i've visited Malaysia before and have had the unpleasant experience of muslims waking me up in the morning with their annoying loud ass prayers. Of course they are welcome to do that in their own countries but they need to get out of the West

America shouldnt have come up with that idea in the first place. Japan used to be State Shinto until America made them have separation of Shinto and State

Strictly speaking you don't even need to be an outright theocracy, Genoa and Venice prove that Christian republics can work for literally more than a thousand years. Not coincidentally, both Christian republics also played a huge role in anti-(Muslim)Ottoman operations throughout the Mediterranean for centuries, and a Genoese volunteer named Giovanni Giustiniani was the #2 guy among the Christian defenders during the Fall of Constantinople.

Only intra-Christian issue I can think of is that, American Christianity being historically multiconfessional rather than strictly Catholic-dominated (as was the case in Genoa & Venice both) or dominated by a specific Protestant sect, you might have more than a little trouble deducing which church should be the state one. In that regard a republic which enshrines a sort of non-denominational Christianity 'in general' as the state religion, akin to what John B. Anderson once proposed before cucking out massively, might be a better idea than the traditional 'one state, one very specific church' formula.

But in that vein, with all the woke trashfire heresies running around, it'd also be prudent to work toward an ecumenical solution in the vein of a modern Council of Nicaea (acknowledging differences but also common ground between those strains of Christianity that can still be remotely considered legitimate, while proscribing obvious heretics like Episcopalians & forming a common front against them) than refighting ye olde sectarian conflicts. If Austrians and Serbs could set aside their differences to push back against the Turks, there's no reason modern Catholics, Evangelicals, more conservative Lutherans and Presbyterians (like the ones shot up by a pooner two weeks ago) couldn't do the same against the deconstructionists & their pets, Muslims and corrupted '''''churches''''' both, when their backs are against the wall. And that point's already been here for a while.

Above all, I think this episode serves to reinforce the truth that a vacuum exists to be filled: if you remove traditional Christianity, something much worse will inevitably fill the gap. And by extension that the progressive deconstructionists are liars whose babbling about 'equity' and 'empathy' and 'healing' serves only to get people to let their guard down so they themselves can tear off the sheepskin to reveal the ravening wolves underneath, as if we needed more evidence of that.

For real anti-Ottoman policies, look no further than Transylvania.

If your goal is to keep people united, infinitely splintering churches isn't going to get you there. For a theocracy to work it needs dogma. Dogma doesn't change, so you can't have numerous denominations doing whatever they please. You'd just get some marxist church, an LGBT church, an abortionist church, a divorce-practicing church, a polyamorous church, and then it's the same all over again.

Hence the remarks about an American Council of Nicaea immediately below that, to hammer out what does constitute true American Christian beliefs and what deserves to be consigned to the fire. Western and Eastern Christians had pretty significant differences even back then, you know - but even they found enough common ground to build a common front which stood together for a good 700 years (325-1054) against heretics like the Arians and pagan outsiders from the Germanic tribes to Sassanid Persia alike.

You're not going to solve religious differences with a council that adds political concerns on top.

Of course they are welcome to do that in their own countries

Each and every one of them is a former Christian Catholic or pagan country, they are all stolen, pillaged and desolated lands.

They are welcome to do it nowhere, their evil pedophilic possessed 'prophet' was at best an insane murderer. He and his teachings are evil, and must be pushed back to the place from whence they came

'welcome to it in their own countries'. They have no lands that were not stolen. Enough with namby pamby 'moderate takes' which amount to tolerating devil worship. Dues Vult, push them back and reclaim Christendom.

i mean you could say the same thing about how every Christian country was a former pagan country.

But If you're interested in removing Islam the best way to go about it is through national socialism actually. There are some middle eastern national socialist parties that believed their countries should go back to to their native pagan roots,

Honestly though im less worried about muslims than i am about liberals and banker jews at the moment

If you have been to Muslim places where this earsplitting call to prayer goes off 5 times a day - it will make you wish for Blaring Car alarms, sirens, and boomboxes.

Is Minneapolis really going to put up with this?

Yes, absolutely. Minneapolis is insanely leftist, especially for a city that is still predominantly white. The non-Muslims who still comprise the bulk of the population there will smile as the electronically amplified call to prayer wakes them in the morning and interrupts their sleep at night. The people of Minneapolis are broken.

Source: I know a few people who have fled that shithole in the last five years.

I lived in Minneapolis for a while. “Broken” is the right word. It’s interesting that this city, out of all the big US cities, should be such a hotbed for SJW insanity but if I had to guess why, I’d say it’s a combination of:

  1. “Minnesota Nice,” the Nordic/Lutheran/Midwestern attitude of live and let live, which in practice is often, grin and bear it, don’t complain, let them walk all over you because it’s better than causing a fuss. As a non-native I often called this “Minnesota Weakness” :D

  2. The old mistake of thinking “I’m liberal and they’re liberal so we should support each other!” This causes the centrist/center-left majority to think they ought to support BLM, 5:30 am calls to prayer, etc. because they’re support fellow “blue team” people, when of course the support only goes one way, the extremists don’t support the centrists in return.

  3. Fear. The dark folk got REALLY MAD three years ago and set whole city blocks on fire. No one wants to touch off that spark again. More generally, one wants to be labeled racist, or in other contexts sexist, anti-Muslim, whatever, so nobody is willing to give even a half-hearted counter argument to whatever the “oppressed” groups are demanding. (See the linked article where Muslims are pressed at the very idea that they had to “ask” permission to blast noise at 5:30 am rather than simply asserting their right to do so).

  4. Democratic capture of the state institutions. Minneapolis is hopelessly Democratic, I think the city council is literally 100% D or at least has been in the past. But that’s typical for a big city. What’s different in Minnesota compared to other similar states is the total dominance of team D at the state government level. MN as a whole is swung to the D side just enough (thanks largely to the huge population of the Twin Cities) that it’s very difficult to imagine the governorship going R, and the governor appoints the appellate court judges and Supreme Court justices so it’s difficult to imagine the judiciary being anything but far left. This full, continuous capture of the power in the state is not present in Wisconsin, to name one example, or in other similar states.

So in Minneapolis you have the usual D-leaning urban population, but it’s one that is 1. Weak-willed; 2. Wants to be “allies;” 3. Afraid; and 4. Not held in check by a balance of power in state institutions above them that could step in and halt any extreme measures.

It’s not surprising at all that the latest version of race madness touched off here. All the above factors are of a type to ensure no one would have the guts to stop rioters. It’s going to continue to get worse in Minneapolis. Crime is on the rise and even liberal-minded people (who aren’t complete danger-haired activists) tell me they do not consider the city a safe place to be anymore. 100 years from now, the situation in Minneapolis will probably be studied as a way to understand the insanity of 21st century leftism in microcosm.

This change happened since Obama.

Imagine the damage that Biden’s mass importation of violent Talibans will do.

This is a blatant constitutional violation and violation of the spirit of the founding of this country. Muslims were the enemies of the Christian colonist who formed this nation.
