Senator Bill Ketron's bill goes further than other irrational US reactions to Islam by attempting to outlaw sharia entirely.
The United Kingdom has officially sanctioned the use of Islamic tribunals to settle some disputes, and in Germany, Islamic legal scholars such as Mathias Rohe have noted the compatibility of Islamic law to German law. The application of Islamic Law in Europe may remain controversial, but in the court of American public opinion, the idea of the Islamic legal system having any application in the US provokes massive social angst and sleazy political opportunism.
The southern state of Tennessee is the latest example of an irrational fear of Islam, which threatens American values and Muslim civil liberties. Bill Ketron Jr, a Republican State Senator in Tennessee who was first elected in 2002, introduced Senate bill 1028 to outlaw sharia.

"Sharia in England" sounded pretty stupid once upon a time. Give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile.
It’s disgraceful how our so called “government” is siding with everyone else AGAINST us! It drives me insane.
The Nashville area has been infused with so many Muslims by the US government, they feel emboldened to live by their own set of rules. We are probably not on a percentage scale as that of maybe Dearborn but they do not all embrace our laws.
Yep.Sounds like Grover Norquist or Ibrahim Hooper. White shills for Wahabbism.
Sharia in Tennessee. It sounds REALLY stupid when you say it out loud.
LOL!
Cat Stevens started the Mosque in Nashville. Some pretty ugly strategy going on down there it seems.
and they all live in the same spot (for the most part). Assimilation is not very successful. Social engineering on an international scale.
Thanks for the work BTW. I wasn’t sure of the original numbers. (No doubt doubled by now)
Several years ago I called on several Nashville firms run by Moslems, mostly Palestinian. My clients in Texas sent me.
One employed two American women who kept things going and answered the phone. Besides the two owners and one hanger on, all the other employees were Mexican. If you didn’t speak Arabic or Spanish, you didn’t know what was going on.
Another was operated by an old Saudi who spoke little English but had a good ol’ Nashville girl from the hood to front for him. She was covered in the garb from head to toe. Only eyes and fingertips were exposed to view. We got along pretty well, and she answered all the questions I axed.
The father of the man (who was named Carlos Bledsoe...changed his name to Abdul Hakim Muhammad) blames the Muslims for brainwashing his son.
CAIR seems very active down there as well.
yea, That dad was none to happy with “The Brotherhood”
The mosque in Murfreesboro is designed to expand their base and turn Rutherford County into a liberal cesspool as Davidson has become rather quickly. South Nashville is a no-zone for whitey.
Interesting. I’ll be watching this story closely from now on.
The Muslims understand the moonbat liberal is their ticket to ride until they have control.

We should all ask our state senators for a Sharia ban in our individual states. We certainly can’t trust the Fed. Govt..
Thanks for the video, and it IS happening here:

Amen! Any “religion” that preaches the murder and abuse of members of other religions is not a religion at all. It is a violent cult. And what about the rights of women? Under sharia a woman who has been raped has to have four male Muslim witnesses in order to prove that she was raped. Of course, if she cannot provide those four male witnesses, then she will be charged with adultery. Talk about a catch twenty two. The whole system is misognist and vile.
What about the civil rights of women? What about that Mr. Esposito? What is it about Islam that so entrances you? Did you always want to have your own harem? Do you secretly want to live in a society where women “know their place”?
How about this for enlightened tolerance Mr. Esposito? Hena — a fourteen year old Bengladeshi girl rape victim died after 70 lashes after being accused of adultery. This young girl was attacked by Mahbub Khan, a married man, who grabbed her and forced her behind nearby shrubbery where he raped her. Th local imam pronounced his fatwa against Hena. She was to be given 101 lashes. The rapist was to be given 201. But the rapist managed to escape after just a few lashes— what a surprise.
This fatwa was pronounced by a saintly, respected Islamic clergyman of the community. You can’t get more mainstream Muslim than that. He wasn’t an Al Qaeda terrorist living in the tribal areas of Pakistan. He was just part of mainstream Islam.
