A national furor over Islam has touched down in the heart of North Texas, where Irving’s mayor has accused mosque leaders of creating separate laws for Muslims, and requested a City Council vote this evening to endorse a state bill that Muslims say targets their faith.
The dispute has made Mayor Beth Van Duyne a hero among a fringe movement that believes Muslims — a tiny fraction of the U.S. population — are plotting to take over American culture and courts.
“It fuels anti-Islamic hysteria,” said Zia Sheikh, the Islamic Center of Irving’s imam.
“Her whole point was to rile up her supporters. ... People are trying to galvanize their base. The problem is we become the whipping boys.”

Hey muzzies, we have our laws, well established long before you polluted our society.
Live with them or leave.
Read the Koran. They are really called on to take over not just the United States but the entire world. For warned is for armed.
And yet we have Democrats that want to use international law to make judicial decisions in the US.
This sounds like a fine start to me to close the barn door now. Of course there will always be those with their head firmly implanted up their ass
Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.
Every muslim is obligated by his faith to seek global submission to Islam.
Islam is submission.
Submit, convert or die.
Supreme Court justices have quoted foreign laws and foreign authorities in their decisions since the beginning of the court. It's never been the sole, or even primary, support for their decision but it's been there.
This sounds like a fine start to me to close the barn door now.
Looks like you're closing the barn door when there are no animals inside to escape.
Of course there will always be those with their head firmly implanted up their ass.
I couldn't agree more.
I am astonished——a Republican with a backbone !!!
They must be seething with anger in the editorial rooms of the Dallas Morning Asswipe.
That is, well, strange behavior for this type. With the camel shortage in this country usually young boys are the target of creeps like this.
Hmmm...we have lots of llamas in the area. Perhaps that explains the attraction.
Really? I had no idea the Supreme Court had quoted foreign law as precedent since its inception.
If you could quote the first case, I’d be much obliged.
It should not be surprising that the Supreme Court might quote British Common Law at the founding of this nation because what else would they have to cite as precedent? But the practice has continued to this day, so instead of the first case I'll give you two more recent quotes from Justice Scalia, certainly no Democrat.
This is Justice Scalia dissenting in Thompson v. Oklahoma:
"The practices of other nations, particularly other democracies, can be relevant to determining whether a practice uniform among our people is not merely an historical accident, but rather so 'implicit in the concept of ordered liberty' that it occupies a place not merely in our mores but, text permitting, in our Constitution as well. See Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319, 325 (1937) (Cardozo, J.)."
Here is Justice Scalia again dissenting in Mcintyre v. Ohio Election Commission:
"We might also add to the list on the other side the legislatures of foreign democracies: Australia, Canada, and England, for example, all have prohibitions upon anonymous campaigning. See, e.g., Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, §328 (Australia); Canada Elections Act, R.S.C., ch. E-2, §261 (1985); Representation of the People Act, 1983, §110 (England)."
We don’t want to be Dearborn!!! They are supposed to come to this county, assimilate and be American.
You got a problem with that? GO back to your rock in a 3rd world county and RUIN IT! or is that what you came here to escape.
NO Sharia! NO “international” law!
Thank God for this lady mayor. Prayers for her and her family.
There is a movement to implement sharia law, inch by inch, in Texas. That is a fact.
