CAN A DEVOUT MUSLIM BE AN AMERICAN
PATRIOT AND LOYAL CITIZEN?
- Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is
to Akbar, the moon god of Arabia.
- Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is
to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran.
- Geographically, no. Because his allegiance
is to Mecca for he turns toward it in prayer five
times a day.
- Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam
demands that he make no friends of Christians and
Jews. Q. 5:51
- Politically, no. Because he must submit to
the mullah who teaches 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. Q 4:34
- Religiously, no. Because no other religion
is accepted by his Allah except Islamintolerance.
Q.2:256
- Intellectually, no. Because he cannot accept
the American constitution since it is established
on Biblical principles, because he believes the
Bible is corrupted.
- 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 dictatorial or autocratic
except Turkey.
- Spiritually, no. Because when we declare one
nation under God the Christians God
is a Triune God while the Muslims is one entity
called Allah, who is never a Heavenly
Father, nor is he ever called Love in
the 99 excellent names.
We are urged by the media and pluralists to avoid
intolerance and yield to religious pluralism. If we
do it, it will destroy us. If Christ Jesus is not
the only Way, the Truth and the Life, then the Gospel
is not really good news to the peoples of the world.
We are under orders from our great Commander in Chief
through the Great Commission to go into all the world
and make disciples of all nations. Our commission
is irreversible, irrepressible, irresistible and incredible.
We do it or die.

| WHAT CAN MUSLIMS DO TO DEMONSTRATE
THEIR LOYALTY TO AMERICA?
We are not exaggerating when we declare that Islamic
organizations in America have failed miserably in
convincing the American public of the outrage that
they claim most Muslim Americans felt over the horrors
of 9/11. No unified statement ever came condemning
the terror to this date? Individuals, yes. But no
national voice, yet!
- The numerous Muslim organizations along with
Muslim intellectuals, doctors and business men should
sign a statement condemning terrorism in the harshest
terms and proclaim it through the media for at least
30 days. Furthermore, they should write the Embassies
of their countries of origin asking their governments
to stop all persecution of non Muslims, especially
Christians.
- Muslims should establish a taskforce which
can provide the Federal government information and
assistance which will help prevent further attacks
or help the arresting of anyone participating in
future attacks.
- Muslims should raise funds to help the sufferers
of 9/11 as well as to assist the government in the
war against terrorism. When India was in a war with
their neighbors, a number of years ago, loyal Indians
gave of their silver and golden jewelry to support
the war effort. A recent survey revealed that the
average Muslim in the U.S. makes $50,000 a year.
- Muslims should join the armed forces to fight
in the war on terrorism, thus giving visible evidence
they are loyal citizens and not by-standers.
- Muslims should organize a massive demonstration
to march to ground zero, in N.Y. to publicly repudiate
Islamic terrorism. Each marcher could deposit a
postcard or a flower at the site of the murders.
A recognized Muslim leader could read a poem dedicated
to the memories of the nearly 3000 victims, then
everyone sing America the Beautiful
and the National Anthem.
- Muslim organizations should send a letter
of condolence and apologies to the families of each
victim. They should explain clearly that terrorists
do not speak for them and the 100 Quranic verses
which teach killing are not applicable to the 21st
century as they were to 7th and 8th centuries.
- If they are truly sincere, Muslim organizations
and Mosques may print and distribute bumper stickers
to their people which declare, Muslims for
America and against Islamic terrorism.
