What a daughter learned about Islam from her American Muslim father

This is what Islam means to a man who grew up as a Muslim and left it behind to become an all-American patriot.
(The author is a frequent visitor to BNI )
So I had a long talk with my Dad about the recent sharia law block and lawsuits from CAIR and what it would really mean for the United States.
My dad was born and raised in the country now called Albania. He was born to Muslim parents, and therefore it was the only religion he has ever known. There are not many stories about Islam in Albania, not to the extent of Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Afganistan where the majority of the population is Muslim. But he did grow up learning quickly that Islam is not at all what it seems. It teaches hate and violence against virtually all humanity.
It looks appealing to some people due to its culture though it varies with different countries and money. In Albania, for example, the 
woman who is engaged to be married receives many gifts of jewelry and gold as does her family. There is also money given to the father of the soon to be bride. What most people who convert to Islam fail to realize is the true nature and horrors of it all. Wife-beatings are common and are permitted for any reason. Child brides are a normal custom among Muslims and men often leave their wives as they age in favor of the child brides (some forced into marriage as young as 4-5 ).
Muslims justify killing innocent people based solely on their (Non-Muslim) religious beliefs and/or including race. This is what my Dad saw in Albania and he was deeply disturbed by it all. My paternal grandfather and grandmother were not the norm either. They worked on their farm and allowed their children the 
maximum amount of freedom they could. My uncle, when he was in his 20′s, decided after the wars were fought, that he wanted a change and and a new life. So he came to NYC and got a job. My father saved up as much money as he could and followed his brother to NYC, leaving behind his Islam faith.
Upon arriving to NYC, he worked with my uncle as a doorman and lived with him. He met my mother and 3 years later they got married in a church (my mother is Catholic) and together built a life. My grandfather approved of the marriage, but my grandmother took a while to 
warm up to my mother, but eventually grew to love her.
In the 25+ years they were together they had me and my sisters. Over the course of our childhood we learned about both religions but never
indepth about Islam until 9/11. On that day, we asked our father to tell us the truth about islam, and what possible justification did the 19 highjackers have to kill 3000 innocent people. Over the next few weeks following 9/11, we learned about the true meaning of Islam, the oppressed lifestyle, the teachings of Mohammed, the law of sharia. Out of everything, my father fears sharia the most.
When I decided to enlist in the military, my dad supported me as did my Muslim family. They love the freedoms of America, the right to choose rather than being forced into something they don’t want or approve of. My Muslim family is very different from other Muslim families, the woman have choices, they have the freedom to date, to enjoy life and are encouraged to go to college. My family has been ridiculed and kicked out for their outspoken views on many of, if not all the horrors of the quran and how it should be changed to fit modern days and times of the 21st century.
Now when I showed my dad your article (sharia-law-is-here-federal-judge-bows-to-obama-upholds-government-funding-of-islam) about the possibly or sharia law here in the states, he broke down. He said sharia law has no place in democracy, it has no place here. If it is imposed in one state how long before other states will adopt sharia law?
What would it mean for us? Our family? Our friends? The answer is simple and that would be death, my 
daughters are at the age where sharia laws promotes marriage to an older man, my son trained for so called “manhood” and I as a mother have no say. My family would be tortured and killed if sharia law came here because we have angered the imams and insulted the teachings of the quran. My sisters and I would be raped and killed for bringing shame to the community by our looks, our education, and our up bringings. My parents would be killed because of their marriage. All this would be justified in sharia law. Gays would face the same fate, Jews and Christians. It would become a war of survival.
Could the United States handle such a war? My father’s take is that we must prepare for a real threat of sharia law. All the political correctness must stop. Liberals have no idea just how dangerous it is and the serious concerns we, as a nation face. In short, my family is wondering what will happen if sharia law gets recognized here, even on a small scale? It would bring utter fear and destruction. That is the very reason he left Albania, the very reason he has not once set foot in a mosque here. My father has said, “if need be, I would fight for freedom, not just for me, but for my children and grandchildren. To not be forced into something they do not believe in.”
your article as far as i can tell has very good grammar. so why did you say
“…leaving behind his Islam faith.”
someone that claims to know so much about islam would know to type islamic. seems small but believe it or not that’s a good way to tell someone actually knows what their talking about. if they do then the semantics are second nature
“My Muslim family”
especially if you have a muslim family.
