Why in the hell does my aunt insist on forwarding these racist, close-minded, ignorant emails to me?
The last was one called "Can a Good Muslim be a Good American?" Apparently not because they don't believe in the same "God" as the rest of America does. Because everybody knows that only good people are Christians. Um, no. (And that was sarcasm, by the way.)
It doesn't matter where the fuck a person is from. It doesn't MATTER what beliefs they may have. THIS is why people can't get along because people have the mentality that "My god is better than yours" and oh believe me, my aunt is that kind of person. It's funny because she has never come across as the religious type of person. But recently, she is looking more and more stupid as time goes by.
In my opinion, anybody can be a good American. ANYBODY! I don't care if a person's Chinese, Indonesian, Egyptian, Pakistani, or whatever. For the most part, people come here to the USA for a better life - and I hope they find it. A general rule which I think people should live by is the "golden rule" which says "treat others how you want to be treated". And there we go.
That brings me to a good friend of mine who is Muslim. Yes, he's a wonderful guy. He always has been. He's treated me extremely well (though I did not deserve it), he pays his taxes (to the US), he plays tennis, he gets along with others, he treats other people very, very well. When I lived with him, he really went out of his way to help me out just out of the kindness of his heart and ooooh I didn't deserve it. I sat around all day and pretty much did nothing except get in the way. In no circumstance has he done anything out of hatred towards anybody or anything. He loves living in the USA and he loves this country - so how can that make him ANY less American than the rest of us?
But, let's keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, that this is EXACTLY what our government is like. This is the kind of FEAR that is fed into people's minds and their very souls.
I really, really feel sorry for anybody who lives here who doesn't believe in "THE God" that our country was "founded upon". I really do. Why is this? Because it turns people against people. And it gets them talking before they even KNOW a person. The bullshit has to stop!
I have included the original email/forward as an extended entry because it even hurts me, AS AN AMERICAN, to read such nonsense and hate. Read it at your own will but please be advised: The extended entry in green is NOT, I repeat NOT, how I feel. I am not "forwarding" this because I believe it, I am sharing it to hopefully show you how retarded people can be.
It's fucking hilarious how it's a "warning list". Ooooh you people have NO idea how bad this religious bigotry pisses me off.
You know, I'm extremely lucky to have traveled to other places and met people of various race and religious beliefs. Maybe she just needs to get the fuck out of this state and country and I'll take her somewhere that's not America and leave her there. A place where the majority of people aren't white, Christian dumb fucks and SHOW her that the crap she's sending out is a bunch of stupid crap.
If I had the time, I'd respond to this and forward it to everybody she forwarded it to. That would show her to keep her damned mouth shut and her religious beliefs to herself. And I like the name Muhammad, damn it.
Thank god I don't live here full time.
Say it with me: Hooray for diversity!
BREAD IS BREAD no matter how you slice it.
CAN A GOOD MUSLIM BE A GOOD AMERICAN???????
A warning list from a friend to keep in mind:
To the point and devastating, when you think that
there are 6 million
Muslims in the United States and 20 million in all of
Europe .
The most popular name for Briton new borns is
"Muhammed" according to the
Assocated Press, perhaps because a Muslim family in
Great Britain has on
average
12 children compared to one and half per Anglo-Saxon
family.
Can a good Muslim be a good American?
I forwarded that question to a friend that worked in
Saudi Arabia for
20 years.
The following is his forwarded reply:
Theologically - no. Be cause his allegiance is to
Allah, the moon God
of Arabia
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is
accepted by his Allah
except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the
five pillars of
Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to
Mecca , to which he
turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids
him to make
friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah
(spiritual
leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and
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 (Quran
4:34).
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the
American
Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles
and he believes the
Bible to be
corrupt
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the
Quran do not
allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy
and Islam cannot
co-exist.
Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or
autocratic.
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation
under God," the
Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is
NEVER referred to as
heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The
Quran's 99 excellent
names
Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps
we should be
very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country.
They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good
Americans.
Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.
If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with
the above
statements, perhaps you will share this with your
friends. The more who
understand this, the better it will be for our country
and our future.
Pass it on Fellow Americans. The religious war is
bigger than we know
or understand.
"All that it takes for evil to triumph, is for good
people to do nothing"
