The Multicultural Left encourages
Anti-Constitution/Anti-American-Heritage religion Islam to take up roots in
America in the name of diversity. In case you didn’t realize it, DIVERSITY =
DIVISION!
Two national mottos are stamped in American history
representative of who we are as a nation of people. The first national motto
codified by Congress on the United Seal in 1782 is E Pluribus Unum. The
motto is Latin for “from many, one”. The other national motto is In
God We Trust encoded by Congress in 1956 (Wikipedia).
I am quite committed to both mottos, but I want to focus on “from many, one”
in an American cultural perspective.
Whether you believe this motto refers to 13 former British
Colonies becoming one to form one nation or a nation of European immigrants who
became one-people to form one nation; the point is ‘DIVERSITY” has no part in
America blending many people into one nation with one culture (which duh,
was a Judeo-Christian heritage!). Why? AGAIN, because DIVERSITY =
DIVISION!
President Abraham Lincoln completely understood as a nation
divided, America would break up into weak independent States. He engaged in the
Civil War against the Southern States that perceived Lincoln would promote an ever-growing
Northern States attitude that the institution of slavery was immoral and should
be abolished.
Rather an adopt a greater moral stand in catching up with
the moral imperative that human beings should never be treated as property, all
humans are created by God and God does not created some humans better than
others. Rather the Christian perspective Man fell from union with God in Eden
and Man has an opportunity of choice to re-institute that union in Jesus
Christ.
That is ALL mankind (or humankind if you are a
politically correct Multiculturalist Leftist) regardless of racial lines.
Indeed Lincoln used the Biblical
picture in his House Divided speech when he ran for Senator
in Illinois indicating division is weakness:
A house divided against itself,
cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave
and half free. I do not expect the Union to
be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will
cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the
opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where
the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate
extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful
in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South. (Quoted
from Wikipedia; Lincoln's
House Divided Speech; page was last edited on 6/1/18 at 11:55)
Even though the Civil War came to a fighting point due to
Southern wanting to preserve their culture based on State Sovereignty, the
fight evolved into a fight on which culture (North or South) would be
perpetuated: The Northern belief of a culture of a moral imperative on human
nature or a Southern belief that a slave economy is essential to preserve the
Southern way of life. Preserving the Union of American States initiated a
Christian moral imperative for all Americans illuminating humans as property.
In reality it has taken over 100 years for the descendants of former slaves to
achieve the united Civil Rights of the descendants on non-slaves. There is
still a lot cultural healing for African-Americans to experience because
American non-slaves were indoctrinated that Black-skinned humans were inferior
to White-skinned humans.
At this point I could spin-off to a number of subjects
relating to how the Diversity thinking of Multiculturalist has increased
division in America more than a continued healing of America bringing about an
E Pluribus Unum, but I want focus on one divisive oriented issue that has
really been imported to America in the name of Multiculturalism.
That imported divisive issue is promoting immigration of
Muslim refugees that have been ingrained with the Islamic culture of
intolerance of all things NOT Islamic. Lincoln began the union of cultural
values by preserving the Union of American States. The American Left (cough –
Democrats) is setting the stage for another divided America to fester into
violence resulting between preserving our American Heritage and those committed
to transforming American culture into self-destructive diverse peoples with no
national loyalty but loyalty to only segments of like-minded people. You could call
this segmenting Tribalism.
What is Tribalism?
2 strong in-group loyalty
➽ a very strong feeling of loyalty to a political or social group, so that you support them whatever they do
There is ZERO E Pluribus Unum in Tribalism. A
Tribalistic culture in America means this great Republic that our Founding
Fathers fought for will not survive.
There can be no “from many, one” nation with a
theo-political ethos that calls for the destruction or subservience of all
things non-Islamic because Islam is superior.
No Coexistence Foolish
Infidels
Search Engines are dominated by Multiculturalist thinking so
you may actually have a difficult experience finding Islam/Constitution
contradictions. When I began a search the top results were Muslim apologists
trying to twist incompatibilities as irrelevant. After working with various
phrases I found an honest comparison on WND:
The First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution states that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free
exercise of religion, yet the Quran states in Sura 4:89, “Those who reject
Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take hold of them and
kill them wherever you find them.”
In Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari (Vol. 9,
Book 84, No. 57), Muhammad said: “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill
him.”
Islamic law relegates non-Muslims
to “dhimmi” status, where they are not to propagate their customs amongst
Muslims and cannot display a Cross or a Star of David.
The First Amendment states
Congress shall not abridge “the freedom of speech,” yet Islamic law
enforces dhimmi status on non-Muslims, prohibiting them from observing their
religious practices publicly, raising their voices during prayer or ringing
church bells.
The First Amendment states Congress
cannot take away “the right of the people to peaceably assemble,” yet
Islamic law states non-Muslims cannot build any new places of worship or repair
any old places Muslims have destroyed; they must allow Muslims to participate
in their private meetings; they cannot bring their dead near the graveyards of
Muslims or mourn their dead loudly.
The First Amendment states
Congress cannot take away the right of the people “to petition the Government
for a redress of grievances,” yet Islamic law states non-Muslims are not to
harbor any hostility toward the Islamic state or give comfort to those who
disagree with Islamic government.
The Second Amendment states,
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” yet
Islamic law states non-Muslims cannot possess arms, swords or weapons of any
kind.
The Third Amendment states one
cannot be forced to “quarter” someone in their house, yet Islamic law
states non-Muslims must entertain and feed for three days any Muslim who wants
to stay in their home, and for a longer period if the Muslim falls ill – and
they cannot prevent Muslim travelers from staying in their places of worship.
The Fourth Amendment guarantees
“the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and
effects against unreasonable searches and seizures,” yet Islamic law states
if a non-Muslim rides on a horse with a saddle and bridle, the horse can be
taken away.
The Fifth Amendment states that
“no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime …
without due process of law,” yet Muhammad said, “No Muslim should be killed
for killing a Kafir (infidel)” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, No. 50).
The Sixth Amendment guarantees a
“public trial by an impartial jury” and the Seventh Amendment states
“the right of trial by jury shall be preserved,” yet Islamic law does not
give non-Muslims equal legal standing with Muslims, even prohibiting a
non-Muslim from testifying in court against a Muslim.
The Eighth Amendment states
there shall be no “cruel and unusual punishments inflicted,” yet the Quran
states:
“Cut off the hands of thieves,
whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done – a
deterrent from Allah” (Sura 5:38). … READ ENTIRETY – Bold Emphasis

When most American lawmakers agreed that Communism was a
threat to our Constitutional Republic, treason description was broadened
through the Smith Act in 1940. The original Smith Act had some Constitutional
problems that has modified the Act since its 1940 inception. Here is an excerpt
from Conservative News and Views relating to the Smith Act:
The Smith Act
Here is some information about the
Smith Act gleaned from Internet:
The Alien Registration Act of 1940,
usually called the Smith Act because its anti-sedition section was authored by
Representative Howard W. Smith of Virginia, is prescribed in 54 Statutes at
Large 670-671 (1940). The Act has been amended several times and can now be
found at 18 U.S. Code § 2385 (2000).
§ 2385. Advocating Overthrow of
Government.
Whoever knowingly or willfully
advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or
propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or
the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the
government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by
the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the
overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits,
issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or
printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity,
desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the
United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or
attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach,
advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by
force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such
society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof–
…
The Smith Act and Muslim groups
The Smith Act clearly applies to
Muslim organizations in the United States such as CAIR, the Council on
American–Islamic Relations. CAIR is an Islamic supremacist organization that
pioneered 20th century Islamic terrorism, and it sanctions violence against the
United States. CAIR is headquartered on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and
has regional offices nationwide. Through media relations, lobbying, and
education, CAIR promotes Islamic, hence anti-American perspectives to the
American public, while promoting social and political activism among Muslims in
America. Moreover, CAIR is suspected of being linked to terrorist organizations
such as the Muslim Brotherhood and to HAMAS in the Gaza strip. Of course, no
action will be taken against CAIR as long as Barack Obama is in the White
House.
