Score one for Freedom of Religion.
A federal appeals court upheld a Nov. injunction against the so-called OK sharia ban. A huge reason for the appeals to finding this ban unconstitutional is that it could have nullified wills and legal contracts among American Muslims which often reference Islamic law in the documents.
Time to go gun shopping.
Why would you think gun shopping would be necessary? There have been millions of Muslims in the US for years--living peacefully and largely unnoticed until 9/11. They don't want Sharia Law to replace our legal system, they just want to be left in peace to worship their god however they chose. And here I thought this was a free country where people could actually do that.
And how do you know? Do you know those people? Speak their language?
You could be walking behind them in the Mall and all of a sudden it's "Allah akbar!" and "KA-BOOM!"
Next thing you know *you're* one of the "72 virgins" and some guy with no arms and one eye with smoke coming off of him is chasing you around with a hardon! Then *you're* yelling "Allah akbar" and wishing you could get your hands around the neck of any politician who voted to let the savages in.
And forget the the big shoe sale at Sears!
You never know when they're going to go off!
I don't understand how our govt. thinks they can "tell" us that we have to live with them. Ted Kennedy did that too but look where he lived!
That is one of the most hateful, ignorant, close-minded comments I've read in a long time. This country was founded on Freedom of Religion. See my thread further down on the 5 Founding Fathers who would be unelectable today were they to run for the GOP nomination. All but one of them, Thomas Paine, was elected president. And all of them had some scathing things to say about the Christian religion.

For instance, in a 1790 letter to Touro Synagogue, Washington assured American Jews that they will enjoy religious liberty, not mere tolerance in a Christian nation. This is quoted from the letter: "For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection, should demean themselves as good citizens.”
Showing bigotry to any group of people because of the actions of a few, because of their religious beliefs, their skin color, sexual orientation or whatever comes only from an ignorant mind.
eireangel, is that the oldest synagogue in the country, in Newport, R. I.? I've seen that when I was in the Navy. Nice building.
No-one has a problem with Jewish people, they're pretty cool. They haven't smashed any airplanes into buildings in,.....oh, a dog's age I recon.
And their M.D.'s don't join the Army and kill a bunch of people down in Fort Hood like,...ahem,...
And last I checked, no Jewish person has lit their hairy testicles on fire trying to blow up an airliner right?
You must be aware that *anyone* or any group of people can call themselves, "a religion" right?
Look at the Westboro Baptist Church, they're their own "religion."
How come so many "religions" hate other religions? More wars have been fought over "religion" than anything else in human history.
How about the nazis? One could argue that they were a "religion" too with all that "thousand year" crap and mumbo jumbo about the holy grail. The nazis were started by Hitler. And "islam" started by a sicko child molestor.
What if someone wanted to start, "The Church of Rape", you cool with that?
And what about the KKK, they're always quoting the bible and burning giant crosses, aren't they a "religion" too? They are if they fill out the proper paperwork.
I don't want anything to do with those groups. Or the Westboro Baptist "church." I don't have to "respect" any of them or....any religion if I choose not to. It's a free country, right?
Nice, I'm "hatefull", "ignorant" and "closed minded" because I have a differant opinion than you? (Oh, I forgot "disgusting.")
It sounds like you're bigoted against people who don't agree with your way of thinking.
