As an example, they may counsel with a husband and wife who are getting a divorce, may suggest in the division of property, but the divorce itself must go to an American court for the divorce to happen.
If a member or members of this group break an American law, only then may they be hauled into an American court and charged with a crime.
I'd rather their mosque wasn't in this area, not that far from me, but they are here legally and could build that mosque legally and can do what they want on their property with their members, except they cannot commit a crime, just as other churches and their members cannot commit a crime.
Some people have a bias against Catholics, but in this country we have freedom of religion. Catholics can do what they want on their property with their members as long as no American laws are broken. Just because some people think Catholics are wrong in their beliefs and activities, Catholics have the protection of our constitution regarding religious freedom. So do the Muslims as long as they break no federal or Texas law.
I am a Catholic.
Roger that. Just want to assurance that there is no way that the “validity” of their rules and regs trying to be put in place is the issue. Off the books, counseling etc is all well and good but there is always the possibility of the incrementally placing sharia compliant laws on the books. Pretty sure they aren’t happy with Judeo-Christian based laws on which this country was pieced together. Despite the lyin’ king’s input that Islam helped create this country.
