Do not Christians secretly seek to establish a Theocracy in the USA?

Yeah; and 9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by the U.S. government, which everyone knows is run by Jews and their agents.

The italicized line above sums up your whole sorry defense of the religion of Islam. It is this hostility towards Christians and Jews in particular, and all non-Muslims (infidels) in general that is the backbone of the religion of your “prophet.” The problem with Islam is Islam. Besides, the obvious answer to your assertion concerning Islam’s establishment of justice, freedom and equality 1200 years prior (1200 years, huh? Whoa!) to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution is this, where are the Islamic states that incorporate these fundamental principles of liberty into their laws and governing institutions? I submit to you, sir, that the Bible, from whence your illiterate prophet extracted and subsequently pulverized many of the stories contained in the Koran, predates both the U.S. Constitution and the establishment of the Islamic religion.

Furthermore, Christians have been a large and dominating influence on this continent for the better part of four centuries, and we’ve yet to establish a Christian theocracy here in spite of all of our secretive, collaborative efforts to do so. We’ve also invited and empowered all manner of non-Christian foreigner in this country, including Muslims, which would seem to be counterproductive to our underlying purposes to establish a Christian theocracy. Hmmm.

As an American Patriot who practices the Islamic faith; I respectfully request that you quit spreading lies about the Islamic faith and try to understand more. The commandment to kill was only revealed after repeated attempts by the Islamic community to make peace with the idol worshippers. The verse was revealed during a battle with the idolaters. It is unfortunately used out of context by misguided extremists such as the Taliban and Al-Qaida to further their hateful agenda, AND by misguided ‘non-Muslims’ who may harbor enmity towards the Islamic faith.

During the reign of Islam in the City of Jerusalem, all monotheistic faiths practiced w/o persecution. It was the Knights Templar and Radical ‘Christians’ who stirred up trouble that began the ‘Unholy Wars’ in the middle east which repercussions still reverberate there today.

It is this attitude towards my faith that have caused me to stay on the fringes of the Constitution Party. I see the Divine Hand in the creation of the US Constitution; and that the intent of the founding fathers was to promote the freedom to worship or not to worship. It was Islam 1200 years prior to this documents’ drafting that promotes justice, freedom, and equality.

If you truly care about understanding instead of persecuting what you may have only one side of the argument to, then please read the following:

Quran and Hadith on Religious Persecution
No compulsion in religion

This article has two sections. The first is a brief explanation of Quranic verses that are often mistaken as instructions to persecute Non-Muslims. The second section features verses from the Quran and Hadith that vehemently insist on religious tolerance and the idea of “no compulsion in religion.” God willing, Non-Muslims as well as our Muslim brothers and sisters who resort to violence, will take these verses into consideration.

Anti-Islamic people often use the following verses to justify the stereotype that Islam is a religion of violence and intolerance, which was spread by the sword. The explanations here were aided by Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s commentary on the Holy Quran.

Sura 8.12 “Remember thy lord has inspired the angels with the message. Give firmness to the believers and instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite the fingertips of them.”

Sura 9.5 “When the sacred months have passed, kill the idolaters whereever you find them.”

Sura 47.4 “When you encounter the unbelievers, Strike off their heads. Untill you have made a wide slaughter among them tie up the remaining captives.”

Sura 8 is about a BATTLE – the Battle of Badr – not just some daily affair. A battles take two side to occur. Are you under the impression that while these ‘horrid’ Muslims were fighting, the enemies were simply standing there like good little peaceful men?

Sura 47 was revealed during the first year of Hijrah when the Muslims were under *threat of extinction* by invasion from Makkah.

Sura 9 is interesting. Non-Muslims almost invariably quote verse 5 but leave out verse 4 and 6. Why? Because verse 4 says, “But the treatises are not dissolved with those Pagans with whom you have entered into alliance and who have you subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfill your engagements with them to the end of their term: for God Loves the righteous.”

And verse 6 says, “If one among the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him so that he may hear the Word of God; and then escort him to where he can be secure.”

So basically what has been done above is:

1. The background to each sura was shown. One cannot take a verse revealed for a battle and insist it is if for the daily affairs of Muslims.

2. It was shown how Non-muslims who wish to attack Islam, conveniently leave out verses before and after their quoted verse. Above, I have shown only one of the many examples.

Islamic teaches that there is One GOD. It stands to reason that more than one GOD would create disturbances in the creation as one god would vie for mastery over the creation over the other?!

Even Thomas Paine, (Accused of Atheism), professes the existence of GOD, but held allegiances to no doctrine of faith.

“It is only by the exercise of reason that man can discover God.”
-Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

The declaration which says that God visits the sins of the fathers upon the children is contrary to every principle of moral justice. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]

Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
Thomas Paine

Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law. Take away the law-establishment, and every religion re-assumes its original benignity.
– Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, 1791

What is it the New Testament teaches us? To believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married; and the belief of this debauchery is called faith.
– Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)

comments? Thoughts? Are we in America judging Islam too harshly?

We’re not here to incite violence…..so please respect that.

DENVER, CO – A federal appeals court has ruled that a Ten Commandments monument outside Oklahoma’s Haskell County Courthouse “has the primary effect of endorsing religion.”

A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to federal Judge Ronald White so he could issue a new ruling consistent with theirs. White previously rejected arguments that the monument promotes Christianity at the expense of other religions.

The latest ruling prompted Haskell County Commissioner Mitch Worsham to say, “Whoever was the judge in this, I feel sorry for him on Judgment Day.”

Haskell County’s attorneys can now ask all the judges on the appellate court to review the panel’s decision, or appeal the case directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Worsham says, “We’re not going to take it down.”

I have watched the nation for almost 30 years go along a track whose end could only be ruin, yet has been unable to do a single thing to stop it. The national debt clock has been running away in New York for as long as any of us can remember, yet year after year nothing is done.

Same with the New World Order. The Birch Society has been pounding on this situation since before I was born, but most people are emotionally unprepared to face the reality our government is working treasonously to betray our national sovereignty to a North American Union, with a further view to world government. I express no opinion whether they will succeed, but even though Lou Dobbs has been sounding the alarm on TV, nobody seems to give a flip. Ho, hum, who won American Idol? Has my government check arrived yet?
