A Colonel in the Saudi Arabian Army once told an American officer, "We can be friendly, but we will never be friends." Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen? THEOLOGICALLY: No. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia. GEOGRAPHICALLY: No. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, which he turns to in prayers five times a day. SOCIALLY: No. Because his allegiance to Islam demands that he make no friends of Christians and Jews. (Q. 5:51) POLITICALLY: No. Because he must submit to the mullah, who teaches annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan. DOMESTICALLY: No. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. ; (Q. 4:34) RELIGIOUSLY: No. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam-Intolerance. (Q. 2:256) INTELLECTUALLY: No. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is established on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. PHILOSOPHICALLY: No. Because Islam, Mohammed and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Every Muslim government is dictatorial except Turkey. SPIRITUALLY: No. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is a tribune God while the Muslim's is one entity called Allah," who is never a heavenly father, nor is he ever called "Love" in the 99 excellent names.
