Islamism

You believe in establishing a society governed by Islamic principles and values, promoting unity and justice for all.

Islamism is a political ideology that seeks to implement Islamic principles and laws in the societal and political spheres. It emerged in the 20th century as a response to Western modernity and colonialism, and it is characterized by the belief that Islam, as both a religion and a social system, should guide all aspects of life, including governance, economics, and social issues. Islamists argue that the Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) should be the primary sources of legislation.

The roots of Islamism can be traced back to thinkers like Jamal al-Din al-…

Imagine your favorite book or movie being censored for religious reasons; how would that make you feel about freedom of expression?

 @9JHY9D4 answered…2yrs2Y

Religions can ban books and movies within the confines of their own community but they shouldn't make it everyone's problem.

 @9JJV2GZ from Wisconsin  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so there for if it goes against your religion simply just don't do it its not that hard to not do something when others may enjoy it.

 @9JHV8MX from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

it would make me feel unwelcome in a community, a country, that was supposed to be a place of refugee for those in struggling situations.

 @9JHTQS5Democrat from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel like freedom of expression should be censored if a certain religion is not being expressed respectfully.

 @9JHTP74Democrat from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it defies the first amendment of the constitution and media regarding all views should be available for expression.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would you support the use of Islamic architectural principles in public buildings, and how do you think it would change your city's landscape?

 @9KBG3NK from Louisiana  answered…2yrs2Y

If the United States wants to become more "woke"' they should use Islamic architectural principles on public buildings because not all Islam people in the US are terrorists.

 @9KBGQMCPeace and Freedom from South Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

i would not mind it at all they live here to and this is what they do their beliefs and they should not have to hide it and the landscape will be the same just with new things added.

 @9KBG2CJ from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I wouldn't support it but I wouldn't mind if it was built, because of my religion. As long as the building itself isn't causing harm or destroying other religious sanctuaries, I don't care.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What is your stance on the use of political power to enforce religious morality and behavior in society?

 @9H92QKM from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

I think religion is a personal choice that shouldn´t be a factor.

 @9H8ZT75 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

Politics and religion should be seperate, but they can still promote similar standards.

 @9H927YNPeace and Freedomanswered…3yrs3Y

This should not be the case due to the 1st Amendment.

 @9H92HRX from Idaho  answered…3yrs3Y

It is not right to force or pressure anyone's religious beliefs

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you express your individuality in a community where cultural uniformity is enforced on religious grounds?

 @9KWL2ZG from Rhode Island  answered…2yrs2Y

I think people's religion is personal and that there shouldn't be a universal religion in place.

 @9KWL8T6 from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

Expressing individuality in a community where cultural uniformity is enforced on religious ground can be challenging. finding ways to showcase your unique interests talents and beliefs within the boundaries of your community can help.

 @9KWL3TV from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe everyone has their beliefs and everyone can practice them freely, but when someone tends to force their beliefs on others there is a problem.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What do you think would be the pros and cons of living in a society where religious holidays structure your year?

 @9KTYRMNRepublican from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

i dont think there any pros im an american so there will always be that one group that would take my head off bc im and american

 @9KTXZRL from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it would kinda suck because you’re kinda tied down to the religion.

 @9KTYNZM from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

We cannot be free to follow the religion we want but people would be more united since there are no religious reasons that instigate them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If faced with religious law conflicting with your personal ethics, how would you resolve this tension?

 @9KS88JQRepublican from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

I’m christian and wouldn’t fully agree with islamist ideology

 @9KS82WFPeace and Freedom from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

I would no longer be religious or only follow what I choose to follow

 @9KS7Y33 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Talk it out and come to a compromise that doesn't violate the rights of others

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Reflect on how your personal ambitions might be supported or hindered in a society where religious values are central to education and career planning.

 @9KBFKQ2 from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

If I were forced to follow religious beliefs that I do not believe in, I would personally be hindered because I am an atheist.

 @9KG6GSLSocialist from Virginia  agreed…2yrs2Y

Being forced to adhere to one certain religion I do not ascribe to, regardless or not if I am religious or not, would be a severe hindrance.

