I also detest right wing scaremongering that mispresents the law and the nature of how foreign law is used in our courts.
It's called reality. The Brits felt the same way. Look at em now. Many sharia zones have been established that operate outside of british law. Who woulda thunk it.

and that's the fault of the British for having a government that isn't wholly dependent on freedoms to which illegal laws could be passed.
We have the US Constitution. You should read it some time.
Not scared in the least. The closest thing I've heard of Sharia law in the US is the bible belt. I have no intention of going to the bible belt in the next 50-60 years.
You don't know about those cities in Michigan where Sharia has been allowed to do so much? Oh yes you do you just don't want to admit that it is the Upper US where this is coming to fruition and this is too near your home.
I guess being an atheist it is easy to worry about the Bible belt. Huh?
Wouldn't it be nice if both extremist groups went gently into that good night?
If dominionist Christian groups had their way (Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin), this whole planet would be under strict Christian law. At the very least you would be re-educated if you were a homosexual, amongst other things. Extremist Muslims and extremist Christians basically want the same thing; worldwide order, under their god's rules. Do we really want to defend either side? The lesser of two evils? Is there no better path?
How is it that Muslims deal with homosexuals in Iran? Oh yeah, they stone them to death. I think that our American homosexuals may well want to look closely at Shariah and how it could be a detriment for their lives.

So you'll just sit back and blame the US government when it happens right? No I think Obama should read the US Constitution. His violations of that said document give me no reason to trust our government to do the right thing. You continue thinking they have your best interests at heart though if that makes you feel better.
The US Constitution, is a very powerful document. Unlike any other.
It is what keeps them from turning us into what they wish, on a whim.
I wish I could agree with you about the power of the Constitution, but I am seeing too much in the way of changing the meaning of the document without any official actions.

I thni its unlike to be where this happens really but then what you thoink this means isn't accurate either.Remmeebr this is happenig in europe not the US and its highly secular in its beliefs. but it;s also highly defenseless against it.
Well, don't leave us hanging. What did you "hear" about the application of Sharia in the Bible belt?
Who did you hear it from? Someone reliable?
I could see a more sympathetic attitude towards Sharia in the more Progressive states due to thier strong committment to diversity and non-judgementalism.
But in the Bible belt, of all places?
I don't think that old Savoir realizes that Oklahoma is still considered part of the Bible belt and their recent laws concerning Shariah.
I hope you're not implying that recent Republican Presidents have had any more respect for the Constitution.
What you are saying, I think, is By God if they could do it the present one can also do it. In other words your boys set the precedent and we will continue to violate the document since get evens are to be used in law.
