"A panel of federal judges has ruled that states cannot protect their courts from jurists who base their decisions on international or Koranic law. America needs better judges."

In a decision that Muslim legal advocates celebrated as a major win, a federal appeals court on Tuesday agreed with a lower court that blocked an Oklahoma law that would have barred state courts from considering or using Shariah law — the Islamic code of conduct.

Man, you should read the articles you link to:

Problem doesn't exist, lawyer says
Although Islam’s detractors suggest that "creeping sharia," left unchecked, will undermine U.S. freedoms, Feldman says that these laws play on fears of a problem that does not exist.

"The Constitution of the United States, and the constitution of every state -- that is 51 constitutions -- already make it illegal to implement Islamic law,” said Feldman. “Just as Jewish law can’t be the law of the United States, and canon law can’t be the law of the United States, shariah law can’t be the law of the United States."

"It’s like a law that says we absolutely ban alligators on the South Pole," he said

Yes, one can remain as ignorant and paranoid and bigotted as one likes. One can eschew the constitution because of one's xenophobia, but saner heads shall prevail.

I used ignorant in the manner of uninformed... not as an insult.

Look, if you want to get personal we can but it only shows that you lack character to have said what you have said. :shrug:

Now, I read their opinions... and that is what they are... opinions. Also, you are completely taking what I have been saying out of context. Reading comprehension has been a problem for many of our newer members lately... think what you will. I am done with your silliness.

You know - it is rather interesting watching how some individuals use their brains.

The bias with which people bring to life, I think speaks to something much deeper than their political beliefs. I think it speaks volumes about their education and their parental rearing. On the one hand, you've got people who you say claim that they won't vote for a Muslim. Yet, these vary same people seem to have no problem whatsoever, voting for someone who is actively seeking to become a god.

The implication in saying one won't vote for a Muslim, is that there is something wrong with Islamic beliefs. Yet, these very same people seem to drop any attempt at making the same implication when it comes to supporting one who honestly beliefs that his life on this planet, is one of the stages to becoming a god.

I find this willful stratification of one's own personal beliefs about what's supportable and what's not supportable, to be an amazing contradiction. But, of course, that's what we love to do as human beings is it not - contradict ourselves into oblivion.

In other words, its "OK" to support someone seeking to become a god, but not "OK" to support someone who follows Mohammad. Now, I personally belief that both views are wrong and have no real historical basis for being true. When you study both Mormonism and Islam, you find glaring contradictions in both their doctrines and not just logical contradictions but, but historical and archaeological contradictions as well.

Still, the idea that someone would not take the time to understand the beliefs of the candidate they support, yet be in full opposition to another based upon -guess what- their beliefs, is strikingly hypocritical to me.

No, of course not. The U.S. Constitution is not in danger as a result of any threat of instantiation of Sharia Law.

There are any number of reasons to not support a political candidate and their stance on religion is no different than anything else because it shows a mindset. It has nothing to do with hypocrosy. Sorry...
 
Well, sharia law bans stealing, murder and some other behaviors which are banned by our laws already.
This proves we already have both feet on the slippery slope to becoming a Wahhabi paradise.

Luckily we don't permit mutilation of prisoners and most states do not permit the death penalty. Looks like we grabbed a root on that slippery slope.

Oh, our descent into living in a Wahhabist Paradise is inevitable as sin. No matter how much evidence you amass showing that we're not all the way there yet, you still won't be able to prove that we're not headed that way posthaste in a handbasket.

Well some of the things which were lifted from sharia law come to us from English common law before the American Revolution. So it's a very, very long term conspiracy to acquire the US for Allah. We're slip sliding awayeeayay. The nearer our destination the more we're slip sliding away.

I hear what you're saying, Paul, but we're talking a very long time. Maybe 200 years or so. Everything else might have changed by then as well, and the world would not be recognizable to us anyway. The danger is not as terrible as it seems. It's all inside your head, she said to me. The answer is easy if you take it logically.

It's ok, don't worry.

If folks ever start gathering around someone with rocks I'll drive my car back and forth through the crowd until it disperses or they've all gone to Allah.

I personally forbid all forms of theocracy in my country.

"Wanting" is irrelevant. It's a question of wills. Who has the stronger will? Passive, disciples of diversity and tolerance, or hard charging zealots who won't give an inch? It's a no-brainer.

"Creeping Sharia" is just another scare tactic the RW keeps talking about to keep the wing nuts stirred up. It is that simple.

We have hooters, beer and football. I think only the football is ok under sharia. No, it will never catch on here.

Isn't a football made of pigskin?

Problem is that the policy wonks on the left tend to ignore the issue about Sharia Law considering Musulms needing acceptance while being quite vigilant against the Christian attempts to influence society. There is a disconnect that both situations include an attempt to intrude on areas that are best left out of application of law.
Click to expand...

So we need laws forbidding Christian law too?

How the hell do you get to overturning the first amendment?
 
Shadow Serious said:
You are forgetting that the SCOTUS could undermine the Constitutional protections against application of Sharia Law. A State or several States could adopt Sharia Law and then yes Sharia Law would be active in the US. Then without the nullifying of it we would have a situation of some people in States doing there best to stop it in their States and those would be targeted by the more radical Muslims by threats or harassment.

And those Muslims would get their asses shot by gun totin Americans.

I'm sorry guys, you've been duped by fearmongers.

Never gonna happen in any of our lifetimes.

There are plenty of dangerous wackadoodle ideologies out there.
Hell,I live a quarter of a mile away from a couple of neo-nazi's.
The questions are" how imminent a threat to this country are they?
And what exactly do you want us to do about it?

I can't speak for anyone else on this thread,but :
I fully support our government's efforts to root out and destroy terrorists organizations.
I fully support our government hunting down terrorists and bringing them to justice.
I fully support our government cutting off funds for terrorist organizations.
I fully support our government preventing terrorists and people with terrorist ties from entering our country.
I fully support our government and law enforcement agencies prevent terrorist cells in this country from implementing attacks on our soil and prosecuting those involved to the fullest .

What I do not and will not support is invading Muslim countries just to convert them to Christianity (the Anne Coulter approach)
What I do not and will not support is legislation denying law abiding muslims or entry into and the right emigrate to our country.
What I do not and will not support is legislature turning law abiding muslims american or any other law abiding minority american into second class citizens by denying them the right to vote,run for office,own property,etc.
What I do not and will not support is shipping muslims into "ghettos" or internment camps.
What I will not do is automatically fear and hate all muslims in general just because some of the sociopaths that infest this forum probably believe I should.

That explains your position on muslims.

By your logic every muslim is waiting in line for their bomb vest.
