		<description>By accident this morning, I came across Pat Robertson&#039;s show, which featured an interview with some Pastor who was describing the SPLC as &quot;one of the most dangerous elements in the country.&quot; I was stunned. It was in this context that I came to this blog. I worked in Carter&#039;s 1976 Campaign + knew Morris Dees very slightly. I&#039;m so happy to find you.</description>

		<description>Lucifer,

I&#039;m not having any trouble &quot;comprehending&quot; your position, I&#039;m just not buying it. Let&#039;s recap a couple of your comments:

&quot;... The Islamic religion and the Muslim people are the fastest growing race and religion around the world right now especially in Europe.&quot;

Several people, including me, pointed out the serious fallacy in that statement. You responded with:

&quot;DM, I guess that was a misstatement on my part , but I think you get the gist of my meaning.&quot;

I wouldn&#039;t call it a &quot;misstatement,&quot; I&#039;d call it a Freudian slip. The &quot;gist&quot; that I get is the underlying prejudice that equates Islam with &quot;other races&quot; that don&#039;t belong in &quot;our&quot; Europe — oh, sorry, I keep forgetting, you&#039;re an American. (And since I&#039;m revisiting this comment, I&#039;ll also point out that there&#039;s widespread disagreement on the question of which religion is the world&#039;s fastest-growing, in part because statistics on religious affiliation are notoriously unreliable.)

As for those links you posted, they aren&#039;t &quot;proof&quot; of anything except your anti-Muslim animus. Indeed, they suggest that you&#039;re more Geert Wilders&#039; advocate than the devil&#039;s. And you lose all credibility by lining up with the Christian Action Network, a crazily Christian-right group founded by one of Jerry Falwell&#039;s former associates. (There&#039;s a nice summary about their anti-Muslim campaign at http://www.talk2action.org/story/2010/8/26/122325/799.)

In short, propaganda is not evidence. So I&#039;m sticking with my assertion that all talk about the &quot;threat&quot; of shari&#039;a is fantasy, whether it&#039;s pure paranoia or part of a deliberate attempt to whip up anti-Muslim passions.</description>

		<description>No, they wouldn&#039;t.  Do you know what Sharia law is used for in Russia, for example? Outside of Chechnya it is primarily a way for a boyfriend-girlfriend couple to move in together without actually getting married.  Typically the young couple doesn&#039;t care, it&#039;s only for the benefit of their parents or grandparents(many of whom suddenly became religious in 1991).  The marriage isn&#039;t recognized by the state.  

Many who look favorably on Sharia law don&#039;t necessarily want it to be the law of the land; they would just like the option.  However as immigrants come to the west, they typically reject the traditions of their home countries.</description>

		<description>There has been no greater dissembling of the Constitution in our country than that which has been done by right wing radical Christians who are far and away the greatest threat to human rights and liberties that we face today.  Evangelicals are the true terrorists and extremists of our time.</description>

		<description>Lucifer,

Some people would also prefer it to rain soda pop and snow chocolate flakes.

But preference does not lead to reality.

Your circular logic is bordering on lunacy.</description>

Ruslan Amirkhanov , I am aware of that also . Not all Muslim people want to live under Sharia law anymore than people in the United States , but I&#039;m sure some would welcome the chance .</description>

		<description>Dick, the only evidence you have attempted to provide was easily debunked.  Now you are claiming to have evidence of these terrorist camps, including their location, and yet you are withholding this information from law enforcement for some reason.  

PLEASE, tell us: Why haven&#039;t you reported these camps to law enforcement?</description>

		<description>We call it &quot;creeping Sharia&quot; for a reason. The Constitution is only as good as the people elected to defend it. An oath of office is still taken to defend the Constitution but as you can see by the present Congress and administration, an oath is not taken seriously anymore. In order for an oath to carry any authority at all there has to be some sort of integrity to the oath-taker. The more we accomodate Islam, the more sharia you will see. 

Many useful idiots are aiding the radicals because they want to avoid the label of islamophobe. There is nothing courageous or moral about defending those who want to kill you. Radical Muslims are recruiting in our prisons and military. They have a conference in Chicago each year since 2008 to plan our overthrow. Militant training camps have been in the US for some time now and they operate with virtual immpunity lest the authorities be accused of discrimination. Look it up. I do all my &quot;proving&quot; in my articles. Look them up. This format is a commentary post. I regret that I cannot write major articles here but I would be wasting my research on a substantial number of closed minds.</description>

		<description>CM , you impression is as wrong as three fat women in a hot tub .  So yes , you&#039;re mistaken and no I won&#039;t pardon you . Maybe you can&#039;t comprehend what I&#039;m saying so let me break it down for you. 

Some people would love to have Sharia law installed into the legal system . I&#039;m simply saying to do so will have greater ramifications later down the road if they did . I also brought up the violation of civil rights if they did .
Go back and re-read what I said earlier &quot; I said let me play the devils advocate for a minute &quot; .

