>>>>>>>> Yes there are cases where one or two people protested against unvailing of women. It will not be too hard to find similar cases in every religious communities of the USA. There is a HUGE difference between America and Nazi Germany. People have the right to "Protest" if something seem unfair to them. There are matured processes to take care of those "Concern". Child custody cases are emotional cases and people go to abnormal lengths to keep their kids. I don't think this is unique to Muslim Americans but pretty much same EVERYWHERE. Maybe a little unbiased/dispassionate observation will be helpful to get the real picture. I am not "Acting". I know about this subject and know a lot of American Muslims. So there is a good chance my comments are closest to reality than "Ground zero mosque" crown or hyper-active "Sharia law" crowd. People in Kansas have better chance to lose their homes to tornadoes than losing their laws to Sharia!!
>>>>>>>>> There is NO better example (Abortion was used as an example) than abortion to show the hypocricy of this anti-Sharia crowd. Role of government is a huge deal with hyper-patriotic crowd but they WANT government to decide very personal matters. All dictated by their political-religious point of view. US laws or constitution have LITTLE to do with it. With due respect, NO ONE support random abortion. Specifically Muslim views on abortion is very close to how most Christians feel about it. But I used the topic as an example to explain the biases of anti-Muslim groups.
>>>>>>>> That is exactly what American Muslims are doing. Dealing with it. Because if we visit how founding fathers of USA viewed this we see they said....
Sharia is just a political excuse to use this community as "Punching bag". Japanese, Irish, Jews, African-Americans have been targeted this way. At the end American Muslims will try to preserve their rights and dignity. Maybe on this sepcial day, the anti-Islam crowd should reflect their own history a bit. I am sure American story will guide them to the "Proper course". There is much more important and urgent challenges than "Imaginary Sharia" laws. Maybe the should focus on them. Topics like education, debts, health care, Social security, medicare will become "Crisis" much sooner than "Imaginary foreign laws". Happy 4th to all. |

Not yet. Prior to 1928 the Nazi Partry was not able to put a local gov't anywhere in the world>
A decoy organization for what organization and for what "excuse"? May it is decoy organization for the Tea Party to have an excuse to pass Islamophobic-Anti-Sharia laws?
Just like the Nazi Party in Germany before 1928.
But you have heard of such Muslim Organizations that are in North America NOW!
Like the Islamophobic-Ant-Islamic-Muslim law that is being disccussed in Kansas?
Not only have Muslim-American communities all over the USA worked closely(snitched and informed on) with with law enforcement offices (FBI, CIA etc) to identify potential dangers, but they are also serving in the U.S. Military, serving in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan. Killing innocent Muslim Afghanis, Iraqis, Pakistanis and maybe in the future Iranians and Syrians.
I will agree that these are idoitic sets of laws. I would disagree that "no one wanted them" Karl Rove and the increasing mainstream(idoitic?)tea partiers want them.
They individual freedom to have a guns is according to them Constitutional. It does not violate the rights of another person to "own" a gun. However according to them there is no individual freedom to murder a baby(aborition) it viloates the right to life of the baby.
The feel that the government should protect an innocent unborn baby from being murdered by the mother and her serial killer doctor.
Neither Jesus or Muhammad were pacificts. Both Muslims and Christians have gone to war to support the initiatives of the U.S. government in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. So I would agree that it would not be a good idea to piss off American-Muslim because we will need them if we want them to support future initiatives(stealing oil-killing innocent Muslim men, women and children)in Iran and Syria. Some get really pissed off an go all Major Hassan on the military.
The Tea Party while primiarly Conservative Christian also has Conservative Jews and even unfortunately Atheist. Then you have a small minority of "Utra-" Conservative Christians. The Tea Party is to the U.S. as the Muslim Brotherhood is to Egypt-Tunisa-Yemen or HAMAS is to Palestine or Hizbollah to Lebbanon.
The Constitution does allow the us to change-amend the Constitution. Sometimes the for the good and sometimes for the bad. For instance the 18th amendment banning the sale, making and distribution of alchohol was...a disaster. Well intentioned, but a disaster. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighteenth_Amendme... Since the Constitution was not..divinely inspired or revealed like the Bible or the Quran it could and was "changed-repealed" by the 21st Amendment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-first_Amend... I don't think that either the amendments in either the Bible or Quran can be "changed-repealed". They could be re-interpretaded but not "repealed." The problem with the Bible, the Quran, and the U.S. Constitution is that they don't tell us "how" to "interprete" them. The Tea "Party" is not really a "Party" but a "movement" within the Republican Party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement
When it comes to food you cannot pass a law that forbids people from making or eating a ham and cheese sandwhich, which to the Kosher Pureist is...not Kosher. Nor can you pass a law that forbids the eating of pork, which to all Muslims, pureist and moderates against Islamic-Halal Law.
Or even 50 years down the road. I don't think you can amend the Constitution to allow for either Kosher or Sharia Law. It would violate the Bill of Rights.
Happily the Constitution is designed to protect us from all wingnuts. Wether they are Christian wingnuts, Jewish wingnuts or the wingnuttest of them all Atheist wingnuts.
But his "scare tactics" failed to get more votes for John Mc Cain.
I would agree that that both "scare tactics" came from the Republican Party but I am pretty sure that Karl Rove is not part of the "Tea Party movement.
Inshallah-As Jesus Wills It.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard was not what I meant...

