Setting A Trap

By Tammy Derouin

The First Amendment states freedom of religion not from religion.  Our nation was built on the principles of Christianity.  Many of the early settlers crossed the Atlantic fleeing religious persecution.  The morals and values of Christianity are entwined in the blocks and mortar of our nation’s foundation.

The phrase, Separation of Church and State, does not exist in the Constitution.  It was written by Thomas Jefferson in a letter.  Can you imagine how those on the left would react if conservatives were clinging to a statement in a letter, with no Constitutional validity to strong arm their will? 

The First Amendment was meant to keep the state out of the church not the church out of the state.  Our founders didn’t want a state religion such as the Church of England.  They understood that people had the right to believe or not to believe as they wished.  It wasn’t their intention to eliminate God from the government or the classroom.  The left has perverted Separation of Church and State to further their agenda.

The left has declared war on religion but not all religions.  Their foot soldiers are nonbelievers and non-Christians.  Any hint of a religious connotation in a school or government facility is quickly targeted.  It’s very clear the attack is on Christianity.

We have a president who embraces everything Islamic, including celebrating Ramadan inside the walls of the White House.  Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.  Where’s the call from those on the left for Separation of Church and State?  This same president attacks the beliefs of Christians within the borders of the United States and turns his back on Christian and Jewish allies.

For the first time in our history, we have a president who embraces a religion of non-Christian origin.  That’s his right and freedom.  I would have had some respect for him had he been truthful and up front about his beliefs.  But, he wouldn’t have been elected had he been truthful on all his beliefs.   He can state that he’s a Christian all he wants but actions speak louder than the Muslim call to pray.

We have a president who is anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and anti-American.  Where Christianity teaches thou shall not…, Islam teaches that deceit is fine if it furthers the agenda of Allah.  Where Christianity teaches love and forgiveness, Islam hungers to destroy anybody who doesn’t agree with their faith.  Christianity embraces free will.  God wants His people to freely come to Him.  Islam embraces fear and forced conversion, join them or die. 

What’s really disturbing about  our president and Islam here in the United States are some very interesting facts. Women and homosexuals, two large groups who help further his Leftists agenda, are targets under Islam.  

Homosexuals are accepted in the United States.  You have the right to agree or disagree with their lifestyle but we do not cast stones.  The president flip flopped on his original belief that marriage was between a man and a woman.  That’s not only interesting it’s a little bit scary because under Islam, they do cast stones.

According to the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) and reported by Pakistan Today, “Women are un-Islamic and that their mere existence contradicted Sharia and the will of Allah.”  Chairman Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani noted, “Women by existing defied the laws of nature, and to protect Islam and the Sharia women should be forced to stop existing as soon as possible.”  The CII holds regular meetings to discuss and advise the government, in this case Pakistan.  In one meeting they concluded that any law relating to the minimum age to marry was un-Islamic. 

Shirani divided women into two categories.  Haraam includes any woman who exercises her will.  She is conspiring against Islam and therefore is forbidden.   Makrooh includes women who are completely subservient, but they are still really disliked.  A woman can only hope to reach the status of Makrooh.  Women are seen as an enemy of Islam so they are restricted to subordinate or slave status.  This ensures the continuation of Islam as “the religion of peace, prosperity and gender equality.”

To further protect Islam, the right of a woman to breathe should be removed.  Shirani concluded, “Whether a woman is allowed to breathe or not be left up to their husband or male guardian, and no woman under any circumstances whatsoever should be allowed to decide whether she can breathe or not.”  Now there’s your war on women.

Our president is anti-American. Islam is anti-homosexual and anti-women.  If lying to infidels is acceptable in the Islamic faith to further their cause, it would appear the president is setting a trap.  The very people who help further his agenda could one day become expendable tools. 

“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer.”
