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 Islam—intolerance. 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 Christian’s God is a Triune God while the Muslim’s 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.”
