U.S. government promotes religion -- Islam

From 1998 forward the federal courts have strangely turned a blind eye on Islam by giving it a dual dimension it does not deserve. The courts have chosen to view the most militant religion in the world as a philosophical rather than a theological system.

The above quote is from an amazing article, Education Jihad -- Surrendering our schools systems to Islam, by Jon Christian Ryter. Below is a small portion of that article:

The Constitution of the United States does not provide any individual in, or agency of, the federal government with the legal prerogative to restrict any American citizen's right to worship God in any manner that citizens chooses. More important, the federal government is barred by the Constitution from showing favoritism or disdain to, or for, any religion, or mandating that the people of the United States either practice a specific religion, or be forcibly indoctrinated in any religion's doctrine.

The Constitution does not stipulate—nor even imply—that a legal or moral wedge should separate the tenets of Christianity from the principles of law other than to mandate that "...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." All of the restrictions contained in the 1st Amendment were placed on the government. None were placed on the people. Yet, the United States government has flip-flopped the intent of the 1st Amendment and now places all of the restrictions on the people—but only if the restricted class of people are Christians. [snip]

Prohibiting a Christian from openly worshiping Jesus Christ because it offends an atheist or is viewed as blasphemy by a Muslim is not a right possessed by any court or any judge—or any Congressman or Senator—in this land. The Constitution is very specific in this area. Any federal judge who trips over the wording of the 1st Amendment should not be allowed to remain on the bench. The Bill of Rights is "Constitution 101." [snip]

The United States Department of State launched a series of web pages on the US government's official State Department website in Oct., 2002 that extol the virtues of Islam as the fastest growing religion in the United States. When I reported the web address and the content of the web page in 2002—and another Muslim web page in 2004—thousands of angry Christian Americans flooded the State Department with emails. The web page was pulled in four to five hours—or so I thought. In reality, the State Department merely changed the URL making it appear the page was pulled. The new URL was http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/. Throughout President George W. Bush's entire "war on terrorism" the Islamic web pages have been part of the State Department's website. There has not been a single outcry from the American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU] that the US government is promoting a religion—which it is. There have been no outbursts from atheists that the US State Department violated the constitutional separation of Church and State by openly promoting a religion. Those who hate Christianity have been mute. So, also, have been the advocates of Christianity who should be asking the Bush-43 Administration why the Department of State has devoted a portion of its website to extolling the virtues of Islam.

You should read the entire article, it confirms what I have believed for some time now.

There is no common ground between Islam and Christianity. And, there is no common ground between Islam and Judaism. And finally, there is also no common ground between Islam and atheism. Islam has no interest in finding common ground with any other religion nor with the free enterprise system. Nor does Islam have any interest in preserving the American way of life. If that is so, why does the US government, its educational system, and the American media go to such lengths to coddle Islam? (Jon Christian Ryter)

Related, read "Islam in America: A Special Report" at Texas Fred's. (This story is a pre-release from Newsweek Magazine (article here), and will be published in their July 30, 2007 Issue… American Dreamers) Texas Fred has excellent commentary on the article. Texas Fred says:

My issue is the Muslims in America that are in the process of forcing their beliefs on everyone else, the Borg Mentality that says you will be assimilated or you will die, in other words, a religion of peace that is NOT, a religion that demands that they be allowed to worship in their own way but don’t afford that same freedom to others, even in OUR own land… (more)

"why does the US government, its educational system, and the American media go to such lengths to coddle Islam?"

Fear of Islamists.

Well, that was one scary article.

Don't you just love it?

Islam is an ideology of armed conquest.

Not all Muslims buy in to all aspects of Islam, but that's what Wahhab's movement and Khawarij have always been about -- bringing Muslims back to the "olde-tyme religion" and getting the jihad moving forward again: "either you're with us, or you're with the infidels" ----

The main thing we need to stop is giving permission to Bush's Buddies in Saudi Arabia to use Kingdom money to build more mosques, and to equip those mosques with a Medina-trained mullah extolling the virtues of fighting for the cause of Allah (Jihaad).

Could you imagine allowing Hitler or Stalin to establish institutions in the US with their government's money preaching the destruction of the Jewish people or World Revolution? That's exactly what we are doing with Saudi Wahhabism.
