This is one of the most poorly-researched, poorly-written articles ever written on Sharia and Islam. It demonstrates an ignorant, naive view of Sharia. No effort was made to actually research Sharia itself. It compares Sharia to the Bible, which is a flawed comparison both in terms of its relevance and in the conclusions drawn; there is nothing in Christianity that compares in any way to Sharia...

Yet they’ll kill you for being Christian in Muslim countries. Go figure.

It isn’t a crime to practice Islam in the United States of America.

That's a shame.

It’s like this Cathleen, if you don’t like it here, go back to the Middle East where you can happily live like a 6th century savage with no Americans around to bother you.

It should be illegal to practice islam in America (as well as any other civilized country). There is room for only on e form of government and I like the one we have.

Oh, you thought islam was a religion, Cathleen?

The left persecutes Christians because they’re “scary” but reveres Muslims. Whom do you really think they’re more afraid of?

But critics say those efforts amount to little more than blatant anti-Muslim bigotry and fly in the face of the First Amendment’s protection of the “free exercise” of religion.

No other "religion" that had the goal of undermining and overthrowing our Constitution and form of government would be tolerated - except maybe the Commies that have infiltrated it. If I am a bigot because I forcefully oppose those who want to destroy my religion, my nation and my way of life, I will wear the label of "bigot" proudly. I think most real Americans would label my positions as patriotic, principled and virtuous. Calling someone who shares my principles and beliefs a "bigot" sheds a bright light on the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of those doing the rote, flippant name-calling.

One of the hallmarks of these badly written and researched pieces is the predictable use of false choices, strawman arguments and the ENDLESS recitation of the usual ‘grievances’, as if they’ve never been proposed and answered before like the charge that it’s unfair to whitewash an entire community for the actions of a tiny minority. I can’t read this crap anymore. I just wish someone were smart enough to say, somewhere along the way,
“Islamophobia???” No we’re not afraid of Islam! THat’s why we’re holding hearings, that’s why we’re discussing it!”

It should be. It is a disease of the human soul.

Based on the picture, the slut must be stoned for appearing in public looking like that!

As for being Muslim becoming illegal, we are working on it. And, let me tell you, Moslim theology, Sharia Law, and Moslim behavior is making it an easier task every day that passes.

We may even look forward to playing Cowboys & Moslims in the reasonably near future.

;-)

Go ahead. Cry your crocodile tears. The US is so mean!!!

Where do I start with this political pile of garbage you wrote?

First, it isn’t a crime to be a Muslim in America and it never will be. Thank God for that. With that said, try being a Christian in Iraq or Saudi Arabia or Iran. Muslims are hypocrites!!

Second, I was in England last year. I saw many Muslims enjoying their lives, smoking those water pipes, and women walking around in Burkas. This is all fine in many ways because it’s freedom. Still, could anyone imagine a British Pub being accepted in say Cairo or Tripoli or Tehran where the beer flowed freely and the flirting went over board? Not a friggin chance in hell!!! Muslims are hypocrites.

Third, since 2001, there have been over 5000 suicide bombings in the world by Muslims. Most have occurred in Muslim countries. Some have occurred in the west. This is absolute madness!!!

Fourth, one of best friends is from Iran...better to say escaped from Iran. She’s a beautiful person and she is welcome. Americans are the most tolerant, friendly, welcoming people in the world...and that includes welcoming Muslims. So, just shut up and quit whining about how unfair it is in America. It’s the best place in the world or you wouldn’t be here!!

Do you really blame westerners for being cautious with Islam in their own country or even judging it harshly...for now? It’s politically harsh and intolerant of other views in every part of the world that it dominates. Instead of getting annoyed with Americans, maybe its a better idea to get annoyed with the leaders of your religion?

Done!!!
