Storm Watch Disinformation: Islam Supersedes Nationality
From The Gathering Storm
Ummah News Link reports that NEWS Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch said today that Muslims would always identify themselves by religion before nationality, and warned that care needed to be taken to avoid a divided society.
“You have to be careful about Muslims who have a very strong, in many ways a fine, but very strong religion which supersedes any sense of nationalism wherever they go.”
Of course, Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Rahim Ghauri disagrees.
"He's way out of line. Both (religion and nationality) go hand in hand.
Wouldn’t that be nice if it were so? Unfortunately Mr. Murdoch is correct and if Mr. Ghauri were a real Muslim he would know that Muslims owe their allegiance to their own nation - the nation of Islam. It is a complete socio-political ideology with its own laws – the Sharia - and governing imperatives – the Hadith.
Why would Islamic religion and nationality that go hand in hand be any different than a combined Judeo-Christian religion and nationality? The difference is that one can’t coexist with the other any more than communism could coexist with capitalism. We must recognize this fact and act accordingly.
Judeo-Christian law and secular government are almost in direct opposition to Islamic law and governmental imperatives. Personal freedoms and secular values as practiced in the free world democracies are a threat to Islamic values and their socio-political ideology.
Can the two be reconciled or must one win over the other? I’m afraid the latter will prevail because the chasm is much too wide.
