"America is More Islamic Than My Home Country..."
Wednesday
“America is more Islamic than my home country of Morocco.” My Muslim friend said this with great joy and assurance, while I was trying not to appear stunned. How could someone who grew up in an Islamic country for the first 25 years of his life, move and live in America for the next 25 years, prosper with his business and family, come to the conclusion that America is more Islamic than a Muslim country?
Hayat sat in the shade and described his younger years of being raised in the Islamic culture. Like many Muslim youth, his family attended the local mosque because that was what good Muslims do. However, like many Muslims and many Christians, his faith was only a thin veneer of going through the motions.
As his fellow Muslims were flowing into the nearby mosque, he quietly answered the questions I posed without any sense of contempt toward me and was genuinely interested in trying to correct misperceptions I might have about Islam.
He shared his story of coming to America 25 years earlier, meeting his wife (Muslim) and starting his business that slowly grew into a successful trading business that took him back to his home country on a regular basis. A family man with several children, he talked about his “re-conversion” back to Islam as he prospered economically. In his mind, the only explanation for this was Allah choosing to bless him and therefore as his wealth grew, so did his faith in Islam and Allah.
“When I visit Morocco, all I see is corruption, poverty, violence and suffering among the people…that is not Islam. As we sit here in the shade, we sit in peace, we are comfortable, there is no poverty to speak of and Allah has blessed me with great economic gain…that is how Islam is to be, peaceful, prosperous and enjoyable.” And there you have it…Islam in a nutshell…”submit” and you will prosper.
As I felt my head exploding, I refrained from pointing out to him much of America’s culture would not be allowed in a truly Islamic country, i.e. equal rights for women and LGBT, freedom to choose something other than Allah, freedom to speak, or a thousand other things Sharia forbids. My follow up question brought an even more surprising answer, “So you think in 30-50 years the US will replace democracy with Sharia law?”
He quickly but politely discarded my suggestion with a wave of his hand and said, “no, no, too political” which was quickly followed up with this chilling statement, “…but, in 300 years, yes, Sharia will be law of the land in the US.” He said this with the certainty of someone who knows the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.
This unique glimpse into the mind of an American Muslim revealed two fundamental problems that Americans face when discussing Islam with Muslims and non-Muslims. Americans think in terms of hours, days or months but rarely attempt to imagine our culture or country with the yardstick of a century, much less 300 years. To a Muslim, Islam has been around for 1400 years. A country that has been around for 250 years will be just another country that is absorbed into the Islamic tsunami that began 1400 years ago and continues today. After all, just 100 years after Muhammad’s death, the map of Islamic conquered lands stretched from Afghanistan to Spain.
The second issue is: We assume refugees and/or immigrants from the Middle East living here will find our freedoms and democracy preferable to any other ideology. The fact that 51% of Muslims living in the U.S. responded positively in a recent poll to this statement, “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Sharia” should dispel the myth that among Muslims a large majority prefer democracy over Sharia law. Add to this a Pew Research poll that showed 60% of Muslim-Americans under 30 are more loyal to Islam than America. Where do the majority of jihadists come from? This very demographic group.
Hayat’s neighbors point to him as the “peaceful Muslim” who is the poster child for “all” Muslims and shuts down any questioning of Islam as a violent ideology by invoking, “but my neighbor Hayat is no terrorist” into the conversation. In reality Hayat is more dangerous than a jihadist suicide bomber. Hayat knows the truth behind Islam and is comfortable with it. His non-Muslim friends are clueless.
There was little doubt in my mind that Hayat would not be strapping a suicide vest on his chest as we departed. As for his children or grandchildren becoming jihadists, I’m not so sure. Hayat and I departed on good terms, he returned to his car, and I assume he drove home and enjoyed an evening with his family telling them about the interesting infidel he met that afternoon.
Hayat sleeps well as a believer in the inevitability of Islam while his non-Muslim neighbors and friends walk around in ignorance and bliss. Time is on Islam’s side and there will be plenty of other jihadists willing to strike terror in the hearts of non-believers and force them into submission. Hayat knows the truth about Islam, but more Americans are learning the truth too. Will they have the courage to share it without fear of being labeled a “hater” or Islamophobic? Our children’s and grandchildren’s future will be determined by our courage to speak the truth about Islam.

If this questionable claim is true that America is very "Islamic" then it stands to reason that America is not the land of the God of the Bible. For the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. The reasons for this are many,just to site two as examples. First, the Koran the "holy book" of the Islamic god teaches in 112 "He is alone: God the eternal.He begetteth not... " and "It is not befitting to God that he beget a son." 19:35. In great contrast to this, the scriptures of the God of the Bible teaches in John 1:14. that "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,and we beheld His glory ,the glory ,as of the only begotten of the father ,full of grace and truth. [N.K.J.V.] Further in John 3:16 it gives the every important information which reads "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son..." Second, the god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die. For example, the day after the London train bombing, on July 8, 2005 on Palestinian television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
As shown in an earlier posting the god of Islam is not the same god as the God of the Bible. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20. [KJV] In short, if America really is Islamic then the god of America is not the God of the Bible. For the Islamic god is a terribly different then the God of the Bible.

read above news
after reading the above, it seems as if nothing can stop europe from becoming islamic.
Even if Donald trump comes , USA will become islamic in next 300 years
If Greet wilders and la pen of netherlands and france comes to power, it will delay the process but nothing will stop it seems.
may be in 30% of european nations, there is a leader like greet wilders or la pen.
In rest 70% of european nations , there is not a single leader who speaks about anti immigration
so if 70% of europe becomes islamic , canada becomes islamic and even the christians are not ready to eradicate muslims like crussades, i dont see any future for christianity, free world
Im not even a christian, im a hindu
Related to the topic of this article might be the wise words spoken by Theodore Roosevelt which may apply to now. His words are "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else."

A message, very much ,need to be sent to those stealth jihad- minded Muslims who are living in the USA who attempt to have Sharia law enacted in this country.,as Omar and Tlaib They need to be reminded that the United States had something that is far better than Sharia law. It’s the US Constitution. This is America, not Iran.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
There is an Islamic movement in American that is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism.
In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia law.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
The scheming jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in the USA engage in the doctrines of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam.
Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.]
Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”
Some of the jihad-minded Muslims use the strategy that is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya in the stealth jihad for Islam. Taqiyya is the Islamic dogma that deception is a good ploy as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia in America.
Therefore, about those who engage in deception the Bible informs its readers that “Enemies disguised themselves with their lips. Proverbs 26:24. Further in the same chapter of Proverbs [v.26 ] teaches Their malice may be concealed by deception.” [N.I.V.] In conclusion .Let’s not be beguiled to the sly and insidious Muslim methods of Traqiyya.
Much of the greatness of the history of the United States of America is because this nation was, mostly m founded and based upon the Judo- Christian percepts and the concepts and values of Bible based Christianity and not Islamic precepts and “values.”
As the second President of the United States, John Adams, had, so well, declared when he wrote that “The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity …. I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are eternal and immutable as the existence of God.”
