American Muslims and politics

Definitions: - Natural Rights and Natural Law = These rights and this law is established in clearity in the American constitution and Bill of Rights. It is the unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. This Law is established by our creator. This Law is reflected from the Christian Religion. Statements that have bearing = Constitution – The constitution directly forbids the use of our Civil authority to enforce an action that is outside of the Natural Law as governed by the same “self evident” Law. Contention 1) In the same way that Criminals should not be involved in Politics and they are indeed restricted in America, Criminal ideology should also be restricted from participating in legitimate politics of any sort. North American Man/Boy Love Association – is a political special interest group that has purely a criminal intent and desires to legitmize those criminal actions. They desire to have the government “enforce” their desires to rape children. This is an anethema. In the same way, any criminal organization that defends and supports the destruction of the Natural Rights of every single person, should indeed NOT be allowed in politics at any level as my opponent contends. Contention 2) The muslim religion indeed supports and even promotes criminal activities that undermine, destroy and remove the natural rights of individuals. (A muslim may not agree with the tenants of his/her religion but that is irrelevant to the resolution as the religion is at issue not the person involved in the religion) Now I do recognize that there will be facist elements that hijack any religion and use it as the predominant faith in the region. They do this to promote more oppressive regimes and more criminal concepts. Every religion has fallen to this “unbeliever take over” problem. I am not talking about those “regimes” of evil that have indeed made the Islamic Cause far worse. I am directly addressing the Muslim system of Law and Governing called Sharia. Laws that Undermine the Natural Rights of Man in Islam: Religious Law 1-It is determined within Sharia Law that to leave Islam is punishable by death. This is held by the vast majority of Muslims, even if you can show that one or two sub-sects do not hold this, allowing the majority of Muslims to involve their criminal WILL into our political system would be to the oppression of the rights of Muslims that leave the Muslim faith. . http://www.cfr.org... Any law restricting religious conversion perpetrated on any person by the American Civil Authority would indeed be criminal and unconstitutional. Religious Law 2- “Under sharia law, non-payment of debt is considered a crime, and sufficient reason for imprisonment; imprisonment does not discharge the debt. ” This is an extreme consequence even held by moderate Saudi Arabia. To imprison a person under such a concept is against the Civil powers of our government and would be criminal should any law enforcement do so within this country. . http://www.justlanded.com... This is clearly a criminal mentality we would not want to see within our country. Religious Law 3 – Under Sharia fornicating will be harse punitive repercussions. This should scare every teenager! This is directly against our constitution and would criminally incarcerate the offenders. . http://www.justlanded.com... Here is a general listing that should greatly concern you if even the moderates get to influence our politics. This is the warning for travelers and workers to Saudi Arabia a very moderate Sharia country [Source IBID] It’s vital that foreigners make themselves aware of the conduct required while living in Saudi Arabia, and particularly the following offences: · Men being in the company of women who aren’t close relatives. · Women being with men other than close relatives, who are treated as prostitutes and can be deported with a ‘persona non grata’ endorsement in their passports, forbidding them from returning to any Gulf state. · Women driving cars. · ‘Indiscreet’ dress (e. g. shorts or short-sleeved shirts for men, and uncovered hair, short dresses, exposed arms and shoulders for women). · Practising a religion other than Islam, carrying a Bible, wearing a cross. · Blasphemy, particularly if you swear at a Muslim, making derogatory remarks about Islam, taking the name of Allah or the Prophet Mohammed in vain, and any form of behaviour that’s deemed to be ‘immoral’. · Homosexual acts, which are illegal throughout the region, but for which punishments in Saudi Arabia range from imprisonment to flogging to deportation; there have even been instances of capital punishment. · Drug dealing and possession. (Note that, although most Gulf states decree capital punishment for those caught dealing in drugs, in Saudi Arabia this is invariably carried out. ) Conclusion: Clearly we should not allow criminal entities to decide our policies on what and who are criminals. This is all governed as such criminal entites are defined as criminal as they violate the Natural Law of Man that was self evident to our founders and is still self evident to us today. This is laid out in our constitution.
