ORIGINAL: pahunkboy It is more of a NIMBY thing. I dont want Sharia law here. We have enough trouble. You could add a laundry list of things I dont want on my block- screaming kids, barking dogs, litter bugs, tires laying in the yard, cars with loud stereos. Punks who do not pull up their pants. I really don't think Sharia law will come to the US, perhaps there are people that would like that and with them, their counterpart might want the US to be more religious, but again, I really don't think that will happen, at least in your life time, so give the minorities a break, live and let live, that is all it takes. Now of course live and let live cannot happen in all countries and certainly not some Muslim countries, but the US is not Muslim and probably stands no chance of being that, despite how many Muslims live in the US. You see, the problem is religious fundamentalism, a minority adherence, but would you accept there are those who are Muslim that don't want to be a pain in the ass to everyone else, but the fundies as ever ruin it for everyone else. Don't tar all Muslims with the fundie brush, as the Christian fundies are also against homosexuality, so whilst you may seek to rid the Moslem, the fundie Christian belief is just as much a danger.
