Every religion is based upon faith. The fact that you believe in a particular set of religious principles shows you adhere to that faith. Freedom of Religion is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and sets America apart from most other countries in the world. Here you can believe in any God, many gods, or no god, at all. And as much as others may care about your future welfare, you are free to ignore them, and let the chips fall where they may.
As part of the law of the land, we do have the freedom to proselytize. You can legally approach anyone on the street corner, in a café, or on the bus, express why you believe what you believe, and invite total strangers to consider your claims. They are free to ignore you. The strongest of those claims will survive. That may be a reason why the Judeo-Christian teachings have withstood countless challenges and thrived.
The one religious freedom we do not possess is the right to demand that others convert to our faith at the tip of the sword or the ring of a gun barrel, no matter how correct we think we may be. In the USA, your religious rights end where mine begin. If that were not so, there would be no freedom of religion.
With that in mind…here comes an eye-opening altar call from the “religion of peace”.
Actually, tolerance seemed in short supply in New York’s Time’s Square when a screaming follower of Muhammad demanded that Islam enter every home. We can never forget what occurred when unbelievers’ homes were literally invaded, last month, in the Jewish homeland. But this viral, vocal video, snipped from an Islamic subscription-supported streaming service, pulled no punches.
Listen to the comments, as posted at the World Net Daily site, and decide for yourself the intent of the speaker.
"We're done hiding. We're done. We're done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be upon of Islam. And we will not stop until it enters every home. So, I want you to repeat after me. I want to hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it, the Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the ummah depends on this my brothers and sisters."
Of greater concern was the groundswell of support voiced by the boisterous crowd surrounding him.
Our belief? Men and women of good will must continue to walk the straight and narrow…guarding the religious rights of all, while we protect our families from uninvited and potentially violent “altar calls.”
