1. "The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has just put out an Action Alert that takes direct aim at the Constitution of the United States.
2. At issue is the Michigan state legislatures House Bill No. 4769, which looks likely to pass in coming days. Quite simply, that bill states that no foreign law may take precedence over American law or Michigan state law in a Michigan court room.
a. The key provision of the bill is Section 2, which says:
A court, arbitrator, administrative agency, or other adjudicative, mediation, or enforcement authority shall not enforce a foreign law if doing so would violate a right guaranteed by the constitution of this state or of the United States.
3. So why would CAIR call on its members to oppose legislation that protects all American citizens, upholds the U.S. Constitution and in no way interferes with the right of any individual to freely exercise his or her religion as guaranteed by the First Amendment?
4. CAIR (a Muslim Brotherhood front group) points to the answer in its own words. Its Action Alert decries discrimination on followers of a minority faith and terms the legislation anti-Islam, even though there is no mention of Islam or any other faith in the bill.....in what way is such legislation anti-Islam?
5. It would seem that CAIR is saying that Islam is not just a religion, but ...Islam is also a complete way of life, encompassing a legal, military, political, and social system. The name of that complete way of life is sharia (Islamic law), which governs every aspect of a Muslims life and actually forbids a separation between faith and governance.
6. ...sharia-adherent Muslims cannot accept that sharia provisions that conflict with U.S. law be superseded by Constitutional law in American courts is precisely the notion that Islamic law must dominate all other laws on earth in every respect.
7. ...elements of sharia that are utterly antithetical to the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
8. ...mandates legal inequality between Muslims and non-Muslims, and between men and women. Sharia also imposes barbaric, mutilating punishments for theft, flogging for fornication and the death penalty for adultery, apostasy, homosexuality and, in some cases, slander/blasphemy.
9. ...a careful reading of Michigans House Bill No. 4769 will confirm, this legislation actually provides assurance that American Muslim families are afforded the same constitutional protections and liberties as other Americans.
10. Muslim Americans, many of whom came to the U.S. to escape the oppressive rule of sharia in their home nations, are no less deserving of the protections of American law than other Americans born into the privilege of living in a free country where faith and state are kept separated by law."

Although Christianity in its many varieties was the religion of the original colonies, Christianity does not preach operational dominance over the body politic in America. Tocqueville compared this aspect to Islam: Mohammed professed to derive from Heaven, and has inserted in the Koran, not only religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The Gospel, on the contrary, speaks only of the general relations of men to God and to each other, beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone, besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, while the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods. Tocqueville, Democracy in America, vol.2, p. 23.
