Okay, my fine friends...I resent my reply to this one but I want to send more. This is a bogus email going around so maybe you have seen it:
_______________
This was sent to me by a high school classmate who is married to an Episcopalian Priest.
Subject: Fw: Muslims
A friend sent this and I thought it might be enlightening. We don't need a revolt from within. This is something Americans wondered about for some time now: How & why do the Muslims hate us & everyone else so much? Doesn't their God teach them to love?Can a good Muslim be a good American? I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years (and hated every second of it no doubt.)
The following is his reply:
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia. (What's wrong with the moon? You hate the moon?)
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256) (If you're a fundie you are not allowed to read about other religions)
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. (And our allegiance is to money...Las Vegas here we come!)
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews. (Sorry, I'm a Jew and can't go visit St. Patrick's Cathederal with you. My religion forbids it." Actual quote from a girl who just married a Jewish guy and we were on a business trip in New York City.)
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. (Bush: "It's just a damn piece of paper.")
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. (Bush: "Heh, heh, it'd be a lot easier if this were a dictatorship...as long as I was in charge, heh, heh.)
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. (God is not so loving in the old testament...Take no hostages, kill all, even the animals)
Therefore after much study and deliberation (bet you haven't read a book since high school)....perhaps we should be very cautious (be very afraid) of MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. (Ha, ha, just wait till those 7,000 refugees come to your town!)
Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.
If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above statements, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.
Pass it on, Fellow Americans. The war is bigger than we know or understand! (You neither know or understand squat!)
