This little piece of Christofascist hatred is making the rounds through email and winding up on Christofascist web sites.

Can a good Muslim be a good American?
I sent that question to a friend
The following is his reply from a person who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
Theologically - no. Because 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 fr iends 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
cautious. Some would argue they cannot be both "good" Muslims and good
Americans. 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.
Americans are soft in this regard. The religious war is bigger than we know
or understand.

If we embrace continual learning rather than dogma, then we have a chance at real peace through understanding.
If we wear cultural blinders then we ignore the basics (food, water, housing, health care) and focus on our differences rather than our commonality.
Can a good Muslim be a good American? Can a good Jew or Taoist be a good American? Yes, because above all it is more important to be a good human.
