My question to you guys is real simple... What's in the best interest of our nation, to move away from this, or to move toward it?
Why should anyone accept your premise that every public policy is either moving toward Sharia or away from it? The violent punishments are unjust, and anathema to Western way of thinking. We are very far away from anything like that. No topic on this thread about American laws and culture, can be compared to that. To assert such is an attempt to demonize those who disagree with you.
For example, it is not "like Shari" to resist PC laws. Laws that would force, at the point of a gun, public acceptance of non-traditional coupling as equal to marriage. (E.G. enforcement that the owner of an inn must accomodate openly gay couples.)
The thing is, such relationships are not "equal" to traditional marriage from the point of view of the culture. From the point-of-view within such a relationship it may be the same, but it is unsustainable for a culture to try to "level" everything.
I'm not asking about every public policy, I'm asking about public p[olicy toward homosexuals, which s what's being discussed here.

I beg to differ...the demonization is being carried out by the same people who pointed out that at the time of the Founders, sodomy was punishable by death, and they indicated that this in line with conservative thinking.
Who is forcing what at the "point of a gun"?
Such drama!
Here's a thought for you...what we are experiencing now with same sex couples demanding the right to be married, is the end result of government getitng into the marriage business.
Now, let's hear your ideas on how to keep homosexuals from the public square.
It is cultural Marxism.
