10-8-10: (see link) LAS VEGAS – U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a "militant terrorist situation" that has allowed Islamic religious law to take hold in some American cities
Once upon a time, there was another man who wanted to outlaw a specific religion from his country, and who also spewed hate and propaganda in support of his idea. His name was Adolph Hitler.
Into this strange political era of overheated irrational fear-mongering, a voice of sanity - with an American historical perspective - cried out in the wilderness.
S. posted this response to varied online ramblings that accompanied this article on Yahoo!
"No religion should effect laws, including Christianity. Since its inception, our nation has consistently and actively moved much further away practices that could be interpreted as Sharia Law than closer to it, as this article suggests.
Women were formerly denied the right to vote in the US, it was legal to own slaves in the US, and adultry was illegal in the US in our past! Today, we have come miles in women's rights, the rights of minorities, and we are even arguing for the rights of Homosexuals--strictly forbidden in Islam.
The idea that Sharia Law would be tolerated in this nation is just the ignorant ramblings of the media.
