Is America Turning Toward Islam And Losing Its Judeo-Christian Heritage?

Those are the names of some "Gods" that other people believe in — just as you believe in your "God". They all probably think that your "God" is garbage, as you think their "God" is.

God is God. not their god or our god etc. There is One God who died for our sins and his last words on the cross was. " It is finished". meaning, I did what needed to be done.

Mohommad preached a different god and not the one who died for our sins.

[Texas Mom]

Most people in this country are too lazy and selfish to adopt to the strict requirements of islam.

Or Christianity. ;)

[Kaslin]

There are no gods there is only one God and it isn't Allah

[Consort]

Anyone can have that opinion but not everyone believes it, so let's keep religion out of politics and give it the respect it deserves.

...and what those kids are forced to learn is as much our enemy as any terrorist--for the downfall of America is the plan no matter who brings it on, socialism or Islam!

[Inkie]

The thing about this SC program is that it is using a book that censors out all the violent Islamic beliefs that our enemies invoke when they justify their attacks on us. It is a deceptive whitewash, so the pretext that this is a legitimate stimulus for open discussion is completely bogus.

[Inkie]

See my Post #46.

[Inkie]

The other bogus element of this so-called course is that they do not include any other texts, such as some mentioned in this forum, that provide opposing views. What kind of openness is this? Political correctness is ruining this country and murdering the ability of young people to think critically.

[mombonn]

Or Christianity. ;)

Ain't it a shame? The eternal rewards are worth every minute of work! Actually, the joy of being a Christian right here and now is pretty wonderfulj.

[Salgak]

Agreed. The UNC course is almost certainly for "tolerance". That doesn't change the fact that having some good intel on Islam and how it works isn't a good thing. . .

You left out Jesus

[4CJ]

... accept his belief systems as equal to yours, when in fact it is not.

Correct. I don't know about you, but I have yet to find in any of my history books, or even online anywhere, of a single account of Muslims/Islamics sailing to America with the founders. None of the signers of the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, or the Constitution were Islamic. No state refused to ratify because of the state Constitutions espousing a sect of Christianity.

[Consort]

Yes, plus a lot of others. Just add your favorite(s) to the list.

That may be all well and good but as much as people don't want to say it out loud, this is a Holy war of people of a religion who want to destroy and or kill us. Jihad ( Holy war) has been decalared on us. How can we keep religion out of politics any easier than we can keep war out of politics.

Yes, religion/politics, war/politics, religion/war, etc. have merged — all to the detriment of humanity. We can all speculate about it, write about, report about it....but we don't have to fan the flames by insisting that "our" God is the only true God, that there is only one God, that "our" religion is superior to another, etc. That's what I mean by separating religion and politics.

[ClancyJ]

Religion and politics have merged time after time in history.

So, we are to not honor our God as our God because others do not like it? I care more what God thinks than what the "others" think about it. Are we to deny God His place of honor in our lives to please those that deny Him?

Something seems wrong with asking God to not be treated as God so that the unbelievers will be happy.

You know all the horror stories about that and the US is at the beginning of having serious religions/politics problems. Don't you see it coming?

Exactly what does that have to do with mixing religion and politics? You can do all of that much better by NOT mixing it with politics. Is that too difficult to grasp?

Non sequitur.

[ClancyJ]

If not mixing politics and religion means that God can not be mentioned in public buildings or schools, that the word Jesus is banned - then I will be for mixing them.

We may be facing a threat from the Muslims but that is no need to take all religion out of our schools, our buildings, our pledge. We have lived many, many years and formed this country with God's help - I think we still need His help and have the right to mention His name.

There is freedom of speech. There is freedom of religion and we intend to keep that no matter what Muslims, or any other group think about it.

I am frankly against all this PC nonsense. We are losing more civil rights over the Politically Correct agenda than any of the terrorist control efforts.

We are a tolerant nation and that means tolerance for our beliefs the same as for the beliefs of others. Muslims are not tolerant and I will not play into their hands and give my liberties away to make things less of a "problem".
