I agree this nations laws have evolved over the years from many sources. If a culture wants to have their influence or take on justice then get it voted on and enacted. Then if the majority agrees it should be law then and only then!

Come up with my asking price for the property and I would be happy to go back to Canada.

It is aimed at Muslims but would unintentionally hit Jews!

This one is going nowhere!

Neo, I came from Chicago.

As D points out our law came wholesale from England.

Suuuure Dave, we know how the left is secretly destroying America from the inside.



This is a tough one. It's not pointedly a religious law (although we really, really don't want shariah law courts, like they do in France). While the Catholic law is blatant.

I'm going to think about it. Who knows, I might actually have a lucid thought by accident.

But only if it doesn't run afoul of the rights of minorities. If one looks at say France or the UK, one can get a sense of the profound effects of Sharia law. In the salient case here, a NJ woman sought a restraining order against her husband after being beaten and raped, the restraining order was denied because of consideration of Sharia law. Take a look at the actions of courts in France and the UK and the influence of Sharia law on their systems. The proponents of restricting Sharia law considerations are actually arguing for less government entanglement with religion and not more. Should Sharia law be taken into consideration when making legal decisions in the United States?

BTW, the pro-Islamic groups can perpetually deny that their religion is peaceful; however, the history of the last thirteen hundred years together with their recent barbarous actions paints a different picture. The West at least moved away from the atrocities of the Dark and Middle Ages.

I would say, only in instances where it does not run afoul of our established laws. When I say "considered" I don't mean accepted as the law of the land.
I mean "considered" as it may pertain to establishing motive in the commission of a crime.

The issue I take with this law, is that I believe it to be more politically motivated than anything else. We already have laws against beating women and hacking off heads. Why should we need a second set of laws saying;"Oh, BTW, that goes for Muslims and Jews too."
