CAN A MUSLIM BE A GOOD AMERICAN? Pastor Art Watkins of Coden Bible Church (Coden, Alabama) August 23, 2018 Can a Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a person who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply... Note: #1 -10 from the person who worked in Saudi Arabia. Note: #11 - 23 added by another thoughtful person. 1. Theologically - No, because his allegiance is to Allah. 2. Religiously - No, because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Qur'an 2:256) and if a person leaves the Muslim faith, they are put to death. 3. Scriptural - No, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an. 4. Geographically - No, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. 5. Socially - No, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews. 6. Politically - No, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan. 7. Domestically - No, because he is instructed to marry four women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34). 8. Intellectually - No, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. 9. Philosophically - No, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist! Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. 10. Spiritually - No, because when we declare 'one nation under God, we are referring to the God of Christianity - God Almighty, not Allah. 11. Morally - No, because Islam specifically teaches to overtly lie and deceive non followers (kafirs), in a practice called taqiyya. 12. Nutritionally - No, because common foods and diet, including alcohol, of the majority of Americans and Canadians, contains food and beverages against the teachings of Islam. 13. Culturally - No, because common Western clothing styles and traditions, dancing, western music, women driving cars, some animals (dogs), common holidays (Valentine’s, Christmas, Easter) women in public w/o the presence of a man, use of alcohol, homosexuality, all are not permitted by the Muslim tradition, while sexual aggression in public, public stoning and humiliation, arranged marriages, inter-familial marriage, and child marriage, even with girls as young as 6 years old , including full sexual relations, are all fully endorsed and accepted in the Muslim tradition. 14. Medically - No, because they have very limited knowledge of basic sterilization and safety protocol regarding medical practices, diseases and protection from spreading diseases, have been known to commonly drink camel urine and have sex with goats, and the Islamic tradition performs brutal procedures on young pubescent girls, known as female genital mutilation (FGM). 15. Vocationally - No, because there are very few who are functionally educated primarily because education is not a value that is highly respected in the Muslim tradition, and even the education of females is prohibited. The few contributing in productive labor to society, as a Muslim each is called to obligatory prayers 5x a day. This practice is disruptive and unprofitable for American and Canadian companies. 16. Financially - No, because 80-90% of American and Canadian Muslims are dependent on welfare, sometimes even fraudulently, draining the system with as many as one man having 4 wives and 18 dependent children in one household. This exploitation of the welfare system is a common practice in the Muslim tradition known as jizya, which is part of entitlement compensation, paid by the non-Muslim (kafirs), to the Muslim. 17. Ethically - No, because he is instructed and allowed to overtly and covertly lie to, steal from, deceive, rape, and exploit the non-Muslim (kafirs). 18. Legally - No, because he is allowed to marry up to 4 women (polygamy), rape any non Muslim; he is commanded to kill anyone who doesn't convert to Islam, and any person leaving the Muslim religion is also to be killed, according to the Muslim tradition. 19. Criminally - No, because the cultural dress code for women require the burqua and hijab coverings to be worn in public. These highly constrict and prevent law enforcement officials from visual identification, observation, and transparency of possible concealed and hidden weapons or explosives. Rape and slaying of non-Muslims is also endorsed by the Muslim tradition and the Koran. 20. Judicially - No, because Muslims rigorously demand their own Sharia courts rejecting the host countries established laws and courts, and there are well over 1000 Muslim terrorist watch-list cases, burdening our justice system, costing taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. 21. Structurally - No, because 85-90% of mosques in America are teaching, preaching and proselytizing implementation of Sharia law and the Islamic caliphate, and promoting jihad and the destruction of America and the West, as well as harboring jihad weaponry and jihadists, dedicated to facilitate the terrorist attacks on the Homeland of the USA and Canada. 22. Pragmatically - No, because there is no LOVE in Islam, but everything opposite of love. Islam is based on illicit power, sadistic control, harshness, death, subjugation, dominance, slavery, exploitation, bondage, lying, deceit , manipulation, rape, intimidation, barbarism, martyrdom, and destruction. 23. Constitutionally - No, because his allegiance is to sharia law, which is above any country or Constitutional Republic laws, because sharia law is given by Allah, who is supreme according to the teachings of Islam. THEREFORE, after much education, 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/Canadians; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within. And you certainly can’t help but question where were all the protests when Al-Qaeda and other terror networks announced they were specifically targeting the West. There is no doubt there are Muslim Americans who love this country. Why wouldn’t they? We offer freedom of religion, free education, housing, healthcare and food benefits. What we really need to see is that love for country extended to the love for their neighbors, for their Christian and Jewish neighbors specifically. This protest is a good start, but when Muslims make an honest attempt to assimilate in our country, instead of coming here with the intent of maintaining Sharia law and replacing our cultures and religious values with theirs. When they make an attempt to assimilate, that’s when we’ll know and believe they are truly interested in becoming Americans, not transplanted Muslims from overseas working to turn America into a hellhole like every other Muslim country.