Do I think Sharia law will be brought into the American system , no I do not for many reasons one being what I have already said , and two being our elected are window licking idiots and can&#039;t handle the pressure .</description>

		<description>Lucifer,

I&#039;m getting the impression from your posts that English is not your first language. Pardon me if I&#039;m mistaken, but it would also suggest an explanation for why you seem unable to understand the U.S. legal system.

The imposition of shari&#039;a here would require not only the abrogation of the Constitution but also the abandonment of the whole federal and state courts system and the unemployment of all of the nation&#039;s judges and lawyers. (I know, some people would consider the latter a good thing, but let&#039;s stay serious here.) I don&#039;t know how many American judges you&#039;ve met, but they generally are people who take even less well than average to having other people usurp their decision-making prerogatives. So that&#039;s one more reason why the whole notion of shari&#039;a being imposed here is just paranoid fantasy.</description>

Lucifer,

Dick has absolutely zero credibility here. And since all he really does is make up stories, I think we’re safe.


Actually Dick brings up a valid point, The Islamic religion and the Muslim people are the fastest growing race and religion around the world right now especially in Europe. 
When a group grows in faith and population it&#039;s a fact that they are going to push for more. 

So Dick does make a valid point in that matter. Also a person cannot deny the increase in the “home grown &quot; activities going on here along with the influx of American foreign fighters now in Somalia shows a propensity.</description>

And so long as there are no threats, as I said before, there is nothing criminal.</description>

		<description>They can ‘plan’ to do whatever they want. So long as they don’t carry out anything, there’s nothing wrong. They’re words.

Really , how about that &quot; Patriot Act &#039; . And that little law thats used now called &quot; Making terrorist threats &quot; . A lot have been jailed under that for &quot; just words &quot; .

Speaking of &quot; just words &quot; how about the assasination of American citizens in Yemen for &quot; just words &#039; .</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t trust it , if it were to be allowed . I don&#039;t trust Congress or the president or anyone else to not allow it to override the Constitution . 

The Constitution is moot when the suits deem it so . Past and present presidents are proof of that . All of them have violated it in one form or another . 

Politicians are like children , you give them an inch and they&#039;ll take a foot .</description>

		<description>Frank Gafney, a Democrat, served in the Carter Administration. This conference is held to warn America of the growing threat of Islamic fundementalism in this country. It is already out of control in Britton and Europe in general has finally woken up and put some restrictions on their Muslim immigrants.

Since 2008 radical Muslims have met in Chicago to openly plan the destruction of the US. You don&#039;t hear about it because the media doesn&#039;t report it. Better to allow the planning of the destruction of the US than to rerport it and be called an &quot;Islamophobe.&quot; This is the mentality of a lefist media. 

And for the umpteenth time, there is NO separation of church and state in the constitution. That phrase came out of a Thomas Jefferson letter. The First Amendment intent was to prevent the ESTABLISHMENT of a state religion such as the Church of England or, in contemporary times, sharia law. This is PRECISELY what radical Islam REQUIRES.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know how many times you need to be told, but Sharia law will NEVER exist in America outside of unofficial courts which will be mostly for marriage purposes. No such ruling can override the US Constitution and statute.  These courts already exist in a number of non-Muslim countries and they have no official authority.</description>

		<description>While sitting and stoking my heater I started thinking . I see many opinions being aired here and frankly I&#039;m along the lines of &quot; No &quot; to Shariah Law in the  United States , and I have my reasons  . I&#039;ve also seen a few call others ignorant and such , so let me play &quot; the Devil&#039;s advocate &quot; here a minute .

What is the SPLC , ACLU , NAACO , SCLC , or any of the other &quot; Civil Rights &quot; organizations and other groups that &quot; keep a watchful eye on &quot; hate groups &quot; going to do when and if &quot; Shariah Law &quot; is allowed on our soil and the first  Muslim homosexual is dragged out into the street and stoned or beheaded . Or what is going to be done when the first &quot; honor killing &quot; has taken place because a young Muslim girl wanted to go to the prom with non-Muslim .  Or said Muslim girl gets pregnant out of marriage . And God forbid the wife gets jiggy with her boss while the husband is on a business trip .

Don&#039;t say it doesn&#039;t happen because it does . I&#039;ve been to a few Muslim countries that have &quot; Shariah law &quot; and it takes place . Once we have allowed it in , it&#039;s here to stay . 

Also , while we&#039;re on the topic of &quot; Civil Rights &quot; , will Muslims will have the opportunity to pick between the American justice system or Shariah law .The typical non-Muslim American citizen will not have that liberty , so is that fair , I wouldn&#039;t think so . Has anyone advocating for this considered that . 

I stated earlier that our leaders can&#039;t even enforce the laws we already have , and pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they like . Adding more to it is just going to be more infringement on our rights as citizens . 