…
Islamic terrorism constitutes a
clear and present danger to the United States, as understood by the language of
the Smith Act. Hence, patriotic American statesmen and organizations should
rise up and sound the warning that America has been penetrated by her deadliest
enemy. – READ

EIDELBERG; Conservative
News and Views; 6/14/16)
For clarity, the Smith Act was amended because a thought of
criminal activity is not unconstitutional. The Act was amended that actions
planned and/or acted upon fits the Constitutional parameters. Here is an
excerpt of some of the history the Act’s amendments:
Under a 1956 amendment to the Smith
Act, if two or more persons conspire to commit any offense described in the
statute, each is subject to a maximum fine of $20,000 or a maximum term of
imprisonment of twenty years, or both, and is ineligible for employment by
the United
States or its agencies for five years after conviction. The
Smith Act, as enacted in 1940, contained a conspiracy provision, but effective
September 1, 1948, the Smith Act was repealed and substantially reenacted as
part of the 1948 recodification, minus the conspiracy provision. On June 25,
1948, the Federal general conspiracy statute was passed, effective September 1,
1948, which contained the same provisions as the deleted conspiracy section of
the original Smith Act except that the showing of overt acts was required and
the maximum penalty became five years' imprisonment instead of ten (18 U.S.C.A.
§ 2385). The general conspiracy statute became operative, with respect to
conspiracies to violate the Smith Act, substantially in the same manner and to
the same extent as previously.
The conspiracy provisions of the
Smith Act and its provisions defining the substantive offenses have been
upheld. An intent to cause the overthrow of the government by force and
violence is an essential
element of the offenses. The advocacy of peaceful change in
U.S. social, economic, or political institutions, irrespective of how
fundamental or expansive or drastic such proposals might be, is not forbidden.
A conspiracy can exist even though
the activities of the defendants do not culminate in an attempt to overthrow
the government by force and violence. A conspiracy to advocate overthrow of the
government by force or violence, as distinguished from the advocacy itself, can
be constitutionally restrained even though it consists of mere preparation
because the existence of the conspiracy creates the peril.
An agreement to advocate forcible
overthrow of the government is not an unlawful conspiracy under the Smith Act
if the agreement does not call for advocacy of action; the act covers only
advocacy of action for the overthrow of the government by force and violence
rather than advocacy or teaching of theoretical concepts. … READ

The point to be realized is Religious Freedom does not
protect members of a religion if they actively prepare and work to overthrow
the government of the United States Republic. Multicultural Diversity
encourages a divisiveness that emboldens treason, sedition and/or rebellion.
Americans should not fear Multiculturalist political
correctness to tell their Representatives and Senators to be wary of any
religion – not just Islam – that advocates the overthrow of the U.S.
government. Even if it means shutting down donations from nations or foreign
NGOs that have a design to undermine or destroy the American Constitutional
Rule of Law. Or shutting Mosques (or perhaps White Pride Identity Churches)
that ACTIVELY (as defined by treason, sedition and rebellion) place
their beliefs above the Rule of Law.
These thoughts were inspired by the recent actions of the
Austrian government that has done exactly what I have described above about
Mosques and subversive monies from foreign entities.

foreign funding of religious groups.… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2018/06/08/austria-to-close-seven-mosques-and-expel-dozens-of-imams
********************
Austria's right-wing government plans to shut down seven
mosques and expel up to 40 foreign-funded imams in crackdown against Islamist
ideology
- Chancellor
Sebastian Kurz announced the measures in a news conference
- Kurz
said a hardline Turkish nationalist mosque in Vienna is going to be
closed
- The
Arab Religious Community that runs six mosques will also be
dissolved
- Ankara
quickly denounced the move, saying the move 'is a reflection of the
anti-Islam, racist and discriminatory populist wave' in Austria
Austria said today it could expel up to 60 Turkish-funded
imams and their families and would shut down seven mosques as part of a
crackdown on 'political Islam' that was described as 'just the beginning',
triggering fury in Ankara.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the government is shutting a
hardline Turkish nationalist mosque in Vienna and dissolving a group called the
Arab Religious Community that runs six mosques.
His coalition government, an alliance of conservatives and
the far right, came to power soon after Europe's migration crisis on promises
to prevent another influx and clamp down on benefits for new immigrants and
refugees.
In a previous job as minister in charge of integration,
Chancellor Kurz oversaw the passing of a tough 'law on Islam' in 2015, which
banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim
societies to have 'a positive fundamental view towards (Austria's) state and
society'.
'Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalisation have
no place in our country,' Kurz told a news conference outlining the
government's decisions, which were based on that law.
