The christian right wing nutjobs in this country frighten me far more than any sharia-law-wannabe person could ever hope to.
I find it interesting that of the current 112 'yes' votes only five of them are visible, the others choose to hide for some reason. Does that say anything about them?
I keep hearing from conservative talk show hosts... Ah! look I found your problem. It's not Sharia Law at all! lol Why would anyone give those morons enough credibility to discuss their suggestions seriously? btw, Sharia law is one type of interpretation of laws and rules in the Quran. There are many interpretations just like in Christianity. There is no document called Sharia Law that Muslims have to follow! It is just term that conservative talk show host have taken to using because their listeners don't know what it is. Therefore they can define it as they wish for their purpose.
I keep hearing from conservative talk show hosts that Feisal Abdul Rauf (the Imam for the Park 51/Cordoba House/Ground Zero Mosque) wants a Sharia compliant America and that we should be worried.
Why would Americans EVER condone cutting someone's hands off for stealing (they do also imprison people for theft)? Or stoning to death someone for committing adultery? Or lashing someone for having sex out of wedlock? Or killing someone who renounces their faith? Or allowing more than one wife? Or only allowing the husband to divorce his wife? Or killing homosexuals?
Some of the other laws aren't that big of a deal, or are more related to personal ways of practicing Islam rather than crime and punishment.
But to even humor the thought that we in America have anything to worry about this Imam wanting a Sharia compliant America IMO is laughable.
To be honest I don't know how far the majority of Muslims in America would want to integrate Sharia Law into America, if at all. Some Muslims condemn some of the forms of punishment listed above. Though there is much covered in Sharia law, many of the laws conflict with the rights and practices we have in America. I simply do not believe the laws that go against our constitution and practices would ever be condoned in America.
No fear, well at least until their higher rate of reproduction gives way to Muslims becoming the majority of the country. Then I will fear, if I am still alive.
We have 20 million illegal mexicans in the U.S. who are breeding the hell out of the muslims. Should we be grateful for that?
No, there is no worry what so ever with Sharia law ever becoming law of the land, of ever being able to override the rights and liberties of the individual. And everyone expressing the fear that this is a possibility is just being plain stupid. And that's the facts.
The only possibility of it happening is if enough people want it that they elect enough people to start amending the constitution in that direction. Its a pretty remote chance though and if there is that sort of groundswell, than its probably what the people want anyway.
I ain't worried, I have guns.
I commented on this earlier... someone is ***ing with the poll. They open this page without signing in to their account then vote multiple (many multiple) times... so they show up (or rather don't show up) as a guest when they vote.
For what its worth...I dont vote in polls...so it aint me!
Liar! I know it was you. You libertarian scums are always screwing with us. Your so called respect of the constitution and stuff.
I might if I was interested enough to bother!!!
Curses! Foiled by your lack interest.
Shariah law is simply one kind of authoritarian law, and in that respect we should always be worried about rising authoritarianism, whether it comes from liberalism or conservatism, or Christianity or Islam.
I was more referring to it ACTUALLY being condoned in the U.S.
Yeah, anyone could be worried about Sharia Law... but that doesn't mean it will be integrated into our judicial system. Especially concerning the Sharia laws that go against our constitution and practices.
