We tend to forget that religious toleration is part of our heritage. The first amendment to the constitution is one example and what is often overlooked is the clause in the Constitution that says that a religious test is not to be required for office.
That does not mean that the vast majority of Muslims could not be deported. Keep in mind that McCarthy was right. He was vilified by the press and rejected by people who should’ve been supporting him because they didn’t look to see what he was saying was true, they just reacted, emotionally, and to be honest, to protect their own hides. The government was full of communist. They were spies, they were infiltrators, they were committed to destroying our way of life. The fact that they were doing nothing at the time means you could’ve labeled them “moderate” communists.
At the same time all you need to do is read their founding documents. The communist were very open about destroying America. If you read the Quran, you can find that it is also very clear and open about destroying non-Muslim cultures. So far that applies to us. It may not apply to most of Europe anymore, but we still have not been totally overtaken. Think of the things that are involved in Islam that are more political than religious. Take Sharia law. Keep in mind that Islam does not separate religion from government. We do. When you combine the two and insist that the two can be combined, you become a criminal. You are outside the law. You can be deported.
If you have a so-called religion, which allows you to have multiple wives in a country which makes that illegal, you are a criminal. If you believe that, you can kill your daughter because she went out with a pagan or a Christian, and you do so, than you are outside the law. You are a criminal. If you believe in chopping off hands for stealing, you violate the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the constitution. You can go on. And keep in mind that even the “moderate” Muslims are believers in this book.
Oh yes, and throw in the fact that that book gives them the right to lie about what they believe or what they will do in the future.
We also need to consider the original intent. That’s one of the rocks that we like to stand on and it’s a good rock. The original intent of not having a religious test was so that Episcopalians could not keep Baptists out of office. It had absolutely nothing to do with banning members of the communist party, who followed it like a religion, taking a stand against the KKK, which was a religious position or saying that Muslims cannot serve in areas that are dangerous to national security.
We need to wake up while there are still roses to smell.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
