Islamists or Muslims: Same Goal

Submitted by Mike Ramirez (United States), Aug 17, 2016 at 00:41

If a Muslim is true to the faith of Islam, he/she will desire for the rule of Islam to dominate the world and subject Jews and Christians to second-class status, and believe that Sharia law should be the only law that governs mankind. In the ideology of Islam, there is the dar al Islam (House of Islam) and the dar al Harb (House of War). The obligation of Muslims (although not personally partaking in jihad) is to support those who do participate in jihad against the "Unbelievers".

Thus, the adherence to being true to the faith of Islam prohibits Muslims from assimilating in any society/culture that does not conform to the teachings in the Qur'an and Ahadith. That is why Islam and western/secular societies are not compatible as evidenced not just by societal upheaval that is happening in Europe, Netherlands and all across the Middle East (soon to increase in America) but by the historical record of how Islam spread and dominated societies before the end of the Ottoman Empire occurred. ISIS is only the tip of the iceberg for what we can expect in the future as long as the "JV Team" with its Fundamental Islamic ideology is allowed to enter into and begin to terrorize, influence and dominate any secular society including America.

Solution: Muslims must have a change of heart and a change of mind from the fundamental ideology they have been indoctrinated with that calls for hatred of Jews and the eradication of all infidels / unbelievers. However, the problem here is that once a Muslim begins to take Jews, Christians and unbelievers (Atheists) as friends and accept all people as equal they will then be deemed to be an apostate and can be targeted for honor killing by family, friends and the local Muslim community - according to Sharia law.

Can a Muslim in America honestly and publicly renounce obedience to Sharia Law, renounce the ideology that Islam must prevail and rule the world and, thus, agree to live exclusively obedient to the Constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights?