So my vote is &#039; hells to the no , leave Shariah law where it belongs  &quot;  , in Muslim countries where everyone can enjoy it . Lets stick to the &quot; Devils &quot; we know , that reside in DC .</description>

		<description>Shariah Law has no place in the United States , we already have our own laws and Constitution and our leaders already have problems enforcing those laws correctly . So why on earth would we want to give them more to muddle their feeble minds .

Just tossing this out here but if a person comes here to live , and they necome a citizen of this great county why would they want to revert back to the laws of a county they left .</description>

		<description>&quot;Shariah is a threat and so is the anti-American, anti-White, and anti-Jewish hate group known as the SPLC.&quot;

Apparently you skipped the  notion that the SPLC was in fact founded by Jewish civil rights attorney and has listed several black as well as some jewish nationalist hate groups, but reading and researching beyond the level of a dyslexic kindergardener must be a frustrating and disheartening reality, so I won&#039;t hold it against you for not being able to find this!

&quot;They label anyone as being “far-right” if they have the brain cells to see just how much Socialist, Marxist, and Islamist garbage the SPLC shovels around...&quot;

Ahh, yes, or rather being able to call them (far-right) for what exactly they are and harbor, which isn&#039;t anything resembling functioning brain cells or common decency. Islamism as you describe is in fact closer to the authoritarian, reactionary babel your spewing right now, and socialism and marxism are some desperately empty ad hominems to utilize in the Age of Obama; would you care to define or specify what you think and than what they actually mean?

I’m a member of the “far-right.” The SPLC are members of the “far-gone.”

Yes, &#039;far gone&#039; in putting the disorderly status quo back under the rule of law and winning justified lawsuits to innocent victims of their destructive and incoherent worldviews. Too bad the same can&#039;t be said for the objective retardation present in the preceeding comment.

&quot;I don’t know under what rocks they live, but these lowlifes who crack on concerned Americans would easily raise their IQ’s by100 points if they could just kept their bigoted grills shut – although they would still have minus signs preceding their quotients.&quot;

How you could view such &#039;rocks&#039; is easily explicable if one&#039;s own mind is a metaphorical wet match in the bowels of the darkest cave. Of course, we&#039;re all &#039;concerned&#039; Americans, but those of us with manifest I.Q.&#039;s above 100 believe and try to abide by decency, respect and due process in having (actual) issue and concerns addressed. You see, sincerity and emotional appeal in propagating what are objective lies, half-truths and misperceptions doesn&#039;t make you a &#039;concerned&#039; American as much as a demagogue and sociopathic liar in need of psychiatric attention. Pointing it out is actually the initial sign of existing intelligence, denouncing it suggests morals of a sort, and rampant denialism is probably the knee-jerk kicking of the medically-defined &#039; mentally retarded.&#039;

&quot;But, hey, I do admire their abiliity to type while dragging ther knucles along the ground.&quot; 

As you should! It was of course you and your elk&#039;s retrograde genes and anatomy that made it a de facto evolutionary option and complimentary style to stay such a way. As long as we keep you from all those socialist/marxist concepts of car keys, sharp objects, large sums of money and any sort of electoral position of authority, I think we can keep you admirably confined to the comment section on an Internet forum, where you can be a real performance artist for us to pity and fearless at!</description>

<p>&#8220;But, hey, I do admire their abiliity to type while dragging ther knucles along the ground.&#8221; </p>
<p>As you should! It was of course you and your elk&#8217;s retrograde genes and anatomy that made it a de facto evolutionary option and complimentary style to stay such a way. As long as we keep you from all those socialist/marxist concepts of car keys, sharp objects, large sums of money and any sort of electoral position of authority, I think we can keep you admirably confined to the comment section on an Internet forum, where you can be a real performance artist for us to pity and fearless at!</p>

		<description>Under normal conditions thats’ right ,now add a muslim in the white house coupled with the political correctness mood in the country today .And you have the perfect storm .They saying there might not be be an election now . If they can cancel a presidential election anything is possible do a web search on Agenda 21 .Then you can tell me I’m crazy !~Jon Kemp~

Allow me to do it for you and advise you to stay away from all sharp objects, car keys and any sum of money to boot!  For those that still subscribe to the Obama birther/muslim fringe-ology at this time (while insisting on their inactual &#039;anti-racism&#039;), an insanity asylum separate from productive society is only too good a resolution for them. Oh, and &#039;Kemp&#039;? Hmmm, that sounds awfully similar to a truly apocalyptic and scary book I once heard of, but I can&#039;t recall its complete title or author...</description>

		<description>For those of us seeking rational political discourse and non-revisionist historical lessons, the secular writing and passing of the U.S. FIRST constitutional amendment makes the imaginary threat of Sharia Law or any religious persecution/totalitarianism a non-entity; our Founding Fathers made any number of errors but separation of church and state was not one of them (I say this as a Christian for all my life; democracy can and MUST triumph democracy). But than again, there is no amending true human stupidity or ignorance, so we only have the completely necessary evil of government and rule of law to hopefeully get right what most indeed do wrong.</description>
