Constitutionalist / Universalist
I believe Sunni is sincere as he is most likely no different than my African American buddies here in Georgia that I have known for most all of my life except he is a Muslim. They would laugh at him for not eating my smoked ribs and pulled pork!
But the issue is not about domestic anything, it is a global problem.
Until American Muslims condemn ALL criminal acts towards citizens be they here or anywhere no one is safe anywhere.
Where I find there is some denial going on
1. yes, the problem is political, where countries and govts are taken over by militants,
THAT is causing the problem not Islam itself. BUT that is where American Muslims ARE INDIRECTLY DEPENDING on support from Christians and Constitutionalists to
provide the checks and balances so Islam CAN be practiced peaceably as intended.
2. there needs to be formal recognition that either Christian or Constitutional
principles or both are NECESSARY to support and protect the peaceful practice of Islam or any religion for that matter.
It is too convenient for Muslims in America to say that Islam is not the problem
when this country's traditions of Christian and Constitutional values are already
well-established for religious freedom and democratic due process.
Those laws are also given by God so this is part of Islam also, to receive ALL sent by God.
I believe recognizing and enforcing that would end the problem of abuse and terrorism.
