What if Our Country is Ruled by Islam?

reality that deserves serious consideration.
Under Islamic rule would the citizens be granted the right to choose the
religion they want, or would they be forced into Islam according to the
Quranic verse: "If any one desires a religion other than Islam, never
will it be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks
of those who have lost." (Surah 3:85). How about the right of a Muslim
to change his own religion?
Would he be given this right or would he be punished according to the
apostasy rule which states that such a person should be punished by
death? Mohammed said "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." AlBukhari
Vol. 9:57 Resisting Islam: punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting
off of the hands and feet (Surah 5:33).
Do Muslim activists want us to have the same rights granted to the
citizens of an Islamic countrysuch as Saudi Arabia, where women are not
allowed to drive an automobile and no one can worship openly according
to any religion other than Islam?
Do they want us to be ruled by a ruler such as Khomeini, who issued an
order to murder a writer,Salman Rushdie, just because he dared to
criticize Islam?
Even in a moderate Islamic state such as Egypt, Christians have to
obtain a presidential decree to be able to build a church, or even to
repair a toilet in a church. They facediscrimination in all aspects of
their lives, including education, employment and promotions.
Our present system gives the citizens the right to rule themselves, to
write the laws that will govern their lives, to decide the amount of
taxes to be collected from them and how it will be spent.
Prisons in Muslim countries are known to be centers of torture.
One important principle in this great system is the separation ofchurch
and state. Islam, however, is built on an opposing concept, for "Islam
is a religion and a state."
According to Islam, the Quran is the principal source of legislation:
"We have sent down to thee the book in truth, that you might judge men
as guided by God." (Surah 4:105). If the Quran is the law,what are some
of the rules and regulations that will be imposed? Here are just a few
examples:
Stealing: punished by hand amputation (Surah 5:38)
Adultery: punished by public flogging (Surah 24:2)
Drinking : punished by 40 or 80 lashes (Al Bukhari 8:770)
Resisting Islam : punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of
the hands and feet (Surah 5:33)
Mohammed says that a Muslim may not be killed if he kills a non-Muslim.
Prisons in Muslim countries are known to be centers of torture rather
than rehabilitation. Under our system, there should be no discrimination
among citizens based on sex, color, religion or race.Would Islam treat
men and women equally when:
It teaches that men are superior to women (Surah 2:228)
It gives men double the share of the women in
inheritance? (Surah 4:11)
It gives the man double the value of a woman's witness in court?
(Surah2:282)
Would Islam treat non-Muslims fairly when:
The Quran calls on Muslims not to befriend Jews or Christians?
(Surah9:30)
The Quran imposes "Jizya" (tribute tax) on Christians
and Jews that will be collected only from them andnot from Muslims?
(Surah 9:29)
Mohammed says that a Muslim may not be killed if he kills a non-Muslim.
"No Muslim should be killed for killing a kafir (infidel or non-
Muslim)."Al Bukhari Vol. 9:50Islam is the fastest growing religion in
America.
Islam is the fastest growing religion even in America.
Today, the number of followers of Islam in our country has reached 4 to
6 million. Muslims project gaining an additional one million Americans
every year. It is expected that Islam will be the second largest
religion in our country before the turn of the century, and, it is a
matter of time before Islam will become the religion of the majority.
America, then will be labeled an "Islamic country ", ruled by the
"Quran" and the "Hadith" or what Muslims call Sharia (The Islamic code
of ethics) The threat of Islam is real.
The threat of Islam is real. More so than communism ever was, because
with Islam, Muslim activists are willing to kill and to die for the
cause of spreading their religion. This is called "Jihad," a sacred duty
for all Muslims to perform.
