Why We Must Resist
the Vision of a World United under Islam 

Islam is not just a religion; it is a theo-political doctrine as implemented under Islamic Sharia Law. People should take note that Islam makes attain- ment of political goals a religious duty, thereby making inseparable the religious from the political. Islam’s express goal is to spread Islam across the world—to replace or subjugate anything non-Islamic. Wherever Islam thrives, a state within a state develops and the existing government and unbelieving (kafir, infidel) culture is rejected. The Islamic minority grows in until it can conquer, by political or violent means, the established govern- ment and replace it with Sharia.

Early on Islam aggressively spread through violence. Today, its modern conquest begins with immigration and enlarging populations followed by a demand for deferential treatment of Islam in the host country, including insistence on religious accommodations, judicial separateness, and general cultural and educational non-integration. Imagined affronts to Islam are claimed and redress demanded. Islam rejects the host law and culture. 

Sharia law, heavily influenced by 7th century Arab culture, denounces free- dom of speech, religion, expression and action and denies equality be- tween men and women, thereby violating human rights. Sharia has no “Golden Rule” to treat individuals equally. Instead Sharia segregates people into two classes of people: Muslims and non-Muslims. Muslims are su- preme and non-Muslims are inferior, holding no equal rights under Islam. Muslim-Muslim relations are completely separate from Muslim-kafir rela- tions, where deceit is sanctioned and maltreatment largely unpunished. 

No matter the temperament of individual Muslims, the Islamic community as a whole, the “ummah,” drives the process of Islamization (codification of Islamic supremacy via Sharia law) in every country where Islam thrives. There is no room to list the thousands of violent acts of Muslims against non-Muslims in the name of Islam. Across the globe violence and political upheaval are associated with increasing Muslim populations. 

The United States is a constitutional republic thoughtfully crafted by our founders, with its government powers defined in the US Constitution and separated into three branches filled by the President, Congress and Courts. Sharia law is irreconcilably in conflict with the US Constitution and our gov- ernment. Islamic nations, often theocratic oligarchies, condemn liberty, forbid equality and reject traditional concepts of sovereignty. 

We cannot extend our tolerance to Islam’s intolerance. Islam and Sharia are grave dangers to the United States of America and to all Western cultures. We must choose liberty, equality and representative government, over Islam’s doctrine of submission, supremacism and dictatorial theocracy. 

Consider what the world is going through today, nearly every conflict across the globe involves Islam threatening native populations. The tenets of Islam support violence toward non-Muslims. This should concern you. We'll be back with more.
