Agree, I wasn't very clear in expressing what I wanted to state.
Simply, "Religion and Politics cannot mix."
A precise legal definition of the term "religion" must be devised to eliminate the challenges posed by Islam/Sharia which is primarily political.
The problem with all Western laws regarding ‘freedom of religion’ is that they are derived from a Christian understanding of what a religion is. Islam is a juridical imperialist utopian nightmare…tyrannical and murderous. To the extent that a religion demands the submission of its non-adherents to its dictates, or advocates violence or other activities contrary to the laws of a free society, it is not to be viewed as a religion. Freedom in all free societies is always limited to freedom to do those things that don’t impinge on the rights and freedoms of others.
It is surprising how much of the Islamic doctrine (found in three texts: Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and Hadith (stories and anecdotes about Mohammed)—the Islamic Trilogy) is political.
Approximately 67% of the Meccan Koran and 51% of the Medinan Koran is political. About 75% of the Sira is about what was done to the kafir. Roughly 20% of the Hadith is about jihad, a political act. Even the Islamic concept of Hell is political, not religious.
