This little ditty surfaced around the time of the 9/11 attacks, and considering what has taken place at Fort Hood in the past 24 hours I thought it was time for it to get some more press time.
"Can Muslims be good Americans?"
"Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen? Consider this:
Theologically: No, because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Scripturally: No, because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically: No, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially: No, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically: No, because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically: No, because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
Religiously: No, because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Intellectually: No, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically: No, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually: No, because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish...it's still the truth. If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above, perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country."
I don't know who wrote this, but I'd sure like to know so I can send him a congratulatory e-mail.
Honestly, I have a VERY difficult time trusting the motives and intents of those of the Muslim faith. Considering all of the bloodshed, violence, and death that's been doled out by those of the Muslim faith in the past eight or nine years, how can I feel otherwise? And for those bleeding-heart liberals out there who are going to chide me that I shouldn't feel that way towards all Muslims because "not all Muslims are terrorists," my reply is, "Maybe not, but all terrorists are Muslims."
On top of that, if this latest atrocity were committed by a white guy who was Roman Catholic, would anyone defend his religion? I doubt it.
I have read the Qu'aran; actually, it's sitting on the small shelf of my computer desk to my left as we speak, so I know what it says and what it doesn't say. I've spent time in the Middle East and have worked side by side with Muslims, and I can honestly say that I've never met a more incompetent, lazy, unreliable, hypocritical and dishonest people in my entire life. I don't trust them at all, and I doubt that I ever will.
And maybe, just maybe, one of these days the rest of America will open their eyes and see things for the way they really are.
But I ain't holding my breath on that one.

The Revolution Has Begun!
The first shots in the newest American Revolution have been fired, and they were fired in Virginia and New Jersey. These are the two states who just had gubernatorial elections, and in both states the sitting Demoncratic (no, I didn't misspell it) governor was defeated by his Republican rival.
In Virginia the positions of Governor, Lt Governor, and Attorney General were all won by Republicans, the first time this has happened since 1997 and the end of the administration by Virginia's first - and so far, only - black governor. (Don't get me started on Doug Wilder.)
In New Jersey, incumbent millionaire John Corzine was defeated in what's being called an upset by his Republican challenger, and to be honest, I'm not at all surprised. I was living in New Jersey when Corzine was first elected, and he got elected for one reason and one reason alone: he was a multi-millionaire and was able to spend more money - his PERSONAL money - on his campaign than his challenger. Simply stated, Corzine bought the election. His Republican challenger at the time warned the people of New Jersey that Corzine was going to be a typical "tax and spend" Demoncrat, and time has proven this prediction to be true. The people of New Jersey have gotten tired of Corzine, so now he's looking for another job.
Both of these elections are being called indicators of Obama's popularity and presidency so far, and with good reason. Both these states were carried by Obama during the last presidential election, with Virginia being a surprise win. Now, just a year later, the people of those formerly Demoncratic states have abandoned the Demoncratic party and voted in Republicans.
Sure sounds to me like the people are speaking with their votes, and I, for one, am getting the message loud and clear.
And if you've been paying attention, you've noticed that the Obama administration is playing the same old political "hide and seek" games of every administration before it. The Great Pretender traveled to New Jersey last week to campaign for John Corzine, throwing his full support - and, of course, the intended support of all of the people who voted for Obama - behind the Demoncratic candidate. But after both Demoncratic candidates lost the election and the Obama administration was asked how the President felt about it, the reply was that the President "wasn't following the election results" and had no comment.
Guess that's what happens when you back a losing horse, huh?
I agree with the opinion that this is a clear indicator of America's feelings about the current Demoncratic-controlled White House and Congress. Lots of promises were made by Obama, Biden, and Pelosi, and so far the record of promises kept is dismal at best. America was promised "change," and so far nothing much has changed. Seems to me that America is now telling Obama that they're going to give him and his bunch of Demoncratic cornies some change of their own.
And I, for one, can't wait.
True, these were only two states out of fifty, but every revolution starts with a single shot - or two. In the next few years a lot more states are going to have gubernatorial elections, and next year is the Congressional elections. THAT should be tons of fun all the way around!
I see "change" coming, that's for sure. I see a change in the Congress from Demoncratic-controlled to Republican-controlled, and two years after that I see a change in who's sitting in the White House. And I intend to do MY part in this next American Revolution.
To Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and all the other Demoncrats in Washington, I say this: hang on to your asses, ya'll, because "change" is a-comin'...and you ain't gonna like it!
