Sharia Along The Way

NOTE:  This post will probably get me the wrath of the rabidly stupid….but someone has to stand up to the lunacy….so why not me.

In 2008 when the country elected Obama as president the idiots went batcrap crazy….first it was that he was a secret Muslim….and that morphed into the push for Sharia law as the predominate law of the land.

And that fear has lingered endlessly for about 8 years…..there have been wasted state votes preventing it from ever becoming the “law of the land”……like that would have ever been possible…..Let me speak slowly for the slower people out there….WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

Now with the horrific attack in Nice the subject of Sharia has once again jumped to the forefront of some political mumbling…..

Newt Gingrich managed to out-Trump Donald Trump in the wake of Thursday night’s horrific attack in Nice, calling for nothing less than the ideological testing of all Muslims in the US and the expulsion of those who don’t pass muster. “Let me be as blunt and direct as I can be. Western civilization is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported,” Gingrich told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, per CNN. “Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens.” Gingrich added that Muslims should also have their mosques and online activities monitored.

The biggest problem is that those that are most in fear know absolutely nothing about it except for the mindless ranting of morons.

Let the old professor help you out a bit…..

Sharia is the laws that all Muslims live by……not completely accurate…..there is NO country that lives by Sharia law solely….however Saudi Arabia and Iran are close but no cigar….but Afghanistan comes the closest.

The term means “way” or ” path”…… it is the legal framework within which the public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Islam.

Sharia deals with all aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business law, contract law, sexuality, and social issues.

There is not a strictly codified uniform set of laws that can be called Sharia. It is more like a system of several laws, based on the Qur’an, Hadith and centuries of debate, interpretation and precedent.  (thanx to Wikipedia for their help)

Let me reiterate…….Islamic shariah is not implemented in any country of the world, most Muslim countries have their own laws & chosen only few of laws from Islamic shariah.

The laws of Sharia are strict but no more so than the laws of the Old Testament (the Torah)…..but if you would like more background then I suggest a piece written for the Council On Foreign Relations……

Sharia, or Islamic law, influences the legal code in most Muslim countries. A movement to allow sharia to govern personal status law, a set of regulations that pertain to marriage, divorce, inheritance, and custody, is even expanding into the West. “There are so many varying interpretations of what sharia actually means that in some places, it can be incorporated into political systems relatively easily,” said CFR’s Steven A. Cook. Sharia’s influence on both personal status law and criminal law is highly controversial. Some interpretations are used to justify cruel punishments such as amputation and stoning, as well as unequal treatment of women in inheritance, dress, and independence. The debate is growing as to whether sharia can coexist with secularism, democracy, or even modernity, an idea that is being tested by several countries in the Middle East in the wake of popular uprisings and civil wars.

I want to state gain……there is NO country that governs solely by Sharia Law…..as a matter of fact there is a bit of a movement to separate religion from state…..

There is some news the haters would rather you not hear, see or read……

You know those silly anti-sharia laws passed by evangelicals in US state legislatures? They may as well not bother.

(Sharia is Muslim law; but it is much more diverse and fluid than fundamentalists of both stripes think it is).

It turns out a lot of Muslims want a separation of religion and state, according to a new poll by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Arab Observatory. They polled people in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

Sharia is not the boogeyman that some would have you believe…..I will admit that some governments take its interpretation to barbarous ends….that does not mean that all live by or under the thumb of Sharia Law.

But then I am thinking that someone might like to know what they are hating……I could be mistaken.

I cannot wait to see the comments on this post……ought to be a couple good ones……..

But if these people had half a brain they would use the immigration of Hasidic Jews to make their point….most have NOT assimilated into the greater American society…..they live with their own laws and traditions….but that’s okay they are somehow immune to criticism…..

Those are the facts…but when the facts got in the way of morons?

Experts say imposition of Sharia law only 358 votes away from veto-proof majority in Congress | twissblog

I would like to end my publishing day with a little humor….what is life without whimsy?

There has been a wealth of blogs posting on the horror of the possibility of Sharia law being introduced into our governance….personally I think this is just another one of those issues that the morons have gotten the upper hand…..I mean think it over….it would take a Constitutional amendment and do you know how goddamn impossible that is…..if not then just ask those that supported the ERA.

I was going to re-blog this piece from Twissblog, a very good site that injects a little humor into news stories….personally I like that…..it is great to have a good chuckle from time to time…..and this piece gave me that chuckle I needed for the day…..

If you are one of those that is concerned about the creeping Sharia into our government may I suggest you read this….and join me in a good chuckle….

