I'm not so sure about that. There are many Islamic communities that want Sharia law. That is NOT assimilation.

I'll ask again ' name one naton where islam rules and the people are not in fear or submission ,either pay tax to be infidel or worse . We don't want that here .
Look from Nigeria, up. List all the countries there where the majority of the people are in fear and proof of that. It'll take time...but I'll wait patiently.

Wanting it and having it are two different things. Two questions just out of curiosity though. Why is Sharia law a bad thing? And where is it CURRENTLY in the process of being passed? Facts please. From reputable sources.

do you know when these were created? I believe that many sites were created only after people started complaining that muslums weren't condemning the acts.
Why is it relevant when sites were created? Someone speaking out against something is someone speaking out against something. Are you saying that you disregard any statements made after a certain point in time?

Are you saying people can't complain about Muslims not condemning the acts (most of those people being highly ill-informed) while they condemn them. Just because people choose not to inform themselves on the fact that Muslims speak out against these things doesn't mean they don't.

See post 107.

You can't be serious. I guess you don't know how to Google. I'll go get that for you.

Who actually did the killing? And that would be a few Muslim extremists. It's a weak argument at best to condemn all Muslims for the actions of a few extremists. That's like condemning all Christians for the actions of the Westboro Baptists.

Muslims Condemn Terrorist Attacks
I posted that earlier today. D'you think those who thrive on hatred are going to read it now that it's been posted twice?

There's a reason I feel so strongly about hating an entire group because of what a few have done.

I worked in the WTC for 19 years. We had (and still have) representatives of every type of person from many nations and religions and races and whatever working together in the office. We have more in common than we don't have in common.

Then one day a small group plotted and executed an attack on this place precisely because they believed in a perception of us as some kind of evil beings. Most of us survived. Many of us did not. The irony that a place where so many different people worked and got along and laughed and cried together was destroyed by the exact opposite type of thinking seems to have been lost in all the noise.

I do not want to and will not become like those individuals who carried out the murder of 84 of my coworkers, and that is precisely what the type of "THEY" thinking demonstrated on this and other posts will lead to.

Don't forget to add where its CURRENTLY trying to be passed. And don't give me that BS that I don't know how to use google, I have posted so many links already in this thread because you guys refuse to do ANY research before you post ANYTHING it isn't even funny so you have absolutely no room to talk.
