Irving City Council backs state bill Muslims say targets them
Actually, it has already begun. Because you choose to be blind to it, does mean it isn't happening. So, why his refusal? First, they say it is only arbitration, but when threatened with a law to keep them from holding court, rather than just arbitration, he refuses to back a bill assuring that.
“I was responding to rumors about a Shariah court in Irving,” Van Duyne said. “My response was to answer questions brought up by a number of my constituents.”
The mayor finally met Muslim leaders late last month. Van Duyne brought Texas House members Rodney Anderson, R-Grand Prairie, and Matt Rinaldi, R-Irving, with her.
The mayor said Sheikh asked for an apology and retraction of her Facebook post. Sheikh said he simply “asked her to clarify a statement … which seemed very Islamophobic.”
“She flat-out refused,” he said. “She said, ‘My statement wasn’t inflammatory in any way, shape or form.’”
Rinaldi then asked the imam to support American Laws for American Courts.
“He said, ‘If you support this bill, it will ease a lot of tensions [and assure people] you are not here to change the system. You’re not here to change the constitution,’” Sheikh said.
But it was the imam’s turn to refuse. “We don’t care about the bill,” Sheikh said. “It’s not going to affect us in any way, shape or form. The bottom line is the foundation of this bill is anti-Islamic.”
"This is complete and unmitigated hateful and paranoid bovine excrement. As the article itself points out, Catholics and Jews do the same thing. When the fuck has a municipal or state judge ruled on or even considered Sharia law? Muslims like everyone one else must still follow US law." Progressive Patriot
'Moderate' Muslims would patrol the neighborhoods and enforce these Sharia laws......this is not assimilation because many of the Sharia laws go against our American freedoms.....this would be essentially establishing a separate country within the U.S...... complete with separate Muslim laws and rules enforced by their own people and their shariah courts......it's the Muslim way....Muslims place the Koran above the U.S. Constitution.....as well as any other country's laws that are not shariah-compliant....
This is just another useless, inane thread that serves no other purpose than to incite fear of Muslims.
It is idiotic to think that anyone would want or tolerate this, including most Muslims in America.
It is even more idiotic to think than it can happen. You have heard of the first amendment? Right?
Why don't you start a topic about how certain Christians in America-including a number of Presidential candidates -want to impose biblical law and place the bible above the Constitution? That is what scares the shit out of me.
