This will not be popular but condemning all Muslims as terrorists is the same as saying all Christian’s are dumb Jim Jones followers. I have personal friends who are Muslim. The wife dresses with no hijab. They are both naturalized citizens of 10+ years and came here to the US to escape the extremest in their country. We were founded on freedom of religion, not freedom of Christian religion. Yes I’m a Christian but I have the ability to tolerate people who were raised differently and to try and understand their culture. There is no place for stereotype hate for an entire group of people based on their radical counterparts. Everyone and I mean everyone should be judged on the content of their character, period. I know Christian’s who I believe to be as evil AF. Every group has extremists.
My area has been taken over by Muslims and East Indians who refuse to assimilate. Yes you may have a friend or two who is proud to be American and puts America first but 95+% of those people don’t so I would rather not them here in the first place.
It’s not America’s job to be the world police, day care and sugar daddy.
Right, we should never make decisions based on the rare exception to the rule.
We should base our decisions on the general rule that generally applies.
Their holy book says different. You and these "moderate" Muslims are ignoring that the Koran says it alone is the supreme law for islamicists, and not the law of whatever land they inhabit. Only the Koran is the law. They who disobey, regardless of their professed religion, are marked for destruction BY OTHER HUMAN BEINGS—who are defined by the Koran as the good people. You're good if you kill infidels.
Isn't it funny how the Bible doesn't say that?
Sure, it suggests you can go to hell for committing sins and not repenting. But that's GOD dishing out the punishment, not other humans.
I’m guessing you have never read Deuteronomy
Part of Islam is to LIE to non-believers if it gains an advantage for the muslim.
I bet your muslim "friends" won't tell you about that.
Deuteronomy doesn't encourage us to lie to infidels.
Correct. It says to kill them. You can’t lie to a dead person.
13:6-10 (anyone who worships another God should be killed including those in your family)
6 But that prophet or that dreamer shall be put to death, because, in order to lead you astray from the way which the LORD, your God, has commanded you to take, the prophet or dreamer has spoken apostasy against the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
7 If your brother, your father’s child or your mother’s child, your son or daughter, your beloved spouse, or your intimate friend entices you secretly, saying, “Come, let us serve other gods,” whom you and your ancestors have not known, 8 any of the gods of the surrounding peoples, near to you or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: 9 do not yield or listen to any such person; show no pity or compassion and do not shield such a one, 10 but kill that person. Your hand shall be the first raised to put such a one to death; the hand of all the people shall follow
20:12-15 (kill all the males and take the females to enjoy as you like if they don’t agree with you)
12 But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead joins battle with you, lay siege to it, 13 and when the LORD, your God, delivers it into your power, put every male in it to the sword; 14 but the women and children and livestock and anything else in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder for yourselves, and you may enjoy this spoil of your enemies, which the LORD, your God, has given you.
15 That is how you shall deal with any city at a considerable distance from you, which does not belong to these nations here.
I'm guessing you have never read the New Testament, where Jesus repudiates the barbaric punishments of the Old Testament, like those in Deuteronomy
Fascinating reading
Actually, that is not true.
The Founders' understanding of "freedom of religion" was to prevent one particular sect of Christianity from being the official religion of the state.
The word Christian or Christianity is nowhere in our founding documents. Yes the first step was to prevent a specific sect from being the official religion but our founding fathers were very thorough and meticulous and had they intended it to include only Christianity they would have said that.
True, and that is why you have to read other things they wrote, so that you can understand the full context.
Ben Franklin did not want to allow Germans into the USA. He thought it should be only for English. Both ethnicities are Christian, and White. Actually, the English are Germanic people, as well. So, why the disagreement?
All Founding Fathers were some form of Christian, unless you want to include Thomas Paine (which I do include), who was an atheist.
When Muslim pirates were killing and enslaving White Europeans and Americans off the Barbary Coast of Africa, Thomas Jefferson met with one of the Islamic leaders and asked why they were doing it. He was told that Islam allows it, so they do it. Jefferson was shocked by that response, and so he went to war against them (the words of the Marine Corps hymn include a passage about that era).
In 1790, the First Congress (just 1 year after the Constitution was officially ratified) created the first immigration act. The act said that only WHITE people could become US citizens. They were not talking about Muslims or Hindus.
There are numerous writings we can point to that indicate that the USA Founding Fathers intended that the White Christian was who they considered to be "our Posterity" in the Constitution's preamble.
The idea that anyone else would ever become an American was such a ridiculous concept, that they had no reason to be more specific. It was understood by all.
It does not matter whether you like it or not.
It is a FACT.
I agree. The left wants us to see every cultural/ethnic/racial group as a monolith...we can't fall into that trap.