Of all the things to worry about in life….this one is a low priority…..I am more worried about the possibility that crickets will become a major food stable…….

If you have a limited sense of humor then move on…….this will not tickle your funny bone……for me…….it is just goddamn funny!

Sharia Law!

For Christ sake…..the overpaid jock has had his day in court and he has a big grin….please move the f*ck on!

Since day one of the Obama presidency…there has been this batcrap crazy bunch that keep go on and on about Sharia Law in the US…..for you see Obama is a secret Muslim and you know what that means…..they have even taken it to the legislative branches of states and the federal government…….so re truly concerned about the possibility that Sharia Law could gain foothold in the US…..and these people are damn sure NOT going to let that happen!

First, these people are morons!

Second they have nothing to worry about…it is already here and in place and championed by many!

Say what?  Let’s look at Sharia Law shall we?

The only difference is one hugs the Qu’ran the other the Bible……..

It would be lovely if once these people knew what the Hell they were bitching about……it would save so many embarrassing moments.

Who’s Afraid Of Sharia Law?

College of Political Knowledge

Please tell me why we are afraid of Islamic law.  Some say that we are not afraid….and then I have to ask why 13 states maybe more have waiting legislation about prohibiting sharia law in US courts?  My state of Mississippi is one of those scared people……their bill reads like this…..MISSISSIPPI: House bill 301 was introduced to ban “Mississippi courts from using foreign laws, including sharia law, which is a guide to Islamic religious practice.”

First of all, I have NO one that I have talked to that can tell me just what Sharia law is….other than some vague reference to terrorists and such…….all you quivering Americans this is what the law is all about……

The word sharia means “the path to a watering hole”. It denotes an Islamic way of life that is more than a system of criminal justice. Sharia is a religious code for living, in the same way that the Bible offers a moral system for Christians.

It is adopted by most Muslims to a greater or lesser degree as a matter of personal conscience, but it can also be formally instituted as law by certain states and enforced by the courts. Many Islamic countries have adopted elements of sharia law, governing areas such as inheritance, banking and contract law.

Now what makes these quivering lumps of crap think that it would every be adopted in the good old US?  First, it would be unconstitutional and that is the most important reason why all this bovine fecal matter about sharia law is just a smoke screen and a waste of valuable time and resources…..the cowards do this to avoid tackling the real problems of unemployment, state revenues and education……

I hate to be critical (now that is just a lie…I love it!)…..if you are afraid of sharia law then you are a moron!  The chances of it every being the rule of the land is about as good as you being struck by lightening on a clear day…….

Let me sum up this post and this notion…..with one of my favorite quotes….”Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance”…..and the American people are buying the fertilizer……

The Chuck Weighs In

Remember the Huck and Chuck show of the 2008  elections?  Huckabee and his ever faithful side kick Chuck Norris…..well our boy in infomercials has made a statement about sharia law….well have not most of the right wing nuts made a statement about sharia law?

Chuck Norris stands ready to defend the country, promising to deliver a roundhouse kick to “radical Islamists” who would “use the freedoms in our Constitution to expand the influence of Shariah law.”  But first he felt he had to make a statement about the first amendment…..

“First, let me categorically state that I’m not an Islamaphobe,” wrote Norris. “I welcome the plurality of religions in America and am a firm believer in the First Amendment. But just as our religious freedom is secured in the Bill of Rights, so is our freedom of speech to share even our religious concerns.”

Once he made that non-racist racist statement he went on to say……(that was kinda like the racist that says, “some of my friends are black”)…….

“In the end, it seems to me we have a choice to believe that Shariah law is, or is not, a pro-Islamic system of civic, religious, moral and social laws, which is being used to run other countries and governments but is not being (nor ever will be) invoked to run ours, based upon the belief that our constitutional republic and Bill of Rights is inferior.”

So Walker has jumped on the looney wagon with the concern that sharia law will become thew law of the land….did I miss something?  I have seen NO evidence that sharia law is ever being used in the US….of course, other than the dipsticks on the radical right that want us to believe that it is…..

My daughter and friends tell me that I should not take any of this fecal matter to heart….but you know if they were not so blatantly stupid I might ignore them….but there is a little old man sitting on his porch in Willacoochie, Mississippi that will believe that sharia law will take over and we will be in the throes of Islam by tomorrow night….IT IS A LIE….and all lies need to be challenged….and that is what I am doing challenging Walker on his assertion…..What is he really afraid of….maybe it is that NO one will remember him for anything other than an infomercial.
