Can Muslims be good Americans?

.

This was passed on to me.  Perhaps this is why Muslims in America have been so quiet about thier faith.  It seems to support my previously published posts.

 

 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 does 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!
  
 Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.  SO  FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. 

The Speaker in the park

.
As my tale goes, I noticed a large group gathered around a man speaking in a park.  The group seemed mesmerized by the man who was tall and well dressed.  He spoke with confidence as if he was a not only a leader but a wizard.

I stopped to watch for a bit and noticed the man was wearing a rather extravagant gold watch gleaming with huge diamonds around the face and beautiful gemstones covering the band.  It seemed as if the watch was what made the man.  He would push back his cuff to show the watch many times through out his talk as if he was continually checking the time.

I couldn't quite understand exactly what the man was saying as his words were jumbled and repetitive.  But I did hear him clearly ask the audience if anyone knew the time, even though he was looking at his golden watch.  Confused by his actions, I asked the gentleman why he was asking us for the time when he had such a beautiful watch right before him on his wrist.  The man explained that the watch had stopped working a few months ago.  Then when another in the crowd asked why not get another watch, the speaker replied that although his watch was broken, it was his pride and joy.  And aruged convincingly that although it was broken, it still displayed the time accurately although if only twice a twice a day.

I awoke by the crowd cheering President Obama, ever eager to accept a broken system of distorted promises, illusions and lies.

The last house on the Left

.
As a son of a military man, I lived in to many different places.  Just about every three years Dad was transferred to a new assignment and always brought his family with him.  Places, some strange, some not, but all were new to me.

But everywhere we went there seemed to be that "Last house on the left."  The one where the residents were just different.  Not bad, but just different in a way that made them stand out from the others in our neighborhood.  Sice then, I have lived my adult life in even more neighborhoods.

And you know, they were different in ways that stood out to me.  Perhaps it was because the male children in that house preferred to play with dolls.  Or maybe they preferred to play a musical instrument, read Doctor Seuss, or paint rather than throw snowballs at the passing cars or start a game of stick ball.

And their Moms and Dads (seemed everyone had one of each back then) preferred wine over beer and Classical music over Country & Western.  They were always the first to plant colored rock instead of grass in their yards, drive the latest imported car, usually some version of Volkswagen.  They wore bow ties and suits with fake patches on the elbows, and wore T-shirts while swimming.  Most were covered in zink oxcide during the summer months.

But as time passed, the houses on the left seemed to spread along our block.  What they had was contagious and soon all the houses became just like that last one.  And now most of the houses in my neighborhood are all on the left.  And I know that soon they will outnumber those on the right.

And America will become Greece or France where only the rich work to feed those on the Left.
