Is radical Islam a religion worthy of Federal Tax exemption, even if it advocates genocide, like Nazism?

Question

As far as I can tell, radical Islam is the only so-called religion which advocates suicide, homicide and genocide. It even violates the ancient, mainstream Islamic principle of offering an "infidel" a choice between "Islam or the sword," because radical Islam advocates the killing of non-Muslims before they have even been offered this choice. Isn't radical Islam more like Nazism on steroids, since it claims God's sanction? Please tell me radical Islam in America does not enjoy tax exempt status! Is the IRS looking into this as minutely as they examine the tax returns of the rest of us, the meek suckers who pay our taxes without so much as a peep, let alone a constant stream of murderous vitriol?

Answer 1

No, it obviously is not worthy of anything except the contempt of us all.

Answer 2

It is obvious from your rhetorically retarded question that you are neither seeking an answer, nor know anything of the American Tax System, and clearly have no idea about the second largest religion in the world.

There is no such religion as radical Islam ... if you had received any sort of schooling in your youth, you would know that radical is an adjective. An adjective is formulated as a result of whatever misinformation you received to lead you to prefix it before the noun YOU wish to refer it to.

For example do the following religions exist:
awesome Anglican
creepy Christianity
jesterful judaism

Maybe in some people's heads, but probably not as official religions.

Just like any religion, Islam has its whackos; that twist a tolerant peaceful teaching into whatever sick fantasy they wish to unleash on the world .... it doesn't make the religion itself bad, just the psycho who perverts it.

I don't know what religous or historical sources you are quoting (other than Fox News), but I am unaware that:
A) Islam (or any religion) has ever condoned genocide.
B) There is a teaching of "Islam or the sword" in either the Quran (which I am sure you have never seen, but are eagerly misquoting) or any of the sayings of the prophet Mohammed - since these are the only 2 relevant sources of guidance which Muslims follow.

Please get an elementary school education .... turn off Fox News ...... stop being a "meek sucker" and contact your locally elected government representative to express your disdain of the IRS without unnecssarily inciting relgious intolerence on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

i HAVE never heard that radical Muslims receive tax exemption. Actually they receive lengthy prison terms, which they deserve. Some of them even recieve indifinite jail term in Guantanamu Bay without a trial, which stains the democracy of USA. But either way they do not receive any tax excempt.

Answer 4

Like anything esle, radical Islam is hidden behind moderate Islam. Should we also remove Protestant from the federal list because of people like Eric Rudolf and others who bomb abortion clinics? What about the Catholics for the history of cover-up and denial concerning sexual abuse? And let's not forget the Mormons, who have certain sects that still advocate male dominance and polygomy. Every religion has its fanatics, and we shouldn't judge the whole because a small part is bad.

Answer 5

All religions behave like this at various times in history.
It's why the pilgrim fathers came to america.
Christians kill christians, jews and muslims.
Jews kill jews, christians and muslims.
Muslims kill muslims, jews and christians.
It's always been this way don't sound so surprised, read some history, educate yourself.
The murder won't stop until these religions cease their struggle for dominance over each other.

Answer 6

If any of the "radical" Moslems are conspiring to destroy America, they are pursued and the full force of both law and power is used against them.

Please, copy this and send it to everyone you know)

Dear Uncle Sam,



I am writing you today to thank you
for all the good deeds
you do for us Americans, such as
taking our hard earned
dollar, even though taxation is
illegal, and sending our
youth to Middle Eastern countries
to die for your
Capitalist profit. Such a noble
deed, deserves gratitude
indeed.



I would also like to thank
you for spreading good-
will around the world, the
rape of the Iraqi's at Abu
Gharib was well appreciated I am sure,
and even teaches
those savages the principles of
democracy. They may even
spread our example someday, oh
what a glorious day that
will be.



I would also like to thank you
Uncle Sam for the Patriot
Act, it amazes me that you can
protect my freedom in such
a fashion. I absolutely agree,
silence the opposition, but
let us as a country not admit
the nasty little secret of
our good ole Gitmo. It must be a
place of bountiful
bondage fun, us Americans will
joyously visit it with
great jubilee.



Thank you Uncle Sam.

I thank you for out-right borrowing
with out the intent to
return, $83 Billion dollars from
the tax payers, they
should have no problem that only
$2 Billion of the alotted
$85 Billion was actually used to
clean up the disaster in
which we created over in Iraq.



And most of all Uncle Sam,
I believe that you are a great
man, the gas pumps just echo your name.
We pay over $3.00
a gallon, while Iraqi's pay about
$0.05, thank you. As I'm
sure Exxon also loves you,
reporting thier highest sales
and profit margin in over a decade.

I have to be going now though Uncle Sam,
I'm out of words.
I've sent this to a hundreds of people,
you've been fore-
warned.



Sincerley yours,
An American Patriot.
