On Defining Religion [Islam is a Quasi-Religious Political Movement]
Gatestone Institute ^ | 2/12/2017 | Nonie Darwish

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said that President Donald Trump's 90-day ban on immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries is "a religiously based ban," and "if they can ban Muslims, why can't they ban Mormons." This has become the position of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, which has influenced not only the American public but has convinced the majority of the world that America is "bad." How can we blame the world, and even a good segment of American citizens, for hating America when such disingenuous and misleading claims are aired to the world from US officials and broadcast by American television channels?

The majority of the world does not understand that much of the American media is in a propaganda war against the Trump Administration simply because he names Islamic jihad and would prefer to see a strong and prosperous America as a world leader, rather than to see a dictatorship -- secular or theocratic -- as a world leader. He ran as a Republican; meanwhile, Democrats and the mainstream media refuse to engage in respectful and legitimate debate on the most vital threat to Western civilization in the twenty-first century: Islam. Truth has become irrelevant; people seem to prefer a political game of tug-of-war to sway public opinion against the Trump Administration, and, presumably, to elect Democrats forever. That is how the system is set up.

Political discussions on television have become extremely frustrating; they have turned into shouting matches and name-calling at the least informative levels. Television hosts often become instigators and participants in the shouting matches. The thinking is apparently that the louder they get, the more attractive the program will be. Meanwhile everyone is talking at once; the viewer cannot hear anyone, so the program could not be more boring...

600 years after the arrival if Judeo-Christianity to the shores of Europe and the Middle East, dark forces created Islam as a rebellion against the Bible and its values. Judeo-Christian truth spread in Europe and the world because it is true, and it is not coercive, relying on people's sensibilities and reason. To combat this, Satan developed a totalitarian religio-political system that does not allow reason, sensibility, cognitive faculties, or public discourse, but rather strict adherence under threat to beheading. The West does not understand that government control is central to Islam, and to be a Muslim is to acknowledge and demand life only under an Islamic government.

Because Mormons don't go around enslaving and murdering.

In reading the article this jumped out at me as being false.

It seems our President and his advisors are clueless as to the desires, doctrines, and distinctives of Islam

Then I looked a the date of the article, it was written before Trump became President.

So this does not apply to Pres. Trump who has around him Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Dr Sebastion Gorka who are knowledgeable about Islam and its deceptive practices. -Tom

With the advisors he has put around him, Dr. Sabastian Gorka, Bannon, and Michel Flynn , I would say he does. -Tom

Rep Ellison either conveniently forgot, or never knew, that in the mid-19th century, the governor of Missouri DID ban Mormons from the state, going so far as to issue an extermination order.

Islam needs to be eradicated as an ideology and the way to do that is expose the truth about Islam.
ISIS is practicing Islam exactly how Mohammed did and instructed in his book.

This is what the “religion” really looks like.

Just as Nazism is now unacceptable, so must we make Islam.

Mohamed was a politician who authored “religious” excuses, as if authored by G-d, for why his politics should be followed. When he was not well received, and thus could not get control, he fled, only to return, militarily, and force subjugation on those who opposed him. HE laid out the political and military pattern of subjugation his followers copied for centuries after him.

It is ludicrous for Muslims to even think, given the history of Mohamed alone, that their fine words about Yeshua the prophet (never Christ the Savior and Messiah), make any positive comparison for Islam with a religion founded on Christ, who even refused to permit to His followers to take up the sword in His own defense.
