What role does religion play in the United States compared to Iraq or any Arab nation?

Answer 1

The Arab nation have one religion, while the United States has hundreds all thinking they are right, a lot trying to control what the people think and do and say, I personally prefer the freedom to follow my personal beliefs.

Answer 2

In USA it is clearly mentioned that Religion and State are two different entities, they dont have to do anything with each other.
But whereas in Arab states or to be more precise in Muslim countries, State is a sub domain of the Religon...
In Islam, there are pre-defined rules and orders for the regulation of a society at an optimum level, so in an ideal Muslim world one cannot take religion apart from the state or vice versa

Answer 3

So far, the theocratic forces in the U.S. haven't taken over many of the critical institutions of the nation. On the other hand, if, say, a Christian fundamentalist movement did manage to come to power in the U.S., the backward pull of fundamentalism - socially, scientifically and politically - would surely follow. What keeps these retrograde forces at bay is a combination of a sophisticated and powerful opposition, and the opportunism of right-wing politicians who mostly use the "religious" for their own ends. These forces hardly exist in the Muslim countries - with the possible exception of Turkey, and to some lesser degree in Lebanon.

Answer 4

Believe it or not there are plenty of similarities. Our president is lobbied by the religious right to effect laws. Not only that but the pres' beliefs also play a part in lawmaking. One example is the way Roe v. Wade is flip flopped with a new president. In the islamic countries, religious leaders dictate laws and such as well.

If Islamic nations made laws in accordance with how the Qu'ran really reads there would be no wars. The only time "Jihad" is to be proclaimed is as a defensive action against an enemy of Allah. It is the radicals that see it as a right to kill non believers.

Hmm sounds like what we do as a "police action". Just because their government is not like ours we see them as a threat to democracy so we send troops there to "save" the oppressed.

As you can see, not much difference.

Answer 5

Most Arab nations are ruled by Islamic law. Even Hamas has threatened to impose Islamic law.

God bless America! All religions are *allowed*, but unfortunately not all are respected.
