A Muslim for President?

Chapter 1

Carson, a Republican candidate for President, made remarks recently that a Muslim should not be President.  

One of the news networks was then quick to point out that the law says that no religious test can be applied to candidates for public office.  

Carson is essentially correct, even if he may not have framed his comments in the best legal terms.  

Though the law prohibits a religious test, there's another test that can and should be applied to candidates for public office, and that's the test of loyalty and allegiance to our nation and to our Constitution and to our other laws.  

In fact, when the new President is sworn in, he must promise to uphold the Constitution in taking his oath of office.  

When the new President swears his oath on the Bible, it means he intends before God in heaven to keep the oath that he is taking.  

(And the implication is that he could suffer the wrath of God if he doesn't keep his oath.)  

But when Muslims take such an oath, they only mean to keep the oath until such a time as Allah may wish them to do otherwise.  

People who join the United States military must also take an oath.  You must promise to obey all lawful orders given to you.  

If you won't take that oath, then you can't join the U.S. military.

Major Hasan, of the Ft. Hood Massacre, took that oath when he joined the Army, and then he violated his oath by not going to the war zone, as he was ordered to do.  (The Army would have provided his transportation.)  

Things seemed to be going O.K. with Hasan until he got those orders.  But when he got the orders, he didn't like them.  

So, instead of obeying the orders, he decided to become a Muslim martyr, and go to heaven, which is one of the lies that Muslims are taught.  

Hasan got his guns, and started shooting people.  He expected that someone would shoot him so that he could die as a Muslim martyr, rather than obey those lawful orders from the Army.  

But something went wrong with Hasan's plan.  Someone did shoot him, but it didn't kill him.  So he was arrested, tried in court, and sent to prison.  

Now some might say at this point that we should distinguish between radical Muslims and non-radical Muslims.

But it is not so easy to make that distinction.

Whether radical, or non-radical, all Muslims are taught that if you die as a Muslim martyr, you go straight to heaven.  

Some of the male Muslims are even taught the lie that if you die a Muslim martyr, you go to a heaven where you receive 72 virgins to be your wives.  

That's a lie because Jesus said that in heaven there is no marriage nor giving in marriage.  

Hasan's idea that you kill "Infidels," and then die and go to heaven is also a lie because in 1 John 3:15 we read, "No murderer has eternal life abiding in him."  

Eternal life and going to heaven are the same thing.   

The Muslims even have a word, "tahis," which means lying to the Infidels.  And Muslims are encouraged to lie to Infidels.   

There is another law similar to the one above that prohibits racial profiling.  

Basically that means that we shouldn't automatically suspect a person of being terrorist just because he appears to be an Arab or a Muslim.  

But isn't it true that most terrorists are Arabs and Muslim?

Yes.  

So then this law that prohibits racial profiling seems to be based on not the best wisdom.  

Chapter 2

As an example of "tahis" and Muslims lying to Infidels (and to the Muslims, anyone who is not a Muslim is an Infidel), there was a case reported on TV a while back, where a Muslim man proposed marriage to an American woman, here in the States.  

One of her big concerns was that after they had children, he might try to take the children and disappear back into his native Muslim nation.  

She made him swear on the Koran that he wouldn't do that.  

Later, after they had children, he did exactly what he had sworn not to do.  

So the woman followed him to that Muslim nation and sued him in court there.  

The court in that predominantly Muslim nation ruled that his swearing to her about this matter didn't count as legitimate since it was an oath to an Infidel.  

In other words, when you think you have an agreement with Muslims, you don't really have an agreement, because you are an Infidel, as they see it, and so, deserve to be lied to.   

Thus, you can't do business with these people, and they hold you in contempt because you are not a Muslim.  

And when these people say, "Death to America," they are deadly serious.  

There is a brand of frankfurters.  Seems like it's Hebrew National franks.  In their commercials, they say, "We answer to a higher power."  

That's a way of trying to say that they have better quality because they fear God.  

