Free Republic _PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AGAINST ISLAM _ (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2004396/posts) _Live Leak ^_ (http://www.freerepublic.com/^http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=96f_1208630224) | April 19, 2008 | Live Leak Posted on Sunday, April 20, 2008 10:47:33 AM by _DogByte6RER_ (http://www.freerepublic.com/~dogbyte6rer/) PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AGAINST ISLAM A Proposed Constitutional Amendment (Note the need for this Amendment at the end) Background and justification to Amendment 28 (self-defense/survival measure) Whereas; Religion is defined as an institution dedicated to improving social conscience and promoting individual and societal spiritual growth in a way that is harmless to others not participating in or practicing the same; Whereas; the United States of America was founded on the ideals of individual rights, including the individual right to practice one’s religion of choice, or no religion, and that there would be no compulsion of religion, nor state sanctioned religion, nor a 'religious test' for participation in the body politic; Whereas; Islam includes a complete political and social structure, encompassed by its religious law, Sharia, that supercedes any civil law and that Islam mandates that no secular or democratic institutions are to be superior to Islamic law; Whereas; Islam preaches that it and it alone is the true religion and that Islam will dominate the world and supplant all other religions and democratic institutions; Whereas; Saudi Arabia , the spiritual home of Islam does not permit the practice of any other religion on its soil and even 'moderate' Muslims states such as Turkey and Malaysia actively suppress other religions; Whereas; Islam includes as its basic tenant the spread of the faith by any and all means necessary, including violent conquest of non-believers, and demands of its followers that they implement violent jihad (holy war) against those un-willing to convert or submit to Islam, including by deception and subversion of existing institutions; Whereas; on 9/11/2001 19 Muslim hijackers acting in the name of Islam killed 3,000 Americans, and numerous other acts of terrorism have been directed at the American people around the world; Whereas; representatives of Islam around the world including Osama Bin Laden (architect of 9/11), the government of Iran including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, HAMAS, Hezbollah, and other Islamic groups have declared jihad (war) on America, and regularly declare that America should cease to exist; Whereas; there is no organized Islamic opposition to violent proponents of Islam; Therefore: Islam is not a religion, but a political ideology more akin to Fascism and totally in opposition to the ideals of freedom as described in the United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. Be it resolved that the following Amendment to the Constitution be adopted: Article I The social/political/ideological system known around the world as Islam is not recognized in the United States as a religion. The practice of Islam is therefore not protected under the 1st Amendment as to freedom of religion and speech. Article II As representatives of Islam around the world have declared war, and committed acts of war, against the United States and its democratic allies around the world, Islam is hereby declared an enemy of the United States and its practice within the United States is now prohibited. Article III Immediately upon passage of this Amendment all Mosques, schools and Muslim places of worship and religious training are to be closed, converted to other uses, or destroyed. Proceeds from sales of such properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate agency as determined by Congress. No compensation is to be offered by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said structures if other disposition cannot be made. The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high school academic environment provided that instruction include discussion of Islam’s history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing war on democratic and other non-Islamic values. The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination, destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as proscribed by Congress. Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or the material support of those both in the United States and around the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be punishable by death. Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United States . Article IV Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim. The individual right of conscience is sacrosanct and the practice of Islam within the privacy of home and self is strictly protected to the extent that such individuals do not violate the prohibitions described in Article III. =========================================================== >From Live Leak post... THE REASON THE AMENDMENT IS NEEDED I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride. They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe. =================================================== Some reader comments : --------------------------------------- Islam has nothing to do with liberty and freedom. In fact, it advocates the destruction of it. Islam is the exact same thing as Nazism, and we don't allow that here either. Our constitution was never written with Islam in mind. It was written by Christians with a Christian society in mind and protection of it against those who would destroy it, which would include Islam. -------------------------------------- Hate to see the need. But I’d vote for it. ------------------------------------ While this Amendment directly addresses Islam, I believe we do need an Amendment or law that clearly states what is considered a valid religion in general. We need one that also addresses the Farrakans and the Wrights of this nation. They are using their so called religions as tax shelters and this has to stop. ------------------------------------ ISLAM is not a religion so what is your problem with the constitutional amendment?You let the Muzzies take over and you will see a ban on religion.Ours ----------------------------------- To: Someone who said : “Not just no, but hell no. You can’t sacrifice liberty to preserve America. It’s an oxymoron. One cannot exist without the other. Should this boneheaded Amendment pass, we’d cease being American at that very moment.” [ Here is my ] Short, but succinct, rebuttal: “The Constitution is not a suicide pact” (I don’t recall the name of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice who wrote this, but one in fact did). The proposed amendment is too long and too wordy to be worth consideration. It would never pass. I would directly re-write the First Amendment, inserting language that the followers of Muhammed were not recognized as deserving of its protections. Yes, I WOULD do that. And I would have NO fear for the future of the country. So long as the existing First Amendment provides cover for Islam to destroy us from within, I DO fear for the future of this country. ----------------------------------------------------------- I don't support it as an Amendment, but I do recognize that Islam is inconsistent with democracy. And a serious threat to America and the rest of the free world, much as Nazism was. ------------------------------------------------------------- THERE IS NO FREEDOM WITHOUT RESPNSIBILITY. Freedom can be a tricky principle, truth, right, issue. I’d normally prefer to err on the side of the benefit of the doubt and grace for all comers. However, Islam has shown it’s true teeth and satanic violent destructiveness to all I hold dear. I no longer see any sanity in giving them any quarter whatsoever. Our Constitution was not designed to insure our destruction. Ignoring Islam could easily insure our destruction. ------------------------------------------------------- Against many critics in the Comments section, none of whom ( 2008 ) seemed to have done any serious study of Islam and who didn't bother to read more than the title, thereby claiming that next the government would go after other religions, one reader pointed out : IT PROTECTS ALL RELIGIONS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!
