Yes, I meant to say exactly what those words clearly spell out. I am worried about women in Islamic head scarfs who represent American citizens in Congress. There is no reconciling Islam and the First 10 Constitutional Amendments, the Bill of Rights. I was expecting to do a lot of research and a little reasoning, but fortunately for me the work has been done. There are multiple sites and pages on the subject, and I found this one here to be right to the point, thoroughly researched and well presented. Thank you themediadesk.com .
I will now paraphrase: you have no individual rights as a citizen of an Islamic country, especially as a woman. There is no freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to gather in public, or freedom to criticize the government. You may not own a gun, and you will host anyone you are told to by the local magistrate at his discretion. He can also order a search of your house at any time for any reason, and since there is no due process to speak of, you can kiss your rights of the accused good-bye. You may be treated differently than the next accused based on the judges mood and what he had for dinner. As in you can be jailed indefinitely for no or any reason, denied bail, denied a lawyer, tried in a kangaroo court in secret and be disappeared without any recourse from anyone. You, the person, do not matter and do not count. You exist to serve the state. In theory at least, in America the state exists to serve you.
So there are the basic fundamental differences in how we think and act in America, and how the Islamic parts of the world actually work. In order to be an American, one must accept and truly believe in the Bill of Rights. One must actually live by the principles of those amendments. Living under/with Islam and Sharia is about surrendering yourself-and all aspects of your life-to the will of Allah. Being an American is about existing as an individual in a sea of many other individuals who live together but not as one. Each of us has free will, and while we are a social and communal society, we recognize each person as separate from the whole. Instead of "all for one and one for all", it's more like "every man for himself!" And that's not a bad thing, at least for those who are doers.
