Islam and the Constitution in Conflict

How should we view Islam? Is not Islam a theocracy? And as such, does it really constitute a religion? Is not Islam an amalgamation of political, legal, and religious ideologies? In other words, law, religion and state are forged together to form what Muslims refer to as “The Nation of Islam.” It is given the sovereign qualities of a nation with clerics in the governing body and Sharia law all in one. This is a Theocracy, not a religion. This being the case, why is this nation’s chief executive, members of its legislative and judicial branches using the cloak of the US Constitution to protect a theocracy? I am in favor of federal laws prohibiting racial and religious discrimination. I am not opposed to one’s rights to practice their religious faith. I am opposed to those who seek special dispensation because of their religious belief when in fact, Islam is not by definition a religion. To cater to one group’s perception of what’s right in their eyes to the detriment of the whole is not the most effective way of dealing in accordance with what is good, proper and just. What we need from our elected officials is conformity with fact, reason, truth, or some standard or previously established law. I believe too many of our elected officials are acquiescing to what is politically correct and expedient. Why else would Sharia Law even be considered as the rule of law in certain municipalities if this were not the case?

Can we put a halt to the Washington’s perception and acceding to Islam’s autonomy demands based on religion? In my opinion we can. Why not ask our current leaders and future presidential and political candidates the type questions I previously mentioned? It might help determine who we support. I for one will do just that prior to campaigning for and casting my future ballot. Suggestion; start with local candidates and work your way up the food chain.
