Our United States Constitution is Being Used Against Us
A Constitutional Amendment is Needed to Contain and Restrain Radical Islam in the US
As we watch Britain and other European nations in their efforts to contain civil disruption, rampant crime, and calls for genocide from their Islamic minorities, we in America are put on notice. Our foundational institutions and freedoms are being used against us by a violent cult of savages intent on taking over our nation for Islam. The same forces that invaded Israel and butchered families, burning thousands of people out of their homes are coming to the US, indeed are already here.
In this country, a religion is a belief system that involves a relationship between God and people. A religion can be studied and criticized, and if it is found wanting in its rational basis or its ethics, it can be reformed or enlightened, even modified or divided into denominations. Islam has instead presented itself as a unified racial construct, and any criticism of it is rebranded as bigotry, as if it were an immutable characteristic like skin color. While bigotry against Islam is condemned, Muslim bigotry against other people groups has not been addressed at any level.
Imams in the United States and Europe are preaching virulent Jew hatred, sexual violence against non-Muslims including children, calling for suppression of Christian and Jewish holiday displays and celebrations, enforcing Shariah law in private Muslim courts and in public recreational areas in Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Texas, and California. Why is this allowed? Because of Democratic institutions and the Constitutional rights afforded to religions in America.
Such respect has been accorded to religion in the US because it has historically been a pro-social force for civilization. Religions typically teach mutual respect for the human rights of others and so promote a harmonious society. If a religion instead teaches intolerance and violence against others, it does not deserve the support of the public, our deference to its sacred status, or its protection under the law.
Most of the offending Imams are US citizens. Muslim immigration to the US has skyrocketed since 9/11, and our fear of being accused of Islamophobia has paralyzed common sense responses to this surge. Rather than enhancing our surveillance we grant protest permits. Rather than controlling immigration we offer student visas. We cannot allow Radical Islam to take political power in the US. We must establish immigration controls and a constitutional amendment to restrict Shariah law.
Our tradition as a free country is at risk. Our own values of free speech, equal protection, civil rights, and freedom of religion are being used against us. Immigration law must be strengthened to require full vetting with background checks including internet activity, phone records, and a background check on relatives, including those relatives who are not immigrating to the US. Hate speech laws are seldom enforced in the setting of a “house of worship” and that has to change. Freedom of religion does not include a license to assault or threaten other people, yet our reticence to prosecute clergy has resulted in real harm done to real people.
The harm Muslim clerics teach is centered in the religion itself, not in any heretical interpretation or renegade sect. The religion itself, its founder and its texts teach Muslim superiority, sexual savagery, hatred and violence, tribal aggression, and attributes it all to God, with the power of a divine commandment. Dan Burmawi, an ex-Muslim and expert on Islamic theology puts it this way:
When a Muslim commits acts of terrorism, declares war on those who are different, rapes non-Muslim women, or subjugates others under Sharia law, is he acting against Islam’s teachings? No. He is following them.
When he beheads an infidel, he is obeying Quran 8:12: “Strike their necks.” When he kills non-Muslims who refuse to submit, he is following Quran 9:29: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah.” When he rapes non-Muslim women, he is doing what Muhammad and his own soldiers did, as permitted in Quran 4:24. When he seeks to dominate and impose Islamic law, he is acting on Quran 9:33: “It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religion.”
When other religions are removed from society, the evils they are blamed for do not necessarily disappear. But if Islam were removed, so would the terrorism, the jihad, the persecution of minorities, the religious tyranny. So no, not all religions are the same. Some bring light, some bring darkness.
Islamic schools teach their children florid lies about Jews, Christians, and people of other faiths. Hitler’s Mein Kampf is taught in their schools as a lesson in virtue and effectiveness. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is taught as fact and used as “proof” of the debauchery of Jews worldwide. The Muslim Brotherhood is extolled as champions of Islamic progress as their writings amplify Hitler’s genocidal cause. At the same time, the Holocaust and the murder of 6 million Jews is denied.
Virulent hate speech is often couched in the context of prayer, rendering it inseparable from the religious function of a house of worship. “Oh Allah, cause your enemies the Jews to be cast down and killed wherever they are. Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels, the usurping Jews, and every enemy of the Muslims.” Telling someone what they can and cannot pray is unthinkable to us as Americans. Yet incitement to murder is unthinkable in a prayer! There is no difference between Hamas hiding military bases under children’s schools, and Imams hiding calls to slaughter innocent people under the guise of “prayer.”
Constitutionally protected freedom of religion must be restricted and codified to prevent its abuse by Muslim clergy, even if that requires restrictions against Christian, Jewish, and other religious clergy, the content of prayer and preaching, the publication of religious texts and sermons, and the curriculum of religious schools.
Islam is a cult more than it is a religion.
1. A Cult doesn’t ask if a certain behavior is right or wrong, only whether it is commanded by its leader, Muhammad. Muhammad’s authority is unquestioned.
