Religion of Pieces alert!
More Obama supporters go to jail!
Take your pick:
1.) Prosecute — you’re ETHNOCENTRIC
2.) Don’t prosecute — you’re INDIFFERENT
As soon as Sharia Law arrives, our own children will be subjected to this—if we continue to ignore what kind of religion Islam is.
This is not a violation of Islamic principles, this is what Islam IS. Mohammed would be proud of these guys.
Obama’s Religion Alert!
Sad WA ping
It’s their custom, doncha know? We shouldn’t interfere. Let them have their own courts imposing share the teenage woman slave law. We need to respect their tradition. Who are we to criticize?
Say WA? Evergreen State ping
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.
Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
Are you serious? or just foolishly sarcastic.
Sharia law does not belong in the United States
nor should it be recognized by our legal system as valid.
US law is US law and that is what applies here.
Want to live under Sharia? then move to Saudi Arabia or Iran.
Keep that totalitarian hogwash away from here.
I will not submit under any circumstances.
Islam’s goal is world domination and the total eradication of those who think differently. And that religion allows its adherents to lie to your face and then stab you in the back. Beware - you have been warned.
Would you say that Sharia law the way that it is imposed in countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia is inconsistent with the Constitution?
Ask yourself which of our leaders who is sworn to uphold the Constitution has criticized such application of Sharia law as we see in Iran and Saudi Arabia?
Sharia law as applied in Iran and Saudi Arabia is inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States. It imposes the religion of Islam on everyone regardless of their own religious beliefs. To the extent that any belief system violates the basic right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that belief system is inimical to our constitution.
It is not appropriate for any of our leaders to measure other nations’ laws and practices against our constitution but against the constitutions of those nations. If Sharia law is agreed to by the people of that nation, then it is appropriate for them. Those who do not wish to live under those rules should find another home and we should welcome them with open arms.
I will point out that the United Nations espouse a charter where basic human rights are protected by member nations. Any violation of those basic human rights is subject to sanction and legal action by the International Court in the Hague.
Where I draw the line is at our borders. Anyone who comes here and murders a person for family honor should face a jury, a judge and an executioner as swiftly as possible. Anyone who performs genital mutilation on a girl or woman has committed sexual assault and should be tried and face the death penalty or a long prison sentence in solitary confinement. Such acts are not only an affront to basic human decency but a violation of our constitution and laws.
And, if you think that hanging a 13 year old girl from the end of a crane in public is just “punishment” for being seen walking down the street with a boy who is not a relative...? I question your humanity.
Seattle-area immigrants accused of enslaving teenage Afghan girl for sex, housework

Lock Yousuf up and give him the rest of his life to learn English in the slammer.
As applied in the countries you mention it cradles and breeds and encourages the attacks against us that have now persisted for almost twenty years. If we had the leadership to dramatically and swiftly wrest the oil weapon from tbeir hands (which could have been done long since) the bankruptcy of their form of the rule of Sharia law would be evident. As it is we cannot afford to let it continue but do nothing about it.
You and I have no disagreement. The culture in those states that espouse Sharia law does tend to breed enemies of freedom wherever it lives. The camel’s nose has come under the tent - it may be too politically risky to get hold of the rope and drag him out back where he belongs. The safest thing we can do is to put US Marshals under cover in every mosque in the US so we know what (if anything) they are preaching and planning against us. We should take comprehensive measures to protect ourselves from any attack. Allah fearing Moslems have nothing to fear.
