Interesting concept:
Can Muslims Be Good Americans ?
This is very interesting! Every real American needs to
read it from start to finish.....and share it with anyone
who will read it.
(Maybe this is why our so-called 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.
Are they the walking time bombs that all the previous
terrorists have turned out to be?
They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good
Americans.
* * * Call it what you wish; it's simply the truth.
* * * The more who understand this, the better educated
they will be about the real enemy of our culture, and our
country.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the Tanach (Old Testament) verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.
The context of violent passages is more ambiguous than might be expected of a perfect book from a loving G-d, however this can work both ways. Most of today's Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy book's call to arms according to their own moral preconceptions about justifiable violence. Apologists cater to their preferences with tenuous arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally do not stand up to scrutiny. Still, it is important to note that the problem is not bad people, but bad ideology.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. Muhammad's own martial legacy - and that of his companions - along with the remarkable stress on violence found in the Quran have produced a trail of blood and tears across world history.
Muslim group calls for Carson to leave race
By ROBERT KING
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson should withdraw from the presidential race for his comments that a Muslim shouldn't be president a prominent Muslim-American group said Sunday.
"I think his remarks should be repudiated by everyone on the political spectrum and that he should withdraw," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Islamic advocacy group, told the Washington Examiner on Sunday.
Carson, who is third in the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings, spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday and said that he wouldn't "advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation."
Hooper said that Carson's comments were unconstitutional according to Article Six of the Constitution, which forbids a religious test as a requirement for qualification to any public office.
He added that he is constantly dismayed by the "Islamophobia [exhibited] by the right wing of the political spectrum."
However, Carson's comments go "way beyond the pale from anything I have heard," said Hooper.
Carson's comments come a few days after front-runner Donald Trump refused to challenge an audience member's assertion that President Obama is a Muslim, which the president is not.
"Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd also asked Trump on Sunday on whether or not he would be comfortable with a Muslim president.
"Would I be comfortable? I don't know if we have to address it right now," he said.
