A Muslim is barred by his system of governance from taking an [[oath]] of [[citizen]]ship to a state. Albeit, a Muslim can deceive a non-Muslim in an important matter or issue involving life and death (such as renouncing Islam) without [[sin]]ning. Islam claims that Allah alone is sovereign, and he does not share power with [[Jesus]] or any government of man other than Islam. It would be fallacious to describe Islam as a "race" or a "religion", as it is a political system of social governance with exclusively [[male]] judges to execute rulings on [[civil]] and [[criminal]] matters, based on [[law]] and [[precedent]]. There really are no gray areas over how adherents of Islam fit into the sphere of [[identity politics]], easily discernible to all, other than the willful ignorance of liberalism. | A Muslim is barred by his system of governance from taking an [[oath]] of [[citizen]]ship to a state.
