This is very interesting! We all need to read it from start to finish......... and send it on to anyone who will read it. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his 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) (Koran). Scripturally - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran. 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 mullahs (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 Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 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; it's still the truth. * * * You had better believe it. * * * The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. And Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our President? You HAVE to be kidding?! Wake up America! Obama even says if he wins the election, he will be sworn in on the Quran (Koran)---not the Bible!
I don't even know where to begin in responding with this outrageous email. I'm sure this is making its rounds across the internet, and I'm sure that many here on DU may have received this as well. Personally, I find Christian fundamentalism like this to be a MUCH bigger threat to America than the most extreme fanatical Muslim could ever hope to be. And this bullshit about Obama being a Muslim, what a crock of shit! It's amazing that this outright lie is still being propagated, but it just goes to show how virulently the bigotry is among the right-wing crowd.
I think that I will challenge this person to show me video or audio proof of Obama saying that he would be sworn in on the Koran. Wonder if I'll ever get a response?
