Im asking this question because of some of the people I have encountered that want extra laws made banning it and they say they would never vote for ANY Muslim politician because of it.

SO I ask, do you fear Sharia Law and think its a possibility here in the US.

I do not.
 
No, obviously.

Now I want mashed potatoes.

I do not.

There would be nothing barring individuals from engaging in contract which upheld Sharia Law so long as it doesn't conflict with US law and individual liberty.
 
Hell no. People bitch about how partisan our government is now by having "under God" in the POA and "in God we trust" on money. Sharia law is much, much, MUCH more pervasive than that.

And I promise that if any politician ever tried for Sharia law with a loud enough voice, they'd get assassinated in a heartbeat.
 
I would say it is virtually impossible.

I understand that and thats exactly why i have no fear of it

lots of people have their own laws/customs/beliefs but they dont get to trump or violate us laws, freedoms and liberties because of them.

actually, sadly this is probably 100% true IMO

sadly because I think its extreme NOT because I wouldnt think that would be a horrible politician, that would be the worse politician.
 
No, obviously.

works every time doesnt it? lol

I don't share your level of confidence. I see a division between Conservative Christians and everyone else in the not too distant future, and Sharia Law making a very strong bid as the dominant system among "everyone else".

Why? Why would everyone who isn't a conservative Christian support Sharia Law?
 
No, the possibility for sharia law in the USA is nonexistent at the moment.

It is however a very real threat in the UK and France. A small threat, but a real one.

Why would unconservative Christians and the irreligious, who make up the vast majority of the "everybody else" want to live under Sharia?

im guessing you arent from america?
 
Your Star said:

Kinda wondered the same thing. In a democratic system, it's completely impossible because you're talking about close to half of the voting population being able to accept a status that renders them worthless in the eyes of the law. I'm sure the evangelical female population wouldn't mind being treated like owned chattel, but that's far too small of a percentage of the American population.

no clue, my GUESS is he isnt american and is greatly misinformed
 
IMHO, not even the most Conservative Christian would embrace Sharia law, let alone anybody else. Other than a few Conservative Pro-Caliphate Muslims that might embrace the concept, it really isn't in the range of plausibility.

by the way you voted wrong "I think" maybe you can ask you star to fix it for you
 
Whoops. My bad.

Ah well. My accidental "yes" vote will get swamped down by way too many people voting "lol no".
 
I don't think you guys grasp of how a truly dangerous and regressive system sharia law is...

"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.

weird I dont think anybody mentioned if its dangerous or regressive only that it wont be here in america if it violates any laws :shrug:
 
"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.

There is a huge difference between accepting non-radical muslims, the ones that comprise the vast majority of the muslim population in America, and not wanting to make laws that oppress them, and being accepting of radical muslims who would force their faith on us all.

Sane people accept non-radical muslims, and sane people also reject radical muslims that would want to commit acts of violence, and push their faith down people's throats. Though that is the same of every religion.

Laws change according to the morality of people or if they aren't enforced. It is nothing to be certain of. There is one true defense against sharia and that is proper education into what it entails and how a society works after it is put in place. It doesn't work. It is also highly incompatible with western society and it breeds poverty.

We have slutty diners, MUCH better beer and real football here in Europe and sharia is indeed creeping into certain places here. Your argument is invalid
