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

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.

Those are government and academia buildings and not political buildings.

---

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.

---

We are free to say things that at times shouldn't be said; we are free to act like fools, we are free to make others distrust us.

---

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.

---

Yes, but that may be another subject.

---

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".

---

This is an example of what I am talking about. It is non-constructive rhetoric.

The United States hasn't been a "Judaeo-Christian nation" in years. If anything, Islam is simply filling a void that has been left when the U.S. became a post-Christian society.

In 1997 Pim Fortuyn (the murdered Dutch politician) wrote a book titled "the islamization of our culture". It describes how the Judeo-Christian influence on our culture is undermined step by step by islam. This book, his tv-broadcasted discussion with an imam who said that homosexuals where a danger to our society and his quote "islam is a backwards culture" made him famous after 9/11.

The more we look around ourselves in the Netherlands, the more we find out it is true. And the left is assiting them taking over.

....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.

Oh, you mean like our enemy does?

There will come a point of civil war.

Not sure this is the same book.. The one I was talking about was written by three brothers. I would think their names would be the same.. I'll check it out.

[Texas Mom]

I was right.. That is the wrong book.. It's this one.

"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge"- Hosea 4:6

One of my favorite verses from the Bible...I find myself quoting it several times a day.

Luckily more and more Americans are willing to speak out. Our own stupidity may cost us lives, but in the end we will defeat the enemy of Islam just as we have defeated all our previous enemies. America will always prevail.
