I am sick to death, sick to death (repeating incase you weren't aware of how sick I am of it), of people attacking Obama because of his heritage. It really has gotten old. And it shows how much of a force he is, people are scared of the change he represents and are reaching for the lowests of lows by attacking a man based on his name. So his name is of middle eastern heritage, so fucking what. I have a very german last name, doesn't mean I am nazi. It has just gotten so out of hand. And the people that believe these falsifications, please, quit allowing ignorance and fear of change rule your life. Be intelligent, look into the facts.
The email stated reasons that Obama can't be elected, based on him following Islam. The problem starts at the beginning. He isn't Muslim. He never has been. His father was, yes the father that left him and his mother. He was not raised in the Islamic religion. He is, in fact, a christian.
The reasons a Muslim can't be president?
CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?
Theologically - no.....Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia.
First of all, Allah means God. Allah is the Islamic word for God. Just as Yahweh is the jewish name for god. Actually Suen is the name of the moon god. Having an allegiance to allah is no different then having an alligence to Yahweh or God.
Religiously - no.....Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Qur'an, 2:256)
Okay the actual verse "There is no compulsion in religion". The idea that this means that no other religion is accepted is something created by western religions leaders. Every religion likes to believe that they have it right. Christians, Jews, Catholics, Mormans... that is something they all believe in, that they have it right. Why is it so wrong for Islam?
Scripturally - no.....Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.
The five pillars of Islam are: Faith, Prayers, Almsgiving, Fasting and Pilgrimage.
And because of this a person who is muslim can't be an american? So as a christian you can't be an american because you pledge your alligence to the bible, the cross? Or mormans can't be american because they pledge their alligence to the bible, the book of morman, a modern day prophet, they fast too... it goes on and on.
This would also mean that all Christians and Jews are bad Americans because they too give their "allegiance" to their doctrines and holy books. (The Five Pillars of Islam are: Faith, Prayers, Almsgiving, Fasting, and Pilgrimage.)
Geographically - no.....Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Mecca is a religious site. It is not a country, it is not a state. At this point the person who created this email is reaching, looking for things. I think it says something deep about the Islamic religion that followers strive to visit such a holy place.
Socially - no...Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews..
Hogwash. I haven't fully studied the Quran, but you can bet your ass I will be now. But I don't think this is right. I have two friends who are Islamic, and guess what... they are still my friends. In fact they have never tried to push me. We get along smashingly. This is like saying that christians and jews can't be friends.
From the Qur'an: [5.2] "Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression." And also [5.8] "do not let ill-will towards any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just; that is nearest to heedfulness".
While it is true that the Koran is critical of the Christians holy trinity and of the Jews refusal to accept Jesus and Muhammad as messengers of God but there are disparities between all religions.
Politically - no.....Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
There is no hierarchical authority in Islam and there are no priests. Prayers are led by a learned person who knows the Qur'an and is generally chosen by the congregation. A Mullah is a name given to these learned persons and means both vicar and guardian.
Domestically - no.....Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).
Yes, it is true that Islam does allow a man to take up to four wives but only if he can provide for each one equally. This means financially and emotionally. It must be noted that this is not practiced by all sects of Islam and that it is also the practice of some Mormons of the Christian sect.
Sadly it does state in the Qur'an [4.34] "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." From Leviticus [24:16] "anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death." Also, from Exodus [31:14] "Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people." Would this also make Christians bad Americans? My point is that just because it is stated in a holy book doesn't necessarily mean that it is accepted or being practiced.
Intellectually - no.....Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles, and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
First of all, Islam has the same old testemant that we do. This statement implies that only Christians could possibly be good Americans because most other religions don't follow the Bible. Like I stated earlier the Qur'an is highly critical of the Christians holy trinity because Muslims believe there to be only one God and see the holy trinity as a declaration of three separate gods (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Muslims do in fact believe in Jesus. He is second only to Muhammad, the founder of the Islamic faith. Both Christians and Muslims agree that he was born of a virgin, performed miracles and raised the dead. Muslims also believe in Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses. (Any religion is bound to be critical and find fault in another religions holy book(s).)
Philosophically - no.....Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
If you are a Muslim it would stand to reason that you would follow Islam and its holy books and religious icons. You wouldn't be a Muslim and follow the books of Christianity or Judaism…that wouldn't make any sense. Also, in the three years since the start of the Iraq war, a number of Muslim countries have taken tentative steps toward democratic politics. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, is also now considered the world's third-largest democracy. There are other Muslim countries taking steps toward democracies including: Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Chad, Yemen, Tajikistan, and the United Arab Emirates. (Just to name a few!)
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 Qur'an's 99 excellent names.
God is only called Heavenly Father a handful of times and does it really matter that Allah is not called Heavenly Father? Also, Allah is refereed to as "loving" many times over in the Qur'an.
[2.195] "…Allah loves the doers of good."
[2.222] "…Allah loves those who turn much (to Him)…"
[3.31] "…Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is forgiving, merciful."
[3.76] "…Allah loves those who guard (against evil)."
[3.146] "…Allah loves the patient."
[3.159] "…Allah loves those who trust."
[5.42] "…Allah loves those who judge equitably."
[5.93] "…Allah loves those who do good (to others)."
[9.4] "…Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty)."
[9.108] "…Allah loves those who purify themselves."
[49.9] "…Allah loves those who act equitably."
[60.8] "…Allah loves the doers of justice."
He seems pretty loving to me…
I hope this will help some people to better understand Islam and to keep an open mind when it comes to things they don't fully understand or know much about. I wish people would stop perpetuating the hatred of other people. If you don't understand something look into it for yourself and don't rely on mass media for the whole truth. You must know that most news sources in the U.S. (TV, Radio, Newspapers…ect.) are all owned by a small select group of people with the same ideas and opinions. Be a critical thinker and look for your own independent sources…
