As America's Muslim population grows, so too does the influence of Islamic law, or Shariah, in daily life in the U.S.

"As a citizen, I am a subject of the United States," An-Na'im said. "I owe allegiance to the United States, to the Constitution of the United States. That is not inconsistent with observing a religious code in terms of my own personal behavior."

Seriously? I just don’t know.

Are we going to wait until we become England? We sure don’t have the politicians in Washington to do anything about it.

The G.W. Bush defenders on so many threads claim that he kept us safe but...allowing Mohammedan immigration to increase on his watch was NOT keeping us safe.

We need a Prez in 2013 that gets it.

At the moment, we have more dangerous things to worry about. Like liberals spending our great great great great grandchildren’s money.

They might as well be one in the same. Obama seeks Muslims for White House

"IF YOU HAVE TO ASK IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER DOES IT."

That sort of what I was illustrating.  Thank you for grasping that point.

As a citizen, I am a subject of the United States Minor point here, but I don't recall the Constitution mentioning that we are in any way 'subjects.'

In Obamaland?

We’re going to welcome them in and all start praying in the direction of Mecca.

Not doing so would make us “racist” and only make the world hate us even more.

Or so the argument will go...
