American Family Association to Muslim-Americans: convert or leave

**buttmunch** · April 13th, 2010, 01:47 PM

It seems like only a week ago that the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer (who is the AFA's Director of Issues Analysis, perhaps because he has so many personal issues that need to be analyzed by professional psychopharmacologists), was saying that the Christian thing to do would be to round up all Muslim American citizens and deport them to Muslim countries, because surely that would solve a lot of problems? You know, by sending happy American citizens to other countries?

The most compassionate thing we can do for Muslims who have already immigrated here is to help repatriate them back to Muslim countries, where they can live in a culture which shares their values, a place where they can once again be at home, surrounded by people who cherish their deeply held ideals. Why force them to chafe against the freedom, liberty and civil rights we cherish in the West?
Well, naturally, such remarks call for a clarification, and, in keeping with the traditions of "clarifying," Fischer basically swaps out one ridiculously abhorrent statement for another statement of equal ridiculous abhorrence, without really retracting the first.

Via Media Matters:

Muslims who have become naturalized citizens, of course, would need to commit an act of treason to forfeit their citizenship and become eligible for repatriation. Based on the Constitution's definition of treason in Article III Section 3 ["adhering to (the) Enemies (of the United States), (or) giving them Aid and Comfort"] treasonous acts are likely committed on virtually a weekly basis here in the U.S. in many mosques and Islamic organizations.
[...]

Muslims continue to have as their objective the Islamization of the entire world, including the U.S., and are taught by their god to use force where necessary to accomplish the goal. The current objective of Muslim activists is to create a brand new Islamic state - meaning a state like New Jersey or Montana - out of existing jurisdictions and establish a virtual Islamic homeland in our midst.

[...]

Many Muslims are on our shores on student visas and such and have not yet become citizens. We must politely decline their request for naturalization (becoming an American citizen is a privilege, not a right) and use the money we would otherwise spend on their welfare, their education, their medical care and their incarceration to graciously assist them in returning to their countries of origin.

Those who are willing to convert to Christianity and renounce Islam, Allah, Mohammed and the Koran may be welcomed, for they can become not just good Christians but true Americans.

Meanwhile, I am reliably informed by the Constitution of the United States that one of the freedoms we cherish in America is the right to worship whatever faith we bloody well please, so maybe it's Fischer who needs to sail away on a little sloop in search of a land more to his liking?American Family Association To Muslim-Americans: Convert To Christianity Or Leave

This is the text of the 1st amendment...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Basically it says that the government can not create its own religion and government can not prohibit the fee exercise of religion. I guess the American Family Assiciation is above the constitution (or at least think they are).

So what about Sikhs? Or the varying types of Pagans? Buddhists?

How about we compromise and just get rid of anyone who actually believe this shit is a good idea?

Lovely how the American Family Association is being.. wait for it.. unAmerican.

I don't believe in any religion. I wonder where they'd send me...

Somewhere I won't have to be around the repressive society my family has lived in for the past 400 years or so I guess.

Fuck them. What exactly is "Muslim values"? My husband shares the exact same values as I do. I can assure you that he's not on street corners passing out literature on Islam or trying to convert people *booga booga*. That only happens with the crazy Christians. This is so offensive I don't even have the words. I need to share with my husband that he should be naturally violent when people don't share his views, that he wants the creation of an Islamic state to take over the world, and that he's against freedom and liberty. Obviously he didn't get the Muslim memo. Ironically these are the same people marching against civil rights for homosexuals while my husband and I were marching for - but I guess HE's the one against civil rights. Who knew!

I'm surprised christians have time for this. They're usually so busy eating their own.

Where in the hell would you get a crazy notion like that? We livin' in Sarah Palin's Uhmurrikkkah now. Besides, doncha know that "under God" in the pledge since 1954 and "endowed by their Creator" in the declaration of independence trump any other language, wherever found? And it really should go without saying that "God" and "Creator" can ONLY refer to this dude's God. I mean come on now, it's all so common sensory-like-ish.

And yet again, I must close a post with I hate stupid, how dare they bastardize the terms American and Family for their overt bigotry.
