interesting. i'll have to do some research into this.i can't think of too many other religions that have their own laws to compare that too.how does telling them we will not allow Muslim Laws equate to telling them they are not American? If anything it should reinforce the fact we *are* in America and to be American you will follow our laws.well i won't go too deep into arguing against your points cause i've been slammed at work and not able to do the research i like to do.
so that brings me to a simple question - if shaira law is not being pushed for here in the US by muslims, and Texas as well as other states are doing PR type moves to say "NOT HERE" (and this could well be that) does it hurt anything? i mean, they're not going to push for it anyway, right?
Does it hurt anything? It's a waste of time, for one (don't they have more important things to legislate?) and it sends a message to the Muslim community: "you aren't really American".
as for wasting time - most gov is a waste really so add on.
It selectively targets ONE religion, it shows an ignorance of what Sharia is - for example, following halal is Sharia, so is giving to charity. It doesn't "reinforce" anything but that the targeted group is singled out for special treatment for a law that is unnecessary other than singling out a group.
if catholics are trying trying to live under catholic law, stop that too. i'm cool with that.
Judaism does.
In fact, a number of religious groups use religious law in voluntary arbritation to settle civil manners, which is the only certain aspects of Sharia are utilized - family law such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and business transactions such as mortgages.
