Leave it to an Islam-pandering liberal Jewish governor to push Islamic ideology onto the citizens of North Carolina

In recent days, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein issued a proclamation recognizing the observance of Ramadan across the state. But this particular proclamation goes beyond recognition and enters the realm of endorsement of this Islamic supremacist ideology. 

Rev Mark Creech In its language, the proclamation states that Islamic traditions and teachings serve as a source of “guidance” and “inspiration.” That is not merely descriptive; it is theological. It affirms, in positive moral terms, Islamic teachings as worthy of commendation – a religious system whose central claims stand in direct contradiction to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the principles of liberty that shaped our nation’s founding.

The issue here is that the governor’s proclamation goes beyond acknowledgment, referring to Islamic teachings as a source of guidance and inspiration. By referring to Islamic teachings as a source of guidance and inspiration, Stein ignores the fact that the teachings and historical expressions of Islam have stood in contention with the principles of religious liberty and freedom of conscience that are foundational to our constitutional system.

In a Facebook post, former U.S. Senate candidate Don Brown said it was wrong for the governor “to glorify an evil philosophy that demands subjugation or death, that treats women like animals, and that, worldwide, legalizes, normalizes, and perpetuates widespread child molestation.”

In 2013, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation designed to ensure that no foreign law, such as Sharia Law, could be applied in a way that would violate the fundamental rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. A government official who truly honors freedom must be careful not to commend an ideology that contradicts  it.
