Islamic Law Trumps Constitution

[Jay]

I have lost count of the number of Moslems charged for murder due to honor killings here in the U.S. Further, there have been more than one incident of them mistreating people who walk into predominately Moslem communities and advocate another religion. This has been a major problem in the Detroit area.

So how many hours of NPR do you listen to a day? Or PMSNBC?

That ignores that Muslims do in fact come from a different culture, where even a very moderate interpretation of Islam would have this be a grave offense. However, I've been all through the Mideast and your characterization is just not true. The man was most likely telling the truth, and honestly didn't envision it not being illegal.

That a society would have issues mixing cultures like this is not in doubt. Prolly God's way of burning your religion off you. It's easy to see the lines being drawn tho, so it seems almost useless to reiterate that most Muslims are wonderful peaceful people, if seemingly more zealous for God.

NPR none, but I like it when I catch it.

Not all muslims are suicide terrorists,
but all suicide terrorists are muslims.

That is unfair because that is what they are IDing themselves as, when Allah would say He does not know them. A Muslim cannot possibly get past the first page of his Holy Book and justify violence; or for that matter anyone else.

If you decide that Islam is your enemy, rather than the re-imposition of Law over Grace, you will play right into satan's hand.

At least understand that prolly ALL of your characterizations of Muslims are coming to you straight from Fox News, ok? Personally, I think the "atheists" brother should have been the one administering the whipping, but that's really beside the point, as is this rogue judge, who will no doubt be overturned.

What are you saying when you used the words, " admit that YOUR CONSTITUTION ? Is it not your also??

It is known by its fruit. Not sure if the "In God we trust" part is in there or not. If it is, why do we even have an Islamic judge? And if it isn't, that is worse. It is not my guiding document, no; and I'm not too impressed with its handling by its supposed guardians. The Bible tells me that satan is the acting CEO of every earthly Gov, no matter how benign, so I'm not losing too much sleep there.

I am an American, Austin, and I love my country. I must admit, tho, possibly since we only spent about 15 minutes on it when I was in school, and I don't even think they bring it up anymore period, that I have never felt very connected to it. It seems to delineate a bunch of freedoms that have mostly been taken away from us now? I am a Christian first, and I already have a perfect document.

Yeah, this is not cool. Hopefully this judge is either reprimanded or excused from his position. I don't want any judge usurping our civil laws with their particular religious laws.

Radicalism leading to violence is a problem that is being characterized as religious for a very good reason. See that this is actually anti-religion. Any radicalism, even undue distortion toward a favored doctrine, just erects a wall.

Lets put this back on the front page. Some feel this cant happen. Its already started.

[AreYouReady?]

Where are our "Christian leaders" who love to speak out about other things? If it were a Judge citing Christian values, the verdict would have been thrown out of court in a split second.
