Religious Dogma or Political Manifesto?

Islam it is not simply a religion. It is a political philosophy and a statement of the cultural norms of many Muslims

Islamic leaders are playing all of us, constantly using our nation’s respect for religion, all religions, against us.

As long as we treat Islam as a religion, and only a religion, they have the advantage. It would be politically incorrect for anyone to criticize a religion, even if that religion aims at subverting our form of government, our laws and our way of life.

Would criticism of Islam still be “off limits” if Islam itself wasn’t allowed to define itself solely as a religion?

What if we looked at Islam as having only the patina of a religion and much more evidence of a political philosophy and codification of a culture that is mired in the ninth century?

Mohammed was very clever in the way he founded and marketed his new government/religion combination. I believe this was deliberate back then and is still the mode of operating today. There is much of this going on in the US. I don’t trust the Saudis unlike the Bushes.
