The author insists Islam cannot be seen only as a religion, and then in one section only uses the religious element to scaremonger:
In 2017, the Quran was used for the first time to swear in a new U.S. congressman, Keith Ellison. He was a former spokesperson for the Nation of Islam and became the second highest leader of the Democratic National Committee. Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) followed in January of 2019 by wearing a traditional Palestinian robe and took the oath on Thomas Jefferson’s translated version of the Quran.

A number of U.S. public schools are commemorating Muslim holidays and holding Islamic prayers toward Mecca. Rocky Mountain High School in Colorado in 2011 became the first school in the United States to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic.

Revolutions of the deepest kinds always begin with our children.

He seems to disagree with religious freedom. I won’t say there aren’t problems with Sharia law. What I will say is this could have been pointed out in a much less sensationalised way. It’s just unnecessary and the clickbaiting of the headline undermines valid concerns about Sharia law. If only there wasn’t so much interest in simply generating views.

Islam is a complete system. it supersedes every other system that is in conflict with it.
 
It’s usually a very cold day when I agree with what may be considered outside my camp, but I AGREE.

It is indeed a religion that has not evolved into modern civility and holds on to thoughts of jihad that I offer as example.

Save the comparison of the old Testament. I fail to see Jews stoning adulterers or killing those that work on the Sabbath.

This “faith” will find very few of their own that speak against it’s atrocity’s that remain in practice including that of female mutilation.

Sharia law? puhleeze, how progressive. I’m against it as much as I’m against suicide bombing.
 
“Islam is incompatible with the laws and principles of the United States”

Wasn’t that being said about Catholicism when JFK was running?
 
Catholicism doesn’t assume a theocracy, the tenants of the faith render unto God what is God’s and Caesar what is Caesars. We don’t find problematic schisms between Christianity and politics in wanting our own laws to govern us because of our faith.
  1. The fight/talk over building a mosque on the site was the wake up call I needed.
Fundamentalism of all stripes has been heralded as incompatible with civility by our Holy Father, yet I don’t see the most extreme evangelical fundamentalists stating someone ought die if they leave the faith, or we need to promote a jihad against the heretical infidels.

No one predominantly stands out to me from the Islamic community that has stood up against the monsters that permeated their religion

The majority of Muslims live well in democracies and reject the militants who are against freedom.

Not that it should need to be said, but the comparison between Islam and Catholicism falls apart. One contains the fullness of all Truth and was handed to humanity by God himself in Jesus Christ. The other is Islam.
 
Yes now. Found in Islam.

I’m pretty progressive and that includes not being blind.

Even Christians outwardly give lip service to humanitarian crisis’ seen in homelessness and at the borders, but within their own private circles many still believe this is a result of not choosing the right road to betterment, laziness, or not following a law that we all might ignore if it meant choosing life over death.

With Islam they perpetuate this religion, remain in their own circles ( Dearborn, MI) and their leaders haven’t expressed that the violent tenants of the faith that was written in the 7th century have expired…for lack of a better word.

In summary: We’re not putting people to death in the name of God within Judaism or Christianity.

Some of us would be in a fit of rage if beheadings were happening in Vatican City.
 
Exactly. Catholicism was a theocracy and/or supported theocracy for about 1,000 years. You can still find proponents of Catholic theocracy right here on this forum. There are also some Islamic theocrats, but most Muslims do not live under theocracy or support theocracy.
 
The government of The Islamic Republic of Iran is a theocracy.

hint: It’s in their name
 
And those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

But it is interesting to see the expanding of topics, if not competence of what once was a pro-life news site. I look at it as homeopathic news. The more diluted it becomes, the more its believes think it works.

The article is not news. It is not about life. It is a web site. They are 33% on task.

Lifeswite sowing xenophobia and racism. Must be getting their cue from Breitbart.

The defense of “culture” and “way of life”.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Nowadays persons see xenophobia and racism in everything and as a democratic voter who believes we need to do something about our part in global warming yesterday, the need for gun control in common sense fashion, and an advocate of universal health care I cry when I see political correctness choking my party.

If the hierarchy of the Catholic faith enjoined an army today to plan suicided bombers, mass killings including hospitals and civilians, and death to American in the name of Catholicism…I’d be just as against my own faith.

The topic was “laws and principles” not love towards all persons of a different faith and should we… It begged the question is it compatible…No. It’s not.
 
Thank you.

I wouldn’t want the law of the land to be Sharia implementation. That should do it, seriously.

I stand with democrats all the way, but the tenants of the Faith of Islam could stand evolution. The rest of us have. It’s only civil.
