Can a Muslim be a Loyal American?

60

Is it possible for a Muslim to be both a true believer to his religion as well as a sincere citizen of the United States of America? I will present the evidence, and you, the reader, should draw your own conclusion. Shortly after my arrival in this blessed welcoming land, I found myself reciting the following:

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I was not exactly a diehard Muslim. In fact, I was not a Muslim at all. Yet I was raised in a Muslim country and was familiar with the Islamic ethos.

Story continues below advertisement

As it is my habit, I began to examine the issue. I encountered several serious problems. The points presented below are not exhaustive, yet they clearly answer the question.

Loyalty. A Muslim’s loyalty is to the Islamic ummah that recognizes nothing other than one worldwide ummah of Islam, with no allowance for independent nationalities.

Subscribing to the Law. A Muslim is required to abide by and live under the laws of Sharia, and not by the Constitution of the United States of America.

Rule of Allah. The Pledge of Allegiance says, “one nation under God,” while a Muslim is required to be part of the ummah under Allah. It is critically important to realize that Allah is not the same as the Judeo-Christian God. The two are vastly different beings.

Justice and Liberty. The shield of justice and the life-sustaining air of liberty are constricted in Islam and their beneficence reserved primarily for Muslim men. Muslim women are excluded from the same rights. Additionally, under the Islamic ethos, Muslim slaves are further disenfranchised from their rights. Yes, slavery. It is thoroughly condoned and stipulated in the Islamic belief. And since Islam is impervious to reformation and Muslims view their belief as the best and immutable faith of their Allah, slavery is permissible. Treating even non-slave women as chattel is part and parcel of Allah-ordained law.

Muslims and Islamic apologists are impotent in refuting the inherent incompatibility of being a loyal American citizen and a true believer in Islam. Some of these people rationalize their argument by saying that the Jewish and Christian Bibles are also replete with discriminatory and unfair assertions.

The counter argument is that the Jews and Christians have long moved past those scriptural provisions and have cast off any and all justice- and liberty-stifling beliefs and practices. By contrast, in countries where Islam rules, Muslims tenaciously cling to and enforce their Stone Age Islamic laws and practices.

Admittedly, there are those who reject the Pledge of Allegiance altogether as an obsolete vestige of a bygone era, popularized by the fear of international Communism and the witch-hunt reactions of McCarthyism.

While I respect and indeed celebrate the freedom of people to hold and express different viewpoints, I disagree with this position. No people can survive for very long without having a common bond. And all groups and nations all throughout history have faced forces that aimed to defeat and decimate them. Many groups and people have disappeared and others have formed and appeared in their places.

One thing we must understand. To be a loyal and faithful Muslim, one must adhere to and perform many rituals, as specified in the Quran by Allah and the Hadiths/Sunna, every waking moment of his entire life. Disobeying these rituals does not make one a moderate Muslim, but rather it would make him a non-Muslim, facing an uncertain future.

Because it is mandatory for a Muslim to adhere to Islamic laws and not to a man-made law such as the US Constitution, a Muslim can never be a both a Muslim and an American at the same time.

Hence, a Muslim is, first and foremost, an ummaist: a citizen of international Islam. So when a Muslim takes the American Pledge of Allegiance, he is either ignorant of the implication of his pledge or is willfully lying. Ignorance is never a valid reason in the court of law, and lying in the process of becoming a citizen is grounds for denying the application and even deporting the violator. Sadly enough, Taqiyya –– lying, or dissimulation — is not only condoned, it is recommended to Muslims in their scripture. Hence a Muslim can and would lie without any compunction, whenever it is expedient.

Presently, the American nation, largely free from the threat of international Communism, is facing a much more persistent and potentially deadly threat of international ummaism. Fear of any threat, as long as it is fact-based, is vital for energizing protective and proactive actions. And the multi-pronged threat of Islam is indeed very real and deadly.

As the author stated, he is not a moslem, wasn’t raised as a moslem, and is not from a moslem family. However, the author has a unique perspective on moslems, having been raised in a moslem nation (Irene) and being around them, during his formative years.

The answer to the question is “no” – for the following reasons.

A Muslim who is devout and faithfully observes the five pillars of Islam, and follows the way of the Koran, the Hadiths (traditions of Mohammed) and the Sira (life of Mohammed) cannot hold any other authority or way of life higher than Islam. Certainly no secular political document like the U.S. Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, and Islam strictly forbids the believer from following any competing religious system, such as Christianity. A Muslim who allows these things to supersede his faith is considered an apostate – and under sharia law, the penalty for apostasy is death.

A side-by-side comparison of the founding documents of the U.S. and western civilization on one hand, and the foundational sources of Islam – the Koran, Hadiths and Sira on the other – readily shows that the two systems of belief cannot be reconciled with one another, at least not without one or the other giving way and changing to accommodate the other. And the Muslims do not mean to compromise their beliefs in such a way, anytime soon. On the contrary, they plan to force westerners to accommodate to them, to accommodate to Islam and Muslims.

The only way a Muslim can be an American in any way, shape or form, is if he is a lax, unobservant believer – in other words, if he isn’t really a Muslim at all. The more-devout he is in his beliefs, the more-problematic adherence to the ideals of the U.S. specifically and western civilization generally, becomes.

