I am neither Christian or Muslim. These laws scare me. I have had to deal with them personally in the past. If they become the Law here in the United States, the Bill of Rights will be worthless.

When and where were you subjected to Sharia Law in the past? Just curious?

Thank you for sharing your personal story SrA Marlin Taylor I don't meet many individuals with a first hand perspective of Islam (non Muslims anyway) and I appricate the conversation. What was it that made you turn away? And how were you treated from a female point of view? Have you seen/ do you feel there any moderate voices able to speak out about Islam?

Don't misunderstand me. I still have several friends that are Islamic. But I also know what the Sharia Law is and how it works. Since I refused to convert to Islam after starting it for so long, and I chose a different religion, my life is forfeit with a death sentence if I ever go to a place that is under the Shari laws.

I was raised dealing with several of the Native American Myths and Legends along with Christanity. I was taught the Religion of the Native Americans. So it and Christianity are very different. So I wanted to find something that fit me. I was on a quest to find out who I wanted to be. I went to college two years studying all the world's religions to find the path I wanted. And then one of the people I was in college with handed me a Quran and asked me to study with him. After about two months he invited me to go with him to Egypt. That's how I wound up in Egypt studying Islam. I'm posting from the app right now so my typing is kind of supper slow. I refused Islam because to me it along with Christanity and Judism are all 3 part of 1 whole. The anger and hate between the 3 is like 3 brothers fighting over who gets what after their Father died with no will.

Well said I never understood how the three Abrahamic religions all forget they have the same origins in monotheism.

This particular issue has been in the news for a while there, and is grossly misunderstood and exaggerated. I am no attorney but I have researched it a little, and what essentially is being talked about is precedents and standings in civil torts. Here are a few facts for you: #1 Sharia Law will NEVER NEVER NEVER be used in any criminal cases or federal law cases. Period. NEVER. #2 Sharia law will at the most be CONSIDERED in civil disputes between MUSLIMS who have had previous court proceedings decided under sharia courts in other countries (For instance, 2 Arab immigrant brothers engaged in a dispute over their father's will). #3 Religious law and common law, as well as international law and pretty much every kind of law has always been consulted and researched by attorneys and courts in civil and criminal law ---that is the foundation of the legal system. Judges base decisions on previous case decisions, evidence, and testimony, nothing is considered in a vacuum. This is nothing new!
So with that, you can feel any way you want to about Sharia law and its applicability to case law, but don't believe all the hype right wingers are spewing about this issue -it just is not true. Anything slightly Muslim nowadays scares the shit out of people, but this really is a non-issue.

Some states have already taken the precaution of enacting legislation outlawing the application of Sharia Law in their courts (Isn't Sharia Law an oxymoron?) Hopefully the feds won't attack those state laws, however I expect the worst.
