The Islamophobia Excuse

"Promoting fear of Shariah law is essentially a red herring. There are more than 50 predominantly Muslim countries in the world, and, while most have elements of Shariah in their civil and family law, only two have it as their criminal codes. They are Saudi Arabia and Iran, one a close ally of the United States and the West and the other currently playing the cameo role of a threat to the entire world, to borrow a phrase from the eminent Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel. The countries that do not have Shariah as their criminal codes have modeled their laws on European and American models, some borrowing from Roman law and others from British common law."

Pinoy, those in Dearborn 'protesting the 1st ammendment' at least are OVERT in their desire to implement 'blaspemy laws' against Islam. IMO, you should be much more concerned with the 'hate speech laws' the ADL has promoted for years now, those are FAR more apt to become reality than Islamic 'blasphemy laws', the two are, in essence, the same.

Both need to be concerned about, Brother.

I cannot conceive of sympathizing with the Muslim cause against Israel without essentially saying "yes" to their demand for the total annihilation of a people, too.
Because that is the bottom line.
They want Israel annihilated, or there will be no peace.
Can't say yes to that, either.

Much has been made of that. But who's actually being annihilated here? Who's really the annilhilator?

A handful runs their mouths, a whole lot of innocents suffer.

Yep Israel suffers everyday under the threat of be annihilated by Muslims.

You hate Palestinians, you are the true anti semitic here.

Ahh you caught me. I bring up Palestinians into conversations where there is no need to all the time just so I can make them look bad.

Oh wait, that is what you do with Jews. Sorry I got us confused.

 

[kyredneck]

Ahh, you're much too clever, I could never 'catch you'.

Tell me how Jews are 'unmentionable' on a thread concerning Palestine:

There are a number of incidents where Federal Judges have endorsed Sharia law. The following should be instructive:

An amendment that would ban Oklahoma courts from considering international or Islamic law discriminates against religions and a Muslim community leader has the right to challenge its constitutionality, a federal appeals court said Tuesday.

The court in Denver upheld U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange's order blocking implementation of the amendment shortly after it was approved by 70 percent of Oklahoma voters in November 2010.

Muneer Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, sued to block the law from taking effect, arguing that the Save Our State Amendment violated his First Amendment rights.

The amendment read, in part: "The courts shall not look to the legal precepts of other nations or cultures. Specifically, the courts shall not consider international law or Sharia law."

Muslim Holiday at Tyson Plant Creates Furor

By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Published: August 5, 2008
The union that represents workers at a Tyson Foods poultry plant in Tennessee has negotiated a contract that substitutes a Muslim holiday for Labor Day as one of the eight paid holidays at the plant.

The provision, which was proposed by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, has delighted the plant’s Somali workers, who account for hundreds of its 1,200 employees. But it has infuriated many outsiders, leading some to denounce Tyson and the union alike.

“You are a union that is proud of achieving a Muslim holiday and prayer room?” one person wrote the union. “A union in the U.S.A., a country based on Christianity. You call yourselves Americans? Have you forgotten 9/11?”

Another wrote: “You had no right to drop Labor Day. Muslim employees must integrate Labor Day into THEIR lives if they are going to live in America.”

Stung by the criticism, Stuart Appelbaum, the union’s president, said the decision was fully consistent with the spirit of Labor Day.

“We in the labor movement have always understood that unions are only strong when we work to protect the dignity of all faiths, and that includes Muslims,” said Mr. Appelbaum, who also serves as president of the Jewish Labor Committee.

“What we negotiated was the will of the workers,” said Mr. Appelbaum, who added that his was the first union to negotiate a paid day off for a Muslim holiday and that he was sure Tyson would not be the last employer to agree.

The plant affected is in the town of Shelbyville, some 40 miles south of Nashville. Under a five-year contract there, Id al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, is now one of the plant’s eight paid holidays.

Union officials said the two Somali immigrants on the union’s eight-member bargaining committee had been eager to make Id al-Fitr (pronounced eed-al-FIT-tr) a paid holiday. The union agreed to do so at the expense of Labor Day in part because it did not want to trade Christmas, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day or other existing paid holidays, and in part because Tyson has usually required the plant’s employees to work on Labor Day anyway. (Employees received a holiday premium for working that day.)

OR commentary: The true seed of Abraham are those redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, not the unbelieving Jews who now occupy the land of Israel.

We also read in Hebrews how Abraham understood the promise of God:

THAT IS MY BELIEF!!!!:thumbsup::applause:
