My Views on Islam are Changing

I Am The American Refugee

 

My real name is Roger D'Aquin.  I live at 4400 Eastern St. New Orleans, LA 70122.  My phone number is (985) 250-0255.  My email is AmericanRefugee@TheAmericanRefugees.com.  I am a Roman Catholic, American, conservative, libertarian, patriot.   I have often stated that I will not comply with ObamaCare.  I will neither acquire health insurance that satisfies the law, nor will I pay the fine.  I have often stated that I will not disarm.  I want to add to that, at this time, that I will not bow down to Islam.  I have recently been inspired to show some balls by Ann Barnhardt. 

If that little combination Jack Russell Terrier, Pit Bull, spitfire can have the kind of guts she does, we all can.  The more of us who stand publicly for what we believe, the better off we will all be.  I am prepared to risk incarceration and death, if necessary, to fight for Jesus Christ, His Holy Christian Church, the US Constitution, life, and liberty.

I don't want to write this article.  One reason, is that I want to stick to my message going Galt, civil disobedience within the rule of law, and constitutionalism.  I don't want to go too far into left field and be bogged down in the weeds.   I also don't want to write this article because I really don't want to be viewed as a hate monger and a bigot and I know that this article will lead to those charges.  I am also not looking to offend and hurt anyone.  I know that I have followers, who will be upset by this.   I may even lose followers over this.  However, my conscious demands that I write this article.  This issue has become too important and I have been inspired by others, who have had the courage to speak.

I have been engaged recently, in looking into Islam more thoroughly than I have in the past.  Allow me to explain what my attitude has always been, what made me feel it was necessary to start looking into it more, and how my attitude is evolving.

In the past while I did not believe that Islam was the one true faith, I believed that the vast majority of its adherents were honestly seeking a relationship with God.  I believed that Allah was simply another title, used as a name, for Jehovah, the God of Abraham and the Father of Jesus.  While I believed that there were extremist elements in Islam, who were at war with the United States, I believed Islam was mostly concerned with peace, doing the will of God, and getting into heaven.  I believed that most references to Jihad in the Koran, referred to the Holy war against the flesh, the self, and sin. I believed Islam was theologically wrong and did not understand Christ, but I believed Muslims and Christians could coexist.

Now, all this being said, I still frequently railed against extremist Muslim Jihadists; and felt that radical Islam was at war with the free world.  I frequently spoke out about how radical Jihadist Islam had been at war with the US since the 70’s.  But I felt that some Christians went too far in their Criticism of Islam as a whole and became offensive and counter productive.  I certainly thought that acts like burning the Koran, were offensive and that the idea of deporting was Muslims was anti-liberty and anti America.

What made me want to start investigating Islam more thoroughly?  First, I simply didn’t see enough Muslims condemning acts of terrorism.  Secondly, it seemed that the amount of hatred I saw coming out of Islam was increasing, and not decreasing.  Third, a lot of people whom I respect disagreed with me.  People who seemed to me to be non bigots and true believers in liberty, were advocating the deportation of all Muslims.   Irish Joe Harrison , is a prime example.  I respect Joe and read his blog regularly.  Was I wrong about Joe? Was Joe wrong about Islam?  Was I wrong about Islam?  I had many other followers and friends on Twitter, whom I respected, who seemed to hold these extreme negative views about Islam.  I decided I had to investigate Islam more.

One of the first things I did was to go to Islamic and pro Islamic sites and began reading about Islam from their perspective. Then I would check that information against information from those who were opposed to Islam.  I also began trying to look at as much objective history as I could.

One of the anti-Islam people I came across was Ann Barnhardt.  Ann’s passion, love of Christ, intelligence, and belief in liberty seemed very strong.  Yet here she was, buring a Koran.  But Ann didn’t just burn it.  She read specific scriptures, talked about them, then ripped out and burned that page.  She was burning the Koran one page at a time and explaining exactly why she was doing it, what she hoped to accomplish, and why she believes that Islam is evil.  Her arguments were intelligent and compelling.  Then she did something that showed she had the courage of her convictions.  She gave her home address and said come and get me.  I was in awe.  This, despite the fact, that I still wasn’t sure that I agreed with what she was doing.  But I believed in her right to do it and I believed that she believed she was right in doing it.

Now my study had to expand beyond the study of Islam, to include the study of Ann Barnhardt herself.  Everything I have learned about her has caused me to respect her more and I have also watched more of her videos on Islam.  I have not been able to find adequate answers to disprove the claims that Ann makes against Islam.  I have also found more disturbing information on my own.

I am beginning to find myself moving rapidly towards a position of complete opposition to Islam.  I will clearly spell out the position that I now suspect to be true.  I am also asking for something from Muslims who think I am mistaken. Tell me why.  Show me why.  Show me, if I am wrong.

The Following is becoming my position: Islam is not a religion at all but a perverted and satanic behavioral and political system.  The peace that Islam speaks of is the peace that will follow the destruction or conversion of everyone else on the earth.  Islam does not tolerate other religions.  Islam hates women.  Islam destroys the lives of its children.  Islam actually hates men as well and seeks to pervert men beyond belief.  Islam seeks to genetically destroy and dumb down the human race.  Islam seeks to overthrow every government on the face of the earth and impose world wide Sharia Law.  Islam is attempting to invade and overthrow the United States.  Islam is the enemy of Americans and all free people.  Islam will cooperate with those it hates, in order to destroy those it hates more, then turn on the first group.  Islam is cooperating with the left in this country, in order to destroy constitutional government, our Judeo Christian values, and our culture.  Later, Islam will turn on the liberals.

If you are knowledgeable on this subject and disagree with me, whether you are a Muslim or not, please tell me why.  Explain to me why I am wrong.  Give me your arguments and send me your evidence.  If I am wrong, it is my sincere desire not to remain so.  Write to me and convince me.  My mind remains open to new information.  I am not a hate monger or a bigot and would prefer not to believe that over a billion people are following a satanic and evil political and behavioral system.  I honestly hope that I am making a mistake.  If I am, show me that I am.  I am mainly concerned with truth.  Since I have dedicated my life to fighting for liberty and returning the United States to constitutional government, I must know who my enemies are and are not.
