This past week has provided two glaring examples of the pitfalls of allowing that “no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam,” as per the new constitutions of the vox populi elected governments in Afghanistan and Iraq. With major input from the U.S. State Department, both constitutions installed Islam as the official state religion and made ancient Islamic religious law, Shari’a, a primary guiding source for these legal systems. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy noted, the constitutions,
…also contained some human rights provisions, which is what…enthusiasts said we should be focusing on rather than all that nettlesome religio-cultural stuff…The State Department maintained that it [the Afghanistan constitution] also contained strong human rights provisions and was thus becoming a framework for the emergence of a peaceful and vibrant democracy

Let's pray our own Supreme Court doesn't cite their constitution (as "international law") when deciding some ACLU appeal on a case against Christians.
"According to a March 16, 2006 report from a London-based gay rights group, Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the supreme religious authority for Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq and an icon for Shi’a worldwide, has apparently decreed that gays and lesbians should be put to death “in the worst manner possible”. Confirmation of this claim is provided at Sistani’s own official website, specifically this page, item 5, from a question and answer section, which translates:
Q: What is the judgment on sodomy and lesbianism?
A: Forbidden. Those involved in the act should be punished. In fact, sodomites should be killed in the worst manner possible.*"
SCOTUS needs to recognize that Islam masquerades as a religion.
I thought a wall was to be caused to fall on them.
p.s. This is not a religion. It is a bloodthirsty, racist, and barbaric cult. I would call them Thugs but to do so would be an insult to the Thuggee.
A most egregious, almost criminal act, on the part of the American leadership. Ignorance can be cited as an excuse only so long.
Trying to "buy" the hearts and minds of a primitive killer culture has been clearly shown to be a waste of young American lives and huge amounts of American taxpayer wealth. I deeply resent both.
I may be wrong, that the opposite approach might have more desireable results years later, but I can't be wrong about the saving of young American lives and huge sums of American taxpayer money if a more punishing approach had been used: Destroy as much of their limited infrastructure and kill as many of the resistance as possible. And not pay one red cent in the reconstruction.
There has been absolutely no price for Afghanistan to pay for re-adopting the Taliban means of running the "new" country.
I certainly hope that the next lesson needed to applied there is more pragmatic and better suited for to the primitive muslim mentality. Behave or die.
True. Islamic Law holds to Islamic Territory. It is a political system.
Nazis may worship their prophet Adolph Hitler, and his text Mein Kampf, but that doesn't mean I have to respect the diversity of their supremacist ideology.
Islam is only tolerant of "some" other faiths (Jews and Christians because they are people "of the book") and only when they submit to being treated as lower beings under the law.
Where is Amnesty International and the "anti-apartheid" crowd today? They oppose the death penalty but don't seem to be making much of a fuss about the death penalty being served for a difference of religious faith.
I brought up SCOTUS because THEY have been referencing foreign nations' laws to justify activist decisions they already want to make and are not to be found in our own Constitution.
We did not write their constitution. International pressure (not just from the US) can be brought to bear against ALL muslim nations that violate human rights (but unlikely as these nations also sit on the Human Rights council at the UN).
For the time being, Bush has decided to call it "Islamofacism." Is this right? No. I'm not sure what his bargaining power would be if he named the problem properly. He's come as close as is possible, I think. However, in regard to this specific incident, he needs to speak out for freedom of religion. Karzai may have his hand forced. It is an interesting situation.
Good point. It's what US supreme curt support of the gay marriage would do since gay-apostasi would be punished by alimony to a gay partner & loss of kids probably to gay families... it's all part and parcel of the laundering culture of Islam and gays, where one must support their ranks despite their horrors.
I know that Michael Savage labelled it Islamfascism but I don't know that is an appropriate term.
I prefer Islamonazism because they believe the world belongs to them by divine right,they dream of world domination, they are antisemitic like the Nazis, and they commit attrocities every bit as and even more brutal than the Nazis.
Are all muslims Islamonazis? No. But all Islamonazis are muslims. If they weren't muslims would find no problems with condemning them as blasphemers. But muslims are instructed not to criticize the faith of other muslims.
There is no need to call it Islamofacism. There is no need to call it Islamonazism. "Islam" means all the things you said and Islam is the problem.
I call it Islamic Supremacism because it conveys the (true) connotation between itself and White Supremacism, which is so anathema in this country. It's racist, it's sexist, it's bloodthirsty, and as long as these so-called peace groups refuse to condemn it, I consider them the enemy.
You are right. Until the day that Islam allows its followers to freely choose their religion, which would be the day that we see how many muslims there REALLY are in the world, islam itself is the enemy.
They assume that the slammis won't win in the end, but will weaken us enough for them to take over. The whole thing is a friggin' joke. Every good slammi is a bigger boo-fooer than Richard Simmons sweatin up the ying-yang.
