Do you believe that Sharia Law is compatible with our Constitution?

I want to know whether anyone believes that Islam in America demanding Sharia Law will work in America with our Constitution and Bill of Rights. With the growing Muslim population (both legally and illegally) and all of the special treatment they get regarding their religion as compared to any other in America are you worried about whether our Constitution will survive?

No. Sharia law requires a totalitarian form of rule to operate. Our constitution works best in a secular environment.

I will have to agree to some degree; here's why; and no it is not in accordance with our laws here but some of those laws I do agree with such as crime. rape, murder, theft, and other major crimes are dealt with on a different level. you rape kids or murder someone. you are put to death within weeks and I like that. I think crime will stop overnight here in this country and that's very effective. the problem is that we have too many people and companies making money off of the justice system. we have too many criminals that are walking the streets because of flaws and loopholes in our judicial system. so some of the sharia law I do support when it comes to crimes committed. that's just my take on it.

I do not believe that Sharia Law will allow for us to pick and choose which ones we like and which we disapprove of. I do agree that our criminal justice system has gone to hell these past 50 years, and we need to revamp the entire system.

Draconian penalties do not solve basic impulses. Many rapist get started by a culture where women are systematically de-valued. The theft of billions remains unpunished because the theft was done by robosigning foreclosure proceedings rather than with a firearm. Our judicial and correctional system favors wealth over truth. Adding draconian penalties won't make crime disappear. it just gives another way to clamp the iron boot on the throat of the poor and powerless.

A big overwhelming no. Shariah law minus the banking has penalties for crimes that involved murder and other means which are illegal. Finally, US laws supersede foreign laws. States are already clamping down on this to ban at both a state and fed level.
Shariah Law may work there when culturally, every country there hates one another and is an artificial construct post Ottoman Empire and WW2. To rule some of those countries and areas where it is a revenge tribal based society, a heavy hand seems to be needed.

I think our Constitution will survive, but I think it's sad that your question is probably a valid one. How in the world does Sharia law threaten our country? It shouldn't, but I can see how it might ... all in the name of "tolerance" and political correctness. You ask a great question, in my opinion, and our political leaders - the folks we elect to represent us - will have to answer the question as we go forward.

Religious dominion by any religion is incompatible with our constitution. Only freedom of and from religion is compatible. No establishment, no prohibiting free exercise thereof.

Mr. Shene it is not protection from religion but the protection from being forced in to believing or forced to following a religion. Please read the First Amendment and tell me what you think.....

Our politicians are just a bunch of cowards and refuse to do anything about it. They just sit on their hands and do nothing.

Our Constitution will survive.As Isoroku Yamamoto put it You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.Islam does have a foothold in America but it will not dominate.Sharia Law is not compatible with our Bill of rights or Constitution.

God will have the vengeance brother. He might use you to get it, but do not let it poison you or break your happiness. When we serve against evil, some of us fall and some of us carry on. God Speed to you, but more importantly God's Peace and Love....

No, I do not feel it is compatible. When the US Constitution is treated as being equal or secondary to any other legal system then it loses it's value and protections. Our freedoms that the Constitution were intended to be bestowed on man by a force more powerful than government which was intentional because anything granted by the government can be taken away by government. Sharia law is incompatible based on the punishments and power it gives to the authority over man.
