I have a dream to develop a distinctive American Islamic culture, and I enjoy imagining to myself what forms it would take. I am confident that in the long term this can happen, but there are still many hurdles to get over although I think they are all solvable by time. Especially if the Muslim community becomes confident that it is here to stay, that it has something that post-Christian America needs desperately — a religion that solves the problems yet has the same teachings of the Biblical prophets (peace be upon them and upon all the righteous servants of God).

some people can't live without those liars , some people deny any religion because they don't want anything to take them away from the kind of free lives they think it give them pleasure, but their happiness is a false one ,because it would lead to their destruction in the end.

religion never solves problems it only creates them.
post - christian America? suggesting what????
American Constitution Bill of Rights, contains the right of freedom of religion. That would mean that there can't be a state sponsored religion, nor that you can force anyone to be a particular religion, in other words people have the right to practice ANY religion they choose to.
Muslim - death to all infidels, what is an infidel? a non-believer in Islamic teachings.
The attrasities that are carried out in the name of religion are aweful, i do not believe that god, (regardless of a man's "religion") is a hateful and controling god. That does not fit with the doctrine of a loving and caring god to which all religions claim that their god is.
And just what do you imagine? An iman as president and a congress of "religious" scholars, a supreme court of judges that take the doctrine of someones teachings as law over the "Constitution of the United States"? In short a brutal and hatefully destructive islamic nation known as America? A nation that would refuse the rights of women? A nation that would have sects that would actually kill one another because some iman has a different point of view? A nation that says that it is okay to murder someone as long as they are not muslim? Yeah that is what i call "a religion that solves the problems".
I ask you what of freedom? It appears to me that in America muslims are free to practice their religion of choice, but can the same be said for a person that desires to be Christian or Buddist or Hindu, or Wiccan in Iran? in Afganistan? or many mid-eastern countries?
I say your dream is a dream, but you can't force others to believe in what you want them to.

I am sick of all you ******* ruining America. Christians & Muslims going back and forth like one of you is right. You are all naieve little puppets. Re-interpreting and rationalizing to try and get around your gaping inconsistincies. You guys make me sick. The world would be better off without you, Allah, and Jesus.
The ONLY real truth out there is I don't know the truth and either do you. The rest of it is just a fairy tale made up to control you, and you buy it just because it is comforting and secure in a very uncomfortable and insecure world. While the appeal is understandable, the lies you convince yourself to believe are inexcusable.
Islam, like Christianity, has nothing to offer America except for ignorance.

when i see people like you that want to get over the hurdles of our culture i would ask how do you get over them.
because i am a hurdle...i am a Pagan Priest and when i see things like this i think on 2 lines.
1, wow o hope that things work for them because i am all about respecting other people's beliefs so long as they respect mine.
2, are they going to respect my beliefs and allow me to worship my god-goddess freely and openly. or will i face discrimination form them.
not to bust on you but I have enough people telling me that i am going to some hell or another for following my religion.
so i ask you would you sit and discuss with me your beliefs and listen to mine over a game of chess and a Hookah?
or would you see me an as infidel or outcast to be ignored and
and possibly forced to stop practiceing my religion openly?

You know, all you have to do is replace the word "islamic" with the word "white" and you could get help from the KKK on this one. You'd get along great. You seem right in line with their goals, except for that one little word.

Exactly, you religious wackos believe everyone "needs" your disease.
There are 50 Islamic countries in the world...all miserable failures...notice any coincidence? What those countries "need" is the removal of Islam. Healthy countries dont need the disease of Islam...follow?
What was Egypt before Islam?
What was Persia before Islam?
Islam is a cancer...and your wacko desire to force you filth on us cause you believe we "need" it and Allah demands you to force it on us is coming to a head.

That's all we need: to go from one pack of lies and fairy tales to another one. Bad idea dude. We need free thinkers and optimists. The age of American Agnosticism is upon us!