2. A Cult leader commands unquestioning control over all aspects of life, thoughts, words, actions, and relationships. Members are isolated from all outside influences and dissent is harshly punished. This is true of Islam.
3. A Cult allows no questioning, critical thought, or internal debate. Individual members are subjected to discipline and abuse if they challenge or leave the cult. This is true of Islam.
4. A Cult advances a New Revelation that distorts and denies previously accepted religious doctrine. Only the leader of the cult hears the supernatural voice and interprets the New Revelation. Reinterpretation by reformers is not permitted. This is true of Islam.
5. A Cult establishes strong in-group loyalty and out-group hostility, permitting deception, abuse, and degradation of out-group ideas and persons. This is true of Islam.
We must either redefine religion so that Islam no longer qualifies as a religion OR reform our freedom of religion laws before they are used to sanctify savage cruelty and murder as a protected entity in our Bill of Rights. Muslims have proven many times and in many places that they cannot be trusted with our civil rights.
Radical Islam is incompatible with American values, American social mores, American educational standards, and American civil law. It's up to Muslims to rescue Islam from its radicals. But it’s up to us to protect our society from Islam.
America needs a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit Shariah Law for 3 reasons.
1. Shariah Law allows Muslims to attack and kill non-Muslims to force conversion and to otherwise advance Islam, with the stated intent of establishing a world-wide califate and destroying the American government. This is the definition of insurrection.
2. Shariah Law permits sexual abuse and rape of non-Muslims, beating and robbery of non-Muslims, theft and property destruction of non-Muslims, and the destruction of houses of worship of non-Muslims. Shariah even if applied only to other Muslims is an attack on our values and morals. We do not permit child abuse, honor killings, and domestic violence against women, or death penalties for homosexuals and people leaving Islam, even if the victims are or were Muslim.
3. The campaign to advance the needed legal reforms and constitutional amendment will bring hate and violence out into the open. Muslims who truly desire to live at peace with non-Muslims will permit the regulation of their religion, even embrace it as proof of their benign intent. Those who destroy our American values, even if they are citizens, are not welcome to live freely in this country.
We cannot allow Muslims to operate Shariah courts even among themselves, as an internal affair, without horrific damage to our social conscience. Their Shariah Law subjugates women as property of their father or husband with no protection from domestic violence. Shariah Law not only permits but requires child abuse and genital mutilation of girls. Shariah Law demands the torture and execution of homosexuals and apostates, those voluntarily leaving Islam. Shariah Law not only permits but requires deception and violence in the interest of jihad, conquering nations and the subjugation of all non-Muslims to Islam.
Our efforts at Muslim appeasement have failed spectacularly all over the Western World. “Moderate” Muslims in the US congress and the European parliaments have not made any effort to control their constituencies, moderate the messages coming from Mosques and Muslim community centers, or synthesize Muslim laws and customs with the prevailing civil laws of their host nations. No organized reform of Islam is being conducted. No international body is resisting the Islamification of the United Nations or the International Court. Middle Eastern foreign powers are funding and promoting the chaos in our Western democracies with the stated goal of taking over our governments and their military powers, including nuclear powers.
And we are being betrayed by our own Western democracies, their limp wristed enforcement of our laws and strongly worded statements of no real consequence. Western governments are negotiating treaties with terrorists, academic institution are recruiting radical students and soliciting foreign donations, the media and many “influencers” have been bribed and are promulgating sympathetic copy of terrorist propaganda as if it were legitimate news source. Liberal institutions including civil rights organizations, women’s rights, and gay rights are folding on their own constituencies to support the natural enemies of those they supposedly represent.
The blowback against needed reform will be profound and violent. We must do it anyway. Failure to act against Shariah Law and Muslim Supremacy will cause far more violence if we wait until they are better armed and organized, as leaders of the police and military, and privy to our national security apparatus. Just the thought of Mamdani as mayor of New York, having access to FBI intelligence networks and control over the NY police department, gives me nightmares.
Our freedoms are even now being used against us, free speech, free assembly, and freedom of religion, together with thinly veiled threats of violence have us walking on eggshells. Professional protesters are coached in the circumvention of local laws, fed slogans and professionally produced signs, given drummers and supporting cast to intimidate their victims into silence. The consequences of inaction are clearly seen in Canada and Europe. Muslim belligerents control the streets, shake down businesses, bomb public transportation, riot in sports stadiums and prisons, and instigate violence against Jews.
We need to take action NOW because we have in President Trump an American President who can win this battle. In 3 years, it may be too late. A constitutional amendment is not a small thing. It is a long and contentious process and preparations must start NOW. Legal minds at the Supreme Court level, legislators at the local, state and federal levels, law enforcement, military and intelligence experts, and clergy of all faiths are required to write a comprehensive and enforceable Constitutional Amendment that protects genuine religion and forbids savagery, anarchy and barbarism dressed up as religion.
