We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 President Obama addressed the nation following a national security meeting about the Orlando massacre. Would someone please explain to me the difference between murdering a gay person with a gun or hanging him from a crane in the middle of the city square as is done in Saudi Arabia or thrown off a building as done in Iran? Does it matter to the dead person if it was one Muslim on his own committing murder, or a group? That Mateen was born and bred in America, should frighten this President.
"Seddique Mateen, a political activist who is running for president of Afghanistan and has expressed gratitude towards the Afghan Taliban in videos posted online, said his son was not radicalized, adding: ‘He wasn’t because he had no beard, and he was just a regular person going to work and coming back and taking care of his wife and his kids.’”: Right
It means that the ethic that underpins Islam in the life of Omar Mateen was stronger than the Judeo/Christian ethic taught in America.
Obama said, “Since before I was president, I've been clear about how extremist groups have perverted Islam to justify terrorism. As president, I have called on our Muslim friends and allies at home and around the world to work with us to reject this twisted interpretation of one of the world's great religions.”
Obama has had a great need to equate Islam with Judaism and Christianity, that Islam is one of the great religions. Would he please name a Muslim country that he considers living the ideal Islam: one of tolerance and care for the other?
Is it Sunni Saudi Arabia where women are covered from head to toe, can’t go out without a male escort; can’t drive, can be stoned to death, have few human rights let alone civil rights? Or is it Shiite Iran where women aren’t treated much better? A country that funds Hamas and Hezbolla and received 150 billion dollars from Obama. Is Obama content with this great religion which allows old men to marry nine year old girls-it’s called pedophilia in the West. Maybe it’s Yemen or Somalia, Dubai or Qatar, where migrant workers brought in to build the facilities for FIFA 2020 work like slaves, their passports taken, and far too many die. Or perhaps it is Sudan where the Muslims from the north go to the south and kidnap Christians to enslave up north? Or, okay, let’s say it is Malaysia or Indonesia. Well, Obama certainly made it clear how he felt about tolerance- except I guess in Muslim countries where there is no tolerance for each other-Sunni versus Shiite versus Alawite versus…? I guess he is okay with the lack of tolerance for others like the Jews who are not allowed. I guess that is different! And now this man, Obama, is pushing for another Muslim country-number 23; Palestine-also to be "Judenrien;" echoes of Nazi Germany and Chamberlain.
This President will not speak about Imams who call the murder of gays…compassionate.
Support Canada Free Press
Or teach that women need to be beaten. Granted this is from Canada but the Imam is talking about the errors in western teachings regarding women. “The West prohibits the beating for the purpose of education and this is the position that was taken there. However, the truth is otherwise. The beating is a type of education… the beating is used after exhausting all effective and successful [possible] solutions and [it turned out that] there is no treatment without it.”
Or Imams who preach that Islam must take over in the West.
It’s amazing that Muslims still have not absorbed the fact that this is not our system, these are not our laws, and these are not our governments. This system does not represent us, and it will not protect us if those behind it decide that we are no longer worth protecting.
It’s amazing that Muslims continuously ignore the fact that our Creator gave us our own system and obligated it upon us, and He will never allow us to solve these countless problems we face today until we return to His system that He ordained for us in His final message…
This President has no love for his citizens. Instead of calling to Muslim Americans to stand up and march against implementation of “this” Islam or crying for the dead, the injured and their families, he is far more concerned about gun control, the language used to describe those who commit terror in the name of Islam, and the treatment of Muslim citizens. I guess that is diversity in action. He worries that Muslims will be targeted or that the language used about Islamic terrorism will encourage more terrorism. Has he ever expressed concern that bad-mouthing gays or the Jews will encourage them to commit terror? Has there ever been a reason for anyone to say such a thing? Why is it that saying something negative about Islam or their prophet could and does lead to terror, mayhem murder and fear? Or is it just radical Islamists who do such things?
Someone needs to remind the president of the United State that his country sits on the teachings of the Jewish people, brought to America with the Puritans. He needs to read the words of John Adams a member of the Declaration of Independence committee and second president of the United States (1797–1801), who understood the deep connection between ethical monotheism and freedom.
“I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. If I were an atheist of the other sect, who believe or pretend to believe that all is ordered by chance, I should believe that chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate to all mankind the doctrine of a supreme, intelligent, wise, almighty, sovereign of the universe, which I believe to be a great essential principle of all morality, and consequently of all civilization.”
P. Marion Simms wrote: “The America people owe more to the ancient Hebrews than to any ancient people. More than to either the Greeks or the Romans, because to the Hebrew we owe our ethical and moral ideals.” There is no mention of Islam in the founding of America. On the contrary, many of the Founding fathers of America studied the teachings of the Hebrew bible at Yale, King’s College which became Columbia, The Philadelphia Academy now the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, William and Mary in Virginia, Rutgers and Princeton in New Jersey Brown University in Rhode Island and incorporated them in the laws of the colonies and then the country.
America, never forget the ethic that underpins your country. It is not and never was Sharia.
