Islam is more than a religion; It is a comprehensive way of life. The Quran (believed by Muslims to be God's word), and the Hadith (Mohammed's sayings as recorded by Al Bukhari), prescribe numerous regulations governing every aspect of the social, political, economical, as well as religious life. The belief that "Islam is a religion and a state" is an integral part of the Islamic religion.
Let's examine what Islam would do if it ruled America. What would happen to the values and institutions that we hold dear?
First: Liberty
The United States was built on the Bill of Rights, established by the founding fathers who came here to escape religious oppression. The Constitution gives citizens the right to express themselves as they please, to criticize the president if they believe he is wrong, to worship in the way they want and to act in any way they see appropriate as long as they don't violate the rights of others.
What would happen to this freedom in an Islamic state? Would the citizens be granted the right to choose the religion they want, or would they be forced into Islam according to the Quranic verse: "If any one desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost." (Surah 3:85). How about the right of a Muslim to change his own religion? Would he be given this right or would he be punished according to the apostasy rule which states that such a person should be punished by death? Mohammed said "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." Al Bukhari Vol. 9:57
Do Muslim activists want us to have the same rights granted to the citizens of an Islamic country such as Saudi Arabia, where women are not allowed to drive an automobile and no one can worship openly according to any religion other than Islam? Do they want us to be ruled by a ruler such as Khomeini, who issued an order to murder a writer, Salman Rushdie, just because he dared to criticize Islam ? Even in a moderate Islamic state such as Egypt, Christians have to obtain a presidential decree to be able to build a church. They face discrimination in all aspects of their lives, including education, employment and promotions.
Second: Democracy
Our present system in the USA gives the citizens the right to rule themselves, to write the laws that will govern their lives, to decide the amount of taxes to be collected from them and how it will be spent.
One important principle in this great system is the separation of church and state. Islam, however, is built on an opposing concept, for "Islam is a religion and a state." According to Islam, the Quran is the principal source of legislation: "We have sent down to thee the book in truth, that you might judge men as guided by God." (Surah 4:105). If the Quran is the law, what are some of the rules and regulations that will be imposed? Here are just a few examples:
Stealing: punished by hand amputation (Surah 5:38)
Adultery: punished by public flogging (Surah 24:2)
Drinking: punished by 40 or 80 lashes (Al Bukhari 8:770)
Resisting Islam: punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of the hands and feet (Surah 5:33)
Prisons in Muslim countries are known to be centers of torture rather than rehabilitation.
Third: Equality
Under our system in the United States, there should be no discrimination among citizens based on sex, color, religion or race. Would Islam treat men and women equally when:
It teaches that men are superior to women (Surah 2:228)
It gives men double the share of the women in inheritance? (Surah 4:11)
It gives the man double the value of a woman's witness in court? (Surah 2:282)
Would Islam treat non-Muslims fairly when:
The Quran calls on Muslims not to befriend Jews or Christians? (Surah 9:30)
The Quran imposes "Jizya" (tribute tax) on Christians and Jews that will be collected only from them and not from Muslims? (Surah 9:29)
Mohammed says that a Muslim may not be killed if he kills a non- Muslim. " No Muslim should be killed for killing a kafir (infidel or non- Muslim) ."Al Bukhari Vol. 9:50
Could Islam someday rule America?
Islam is the fastest growing religion in America. Today, the number of followers of Islam in the United States has reached 4 to 6 millions. It is a matter of time before Islam will become the religion of the majority. America, then will be labeled an " Islamic country ", ruled by the "Quran" and the "Hadith" or what Muslims call Sharia (The Islamic code of ethics).
My fellow Americans
The threat of Islam is real. More so than communism ever was, because with Islam, Muslim activists are willing to kill and to die for the cause of spreading their religion. This is called ""Jihad", a sacred duty for all Muslims to perform.
Get this message around. Stop the spread of Islam before it is too late.
Booze and S&M? Maybe 10 or 15 years ago, but I'm too old for such a culture now.
Think of the savings on car insurance.

This map was absconded from the World Islamic Mission website just before they removed it after 911.
...and there is precious little of it left(left lol, but it's not funny). Isn't it strange how were taxed yet founded on a tax revolt, no longer have a 'right' to 'bear' arms, and 'civil rights' is not color blind but racist. The government declares 'war' on everything, even its own people, and on things, just common things man has used for centuries. If there is a season for everything, then there must be a season of hypocrisy and betrayal as well. The alternative is islam, a rabid death-cult which the US thinks is 'peace', Voltaire would be aghast!
They will use our own libertarian beliefs and laws against us, to undermine our society, until the day comes when they are strong enough and numerous enough to declare sharia and sweep all that western decadence away.
Seems to me the threat is the same.
Their willingness to "die for the cause" is not unique to followers of Islime.
I agree. But the problem is that in a true Theocracy, this fundamental belief MUST be taught to the children in what schools are permitted to exist.
The problem is a virtual "catch-22". In order to break down the Theocracy, the society must be changed. In order to break down the society and culture, the Theocracy must be changed.
