sorry about the bold text. I don't know what I hit.

This is not my opinion. I have yet to formulate one.
I guess I assumed that bashanything 's debate topics were to stimulate inteligent debate. Instead , I have been accused of being someone I am not and accused of having an opinion that I have never expressed.
So how is the weather in your hometown?
poetrylover said:Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
1) The Bible is worse: Exodus 23:32, Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 5:7, Deuteronomy 6:15; Deuteronomy 7:25, Deuteronomy 13:6-9, Deuteronomy 17:2-7, 2 Chronicles 15:13, Jeremiah 10:2, Matthew 12:30, Luke 11:23, and Romans 16:17 (courtesy of religioustolerance.org)Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Not different from Christians, whose values also transcend American law.Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
1) What is a "geographical allegiance" anyway? Why should geography be a basis for an allegiance?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.:
1) Not true of all Mullahs. Certainly, America being the Great Satan isn't part of Islamic texts.Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
1) Do I need to go down the list of slavery, violence, animal sacrifice, genocide, polygamy, rape, cruelty and misogyny in the Bible? Do we need to talk about Jacob and Shechem? Do we need to go over the Midianites, of whom were slain every man and boy, and every woman who had touched a man, and whose female virgins became the Israelites forced wives? How about Lot, who let his two daughters be raped to death by a mob? Or the Abrahamic prophets, most of whom had multiple sexual partners (wives plus concubines)?Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
The American Constitution is not based upon Biblical principles; it's based upon enlightenment humanist principles. I could quote Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and many, many others on this. The preamble to the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by Adams, is particularly clear on this. It's only time constraints that stop me from quote spamming right now.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.
The fact that most Muslims live in dictatorships doesn't mean that Islam is inconsistent with democracy. Christianity existed for how long before the enlightenment? During the middle ages, the Islamic world was considerably more democratic than the Christian world, by virtually any metric. The despotism in that part of the world is not a result of Islam.Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
1) Do I need to repeat the stuff before about violence and hate in the Bible?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.
Having done anything more than the most basic research, one can immediately come to the conclusion that this is all horse manure.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.
Okay, so the original author wants us to be racists as well as religiously intolerant. Check.The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States especially in the minority races!!!
A place to debate everything and anything!