'This is just the beginning,' far-right Vice Chancellor
Heinz-Christian Strache added.
Ankara quickly denounced the move, and
Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on Twitter: 'Austria's
decision to close down seven mosques and deport imams with a lame excuse is a
reflection of the anti-Islam, racist and discriminatory populist wave in this
country.'
Scroll down for video
Interior Minister Herbert Kickl of the far-right Freedom
Party (FPOe), the junior partner in Austria's coalition government, said: 'The
circle of people possibly affected by these measures - the pool that we're
talking about - comprises around 60 imams.'
Kickl was referring to imams with alleged links to the
Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations (ATIB) organisation, a branch of Turkey's
religious affairs agency Diyanet.
The interior minister added that the government suspects
them of contravening a ban on foreign funding of religious office holders.
The ministry said 40 of them had an active application for
extending their residency and that a number of these had already been referred
to immigration authorities, where a process for expelling them was underway.
Once family members were taken into account, a total 150
people risked losing their right to residence, Kickl told a Vienna press
conference.
Seven mosques will also be shut after an investigation by
Austria's religious affairs authority sparked by images which emerged in April
of children in a Turkish-backed mosque playing dead and re-enacting the World
War I battle of Gallipoli.
'Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalisation have
no place in our country,' said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz of the ruling
centre-right People's Party.
The photos of children, published by the Falter weekly,
showed the young boys in camouflage uniforms marching, saluting, waving Turkish
flags and then playing dead.
Their 'corpses' were then lined up and draped in the flags.
The mosque in question was run by ATIB.
ATIB itself condemned the photos at the time, calling the event
'highly regrettable' and saying it was 'called off before it had even ended'.
One of the mosques targeted by Friday's measure was in the
Favoriten district of Vienna.
The government said it had been operating illegally and that
it was under the influence of the far-right Turkish political movement, the
Grey Wolves.
Worshippers arriving for Friday prayers were met with a sign
on the door reading 'closed' in Turkish and German.
Kursant, a 26-year-old, told AFP: 'I've been coming to this
mosque frequently since I was a child, I've had lessons here, I've never heard
anyone at the mosque, any of the employees, express any Salafist opinions.
That's laughable.'
Six other mosques are being closed down, three in Vienna,
two in Upper Austria and one in Carinthia.
All but one of the mosques affected belong to the 'Arab
Religious Association,' according to the government.
But while Turkey's presidential spokesman on Friday lambaste
the measures as 'anti-Islam' and 'racist' move, other European far-right leaders
welcomed the announcement.
Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French Front National, said
on Twitter: 'Austria is taking things in hand and showing that 'when you want
to, you can!''
Matteo Salvini, head of Italy's League and interior minister
in the new government, also tweeted his approval, saying: 'Those who exploit
their faith to endanger a country's security should be expelled!'
Turkey's relations with Austria have long been strained,
with Kurz calling on the European Union to break off negotiations on Ankara
joining the bloc and banning Turkish politicians from campaigning in Austria
for upcoming elections.
Austria, a country of 8.8 million people, has roughly
600,000 Muslim inhabitants, more than half of whom are Turkish or have families
of Turkish origin.
Around 360,000 people of Turkish origin live in Austria,
including 117,000 Turkish nationals.
Last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked
Kurz, saying: 'This immoral chancellor has a problem with us'.
'He's throwing his weight around and making a scene,'
Erdogan went on.
Both Kurz, of the centre-right People's Party (OeVP) and the
FPOe made immigration and integration major themes in their election campaigns
last year.
The topic had been pushed up the political agenda by the
migrant crisis of 2015-16, which saw more than 150,000 people seek asylum in
the country of 8.7 million.
In Friday's press conference Kurz was keen to emphasise that
the action was being taken under legislation to regulate Islamic associations
that he himself brought in as a minister in the previous government and which
had so far - in his opinion - not been used often enough.
The conservative Kurz became chancellor in December in a
coalition with the anti-migration Freedom Party.
In campaigning for last year's election, both coalition
parties called for tougher immigration controls, quick deportations of
asylum-seekers whose requests are denied and a crackdown on radical Islam.
The government recently announced plans to ban girls in
elementary schools and kindergartens from wearing headscarves, adding to
existing restrictions on veils.
