Can Muslims be good Americans?
I do not know who the author of this article is or if it’s correct or not, I would like to auteniticate it with valid comments.
Can a good Muslim be A good American?
This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years..
The following is his reply:
Theologically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon
God of Arabia.
I as a hindu have allegiance to over 33 crore devi and devtas. the list is so long that I tend to show allegiance to any deity with a name sounding remotely familiar. However I certainly have nothing to do with Christian God or gods, for their names are not familiar hindu sounds.
As such I can’t be a good american.
Religiously - no. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah
Except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)
Religiously I can’t be an american for I am Hindu. In fact I don’t know even if hinduism is a religion. My faith is divided into a myriad variety of faiths. I am confused which one is mine and which one not. The Naga in nagaland worships some xyz god. Let me call him (hooga baba). Now I don’t know whether hooga Baba has ever been mentioned in any of the religious scripture but yet the last word “Baba” sound certainly Indian and I tend to adopt Hooga Baba into vast hindu pantheon. However Christ, Mohd, Allaha are certainly not in my religious scripture nor are there words of an Indian language. As such I can’t connect with them. Hence I can’t be a good american.
Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of
Islam and the Quran.
Well which scripture are you talking about? My religion does not have a single book. Most of my religious scripture were produced in India and apply to Indian way of life. Its not considerate to ethos and value of American culture. As such I can’t be a good american.
Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he
Turns in prayer five times a day.
My allegiance is to holy places spread all over India.None of my holy places are in USA. . I pray to sun god every morning as such face east to pray everyday. ( East in US lies in same direction as Mecca.. did someone tell the author that world was round!!) Hence I can’t be a good american
Socially - no. . .. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make
Friends with Christians or Jews .
Socially I can’t because my religion categorically forbids me to have any relation with a Beef eater or someone who slaughters a Cow. This is the worst kind of deed a human can do. As such I can’t respectfully interact with Jews, Muslims, or Christians. Hence I can’t be a good american.
Politically - no. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual
Leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction ofAmerica,
The great Satan.
Politically I must submit to an army of Sants and Babas and Gurus who have sex while in trance and hence I can’t be a good american.
Domestically - no. .. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and
Beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 )
Domestically No because I have no prescribed limit on number of wives I can take or for that matter number of husbands that a hindu woman can take. My religious luminaries have said “Dol, dhoor nari, yeh sabb tadav ke adhikari” ( Drum , cattle and women are all fit for a beating).
Hence I can’t be a good american.
Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the American
Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the
Bible to be corrupt.
As a hindu I can’t accept any constitution thats based of any other religious book than mine.
As I consider my religious book to be far superior than others. Hence I can’t be a good american.
Philosophically - no. . . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does
Not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot
Co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
As a hindu I feel wester Philisophy is too inferior for me even to take a look. Their philosphery have been finding ways of materialistic life while our seers have been looking beyond the world. My philosophy is based on karma and re-birth both of which are not recognised by western men. As such I can’t be a good american.
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 Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99
Excellent names.
What the hell, a nation under just “one” god!!! How can a hindu with a huge pantheon of gods ever imagine this. How come my “Isht Devta” not preside over the entire nation?
Under such circumstances I can’t be a good american
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. You had better believe it. The more who understand
This, the better it will be for our country and our future.
The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. ….
Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.
SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Political Correctness cannot withstand even the first test of Logic, the “Self-Contradictory” exam.
The following is a classic example:
Personally, I am sick of recently hearing so many comments about how there are “good muslims” out there. Why? Because you have to consider what that silly rhetoric actually means.
If they are good muslims, by definition we assume that they are true to their professed religion. Saying that someone is a “good Christian” would mean that, right? That’s certainly what their religious teachers and leaders would say.
Being a good Christian would mean that you obey the dictates of your faith, and don’t kill people.
Being a good muslim would mean that you obey the dictates of your faith, and do kill people.
So are muslims only “good” if they disobey the teachings of their own faith by refraining from killing infidels? Or if they obey their faith and kill us infidels? Huh? Is this not automatically a breach of integrity, and a conflict of morals and ethics?
And when things get real, which “good” will they choose, the one they were taught as a core belief and claim to hold dear, or the one they adopted superficially to get along in mixed society?
Exercise:
The next time you turn on the idiot tube (TV) or radio and listen to the political gibberish that gets thrown at you, write down exactly what was said (precise words), and then define them all (try both the dictionary and Black’s Law, and watch for grammar that can alter meanings) and analyze carefully what it actually means. Then compare that to the emotional response that they apparently expected to generate in your mind (and perhaps did) when you heard those words, and you will start to get a handle on the extent of the purely nonsensical propaganda that we are bombarded with daily. Until we put a spotlight on BS and hold the speakers accountable, truth will continue to be a rare commodity.
No more tolerance for lies.
Absolute junk.
What you did not ask was :
are you willing to slaughter millions of innocent people for the sake of your faith.
the answer would be obvious, and there my friend you will know the difference between your isht devta and a jihadi.
