Shariah Law? Not in Our Country!




This is why the West must never allow the imposition of Shariah law

I'm not too worried about it happening here.

Still, this sort of thing is all the more reason why we must always make sure that there's a clear line between church and state in this country. So long as that's clear, there's no way that shariah law can take over.

Lance,

Have you been reading about the inroads shariah is making in the UK?

I can think of a lot of even better safeguards.

Well, that's not the only answer, but it's definitely our first line of defense.

Much ado about nothing.

"I can think of a lot of even better safeguards."

Gee Gary, perhaps you have some sort of "final solution" to the problem...

Anyways, are you really worried about this? If so, I think you might be a bit delusional. According to the CIA, only 0.6% of the U.S. population is Muslim.

Like Lance said, this is why we have the 1st amendment.

Let's also hope Biblical (Levitical) law is never enforced here in the U.S. Otherwise we wouldn't be allowed to shave the sides of our faces, couldn't wear clothing made of more than one material (cotton/poly), and disrespectful teenagers would have to be stoned to death in the streets.

Well put.

I agree wholeheartedly with Gary Fouse. Just read British writer Melanie Phillips' Londonistan book, or go to www.melaniephillips.com and see the horrors GB is dealing with. They are literally invaded by Muslims taking over Christianity and English tradition - and even western rights.

Stonings like the photo presented here and hangings are going on NOW in Iran. Women and men are buried up to their waists and necks alive and stoned to death for adultry, robbery, and murder. This is no joke and most importantly, what most Americans refuse to acknowledge, there is a delicate line now between our US freedoms as we know them and the rest of the enroaching world. Division of church and state is important, yes, but it is just a fraction of the fronts this war must be fought on to protect our US sovereignty and US Constitution.

Bryan,

No, no final solution. What I am saying is not that us muslims should be driven out or persecuted-only that they m,ust realize that Shariah law will not be imposed here and that it is against our principles of freedom and tolerance. As I said before, those Muslims who risk their lives to speak out against terror and intolerance in the name of Islam deserve our support. Unfortunately, they are mostly silent-for a variety of reasons.

And yes, Shariah is making inroads in the uk. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the highest justice official in the uk have conceded it should be accommodated to some extent. And don't think that it is not being carried out secretely in some quarters.

To Pierre:

While there are certainly segments of Islam that meet your definition, are you aware that this is a religion that's been around for over 1000 years and has over a billion followers? Death cults don't have those numbers nor do they have that kind of longevity.

As for "destroying every civilization in its path" - what exactly do you base that on? What does that even mean? Spain managed to remain pretty Spanish under Muslim rule. If you want to look at it historically speaking, Christianity has "destroyed" civilizations as well. If it hadn't, I would have been raised to worship Donar and Wotan instead of some Jewish carpenter.

(I don't know what your ethnicity is - but no matter what it is, I can guarantee that there was a time when your ancestors worshipped a pantheon of gods.)

Your views are extremist, which allows for absolutely no sense of nuance or thoughtfulness. It kinda reminds me of something...hmm...

Pierre,

Your comments are interesting and provocative. I would be interested in Lance's response.
