YWC still stands against Sharia law

[delldude]

It's not something that keeps me up at night. This is just another example of paranoid minds run amoke.

You know how you eat an elephant?


Did you hear that? :unsure:

I beleive it was Ms Tree who said if it happens then we really don't deserve to live here. Or something to that affect.

Lets look at the facts as they now stand. Muslims are not the majority in this country, kind of hard for a minority to enforce their religous laws on a majority that would not want it. Especially in a democracy. That's assuming of course that is their goal. There's a sizable Iranian-American community in southern California. I'm going to guess they are there because they don't want to live under Sharia law.

Only about 1/3 of the settlers favored independence in 1776 and we see how that turned out.

Are there any examples of minorities who were not able to exert their rights/dominance over the majority?

Current Muslim population in the US is between 1.3 - 2.7 million. Let's go with the higher population. That is still less than 1% of the US population. That would be 32% less than the 33% who did not want to be independent. Do you have a better example where the math might even come close to adding up?

Short of the top 1% in the US who have the financial and political power to enforce their will on the people, I do not see the 1% of Muslims holding that same amount of power.

I'm not that worried today as the numbers are small. Small but growing. Perhaps this time we will get ahead of the curve and be a bit more proactive as four states have already done. Those states have laws that prohibit judges from using foreign legal doctrine in their courts. This gets rid of honor killings and other cultural practices from far and not so far lands. It maintains our culture and preserves their Liberties as defined by the country they choose to live in.

You have to consider the declining birthrate stat's in the US and the world.
Its quite alarming, and beyond repair.
White and Latino birthrates are around 1.6 and 2.11 while Muslim is as high as 8.1

Your are so right. It's a very good thing that the four states have prohibitions on Sharia being used in courts. The dismissals of honor killings was getting out of hand.

The honor Killings are just an example. It's far more reaching than that. ANY foreign legal concept including Judge Bader Ginsburg's love affair with the South African Constitution.

Hmmmm...a real indicator of how 'minority' Muslims are is to learn from Belgium, where Muhammed became the #1 baby boy names. Not happening here, unless you look at Muhammed, Mohummed, Mohammed, or the various ways the name is spelled to see who the real minority is 😛h34r:

Sharia Law has been used in business in the last few years. An example is that because Muslims can't be in debt according to their religion, lenders are applying Sharia 'loopholes' to allow Muslims to borrow and buy homes, cars, etc.

As far as honor killings, give it time and it will either be covered up or we'll be hearing about it every other week 🙄

Funny, I've seen several already here.... 😱

I guess sarcasm is lost on you. Was there an honor killing that was acquitted based on sharia law?

Love affair with SA? What on earth are you talking about?

Oh, you missed her dis' on the COTUS in Egypt?

From the New American

Justice Ginsburg Tells Egyptians: Don’t Model Government on U.S. Constitution

Alluding to the Constitution of her own nation, Ginsburg counseled her audience to do their best “to achieve the goals of this revolution and to continue to strive to create a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

This is from A Supreme Court Justice!! In several other articles the MORON is quoted as favoring the South African Constitution. Do try and follow along. You have an extra hour or 2 you don't spend in church read up. Do try to follow along.

 

[Ms Tree]

Oh stop being a condescending twerp. I know exactly what she said. And I knew the 'my chit does not stink' crowd would say something stupid and you did not disappoint.

She acknowledged that our COTUS is not perfect. We had slaves and that women did not have rights. She said that they should look at all constitutions for guidance but that the SA was one of the more recent ones written in current times. Seems reasonable to me.

The US COTUS is not for everyone. We are unique. I do not see our COTUS being used by Egypt or any other ME country
