Does they advocate stoning?
Now Sharia advocates have the key to the white house, that bother me more.

There are degrees to everything. Sure, Evangelicals can be a pain in the arse but give me a break, I would rather be a Muslim living in rural Kentucky than a Christian living in rural Pakistan. I mean seriously, you can't even compare the two. I'm not saying Evangelicals aren't without problems of their own but to pretend they are exactly the same is ridiculous.

(Obama is not anywhere near extreme anything, and neither was Bush or McCain......Chaney on the other hand, was and still is, and Palin, hopefully we will never get the chance to find out)

If our banking system would have followed anything close to Sharia banking, there would not have been a banking crisis and Wall Street would not have needed to be bailed out).

I heard a lecture given by an Arabic speaking reading and writing Arab woman. ( Nonie Darwish)

She said Sharia laws are being translated to English while removing "white washing" all the extreme parts.

She used actual examples from what the White House Sharia expert is saying, and what is actually written in the text in Arabic.

What do you know about Sharia Finance?

Do any of these people you mention advocates stoning?

What are you basing your fear of their "extremist" view?If you have nothing to back them up they just a phobia with nothing in reality.

This is punishment for alleged adultery, the confession for which came as a result of torture and language barrier.

Is this punishment going to be carried out because Iran's government is Islamic or because Iran's government is a bunch of crazy @ssho!es?

Yes, and yes.

Grow up...it's an effed up world. If we hadn't installed a dictator friendly to the US, the Soviets would have installed one hostile to us. Communists don't give a rat's @ss about your ideology.

Name the nation that has had the military might to to what they wanted and didn't take preemptive steps to reduce their enemy's abilities.

Why single out Iran? Do you really believe some of our 'great' trade partners like Saudi Arabia, China, etc. are showplaces of human rights? Why attempt to demonize our enemies when many of our so-called 'friends' are eaually guilty? The true America haters are those who refuse to take their blinders off and face reality.
