Question

If America had a been founded on Islam instead of Christianity
would there be Declaration of Independence? It's a fair question so please think before you puck your anwser.

Answer 1

Then we would be a whole nation of idiots just like the ones in the middle east. We could constantly be killing each other in mass numbers and declare war on the whole world without having a clue why. Get real. Islam is a religion of hate and for nut jobs.

Answer 2

It wasn't founded on Christianity, the same way Iran wasn't founded on Islam.

If it was founded on Christianity or Islam, you would see freedom of religion, any religion!



If America had been founded on Christianity or Islam, there would be no need for a Declaration of Independance. It's against God to forcefully separate from the legal government.

Answer 3

We are still an oilless people then. Correction. If America was founded on Islamic belief, the Qu'ran would have been the basis of the constitution. And most likely we are still five years behind the modern age and the American Indians could have been totally annihilated already and without reservations in any place they are now.

Answer 4

First, the Declaration of Independence was a document declaring the separation of the colonies from England. It wasn't necessarily a foundational document, as was the constitution.

Secondly, the United States was not founded on Christianity as many would have you believe. True, many founders were Christians, but by no means all of them. The reason we have the concept of separation of church and state is partly because there were non-Christians involved. Certainly the non-Christians would have not allowed themselves to be run roughshod over the coals of Christianity. It simply makes no sense to believe that the non-Christian founders would have somehow felt it right to believe that the Christian founders should have their beliefs held to higher esteem than others when one of the reasons of separation from England was religious freedom in the first place.

The point is that we weren't founded on a religion, so had we been founded on Islam, things would have been exceedingly different because it would mean we had been founded on a single religion rather than on freedom of religion.

Answer 5

John Locke writing were based on his Christian upbringing thus his belief in the goodness of man. And yes!! America was founded by Christian, every last one of them to a man. It's foundations are base on Judeo /Christian beliefs. Had America been founded on Islamic principles you would not be using you computer, you would be an illiterate woman,cooking meals, having babies and waiting for your next beating you insulate swine.
( I really don't think your a swine. I only added that for dramatic effect)

Answer 6

Better and more accurate question would be: If America had been founded on Christianity, would there be Declaration of Independance?

Answer 7

Of course! The reason for America's success was great leaders! And by the way Declaration of Independence is very much the teachings of Quran.

Answer 8

No way!

And hundreds of years after the Declaration of Independance....what do Muslims have?

Answer 9

America was not founded on Christianity. It was founded on the writings of John Locke.

Answer 10

We would be a Mullocracy like Iran and would probably rule the whole North and South American continents. All non-muslims would be parts of tiny oppressed minorities.
