Democrats 'throw God' under the bus
Unbelievable... (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.Sick. Very, very sick.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”
Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
What will their Muslim supporters say? Taqqiya my friends, taqiyya.

Can't say i'm suprised Carl.
The Democratic 'universe' ain't big enough to Hold God and Obama.
Al-taqiyya at it's best.
Taqiya means 'dissumulation'. Not lying. Lying is what you do.
Freedom of religion is mandated in Islam. God tells us so in the Quran.
Anybody who comes to God has to do it voluntarily. You can't impose God on anyone.
Separation of state and religion works well for us, that is how the Caliphate operated.
Islam was never imposed on non believers.
Why dropping God's name from the DNC doesn't matter :)
Let There Be No Compulsion in Religion
http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/661/
“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things.” (Quran 2:256)
God says:
“If it had been your Lord’s will, all of the people on Earth would have believed. Would you then compel the people so to have them believe?” (Quran 10:99)
God says:
“So if they dispute with you, say ‘I have submitted my whole self to God, and so have those who follow me.’ And say to the People of the Scripture and to the unlearned: ‘Do you also submit yourselves?’ If they do, then they are on right guidance. But if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message. And in God’s sight are all of His servants.” (Quran 3:20)
God says:
“The Messenger’s duty is but to proclaim the Message.” (Quran 5:99)
-----------
jihad in Islamic Law can be waged for a number of reasons, but compelling people to accept Islam is simply not one of them. As for conversion, this is to be done peacefully by disseminating the Message with the written and spoken word. There is no place for the use of weapons to compel people to accept Islam.
The Prophet, said in his letter to the Roman governor Heraclius:
“I invite you to accept Islam. If you accept Islam, you will find safety. If you accept Islam, God will give you a double reward. However, if you turn away, upon you will be the sin of your subjects.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)
Once people have heard the Message without obstruction or hindrance and the proof has been established upon them, then the duty of the Muslims is done. Those who wish to believe are free to do so and those who prefer to disbelieve are likewise free to do so.
Even when the Muslims are compelled to fight and then, as a consequence, subdue the land, their duty thereafter is to establish God’s law in the land and uphold justice for all people, Muslim and non-Muslim. It is not their right to coerce their subjects to accept Islam against their will. Non-Muslims under Muslim rule must be allowed to remain on their own faith and must be allowed to practice the rights of their faith, though they will be expected to respect the laws of the land.
Had the purpose of jihad been to force the unbelievers to accept Islam, the Prophet would never have commanded the Muslims to refrain from hostilities if the enemy relented. He would not have prohibited the killing of women and children. However, this is exactly what he did.
"Freedom of religion is mandated in Islam. God tells us so in the Quran."
If Freedom of religion and tolerance means allowing people of other faiths the same religious liberties that Muslims enjoy, then Islam is fundamentally the most intolerant religion under the sun.
Will,
No freedom of religion means letting others live as they want. So long as they don't impose their laws on us.
The Christian Right do impose their laws, that is you I presume? Why do you think Christinaity was never successful as a ruling religion? There is no set of laws to rule by.
The Caliphate had a set of rules (from God) that's why it works.
A Jizya is the tax that non Muslims pay, and Muslims pay their own taxes, including Zakah, that's for public funds. In return for Jizya, non Muslims get freedom to do as they want in their own space. Book People get extra benefits, not that some of them deserve it.