“My family has been ridiculed and kicked out for their outspoken views on many of, if not all the horrors of the quran and how it should be changed to fit modern days and times of the 21st century.”
kicked out of where?
“That is the very reason he left Albania, the very reason he has not once set foot in a mosque here.”
kicked out of mosques? your dad never stepped foot in one when he left albania.
“My family would be tortured and killed if sharia law came here because we have angered the imams and insulted the teachings of the quran.”
you, your mother, and your sisters then? okay. give me the name of the mosque(s) you were kicked out of. i’ll call them and ask about protesters that were kicked out. if you don’t respond then i will believe that you are.
if it can be proven that your telling the truth then i will understand that you care very much about the state of this country. i’ll seriously educate myself about the so-called flaws of islam. you could have one less muslim in america.
worthwhile incentive for just one or more names
***if you don’t respond then i will believe that you are lying.

anti-sophist, the author of this article has not posted here in several months so I doubt you will hear from her. But I know her and everything she said here is the truth.
anti-sophist -
We non-moslems, do not require ourselves to prove anything, to moslems.
Bark up another tree.
barenakedislam, if you know her maybe you can give me the name of the mosques then? = ]
anti- I never give out personal information about my readers, unless they are muslims making threats.
pinkcadlac, i did not really say that i was muslim. i am educating myself about the religion at the moment. the reason why i posted a message on this website is because i’m curious if anyone can convince me not to with actual proof.
anti, if the 8,000+ stories and videos here do not convince you, you are hopeless.
anti- Pfffft. Give up the fishing trip. You aren’t going to catch anything here.
Anti-sophist:
Be apprised that BNI posts proven islime atrocities and the posts are easily backed up. Go phishing for lies on other sites, because you won’t find them here.
Loonwatch might be more to your liking.
you were lying then. this person isn’t real. giving me the name of the mosque will not indicate anything personal about the family. i doubt the muslims would want to remember the family’s names. but a protest is something that is easily remembered.
i have not shown any contempt toward anyone on this website. but
“you are hopeless”
” Pfffft. Give up the fishing trip. You aren’t going to catch anything here.”
and forgetting whether this is true or not the unconditional hate is saddening and hopeful. at the very least i’m glad i learned something. you all have each other and are content with that. anyone skeptic at all you will treat with with little respect, and that gives me hope that you will not convince many others that did not have this mindset to begin with.
i also do not believe you because those who wish to share truth and respect the principle of it also in my opinion should be neutral, although blunt, but untainted by negativity. by extension they understand that unconditional love is good and convincing in itself..although not so direct..but therefore, showing that your just..a good person = ]..is nice. and achieves so much.
so despite your insults i’ve become more enlightened. and although truthfully i do not like you all, i thank you all for that sincerely.
anti-s, the author of that story is NOT a Muslim, but Catholic as her mother is. Only her father is a Muslim and he hasn’t set foot in a mosque since he’s been in America. He hates Islam as much as we do.
also barenakedislam i have read a few stories and you’ve posted. the story about the frenh minister saying there is no moderate islam, that contradicts the woman that you said wrote this article that stated her muslim family was different from other muslims.
“…supported me as did my Muslim family. They love the freedoms of America, the right to choose rather than being forced into something they don’t want or approve of. My Muslim family is very different from other Muslim families, the woman have choices, they have the freedom to date, to enjoy life and are encouraged to go to college.”
also the article about
“HOW NICE, A ‘MUSLIM’ WEDDING AT OCCUPY WALL STREET
But the bride isn’t a Muslim, so why does the article call it a ‘Muslim’ wedding? Can the requisite headbag for the infidel wife be far behind? She deserves it, stupid leftie fleabagger.”
if this blog is true and factual then you would be aware that a muslim man can marry a woman that is not muslim, but is christian or jewish. so this is a muslim wedding.
it was a very beautiful story though. i am glad i could have known about it and also from the imam’s point-of-view. she was a very beautiful bride. and it made me happy to see them happy. = ]
anti
You are tiresome. Your games are childish and self centered. i don’t feel like responding to your nonsense anymore.
