If We Close Down All Mosques; Eliminate All Korans. THEN What ?

[Coyote]

Then tell us what happens AFTERWARDS?

Are you going to round up Muslims who still attempt to worship in their homes or private enclaves? Are you going to arrest them if they keep a Koran? Are you going to need to find some way to clearly identify them so you can keep an eye on their secret activities? What are you going to do?

That is for YOU to do. That's YOUR job here. I posed the question (Notice the title ends in a QUESTION MARK ?)

You set up a mythical situation where a religion could be banned. Surely you must have ideas - don't be shy now.

You want my answer? American's band together to restore the Constitution's protection of religion. We protest, allow Muslims to worship in our homes, hide them from arrest, join them and show solidarity with our fellow Americans and make sure every politician who voted for this is voted out.

Yes, well you're an idiot.

We don't arrest muslims for being muslims. The French did this shit, and look what it got them.

Thank goodness, the majority of the population in this country recognize what a stupid, and dangerous, thing it is to accommodate extremism.

Speaking of idiots - you didn't read what I posted did you? In his proposed scenario Mosques would be shut down and Korans banned. So are you going to arrest Muslims for having a Koran? For worshipping in other places? Where exactly is this scenario going?

Nobody is arresting Muslims for those things. And they won't.

It's a non issue.

Of course they aren't. But we're playing with Protectionists hypothetical situation (in the OP). It would never happen, not without destroying the Constitution.

It has nothing to do with "feewings" and "emoootions". It's about the Constitutional protection of religion in this country. No more. No less. We prefer to leave the "feewings" to you when you protest the building of mosques, or try to pass anti-constituional laws.

 

[protectionist]

Not at all. In fact Muslims can be "harmed " by being arrested for violating the Supremacy Clause & US Codes 2384 & 2385. And you're going OFF TOPIC. We're supposed to be talking about what happens AFTER the closing of the mosques, and eradication of all Korans. THAT is the TOPIC.

Okay- after the closing of mosques and eradication of all Korans, you and your fellow travellers are all arrested for violating the Constitutional rights of Americans, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned.

And the mosques reopen, and we import more korans- though we wouldn't ever be able to replace Thomas Jefferson's historic Koran that you burned in your own special Krystalnacht for Muslims.

Nobody is violating any Constitutional rights by closing mosques or eradicating Koran. Mosques and Korans are supremacisms over the Constitution. Nobody has a constitutional right to be supreme over the Constitution. Kids in the 5th grade know that.

Kids in 5th grade all know that Congress cannot pass any law restricting the free exercise of religion- and that is what closing houses of worship and burning religious books is.

Mosques are not houses of religion. Islam is not a religion. And religions, like anything else can be restricted (and banned 100%) if they are supremacist, and therefore in violation of Article 6, Section 2, of the Constitution.

Indeed Mosques are houses of religion.
mosque definition meaning - what is mosque in the British English Dictionary Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionaries Online
Mosque:
a building for Islamic religious activities and worship

And of course Islam is a religion

Islam: a religion based on a belief in one God and the teaching of Muhammad:

And of course the First Amendment protects both.

And you hate that.

who has protested the building of mosques? the only one I know of is the proposed trophy mosque at ground zero in NYC. Yes, there was objection to that one, and rightly so.

speaking of unconstitutional laws, how about unconstitutional executive orders? Do you support obama's unconstitutional EOs?

The left cares about the Constitution? Since when?

obama routinely ignores it, they HATE the 2nd Amendment, completely ignore the 10th Amendment, overuse, to the point of abuse, the 14th Amendment.

That's rich.... lefties citing the Constitution.

This place is always good for a laugh if nothing else

 

[NYcarbineer]

Now wait,

the RWnuts don't want to shut down all mosques,

except for the so-called ground zero mosque, and the mosque in Murfreesboro, TN, and the mosque in Temecula, CA, and the mosque in Sheboyan, WI,

well, hell,

just look at the map:

This is the claim you are trying to support with a warped version of the "supremacy clause"?

 

[Skylar]

What would be the effect of shutting Islam down in the US ? That is, by closing down all the mosques and eliminating all the Korans from libraries, schools, bookstores, and wherever they could be obtained.

It would imperil any religion as it would require a wholesale abandonment of the 1st amendment's protections for religion. If it could be done to Islam, it could be done to any religion.

I imagine the biggest winner in such a scenario would be militant atheists, who want to see all religion scrubbed from society. Stripping Americans of religious freedom entirely would be a powerful step in that direction.

 

[Dajjal]

You cannot ban the Quran, for one thing a lot of Muslims have memorised it. What you can do is show them what is wrong with it, until they realise for themselves that it cannot be the words of God.

"Until" ? And when will that be ? So far, they have been told for 1400 years, and haven't budged an inch.

There has been a lot of critical work done on the bible, but not so much on the Quran. Its now getting more attention because of the 9/11 attack. I suggest a group of scholars getting together to write a definitive literary criticism of the Quran. Some of them must be Arabic speaking, and there would need to be some with extensive knowledge of historical manuscripts. But the job could be done.

I myself have been writing criticism of the Quran since 9/11 but I am not a scholar and I cannot read the original Arabic.

What doesn't "make a lot of sense" ? That the Supremacy Clause says "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States....shall be the supreme law of the land ? And for your edification, I didn't create this "rule". The founding fathers did.

And none of this has anything to do with religion. See Post # 186.
