Would you be in support of banning the Koran in the USA?

[D46]

Banning books is the first step toward burning books. Burning books is the first step toward burning people.

Yep-16th Century evidence to prove that. I'm not for burning their beloved book, but; I am against it's possibly infiltration into the schools whereby it may at some point be taught as an "alternative" to the bible. This country was founded on the principles of Christianity of which the Koran is anything but Christian. Let that get into the schools and where does it end? What comes next...Wicca? This is a free country but, we don't have the freedom to kill and with the Koran comes a destroying of the minds of those not yet taught and grounded in God's word. Too many parents don't take their kids to church or even go themselves and could care less what their kids learn in school. Todays kids are the leaders and teachers of tomorrow and it does make a difference what they're exposed to.

Taking the Koran away would only excite Muslims more, by Christians doing certain things like that it only pushes ppl away from God.As a matter of Fact God created a world of choices to support our free will, there is no true free will if there isn't more than one option.Let ppl read it , don't ban it but let them decide what they believe the truth to be, eventually if we act the way we're supposed to as Christians , as beacons , these ppl will see Christ.

Sorry if the other parts of my statement seemed extraneous, I just felt ssomewhat upset that someone would propose to actually infringe upon someone else's religious rights.

Actually rather than finding it extraneous I thought your statement was very intrinsic and pertinent.

You were simply being truculent in your presentation as the issue demanded an aggressive response. :

 

[itoldyounoalready]

Oh, okay,thanx, I think.

 

[bibleberean]

Oh, okay,thanx, I think.

You are welcome. :D

[itoldyounoalready]

What's that supposed to mean? Are you expressing disatisfaction with my statement, if so there are better ways to display your objections, you could start by explaining what's wrong with my statement.

Well we have 4 that are in favor of censorship here......

This is a christian nation, from day one it was a christian nation. While i myself welcome all walks of life and different faiths, the koran imho is the religion of SATAN himself. Just my opinion and remember, all things work for the glory of God!

Wait... if all things work for the glory of God, then doesn't Satan work for the glory of God as well?

Actually no, our founding father's were not exactly Christians many were what ppl would consider Unitarians or had their own philosophies about religion all together, e.g. Thomas Jefferson ,Ben Franklin, but their ideas for democracy did work out such that freedom of religon and religious rights was available.Also, what makes you believe that islam is the religion of Satan.

If you look at Job than yes he does!

I am against banning the Koran. I don't personally know a single Christian that would be for such a thing...

You now have one. :-D

Banning the Koran.

Now, I'm assuming this would be enforced by the police.

The power of the police coming from their capacity for legal violence and murder.

I'm not sure that this is what Jesus had in mind for his teachings, that they would be supported by violence and tyranny.

If it is perceived that the Koran is offering some harm and offense, wouldn't this fall under turning the other cheek? It doesn't express a great deal of faith in God and reliance on his grace to take matters into our hands so violently. In fact, it rather smacks of arrogance on our part and a desire to exalt ourselves rather than God. Perhaps it would be more pleasing to Him if we strived harder to be meek and reliant on Him.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you

I will be glad when Jesus returns and bans all evil. :D

PS I did not vote because the answers were loaded as are most of Soma-Sight's polls.

Jesus said we would know false prophets "by their fruits." The fruits of Muhammad are rotten.

What we need to do is expose those fruits.

For a long time, the Hadith were not available to all except in Arabic. They tell of the death and murder and deceit caused by Muhammad and his followers. Muhammad's "fruit" show who he really was.
