Luckily in that decision was reversed in time before the guy decided to beat the hell out of that woman or worse.




As long as it doesn't violate US law you should be able to impose any terms you want in a contract and those terms are written in that contract. A judge rulling on that contract would only be ruling on that contract..

Well... yes, but usually when you're seeing religious law in court it's because of some provision in a contract stipulating adherence to religious law, which means the judge is forced to address whatever religion is at issue. The article I cited has some examples. The case you were referring to is obviously a different kind of issue, but, again, this sort of thing does come up in intent determinations in crimlaw as related to a number of cultures. I commented on this a while back, but the first example that comes to my mind was a case involving a first generation Chinese immigrant who adhered to an animist tradition. I'll look it up when I get home if you're interested. My point, of course, is that Sharia isn't being imposed on US courts, and currently gets the exact same treatment as every other religious or cultural authority. Obviously the occassional judge is going to make a bad ruling, but that can happen whether or not any religion is involved at all.
 
No ...although that will not stop Muslims in the U.S in their communities from practicing it here behind closed doors.

The problem is recognizing the threat that Sharia Law means. Do they know that it is not consistent their beliefs as liberals? Do they understand that a adherent of Sharia Law being a member of a "minority" doesn't mean that they should be included a special protected group since neo-nazis are a minority also and liberals would not support them (I hope). How soon would the "left" see it as a true threat? When the Sharia adherents are rioting in the streets?

I do not believe it is an immediate threat nor do I believe it is a near term threat it is something that could occur after 20 years of idulging the existence of Sharia.

Sharia law has never been implemented once, not once in this country. Name one single case of Sharia law, what court, which state, when, and WHICH specific law was it. there is not a handful of judges, there is not a single one. Scary storys from the far right to keep the RWnuts stirred up.

Three-Star General: Muslim Brotherhood Has Infiltrated Department of Defense

ANN ARBOR, MI – U.S. Army Lieutenant General (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin, in a recent World Net Daily radio interview, confirmed that people with high security clearances connected to the Muslim Brotherhood hold important positions in every major federal agency including the Pentagon and the Department of Defense.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical Islamist organization that has vowed the destruction of America from within.

General Boykin has the credentials to back up his conclusions. He was one of the original members of the U.S. Army's Delta Force which he ultimately led in combat operations. He also served a tour in the CIA during which time he participated in clandestine operations throughout the world. He served his last four years in the Army as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

I think the religious nuts in our country would never allow it. Considering how much power the christian religion has over our politics influencing laws, I don't see it happening.

Your assumption is that the Christian religion would have considerable influence still under the scenario.

may be true of all religions but other religions dont practice Sharia law.....and as for pressing charges...one has to be caught first...and when it happens in your Muslim community/Mosque no one will say a thing. It has already been stated that it happens here....but again...dont feel that it will ever make it into our laws...well maybe I should not use the word ever...but not anytime in the near future...

If you guys have a single sharia law upheld in this country a single time just post the Court, the date, the case and which law it was. I have never looked up a single case that really was sharia law, and the conservative blogoshpere makes it ver difficult to look things up. So if there really has been a case, I would be very interested in reading it, er the court record, not the wing nut blogoshpere.

The OP is whether or not would it be reasonably possible for Sharia Law to be accepted in the US not weather it has been accepted in one case or another already by SCOTUS or made law now by Congress and not vetoed by the President.

I was a labor and delivery nurse for 22 years....we delt with many woman that practice Sharia law here in the states.....in their communities.....how did we know this...because they told us when they were in labor on what was acceptable and not acceptable with their laws.....and with Dr. patient confidence unless a danger to them or their child they could not be reported. Some woman were even American born woman that married men that practiced this law and took it on as their own.

Not even one law in one court. The problem is not us ignorant libs that are just to dumb to understand, it has never happened and wont in this country. It is just a scary story to scare you guys.

I am not suggesting that liberals are stupid or necessarily ignorant; I do suggest that they are underestimating the potential threat that Sharia Law implies. Sharia is more than an ecclesiastical law such as Cannon Law with the Catholic Church it is an all encompassing law where the State is bound by and is subordinate to it. The threat is not like that with the Evangelical Christians which at worst would send people to prison for Sodomy. Where is Sharia it is death as the sentence. Where the Evangelical Christians would want Christianity to be the predominant religion and philosophy in particular their sects especially be so. Not only does Sharia adherents want to be the predominant religious law and philosophy they wish to be the only religion and philosophy and others are to be eliminated by any means necessary.
 
I'll let you two duke it out on whether you're Team Dude-who-played-vampire or team Dude-who-played-werewolf.

I have a problem with the stance you take on this matter. A stance I interpret as meaning, you don't think Islamism is a threat, you don't give a damn if creeping Jihad makes it's way into America or our government at any level and to any degree except at a 9/11 degree of death and damage and that any efforts to take precautions against Islamism is silly and bigoted.

You know, you can overdo it and throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Communism was arguably a bigger threat in the 50s than islamism is in America today, but McCarthy's reactions were still way too excessive. And the atmosphere was paranoid.

ok not sure how this changes ANYTHING that I said or maybe you are just telling me a non-related story
 
If people like Todd Aiken, and the R-R ticket become elected do not be surprised if they want to impose something like sharia law. But don't be surprised if these people win because of the state of the economy in the minds of many low info voters.
 
Not one law, not one court. Why does the RW keep repeating it?
