Why is it that libs allow, even welcome Muslim religion, but are totally against Christianity?

Question

Commodore 2468 show me where the words "separation of church and state" are in the Constitution. You can't. It was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson.

How do you figure that, Anthony, when leaders of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) said that he wanted Sharia law to replace the American Constitution? Isn't that Islam pushing itself into politics?

Answer 1

They aren't "totally against Christianity." That's a Republican lie originated in Think Tanks like PNAC, the AEI, and Heritage Foundation. The GOP is hoping you believe that, even though it's a nonsensical illusion that they've created and perpetuated with such issues as abortion and gay rights. Democrats don't like abortion, they simply have the brains to acknowledge that in other times and in other countries where abortions are illegal they still take place, and with a higher health risk to the mother. There were less abortions under Clinton than Bush or Reagan because back in those days, better services for underprivileged parents and children were available as well better sex education. It may also interest you to know that in Southern states like Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc, the Democratic politicians tend to actually be pro-life, and the party as a whole accepts this because there isn't a specific mandatory cookie-cutter position on the issue. It's the same way as far as issues like gay marriage, not all Democrats even support it, some support Civil Unions instead of actual "marriage" and some support neither and do take the conservative stance on the issue. Their stances vary depending on the feelings of the majority of their constituents in the district they represent, not because they have some vendetta against mainstream Christianity. It's the Republicans who do Christianity the most harm by using it as a political tool for themselves. Democrats have had enough respect for legitimate faith and the Constitution's separation of Church and State to avoid the issue as much as possible until Republicans started cornering them more and more.

Edit: You're right, the phrase itself is not mentioned, but the meaning is easily inferred no matter what your political beliefs. You don't need to "educate" me about the term or the Constitution. I've studied the Constitution extensively and can recite the entire Bill of Rights and almost the entire Constitution from memory. Jefferson's letters are a good read though. Especially those to John Adams.

As far as how they "allow, even welcome the Muslim religion," what would you prefer? We deport the 5 million or so Muslim immigrants living in the US simply for being religiously and/or culturally Islamic? The US has the largest freely-worshiping Muslim community in the world and most of our Muslims are well-integrated, productive members of society. Many of whom are very mainstream and Americanized, to the point where many of the women wear no headscarves and those who do wear them along with their colorful shirts from American shops like JC Pennies or Hollister and their bluejeans.
It's true that some Muslims in western nations including the US become radical and dangerous, but quite often it's because they've been singled out and mistreated for various reasons, their race and religion often included. Same as how anyone can become radical and dangerous when they're feeling isolated. The religious factor is only a modifier.

Answer 2

Multi-culturalism is a central part of liberal dogma, so it is standard practice for them to embrace the alien and reject the mainstream. Christians are - taken together, though they're anything but unified - the majority religion in America. Muslims, at just a few million, a small minority. The majority is always the evil oppressor, the minority, always the victim in need of a liberal champion.



Additional: "Commodore 2468 show me where the words "separation of church and state" are in the Constitution. You can't. It was in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson."

A letter in which he was talking about the 1st amendment, yes. The 'wall of sepparation between church and state' is a metaphor for the /meaning/ of that ammendment, from one of the formost thinkers of the American Revolution. Though it's not the Constitution, pondering it doesn't exactly hurt one's understanding of the Constitution.

Answer 3

All the Christians I know go to church and are all liberals. Prove to me that libs are not Christian. I dare you. You don't have an argument to stand on this matter.

Separation of church and state is in the 1st amendment. It's there but it isn't written literally "separation of church and state". Sheesh, are you advocating a theocracy now?

Please prove that CAIR wanted to replace our constitution with Sharia law. Sites?

Answer 4

All religions are risky while taken observe for observe. working example, the bible says if a woman is an adulterer, you may stone her to demise. Are we going to try this? No. would the Ku Klux Klan perhaps try this? confident. the challenge isn't the religions, that's the violent extremists.

Answer 5

They aren't against Christianity. They are against pushing it on others. They allow and welcome the Muslim religion because there is religious freedom in America.

Answer 6

Not a lib but I am against Islam, christianity and all other religions. Jihad, inquisition, crusades, etc. I'm done with all of it.

Answer 7

whaaaaaaaa? i'm a christian and a liberal. how do you figure they are mutally exclusive? i don't judge other religions because Jesus told me not to. "judge not, that ye be not judged". i'm pretty sure he knows better than i! he also said "love one another as i have loved you". the word "except" was not in there.........
