CAN A MUSLIM BE A GOOD AMERICAN?


* Better think about this long and hard.....*

Can a Good Muslim be a Good American?

Interesting questions for the Muslim Community to discuss & for
research on our part also.

Can a good Muslim be a good American? I forwarded that question to a friend
who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years . The following is his forwarded
reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon
God of Arabia. Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by
his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)


Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam
and the Quran (Koran). Geographically - no. Because his
allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make
friends with Christians or Jews. Politically - no. Because he must submit
to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and
Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and
beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 ).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American
Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the
Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow
freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist.
Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no Because when we declare "one nation under God," the
Christians God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as
heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Qurans 99 excellent
names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation.... Perhaps we should be very
suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both
"good" Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish..its still the truth. You had better believe it!
If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above statements,
perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand
this, the better it will be for our country and our future. Pass it on
Fellow Americans. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.

*And Braack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our President...*

that's like saying catholics can't be good americans because their overall allegiance is to the Pope. Kinda free-tarded.

Does following fundamentalist Islam make it hard to live in a liberalized western secular society.. sure as hell does. It'll still end up like all the other religions... a failure destroyed by rediscovered history and ignored except on the sabbath.

You know I know a lot of very religious jews that eat bacon cheeseburgers. They've simply decided that the dietary laws don't apply to their relationship with <insert non-existant deity here>.

thats a bit retarded...theologically, religiously and spiritually sort of fall under the same umbrella...as for muslims being good americans? why the hell not? what difference does religion make? these days we can barely get away with saying god in school...and that "one nation under god" line is just about outlawed anyway...why pretend we are gods country now? better hope muslims can be good americans...cause last time i checked in at my doctors office it was almost 80% of them

I live a couple of miles down the road from the apartments and Mosque that 3 of the 911 hijackers lived in and no one thought they were bad Muslims. My point is they cant be trusted

People thought that about Hitler because one of the first things Hitler did was to control the media and information. He also unified the German people by creating an external threat to their beliefs and way of life. He gave the german people a common enemy to focus all of the fear and hatred on while he forged and solidified an evil, war mongering empire. His solution, known as "The Final Solution", caused the near genocide of the jewish population from Europe and sent millions to their deaths.
Using Hitler as an example is a very poor chose when referring to the current world political state.

A little girl was kidnapped from an alley on the 4th of July right behind her house. The suspect was driving a grey van. So, anyone that drives a grey van can't be trusted.

Two teenage girls robbed a bank not too long ago, so, teenage girls can't be trusted.

A U.S. Senator was caught with his hand in the prostitute cook jar, now they can't be trusted.

We live in a volitile, open society, its easy to put the blame on all of our problems with just one part of it.

My family lived in Saudi for 12 years. We had many great Muslim friends. Behind the doors these people are no different than you and I . The Sheik who owned the compound even allowed us to have Catholic worship, as long as it was not publically displayed. He was of the opinion that Christians and Muslims believed in the same God.

The problem is with the Religious Police, who are usually un-educated thugs brain washed with a fanatical Islam point of view. IMO, the official Religious enforcement is driving the fanatical Muslim to be intolerant.

seriously cheds, that is without a doubt the dumbest thing you have ever said, and you have never stuck me as a stupid person.

have you ever bothered to meet a muslim? or do you just make these assanine assumptions based off some rediculous claims from some other idiot who spouted them out?
I may be too extreme. I just get a horrible evil feeling of non trust with them. Some may be good people but its just the bad ones that cancel out all the good too me. I dont know what to think of them.

Yes I have met an muslim

consider this: I personally think religion is nothing more than cowardice in the face of an impending answer to an unknown question. I think the most fanatically religious are possibly the most cowardly.

Backing it up: One of you has got to be a psych major. If you were to profile a coward, they would always long for control over others since they feel a lack of power and control over their own life. Thus the super religious are simply grasping at some control in an uncertain world.

Taking it one step further: So, we should expect that those with the absolute best reason to try to effect their will on others would be the biggest ****** and the most likely to swallow a HUGE load of BS like you can find in any major religion. They're by extension also the most likely to internalize and moralize any bizarre or inhumane actions they might take as "the only weapon they have".

Blowing the whole argument: The two nicest guys I've ever met are 1, an incredibly faithful orthodox Jew and 2, a Shi'a Muslim (to his credit he disregards ALL of the really wacky chit as archaic). The biggest piece of crap I've ever met is a fundamentalist born-again Christian. The jew and the muslim are some of the best Americans I know and their faith does not interfere with their respect and sense of duty to their country.

It's disrepectful to them and to everyone else to label them evil because they like a different book than your dad did. Fundamentalist christians are just as big a problem but we call them that instead of abortion clinic terrorists, serial bombers, mass murderers or other slurs. It's all in the PR.
