstated religious law being judged and punished in this life by man using the power of the state. One example is the afore mentioned Recusancy Laws in England between 1593 and1829 which persecuted Catholics. Another is the Spanish Inquisition which persecuted Jews.
As students of history, our founders understood that. That is the situation that they wished to avoid with the establishment clause of the First Amendment. Any reasoned examination of their words and behavior would show that they supported the influence of the Judeo/Christian bible on our culture and that there was no exclusion of God or religion from the public square. Their concern was combining religious leadership and governmental power into one body (Jefferson referred to the Altar and the Throne) invoking God’s name to justify punishment for breaking man’s law. That is why, “…or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” is part of the first amendment.
So what needs to be kept separate is authority not knowledge. Religion has authority over our soul, the state has authority over our flesh.
