What a friggin' pinhead. I'd bet that Sen. Ketron has no clue what Sharia law even is. Furthermore, I bet this idiot would be the first to say that we should base our laws on the Bible.
Maybe he should retreat to the mountains and bite the heads off of some snakes. |
Interesting. There has to be a way to block the nasty parts of it without being unconstitutional.
Better the New Testament than Sharia. Pete |

Has Senator Ketron ever read the US Constitution? What a dumbass.

So, considering Sharia in any way shape or form in court is perfectly OK? Just curious.

From the cited article: "Ketron said he and House Speaker Pro Tempore Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, were given the bill by the Tennessee Eagle Forum. Eagle Forum state President Bobbie Patray said it was drafted by David Yerushalmi, an Arizona-based attorney who runs the Society of Americans for National Existence, a nonprofit that claims following Shariah is treasonous. Yerushalmi has written for years in conservative media about what he calls the danger of Shariah and its central role in Islam. He has represented Pamela Geller, who leads the group Stop Islamization of America ..." So the lawmaker didn't even write the legislative language, but had a group of bigoted zealots do it for him. Pandering scumbag. |
A group worried about Shariah are bigoted scumbags?
I see that the worlds second biggest religion doesn't worry about antagonising us. Pete |

Ah, charming lady. You just like the bikini :)
But many have a I would say healthy distrust of Sharia. I've heard somewhere that there are parts of France that through tolerance allow the locals to run their own courts that way. I'm not saying it's true.... Forgive me for playing the devils' advocate. But how can any Sharia at all be allowed to influence our court system, outside of actual church/religious issues? Pete |

Specifically in courts, or through the enforced morality of legislated laws? I'd say there is a big difference.

I think there's little doubt that the Bible (i.e., the Judeo-Christian ethic) influences our laws, for better or worse. I bet that a lot of these very same concepts are contained within the Koran as well.
As for the "scary" Sharia stuff, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that any of it would be codified in our laws. This is all right-wing boogeyman BS, just to scare the rubes into voting for the GOP. No more, no less. |
You know, the leader of our local biggest Mosque was tossed out of the country because of fundraising, um, irregularities.
Of course all the local priests and rabbis demonstrated FOR him when he was accused. So much for intolerant etc. Until the old videos came out. There are reasons for concern. Pete |
Btw Finn, nice discussion :)
Pete |
Lol I just thought, here we are an engineer and a salesman arguing about court :)

[Boink!] What the hell was that??!

Ya know, we already have a law that prohibits a United States court from enforcing Shaharia law. It's called the First Amendment. A court could no more base a ruling on Shaharia law than it could convict someone of failing to honor his father and mother. The jurisdiction of the courts extends only to the secular laws.
Regards, D-Ray P.S. Pete, your last post reminded me of one of my favorite bad jokes: Two guys walk into a bar - the third guy ducks. |
