Muslims in America

I was sent the spam article below this morning and I want to express my anger and disdain over this type of "article."  It is hateful, racist and spawns acts of hate and violence.  I am a Christian and while I don't agree with Islam - or Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. -  I do believe that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and also love our enemies - and this piece of trash shows no love whatsoever.  Now I'm not one of those who sticks their head in the ground and believes the world is going to be all rosy and we'll join hands one day to sing kum-ba-yah, but I do believe that Jesus loved everyone and expects his disciples to do the same.  By loving and living the life Jesus taught us to live, we will be able to witness to the lost in the most effective way.  And if I get blown up in the process, then I will be with my Lord and Savior that much sooner.

Not all Christians practice Christianity.  Not all Jews practice Judaism.  And not all Muslims practice Islam.  Or radical Islam.  There are many Muslims in this country who can, yes, be good Americans.  They came here to become part of a society that is free and for the most part, unbiased.  Are there some that are violent and hateful -  we've seen that, so yes, there are.  But let's not judge an entire group based on the ones who practice evil.   As Christians, are we to be more concerned with being an American or being a follower of Jesus Christ?  Here's the article.......................... 

  CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?????

  This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to
finish. And send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our 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 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 MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.A.
