"Born Eunuch"
Anonymous American Black Male
First I want to say that the purpose of this thread is not to attack Islam. It is not a personal attack on anyone who believes whatever he/she believes. It is rather just factual information about why in a country like America where people have freedom of speech and freedom of expression (to certain extents,) maybe a religion that says that people should be killed for certain things should be banned in a country that lawfully gives people freedom of speech.
Now, the two verses that I would point out are Qur'an 5:33 & Qur'an 49:12.
The copy of the Yusuf Ali Qur'an translation (and one can research the merits of the Yusuf Ali translation on his/her own) that I am using could be a fake for all I know. Others can check a copy of the translation for themselves, but the copy that I am using says in chapter 5:33 that people who do the following should be killed (amongst others things:)
"wage war against Allah
And His Messenger, and strive
With might and main
For mischief through the land"
My copy uses the word "execute" in Qur'an 5:33. But one can see from this citation that maybe some Muslims do believe that some people who say certain things should be killed. In a country like America where people are lawfully granted freedom of speech to say this or that about a religion if they please, maybe a religion saying people should be killed for "waging war against Allah and His Messenger..." shouldn't be allowed.
The second verse that I would point out relates to an incident that I had with someone claiming to be a Muslim in which it appeared that this person was spying on me. I just consulted the same Qur'an translation that I discussed above, on the subject of spying and I found this verse (chapter 49:12:)
"O ye who believe!
Avoid suspicion as much
(As possible): for suspicion
In some cases is a sin:
And spy not on each other,
Nor speak ill of each other
Behind their backs. Would any
Of you like to eat
The flesh of his dead
Brother? Nay, ye would
Abhor it...But fear Allah.
For Allah is Oft-Returning,
Most Merciful."
One can see in this verse that Muslims are told in said translation "spy not on each other" as opposed to "spy not on anyone," so after my experience I don't know if Muslims believe that spying on non-Muslims is OK or what.
And to close, I want to say that I did hear a video of "Muslim" preacher Louis Farrakhan saying the following:
"...we don't give a damn about no White man law when you attack what we love."
I don't see why such people couldn't go to their own country if they don't care about the laws of the land in which they live but at any rate, the video was reportedly from "Savior's Day 1993" part 1 or part 2, "Savior's Day" being an annual Nation of Islam convention; Mr. Farrakhan was speaking about the killing of Malcolm X when he made said statement, so one can see from Mr. Farrakhan's words that some Muslims don't have any regard for American law if people like Malcolm X say certain things about their faith.
I THINK THAT THESE ARE POSSIBLE REASONS FOR ISLAM TO BE BANNED IN A COUNTRY LIKE AMERICA. Others can think about this.
Peace