There are, of course, Muslims born on American soil who can claim to be “Americans” from the standpoint of citizenship – but being born on American soil is insufficient, in and of itself, to make one genuinely American. Regardless of where a “citizen” is born, if he does not hold to American ideals, then he is de facto a foreigner residing on U.S. soil, a stranger in a strange land caught between two worlds.

No Muslim can ever be trusted! For example, look at Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. By all accounts he was the cool, popular kid who was a big-time pothead and dope dealer. By all accounts, on the outside he was as “unobservant” as one could be. However, we now know the truth; Islam was his blood and soul. I am more concerned with the Muslim who acts as though he’s unobservant than with the honest Muslim who doesn’t hide the fact that he wants to kill infidels.

Sure! So go ahead. let them in and employ them in hospitals, food preparation, water services, armed forces, police, the bureaucracy, security, airports and allow them to buy up all of the service stations and pharmacies(both number 1 & 2 in the al Qaeda textbook for obtaining explosives) and then wonder why a group who REFUSE to swear allegiance to a western state supposedly betray it. This is the classic snake/scorpion parable. You let them in so don’t whinge when they bite/sting you. I just wish that they would only do so to the leftist fools who let them in but even then the fools never learn.

Over the years, Muslims that served in our military, fought for our country, and died on the battlefield, were loyal Americans. Muslims that are loyal to our country and the constitution are very few in numbers, but do exist.

Is it worth putting OTHERS at risk when others in the military do NOT pose that risk?
Take Orlando Florida, how many people were murdered by ONE Muslim?
Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old security guard, killed 49 people and wounded 53 others in a terrorist attack.
Are Jews, Christians or others doing this as part of their “belief”? Of course not. ISLAM does.
I absolutely do discriminate against MUSLIMS. Np matter where Muslims are, they can not get along and cause problems and it is stemmed from their RELIGION!

We give American passports to anyone!!! Check it out: An Israeli-American man has been named by Taiwanese police as a suspect in the gruesome drug-related murder last week of a Canadian citizen found dismembered in a local park. Oren Shlomo Mayer, 37, a tattoo artist, businessman and English teacher who was born in Israel and grew up in the United States, has been living and conducting business in Taiwan for several years and in July 2017 opened a tattoo parlor in Taipei.

Again Mr. Amani writes with intellect, heart and soul. I commend him for his willingness to face reality and espouse it freely. The words that screams out to me that he used in this article is ‘inherent incompatibility.’ I have also been making the same observations for numerous years. Europe seems to be finally coming to that same conclusion, as it now begins to recognize that the cultures from which the immigrants come from preclude these immigrants from being able to assimilate into the cultures of the indigenous people of the European nations. Those differences make for inherent incompatibility. Though I still believe that our immigration laws need to changed to make a vetting effort to take into account an immigrants ability to assimilate and rule out inherent incompatibility, and therefore provide entry to only those who have their lives and livelihood at stake, and are unburdened by a culture or belief system that precludes them from assimilating into what it means to be a loyal American citizen, compassionately referring them to nations that might be more appropriate for them as immigrants, the bottom line is that we need to reform our laws to account for the differences within cultures that make an open door policy both dangerous and unworkable. Like the Jews and Christians and other immigrants who emigrated here previously, we also must expect today’s immigrants to place their religious and cultural beliefs secondary to the notion that they must accept our secular system of our culture as the pathway to assimilation. If they cannot do that, they must be kept out as they will bring with them only hate and belligerence, which we do not need here. My comments may be simplistic, but they are not intended to be racist or bigoted, but merely a reasonable approach to reality.

America is also in danger from Communism promoted by Democrats. The party is going in that direction. Soros is apparently a communist and he “ owns”!the party ( as SNL joked some years ago – in a more innocent time). A lifelong Democrat ( who walked away in 2004) , I am now terrified by the Democrats. As the saying goes , the party left me. It gets worse every year. Soon they will be promoting Farrakhan for political office. How can Schumer stand it?

“Can a Muslim be a Loyal American?” Rather, the question should be: Can a moslem be human being? The answer to that is somewhat tricky. If that moslem TRULY becomes an ex-moslem .. they can BECOME a human being. However, then they’re NO LONGER a moslem … so, the answer to the question is NO. They are NOT human beings, but they can become a human being.

47:4 Behead and slaughter the unbelievers; take others captive
“When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.”

Islam is the most dangerous thing that the world has ever faced, Stalin and Hitler were insignificant compared to the engulfing and mendacious tentacles of Islam

Islamic culture is based on shame and honor, and a high illiteracy rate to impede progress. Their greatness will come when all vestiges of advanced societies are destroyed.

You say “I was not exactly a diehard Muslim. In fact, I was not a Muslim at all. Yet I was raised in a Muslim country and was familiar with the Islamic ethos.” Can you clarify if you still identify as a “Muslim” as if it were some sort of “ethnicity” or have you removed yourself in toto from Islam and from the Ummah and identify yourself as an ex-Muslim apostate? Isn’t the solution to the scourge of Islam for the multitude of Muslims to become apostates…at least in the West? Apostates in Islamic dominated countries would be killed. So clarify if you are an ex-Muslim apostate Amil o/w you’re a heretical Muslim like Dr. Zuhid Jasser who pretends that Islam can be reformed.There is no honor as still identifying yourself as a Nazi if you don’t believe in Nazism.
