Documentary film-maker Eric Allen Bell is an out-spoken opponent of the mosque project in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Originally a supporter of the project, he went to Murfreesboro to make a film. Over time, as he saw who was involved in the project, he turned against it-at great personal risk to himself and his career.
In this just-posted article for Frontpage Magazine, bell describes the inroads that Islamists are making into promoting the idea of sharia law in America-and why it has no place in a free and democratic society such as ours. For those of you who think sharia can never get past our Constitution, read this article.

There are also those who say, "Why not just allow the local Muslim communities to practice sharia, at least when it comes to civil affairs? After all, it won't affect the rest of us."
Sorry. Every citizen is entitled to our protections-including Muslim Americans. If a Muslim woman or girl (like Rifqa Bari) turns to our courts for protection, she cannot be turned away. What if a Muslim gay or apostate asked a court for protection? Should they be denied that protection because they were a member of a religious community? Did we not act to protect minor children from abuses carried out by the Warren Jeffs religious sect?
C'mon all you feminists and gay rights groups! Where are your voices on this?

Here is a unique idea to baffle the liberals:
We don't allow any religious or foreign laws to be enacted over the Constitution of the United States, State Constitution, County Laws, City Laws.
In effect, you can use your religious laws, but cannot impose them on the nation.
What a concept! The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land!
I agree wholeheartedly with you. People can practice their religion as long as it does not conflict with the Constitution (or any other duly enacted laws) and it doesn't seek to impose itself on anyone else.
.
Of course the constitution is the supreme law of the land. Now if we could just convince the Republican party of that.
Muslims have the same right to practice Sharia that Jews have to practice kosher. No more and no less, and no coercion in matters of religion (to parphrase Muhammed).
Its worth noting that immigrants of the Muslim faith come from lands where for centuries, each good sized city had its Armenian Christian area, its Greek Christian quarter, its Roman Christian quarter, its Jewish quarter, and if there were a sufficient number of different Islamic sects, its Sunni, Shia, Ammadiyah, Sufi, Druze, etc. quarters.
In these quarters, each community DID live in subjection to "its own" political-religious leadership. So, it may be a new thought that as a religious minority, Muslims don't get to form such a ghetto here and keep to themselves.
They still can't have that here, but this may be why some Muslims are disturbed that they cannot. After all, the Sultan let Christians do that during the most significant of the caliphates. And they keep hearing that America is a Christian nation... (Hint: America is NOT a Christian nation.)
