Should Muslims be aloud to impose Sharia law anywhere in the United States?

[BADecker]

Muslims can be allowed to impose Sharia law anywhere they want in America. Why? Because it is religion, and they have freedom of religion in America, just like everyone else.

The catch for Muslims is what will happen to them if they apply certain aspects of Sharia law in America.

American law trumps Sharia law. If a Muslim in America harms another person or his property, just like anyone else, he can be taken to court, and if found guilty, punished for his actions. This includes if a Muslim actually threatens someone else with a real threat.

The really difficult question has to do with how much Muslims will take. When they find that American law is much more favorable to them than Sharia law, how long will it take them to convert away from Sharia? Or if they won't convert, how much punishment will it take via the American court system until they move out of America?

I have no idea what Sharia law is but sure, why not? Let's let muslims do whatever they want where ever they want it. Sure - what harm can come out of it? (said he quite worried, but still slightly amused)

Sharia law includes things like 'honor killings' and murdering an 'apostate' (A former Muslim who now rejects Islam)... these could never be legal in the US...

You can't impose "Sharia law" in the US because the Constitution prohibits the establishment of one religion above another (basically, no religious laws allowed)

well... except... there are a few states where a parent can choose to pray for their child's cancer instead of taking him to the hospital, without facing charges of murder/child endangerment/negligent homocide... Blows my mind, but mostly unrelated...

IF it's okay to "allow Sharia law..."

THEN isn't it okay to impose "NonSharia law..."

AND THEN isn't it okay for me to just impose my own law?  "You give me your eldest daughters, half your savings, and your cat.  That's my law.  Either obey it or you are going to really, really regret it, buddy."

That's the point. You may impose your own law. And everyone else can do the same.

If you agree with the law of someone else when that other person's law is to kill you, then you die by your own law, not theirs. If they kill you without your agreement, then there is American law that the majority of us agree to that says to punish the murderer.

If we are going to have Sharia law in America, let it be done with people who understandingly volunteer to it... but no one else.

Should Muslims be aloud to impose Sharia law anywhere in the United Sates? in a way that will affect non muslims

this will never happen.. because islam population is so low to make it happen .. as a usa citizen, i respect their religion but they must obey usa law not sharia law..

Your last line is why it's "okay" to impose American laws on Americans.

Since when do banks and pharmaceutical companies need guns to write laws?  Is this new?

America is an oligarchy (look it up if you need to)...

Rich people write the laws... like the Koch brothers... they don't spend $900,000,000 each year lobbying congress if they aren't making ROI on that investment...  for every billion they spend, they save 2 billion in new tax loopholes...

Forget what you learned from School House Rock about, "How a bill becomes a law"... things have changed:

if you knew what the sharia law is, you would run away from it as far as you can go...
