The question is absolutely absurd.


Imagine an instant what it would take for this delusional paranoic nightmare to be realized:

The constitution, the bill of rights, the declaration of independence - SCRAPPED
The Islamists gain control the presidentcy, government, armed forces, and all the security apparatus.
The majority of americans convert to Islam, or 400 million muslims illegals immigrate to the US right under the noses of them god fearing christians with guns.
The tens of millions of armed rednecks all get drunk at the same time and their weapons are taken away from them while they are passed out.

Utter and complete nonsense, believed by the paranoid, the insecure, the ignorant, and the bigotted.
 
can someone who said yes please explain why they feel that way? thanks :)
 
Seven nut cases here ?
Seriously ?
This "Sharia" law.... probably copied from the old English law in the 600s or the 1600s....
Our Conservatives seem to love the past, the Dark Ages..
And why this fear and dread of someone else's culture and law ?

Spot on!

I'd add one more point to the list: Even when all other points are met, it would still require the Muslims pushing for Sharia law convincing or overpowering those Muslims who don't really want Sharia law and are fond of the Western way of life because they have become used to it and/or don't really care much about their religion and/or follow a non-orthodox interpretation of Quran (such as Sufis or modernists).

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.

You should probably go and tell the Muslims this then, they have been doing it wrong.

Well, Sharia law, as it is practized in different Muslim countries, is indeed not compatible with Western values, as far as I can tell. Especially when it comes to equality of men and women (clearly not the case), religious freedom (death for apostates) and freedom in the bedroom (punishments for adultery and homosexual acts).

That said, it's not even legal standard in many Muslim countries and I doubt sufficiently convinced pro-Sharia Muslims will ever reach a sufficient number in America to make it a relevant problem. Unless the Dark Ages loving conservative Christians you mention all suddenly convert to orthodox Islam ... ;)

Just how many times could your significant other cheat on you before you'd be upset?
How many cockroaches would you allow before calling an exterminator?
How many turds floating in the punch is too many to prevent you from drinking it?

How many Islamists is too many for you to bear?

Should we try to wake you up before they infiltrate our government?

Well, wake the **** up!

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.

So what precautions do you suggest our government take that's not already being done?

I think Germany has an Islamist problem. But many of the non-Islamic Germans have adjusted to it and feel that we here in America should throw out the WELCOME mat for Islamists and not become concerned with the situation until after we have as many as Gemany has.

Well, I say we need to keep Islamist infiltration to a minimum and do whatever we can to discourage their presence and activities.

Yeah, Germany has an islamist problem. It has a neo-Nazi problem and a problem with revolutionary leftist extremists too. They're all being monitored and observed, and I'm confident the authorities can handle it.

The US has problems with cults and domestic terrorists too, who sometimes decide to blow up government buildings in Oklahoma, or which kill its disciples when they are about being raided by the police.

That's all not nice, sure, and deserves some attention. But no need to panic. You'll always have a few nuts.

Ban political Islam in America and launch an education program which tells the good AND the bad about Islam so that Americans no longer view Islam as just another benign religion nor view EVERY Muslim as a noble, oppressed innocent looking to make for themselves a red, white and blue, all-American success story.

Both are unrealistic views when you look at the facts.

No one has to be convinced of the threats those groups pose. And few reasonable people have such a blind spot for those groups as you and others seem to have for Islam and Islamists.

Aren't we already doing that?
We tend not to let people in this country with known terrorist ties.
And it isn't like Islamists are coming to this country wearing "Jihad World Tour '12" t-shirts.
How do you propose we keep "Islamist infiltration to a minimum" and what else should we do to discourage their presence and activities that our government isn't already doing?
