Those who are declaring that Islam is not a religion, but a culture have been making some good points about how it differs from 'religion." And frankly... ... multiple definitions of "culture" work to strengthen that assertion as well: 1 Social behavior of a particular people or society 2 Group forming part of one's identity or character, ethnically or nationally 3 Attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behavior 4 Cultivating cells in a controlled environment (Oops! they omitted 'terror" cells) 5 One's past or history (not American!) 6 The inhabitants of a place (religion concerns souls, Islam demands geographical territory) 7 (as a verb) To create or maintain an (artificial) environment suitable for growth • Those seven examples were copied from dictionaries defining "culture." When framed in a political or governing authority network, Islam is a culture, and it is not an American culture. Given a foothold, Islam will destroy every liberty that Jesus died for and that patriots have defended with their own blood and self-sacrifice.