But similarly, the Muslims answer to a higher power in their own thinking and in their teachings.  They answer to the teachings of Islam and to Allah, whom they think to be god.  

I've written quite a lot about this matter in my various books.  

The real God has a son, Jesus.  Allah does not.  Therefore Allah is not the real God.  

This answering to a higher power by Muslims is how Major Hasan was able to rationalize and justify in his own thinking the shooting of innocent people at Ft. Hood, Texas.  

But it was not an issue with Hasan until he got orders that he didn't like, and that he chose not to obey, in violation of his oath to obey all lawful orders.  

Then, at that point, his answering to a "higher power" kicked in, so that his oath was totally disregarded by Hasan.

Thus, a Muslim should not be President.  Not because of his religious beliefs, but because a loyalty oath on his part is something to be disregarded when the time seems right.  

Essentially, the Muslims don't speak our language.  When they take an oath, they don't mean what they're saying, and that oath is to be broken when the right time comes along.  

Should such a person be President?  Of course not.  

By these practices, Muslims put themselves in the same category as Perjurers, people who lie while under oath in courts.  

Should Perjurers hold public office?  Of course not.  

And this is why Muslims also should not be allowed to be members of the U.S. military, because, whenever they take a notion to, they are likely to start killing their fellow soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen.  

We don't discriminate against them because they're Muslims, but because they have an allegiance to a "higher power" (they think), meaning Islam and Allah, whom they think is God, and who may wish them to violate oaths that they make to "Infidels."  

Actually, there is reason to suspect that there is no such being as Allah.  When the real God wants someone killed, he is well able to kill them himself.  And there are numerous examples of that in the Bible, such as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Please see my book, "Does God kill people?"

But when Allah wants someone dead, he seems to be powerless to actually do the execution without the help of a Muslim man or woman.  

The fact is, to be a Muslim, and therefore have Islam as your religion, is a form of insanity.  The main cause of insanity is demons.  

Demons are fallen angels that rebelled against God back when Satan did.  

Demons get into people and make them insane.  The degree to which the host person is insane depends on how much strength the demons have in that person.

Just becoming a Muslim opens the door to demons, as with becoming a member of any false religion.  

You don't make a religious test out of it.  You make it a test of whether the person can reasonably be expected to keep the oath that they'll be taking.

And, Muslims, as we have seen, can't be reasonably expected to keep their oaths to us "Infidels."   

Thus, they fail the loyalty test.  

Jesus said, "You must be born again." (John chapt 3)

To become a Christian, obey Romans 10:9,10--
"That if you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you're saved.  For with the heart man believes for righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made for salvation."  

___James chapter 1
 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are dispersed around, greetings.
 2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various temptations,
 3 Knowing this, that the testing of your faith works patience.
 4 But let patience have its perfect work, so you'll be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives to all men liberally, and won't find fault, and it shall be given to him.
 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
 7 For let that man not think that he'll receive anything from the Lord.
 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted,
 10 But the rich, in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he'll pass away.
 11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower of it falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes, so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
 12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for after he's been tested, he'll receive the crown of life, that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man,
 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
 15 Then when lust has conceived, it produces sin, and sin when it's finished, produces death.
 16 Do not err, my beloved brothers.
 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
 18 He chose to father us with the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
 19 So, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
 20 For the anger of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God.
 21 So, lay apart all filthiness and the unnecessary naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man seeing his natural face in a mirror,
 24 For he sees himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
 26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is for nothing.
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