 @9KBG27M from South Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

If I have my own beliefs, but there are people out there who have their own religious beliefs, I'll consider and be mindful of what others might feel about education and career planning.

 @9KBFLNN from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

Religion is a foundation for morality, and your ambitions would be neither supported or hindered

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How do you feel about Islamist movements that employ violence as a means to achieve their goals?

 @9H92X6X from Idaho  answered…3yrs3Y

I think that violence should never be an advicator for anyone's movements because anything that starts with violence will most likely end in violence and that is never how I would want a movement that I'm running to go.

 @9H942Z8 from Texas  commented…3yrs3Y

Some wars are won with violence, It shouldn't be an answer, nor should it be a question. It should always remain a last resort.

 @9H92X7J from Tennessee  answered…3yrs3Y

it’s not ok. violence shouldn’t be how people get what they want

 @9H92W2X from Tennessee  answered…3yrs3Y

They do not deserve to be a respected religion and if their goal is harm on American soil then they should by all means be eradicated.

 @9H92TMN from Delaware  answered…3yrs3Y

I disagree were all men and women, we have no enemies that are at heights where violence should be used

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might the integration of religious education in schools shape your view of the world around you?

 @9HZ3PNK from Tennessee  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that there should be an optional religion course that teaches some of the primary religions used around the world.

 @9HZ3SRJ from Tennessee  answered…2yrs2Y

Keep religion out of schools others political views and religious views should not be pushed on anyone.

 @9J5JYC4 from Georgia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

religion has so many good morals and values that is being taught pretty much all moral values that we accept as good are taught in majority of religions so keeping religion in school is basically giving people a purpose to be good.

 @9HZ7XB9 from Florida  agreed…2yrs2Y

Religion should not be integrated into public schools at all. Public schools should be an accepting place for all students regardless of religion and by introducing specific groups you isolate those who do not align with certain beliefs. A private school can be religious, and therefore it is up to the student's family to decide to attend, but not a public school, that should not be affiliated with any divisive matter.

 @9HZ3M3SDemocrat from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it contradicts the idea of separation of church and state, no matter the religion.

 @9HZ424Sanswered…2yrs2Y

Religious education shapes my view on the world around me because everyone has their own religion, and everyone should respect that.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How might the experience of growing up in an Islamist society be different from your own upbringing?

 @9HHRZVT from Arizona  answered…3yrs3Y

It could be more strict due to the religion or rules set by that society.

 @9HHRMF6answered…3yrs3Y

If we experience the growing of Islamism they would have to make changes in political structure for Islamic society.

 @9HHRVXY from California  answered…3yrs3Y

More ignorance and less critical thinking and historical understanding today.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What are your thoughts on the idea that religious principles should guide all aspects of public life, including education, law, and economy?

 @9H89XJR from California  answered…3yrs3Y

It is unfair those who do not wish to believe in said relgion.

 @9H89VJC from Massachusetts  answered…3yrs3Y

Religious principles should have no bearing on any aspect of public life in this country

 @9H89T7H from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I think that this is somewhat true because it is compatible with Islamic behavior of other aspects of human behavior

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What are your thoughts on the potential benefits or drawbacks of a uniform religious identity within society?

 @9HYJ3PCRepublican from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

It creates a cult-like environment and is dangerous for the welfare of a lot of people.

 @9HYJ2N5Socialistfrom Northern Mariana Islands  answered…2yrs2Y

I hate uniform religions in a society. Unless that god is me.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How could the healthcare you receive be affected by the implementation of policies based upon religious doctrine?

 @9HZNQ3P from California  answered…2yrs2Y

They can affect decisions regarding diet, animal-based medications, modesty, and the preferred gender of their healthcare providers.

 @9HZNPFW from California  answered…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Do you think a society governed by Islamic principles would be more or less just than your current society, and why?

 @9HJ39TD from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

It would be less just than our current society because any society run on any religion is not a good thing.

 @9HGPVQW from Washington  commented…3yrs3Y

Look at the Quaran, 2:223 "Women should be cultivated" Is that just?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How can a society balance tradition and religion with the need to adapt to an increasingly globalized world?

