The Muslims in this piece are not afraid and are trying to use our Constitution against us, but the Separation of Church and State will be the way to stop the craziness.
They said Sharia is their law and we should not interfere but he didn’t say that a lot of that law is against our law. In the U.S., the Constitution overrides religion, and that is how we were born. It’s not good in all situations, but no document is better, and our longevity shows it. We’re at a tipping point. An Islamic school, I guess, is ok; nothing different than a Catholic school. But I hope both sides are monitored for what they teach, and that is where it gets tricky.
There is no problem teaching religion, but if the religion teaches death and destruction of non-followers, that would be a problem. Hang on, because this will get interesting, and the fights are already starting. The Dearborn Mayor, a Muslim, is being taken to court for holding Islam in preference to Christianity and Judaism. This city is ~45% Muslim. I can’t wait for the result. All IMO.
“Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.
“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”
He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.”
“There’s communists that believe in communism and live in America,” Farooq continued. “The current mayor of New York is a socialist. Bernie Sanders is open socialist. … Our president — I don’t know what the, what he is actually. I don’t think he knows what he is. … But he has that right according to the Constitution. … There are Satanists. There’s a church of Satan. I’ve debated them.”
Farooq works with the One Message Foundation and is a viral social media influencer. His Instagram and YouTube pages boast 430,000 and 1.4 million followers, respectively. The One Message Foundation’s homepage says it, together with other groups, converted nearly 1,500 individuals to Islam during the World Cup. Farooq’s social media videos feature his commentary speaking of polygamy as legitimate and speculating that President Donald Trump may be an evil spirit.
The event host, Authentic Ilm Mission (AIM), which is led by Dr. Karim AbuZaid and Farooq, is fundraising for an expansive Islamic facility “in one of the most densely Muslim-populated areas between Richardson and Plano,” according to the group’s website. On the former site of a Christian church, the four-acre campus and its facilities — 40,000 square feet in total — will be used to host “Islamic K-12 education,” a seminary, and training in Da’wah, that is, Islamic proselytization.”
