Islamic state verses constitutional republic

 

The USA has always been a Christian dominated country and these people believe their country is doing the will of God.  Their whole history is about their belief in God's will.  Their greatest enemy since WWII, was the USSR which opposed religion.  They reacted to the godless, communist nation, by putting "in god we trust" on their money, and adding "one nation under God" to their national pledge of allegence, making it clear to the world they put god above all else.  When they do not believe a leader is doing the will of God, they vote this person out of office, that is why they gave themselves the right to vote in the first place, to assure only men of God have the power of governing.   Now how is the government of this Christian dominated, constitutional republic, believing its actions are destined by God, and that it is following the will of God, different from an Islamic state? 

 

By the way, Lincoln thought it was the will of God that the issue of slavery be settled by war.  What if we agreed the fighing among Muslims is the will of God and stayed out of it?   In human history their have been those who think God wills humans to wars, and those who think humans are capable of resolving their differences through reason.   Secular government is the choice of religious people who believe we can resolve our differences with reason.   The secular government does not interfere with their religious freedom. 

 

according to most current muslims here in the west, sharia law is not possible to be establised as a (state) law in most countries, because there is no central authority exists in islam currently, infact the only time muslim had a central authority was when prophet existed.

 

Muslims believe the only time sharia law will properly be implemented when the (mahdi) comes to establish a Khilafat, he will unite muslims and the believing Christian/Jews.

 

 

 

 

How is the Muslim religous opposition to homo sexuals, different from the Christian opposition to homosexuals?  A gentleman who served in the second world war, thought he would get get our approval when he told us, how men suspected of being homo sexual were thrown over board late and night and never seen again.   Some have thought it socially acceptable to beat homo sexuals to death.   We have places where homosexuals would be killed if their neighbors knew they were homosexual.   We are slowing moving towards accepting homosexuals and protecting their human rights, but the Christian bible is agreement with Islam about homosexuality and this makes change very difficult.  Christians often say our acceptence of homosexuality is the result of Satan being in control, and that this will destroy our country.