 @9HHDVM5Independent from Arizona  answered…3yrs3Y

Traditional practices should be encouraged, but only if those practices do not negatively impact those nearby

 @9HHDRVN from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

A society can balance tradition and religion by keeping core values but learning that the world has grown since these values were first brought up, and adapting with the modern things being thrown and tossed around the world.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

In what ways do you think your daily life would change if you lived under an Islamist government?

 @9HJ8494 from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

I'd be sad because I lived under a government that commits genocide.

 @9HJ7TV3Democrat from Virginia  answered…3yrs3Y

As a machine learning model, I don't have a personal life, but I can speculate on potential changes individuals might experience under an Islamist government. In such a context, daily life could be influenced by specific interpretations of Islamic law, impacting aspects like dress codes, social interactions, and cultural activities. Government policies might align with religious principles, potentially affecting education, legal systems, and governance structures. The extent of these changes would depend on the specific interpretation of Islam and the policies implemented by the government in question.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can the principles of Islamism promote true justice and equality, or do they inherently discriminate against certain groups?

 @9H89BHJ from California  answered…3yrs3Y

They do, and these beliefs should't be welcomed as they are not compatible with modern sensibilities.

 @9H89B79 from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

i feel like they inherently discriminate against certain groups

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Considering the diversity in religious beliefs and interpretations, how would you address the differences within an Islamist society?

 @9H95588 from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

try to achieve the goals and ideals that Islam has delineated for hurmanity

 @9H94KGSRepublican from New Jersey  answered…3yrs3Y

I have no opinion as I am Catholic and cannot understand the problems or solutions that could be brought up in the Islam society

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If your government prioritized spiritual education over secular knowledge, how would diplomacy with neighboring countries differ?

 @9LH7FQM from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

It would not differ much since the methods used will most likely be the same.

 @9LH75FG from North Dakota  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't believe that any religious laws should be implemented into our country but allow them to practice their religion

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If scientific research was guided by religious doctrine, what do you imagine could be its greatest breakthrough or challenge?

 @9L4L4XZ from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

if region was used in science the world would end.

 @9L4KRVLWorkers from Mississippi  answered…2yrs2Y

It would create a challange because just telling this group of people that they are wrong after all this time they will be angry

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your friendships change in a community where your social life is deeply influenced by shared religious values?

In what ways do you think a diet influenced by halal standards would affect your food choices and health?

What challenges do you think a young person might face when aligning modern values with those of a religiously governed society?

 @9HYJK7ZDemocrat from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it's hard for a person to then have their own individual and unique ideas as they are trying to conform to the religious-based government. It could be good if implemented well, but many cases could be not as good.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In which ways could a government founded on religious principles impact your future ambitions and career choices?

 @9HYHQWDfrom Maine  answered…2yrs2Y

If terrorism goes even more out of hand, it could have an effect on people all over the world.

Would you attend a protest if a law was passed based strictly on religious morals that you disagree with?

 @9L68TZSIndependent from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

I would not join the protest, but would disagree with said law.

 @9L68SBG from Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

No because we have the rights to not go to thing if we don’t want to

When considering fairness, how would you reconcile religious teachings with the diverse needs of a modern society?

 @9LBRZ4J from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment is a rule for Congress, not the states, so if Arizona my home state, which is majority Catholic, wants to establish a sort of "Catholic Republic", where you can only run for office if you are Catholic, then it is not only legal but their right, same with Utah if they want to establish a Mormon Republic, or the Southern States establishing their forms of Protestantism in government. This should also apply to cities, such as in Dearborn Michigan which is majority Muslim has passed pro-Islamist laws in that city, I believe the only way…  Read more

How would your sense of justice be affected if the laws you lived under derived from a religious text with which you're unfamiliar?

 @9KVLD32 from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I would feel unjust because the religious text doesn't apply to me

 @9KVL83K from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I would feel as if the nation no longer could be defined as the "land of the free." Everyone should have the right to live by rules and morals derived from their own religion.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
