U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rules AFDI Islam ad is political
Geller: opinion is “tortured and twisted.”

I like know how they found it offensive to offer safe haven to those leaving an religion. If islam is political then it deserve to lose any tax-exempt status.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY OF LIBERAL AMERICANS!!
Our country is divided between blue states and red states and anyone who supports the blue states just doesn’t get it! They don’t get that Islam is at war with us; they don’t get that Obama has been an abject failure and is destroying our country; they don’t get that activists like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Geert Wilders, and many, many other brave patriots are actually fighting on the front lines every day to protect and defend OUR Constitution and American way of life!!
Here it is just two days away from the most important election since WWII and all polls nationwide are showing a statistical dead heat!! 48% Obama and 48% Romney!!! This tells me that almost half of Americans don’t have a clue!! Their attitude seems to be: National debt off the charts? No problem! Downsizing our military? No problem! Apologize to Islam all around the world? No problem! Turn America into a socialist/communist state? No problem! Run unemployment up, up, up? No problem! Alienate our friends and allies abroad? No problem! Continue to allow the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood and all of their front organizations (CAIR, MSA, NAIT, MANA, ISNA, ICNA, BAMA, NAIF, just to name a few) not only unimpeded but eagerly assisted? No problem!! It it goes on and on…
Liberals and all of those who support Obama are, just like Obama, are quislings to their own country! Treason! Sedition!
If Obama gets re-elected after all that he has done, you can kiss America goodbye.

America, what have you wrought?

Let ’em call it political. They have now set a precedent that says we can never accept sharia law or judgements in our court system, as it is not a religous system, as with the Jews, but A POLITCAL system. It also clears the way for turning down nearly any request to be treated differently on the basis of religious requirements — time for prayer, special dress, holidays, etc. — because it has been established that they do not have any more special rights than a communist of a libertarian, for that matter.

Well, if Islam is political, then maybe the U.S. Constitution should no longer protect it as a religion.

I’d like to understand the rational behind the court’s decision that this ad constitutes “political speech”. It certainly speaks much more to religious difference than a political one. Of course, like the Circuit Court, the world of Islam draws no distinction between the political and religious spheres.
I rather doubt that if this ad were directed toward the Church of Scientology, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or the Wiccans, that the Circuit Court would have ruled it “political”. If I am correct in that surmise, why the difference for Islam?
Can AFDI entertain the idea of appealing to the Supreme Court? I would hope some of the heavy hitters on the right (e.g. the Institute for Justice) would assist if AFDI goes that route, but it might require the support of individuals.

Kufar Dawg is absolutely on to something here! Islam is mostly a political ideology masquerading as a “religion.”
Islam is waging a stealth jihad (political) campaign against America (and the West in general) using our own First Amendment protection of (religion) as a shield!
Even within Islamic core ideology, the small “religious” component (Mecca) of Islam has been abrogated to the much larger political (Medina) component. So, even the Muslims agree and know that political Islam always takes priority!
Even though Islam is a dualistic ideology (two contradictory things can be true at the same time), any rational person can see that Islam is really a totalitarian supremacist political ideology that does not deserve protection under our First Amendment.