___James chapter 2
 1 My brothers, don't have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
 2 For if a man with a gold ring comes to your assembly in fancy clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes comes in also,
 3 And you have respect to him that wears the fancy clothes, and say to him, "Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there, or sit here under my footstool,"
 4 Aren't you then partial in yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts?
 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, hasn't God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
 6 But you have despised the poor.  Don't rich men oppress you, and bring you before the judgment seats?
 7 Don't they blaspheme that worthy name by which you're called?
 8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor like yourself," you do well,
 9 But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as sinners.
 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
 11 For he that said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not kill."  Now if you don't commit adultery, yet if you kill, you've become a breaker of the law.
 12 Speak in such a way, and do, as those who'll be judged by the law of liberty.
 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy that has shown no mercy, and mercy rejoices against judgment.
 14 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man says he has faith, and doesn't have works?  Can faith save him?
 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes, and lacks daily food,
 16 And one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you don't give them the things that are needed for the body, what good is that?
 17 Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead, being alone.
 18 Yes, a man could say, "You have faith, and I have works, show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my works."
 19 You believe that there is one God, you do well, the devils also believe, and tremble.
 20 But don't you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
 21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar?
 22 Do you see how faith worked with his deeds, and by works faith was made perfect?
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."
 24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
 25 Likewise also wasn't Rahab the prostitute justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
 26 For like the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

___James chapter 3
 1 My brothers, don't be many masters, knowing that we'll receive the greater condemnation.
 2 For in many things we offend all.  If any man doesn't offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
 3 See, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so they'll obey us, and we turn around their whole bodies.
 4 Look also at the ships, which though they're so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they're turned around by a very small helm, wherever the captain wants.
 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things.  See how great a matter a little fire kindles!
 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, so is the tongue among our members that it makes dirty the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell.
 7 For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of snakes, and of things in the sea, gets tamed, and has been tamed by mankind,
 8 But no man can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
 9 With it we bless God, the Father, and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.  My brothers, these things ought not to be.
 11 Does a fountain send out at the same place sweet water and bitter?
 12 Can the fig tree, my brothers, produce olive berries?  Or a vine, figs?  So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
 13 Who is a wise man, possessing knowledge among you?  Let him show out of a good lifestyle his works with meekness of wisdom.
 14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, don't glory, and don't lie against the truth.
 15 This wisdom doesn't descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be reasoned with, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those who make peace.

___James chapter 4
 1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from?  Don't they come from your lusts that war in your members?
 2 You lust, and don't have, you kill, and desire to have, and can't obtain, you fight and war, yet you don't have, because you don't ask.
 3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask wrongly, so you can consume it on your lusts.
 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?  Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God.
 5 Do you think that the scripture says for nothing, "The spirit that lives in us lusts to envy?"
 6 But he gives more grace.  So he says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he'll run away from you.
 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.
 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and cry, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he'll lift you up.
 11 Don't speak evil about each other, brothers.  He that speaks evil about his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil about the law, and judges the law, but if you judge the law, you're not a doer of the law, but a judge.
 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy, who are you that judges someone else?
 13 Go on now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we'll go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and make a profit,"
 14 Actually, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.  For what is your life?  It is a puff of steam, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
 15 For you ought to say, "Lord willing, we'll live, and do this, or that."
 16 But now you rejoice in your boastings, all such rejoicing is evil.
 17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

___James chapter 5
 1 Go on now, you rich men, cry and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten.
 3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire.  You've heaped treasure together for the last days.
 4 See, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which you've kept back by fraud, shouts, and the shouts of those who've reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath.
 5 You've lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton, you've nourished your hearts, like in a day of slaughter.
 6 You've condemned and killed the just, and he doesn't resist you.
 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.  See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
 8 You also be patient.  Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is getting near.
 9 Don't grudge against each other, brothers, so you won't be condemned, see, the judge stands at the door.
 10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who've spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
 11 See, we count them happy that endure.  You've heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
 12 But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, not by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and your no, no, so that you don't fall into condemnation.
 13 Is anyone among you afflicted?  Let him pray.  Is anyone merry?  Let him sing psalms.
 14 Is anyone sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,
 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed sins, he'll be forgiven.
 16 Confess your faults to each other, and pray for each other so you'll be healed.  The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes a lot.
 17 Elijah was a man subject to the same kind of passions that we are, and he prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months.
 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
 19 Brothers, if any of you strays from the truth, and someone converts him,
 20 Let him know, that he that converts the sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