>>>>>>>> You got this one wrong. I was talking about Bush Jr against McCain. I used to like John McCain a lot. Rove was working with "Dubya" when he ran for office. By the time McCain had to face Obama, the economy was so bad that, Americans had to come back to their senses. Scare tactic did little to hold them back from voting for Obama. Among republican leaders John McCain is a better choice (Personal opinion). He served his country when he was young and tried to do the "Right thing" most of the time.
>>>>>> Tea party is a different sort of movement. I feel it is supported by least informed voters who are often abused by political leaders by "Cheap talking points" and "High drama". The great thing about "American institution" is it allows people to be different and still have all rights to them. So I am glad for tea party supporters and their contributions towards next Obama administration. ;-)
Wish you have a blessed day!

Freedom to practice religion under the 1st amendment does not extend to violating laws. You may not, for example, have sex with underaged kids (ask the pseudo-Mormons in west Texas) or commit human sacrifices. And the same amendment forbids mixing the US government system and religion, which is part of what befuddles me about so many liberals being for allowing Sharia in the court system while wailing and moaning about a manger scene at Christmas on a courthouse lawn.
Nobody is suggesting limiting their private religious practices. If you are going to participate in a discussion, LEARN what the discussion is about. All that is being done by this law is preventing Sharia AND other foreign cultural laws and customs from being used as a basis for COURT decisions. |

So what? This isn't sbout odds. It is about choosiing to prevent beforehand an activity they do not want. The tornado scenario might be correct NOW. It may not be correct 10-20 yrs from now. Nobody really saw the Muslims becoming such an issue in Europe until it was already happening. I would not want you as my representative or my police or fire chief. Your stance seems to be, "don't deal with issues until they have become big problems". The Sharia issue is dealt with for now AND in the future in Kansas, provided it passes Constitutional muster
Actually abortion has no relevance at all to a discussion of a law in Kansas about Sharia.
Another document called the Constitution forbids mixing government and religions. Yet you complain about a law being passed that prevents just this thing.
That should not prove too difficult, since no rights have been taken from Muslims in this law, and you say that the Muslims don't want what the law forbids, so no dignity should be harmed either.
You act as if the state of Kansas can only pass one law a year, and this year they wasted it on Sharia. You DO know they can do this AND still deal with the other issues, right? |

Rove was a Republican, he was working for the Republicans to get Mc Cain elected. The Republicans-Mc Cain used "scare tactics" against Obama. The Tea Party Republicans used "scare tactics" when Mc Cain was running against Obama. One of the "scariest" tactics the the Tea Party used against Obama to get Mc Cain elected was to say Obama was "secretly-really" a Muslim!
