comments? He has some very valid points. In case you have not heard, the Mayor of Brussels has banned a memorial rally on Sep 11th so that Muslims in Belgium don't feel offended.

The idea of Sharia (Also, calling the Sharia 'law' can be misleading, as Sharia extends beyond law. Sharia is the totality of religious, political, social, domestic and private life. Sharia is primarily meant for all Muslims, but applies to a certain extent also for people living inside a Muslim society. Muslims are not totally bound by the Sharia when they live or travel outside the Muslim world.) is being voted in in various parts of Europe by Muslim politicians.

Australia has taken a stand against Sharian Law, feeling that beheadings, rape as punishment, etc is just plain wrong. (Which frankly it is).

It is possible that a Muslim dominated political body could ban alcohol in a non-Muslim country.......it is going to get very interesting in Europe.

If ever I have a daughter, I want to name her Sharia. That way, she has the potential to become a one-named celebrity.

I couldn't finish watching that piece of racist tripe; talk about one-sided.

I can't believe people actually take comments like that seriously.

racist? Doxie, I totally disagree. Your country is smart enough to not allow Sharia to become law.
It is not acceptable to rape a woman and then kill her for an alleged indiscretion.
It is not allowable to allow a man to beat his wife....just because he wants to.

I find nothing racist about what the man is saying, and frankly I am about the most accepting person there is.
But to allow laws that allow the above is unacceptable, especially when in certain arab countries is is illegal to do some of the things westerners do daily, ie go to a bar, go to a church other than theirs.
Allowing archaic (sp?) Muslim laws that are so horrible they defy description to exist in Western Society is unacceptable.
We have laws, and they must be observed by all.....not just anyone not Muslim.

And we must not allow laws such as the above to exist.

Religion should not mean punishment is avoided.

To ban a peaceful memorial to 9-11 because you are afraid it will offend those who jumped for joy over 9-11 happening is just not right.

oh I know linnie, and I didn't mean to infer all Europe. But it needs to be watched.

People need to pay attention and vote. They need to learn the platforms of their elected officials, especially if that platform is extreme.

And in no way, shape, or form am I implying that all Muslims are extreme, they are not...but laws like this cannot be tolerated....especially in free societies.
