      <![CDATA[Protestant Sharia: laws against abortion, marijuana and other drugs, legal discriminations against non-heterosexuals, laws limiting/prohibiting alcohol sales, limits on public welfare (see Max Weber for quotes on how Protestant theology reinforces that one!), movement for prayer and Bible classes in public schools, discouraging the teaching of sexuality and birth control in public schools, attempts to limit unmarried individuals' access to birth control and other anti-sexual attitudes and legal restraints (not talking men and goats or underage here, tho if somebody really wants to do a goat that's their problem; if somebody really wants to do someone underage, hey, until recently in this heavily Protestant country it was legal to bed a 13-year old as long as you got married first--oh yeah, "miscegination" laws were born from Protestant minds, for the most part....hmm, what else?<br>
<br>
When I was a kid there were "blue laws" that prohibited stores from being open on Sundays, the Christian sabbath...in a way I miss that, it was kinda nice to have a recognized non-commercial day of the week (tho I was brought up Jewish!). But, in modern America, it's commerce, commerce, uber alles!<br>
<br>
This brief product of a few minutes' brainstorming is just intended to point out that what makes Sharia scary to people is that it's somebody else's church's rules, not theirs.

It is already being enforced by the cops. Incidentally they were found not guilty after being carted off to jail and being tried for "disturbing the peace."

      <![CDATA[I'm pretty sure most religious scriptures have some obscenely ridiculous suggestions:<br>
Exodus 31:13-15 <br>
Six days my work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. <br>

Fanaticism is not exclusive to Islam...

I found it kind of weird, since some parts are so intimately familiar to anyone raised Jewish or Christian and other parts are very different.

      <![CDATA[Imagine if you could an author that had a clue about the subject she wrote about.<br>
imagine if she actually read a Koran<br>
imagine if she listened when cair director publicly stated that islam was in america not to be another religion but to be the only religion, and sharia the highest authority.<br>
<br>
gee, we might have to accuse the media for having a brain and doing research then

      <![CDATA["Just to put this in more familiar terms, imagine, if you will, that someone wanted to impose Christian law on the citizens of Tennessee — something completely ridiculous like, say, oh, I don't know, denying everyone in the state the ability to buy beer before noon on Sundays, whether or not they were Christian. Oh, I know, it's hard to even imagine."<br>
<br>
Classic.

      <![CDATA[Frank Gaffney is a Neocon nutbag who ended up being too crazy even for Karl Rove. His greatest hits include such wachadoodle conspiracy theories as birtherism, the Missile Defense Agency's redesigned logo signalling Obama's submission to Islam (the logo was redesigned during George W Bush's term), and hard-right conservative anti-tax activist Grover Norquist having ties radical Islamist groups.
