Detroit: Opposing Sharia is ‘Racism at its Core’

Detroit: Opposing Sharia is ‘Racism at its Core’ by SHEIKYERMAMI on AUGUST 22, 2011 Muslims denounce bill to ban ‘foreign laws’

Of course, of course. ‘Racism’ is the last straw for the intellectually bankrupt. But because the race card still works for some they believe if they just yell loud enough some fool might yield.

But a.) Islam is not a race, b.) Muslim spokesmen keep telling us that they have no intention to ever impose sharia on us, and c.) any opposition to sharia will meet the wrath of Allah, which includes hellfire, law-fare, jihad and if necessary religiously mandated murder.

Community leaders call state rep’s plan divisive, unnecessary– Oralandar Brand-Williams – The Detroit News

State Rep. Rashida Tlaib, right, denounces a plan to keep courts from considering foreign laws as Dawud Walid of CAIR-Michigan, left; state Rep. Harvey Santana; Mary Bejian of the ACLU of Michigan; and Jonathan Contreras of Alliance for Immigrants Rights & Reform look on.

Detroit —Opposition is mounting among Muslims against pending legislation that would ban Michigan courts from considering “foreign laws” — including Sharia, or Islamic law.

Muslim and community leaders gathered Tuesday in Midtown to denounce legislation from state Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, as divisive, unnecessary and mean-spirited.

“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan.

“It’s racism at its core.”

Similar measures are under consideration in 25 other state legislatures, and supporters say the protections are needed. The Michigan bill doesn’t mention Sharia, but watchdog groups say they’ve identified 50 cases nationwide that could be influenced by the religious rules. Most involved divorce or child custody.

Another sponsor of the Michigan bill, Rep. Martin Knollenberg, R-Troy, said the legislation is necessary because “we shouldn’t allow other laws to usurp the state constitution.”

He scoffed at critics who called the bill racist: “Where does it say (in the bill) it’s anti-Muslim?”

Agema last week called the accusations of bigotry “hogwash.”

A House committee has yet to take up discussion of the bill. The Council of American-Islamic Relations’ Michigan chapter announced Tuesday it would sue if it becomes law. Gov. Rick Snyder’s office hasn’t done an analysis of the measure, said his spokeswoman, Geralyn Lasher.

“We don’t know if this is an issue taking place or whether there is a need” for a law, she said.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee also encouraged members Tuesday to contact their state representatives and urge them to oppose the bill.

You probably didn’t know that sharia is already being applied by U.S. judges:

Below are ten cases of American Muslim Families who have encountered conflicts between the equal protection under the Constitution they should have received, and legal discrimination imposed on them by Shariah law – in American Courts (excerpted from“Shariah Law and American State Courts“).

In cases 1-3, the Appellate Courts upheld Shariah law; in cases 4-7, the Trial Courts upheld Shariah, but the Appellate Courts reversed (protecting the litigant’s constitutional rights); in cases 8-10, both Trial and Appellate Courts rejected the attempts to enforce Shariah law.

Anything that upsets mudslimes is good. They are so easily offended because they have such weak minds.

A good response to the ‘opposition to implementing Sharia for Muslim communities is racism’ is to ask how this is racist if Islam embraces all ethnic groups from fair skinned Caucasians to Sub Saharan blacks and Sinicized Central Asians ?

In Islam, Arabs and Arabic are the master race. All others are expected to accept the universal truths of Islam and sumbit to the will of Allah. But Arabic is the language of Islam, and Arabs are the chosen ones.

I just responded that they were an idiot and that Islam is not a race, hence it is not racist to oppose it. His eyes glazed over and he had another shot....

Muslims who like Sharia should move back to the countries have operate under Sharia law - lots of places to choose from... Most of them are involved in wars, corruption, and they're poor - but what they hell... they have Sharia.

Maybe to blame for the misery, but still - Sharia.

What Muslims don't understand is if they put their 'laws' into effect here, we'll become the same kind of hellhole they left. If that's what they want - why change us? Why not just move back to the places that force Sharia on citizens? They still exist. They're still hellholes. And since no one wants to live there, disgruntled Muslims will have no problem being accepted...
