Is it Time for a 28th Amendment?


Hans Gruen has posted a proposed version of a fictional 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The theme of Gruen’s Amendment is to declare Islam (I prefer Mohammedanism) NOT a religion and instead a political ideology.

Frankly I agree with Gruen’s assessment (particularly radical Islamism); however I fear the American public is not convinced Mohammedanism is more a political ideology than a religion.

One of Gruen’s commenters noted that a call for an Amendment to outlaw Mohammedanism has been thought upon already. There is even a
petition going around the Internet to outlaw Mohammedanism. I am going to seek out and sign this petition; however I am fairly certain (at this point) that the lack of Jihad education in America will find this Amendment repugnant.

A grassroots movement in America needs to be started (something like Gabriel's -
Act! For America - has began) to spread the word about the ideology of Mohammedanism as opposed to the religious practice of Mohammedanism.

I think a better possibility is to enact an Amendment to the Constitution declaring America a nation with a Judeo-Christian heritage without establishing any particular Jewish sect (Orthodox, Conservative or Reformed) or Christian Denominations (Variations of Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox etc.) as a State religion.

This would simultaneously deal with Secular Humanism war on Christianity and radical Islam.
