Upstate, I won't send it to you because it's way too graphic, but maybe LueCfur can tell you about all the muslim men practicing their Sharia Law and stoning a young girl and killing her. It's on film with them cheering as they kill her..........of course it's legal and they all walk away proud of what they've done. Yes, I am narrow minded that way. I think killing is wrong and I don't want that law here in USA.

Thanks to Obamacare, that law is already here.
The muslims are exempt from paying into Obamacare since it would be against their beliefs to obtain insurance , thus they can get Obamacare for free.
I wonder if they are also exempt from obtaining auto insurance, which in most states is required to obtain a state issued plate ?

What ?
You have the death penalty in many states.
That's a reason some of your murderers flee to Canada, because Canada won't extradite anyone who will face the death sentence.
So, they get life in prison instead.
Actually, I think you're the only country in the socalled western world that still has the death penalty.
But, I need to be honest here. I would be for it, too, but needs to be 100% sure the person is guilty.
Because some of them have been put to death innocently, and that's crap !

Moreluck, you have many strong qualities about you, however, being suseptible to fear-baiting is off the charts. Don't be gullible. Have no fear, Sharia Law will not be the dominating religion, and stoning young girls will not take place in America unpunished.
Even if what your saying is true, (highly unlikely) why would you call this Sharia Law?
BTW...it's refreshing to witness, you actually wrote your own post instead of "copy and paste-ing" one of your gazillion far right wing articles
I'm very Conservative on this issue....Fry the bastards, firing squad, or hang em high....none of this euthanasia mandy-pandy BS easy way out. There's such a lack of respect for human life in this country it's sickening. There's no room in our prisons and why should society pay for these deviously broken people.
No, but we used to tie young girls to a stake and burn them alive while people cheered on...... All in the name of Religion, amen
More, yes, that jack-ass lost his cool with the old man, but let's take a step back and break down the intended naraitive for the video. Notice how I didn't label anyone with a political nametag.
A) We don't know Jackass is a liberal. He could be a Libertarian or a Constituionalist as well.
B) We don't know if old man really is a Holacaust survivor as he claims to be.
C) we don't know what was said, or action transpired prior to set these to men off.
D) we don't know what was said or done afterwards....who knows the jackass could have apologized to the old man afterwards.
Besides, tangents like these happen at my house after every Thanksgiving if we start talking politics, but by the end of the night were drinking shots saying "I love you Man"....
Moral of the post...Stop...Think....don't knee jerk....look at author/originater's narrative and intent......get more facts, ask more questions....Don't decide by just soundbites.

With that kind of advice, we'd be run over like what's happened in France and happening in the UK. I don't like the 'wait and see' attitude....not for me.
With that kind of advice, people would re-elect B.O. (God forbid)

BITCHOLOGY.....
When I stand up for
Myself and my beliefs,
They call me a
Bitch.
When I stand up for
Those I love,
They call me a
Bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts
Or do things my own way, they call me a
Bitch.
Being a bitch
Means I won't
Compromise what's
In my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to
Tolerate injustice and
Speak against it, I am
Defined as a
Bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for
Myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I 'should' be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to s tom p on me, just try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounceof beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me abitch ,so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

El-Gamal said a new nonprofit group had been formed to guide and control the project — a formal step required before the fund-raising campaign could begin. But he ran into a hitch this week filing paperwork to create the charity because a key requirement – that he first obtain federal IRS tax-exempt status — was not met.
As a result, the charity application “is being held in abeyance,” said a source in the state Attorney General’s Office.
Sharif El-Gamal, the leading organizer behind the mosque and community center near Ground Zero, owes $224,270.77 in back property tax on the site, city records show. El-Gamal’s company, 45 Park Place Partners, failed to pay its half-yearly bills in January and July, according to the city Finance Department.
The delinquency is a possible violation of El-Gamal’s lease with Con Edison, which owns half of the proposed building site on Park Place. El-Gamal owns the other half but must pay taxes on the entire parcel. The lease agreement, obtained by The Post, specifies that El-Gamal’s company pay taxes on the property and submit receipts to Con Ed. The utility said it would have to review any possible lease violations.
The late taxes are the latest wrinkle in the controversial plan to put the 15-story mosque near the World Trade Center site.
Before any building can go forward, the developers also must get approval from the MTA because the 2 and 3 subway lines run under a portion of the Park Place property, The Post has learned.

Anti-mosque sentiment rages far from Ground Zero

A July 14, 2010 file photo shows protester Greg Johnson, right, and counter protesters Ina Marshall and Tim Foster, left, arguing during a demonstration against a planned mosque and Islamic community center in front of the Rutherford County Courthouse in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
One of the most under-reported political stories is the increasingly vehement, nationwide movement -- far from Ground Zero -- to oppose new mosques and Islamic community centers. These ugly campaigns are found across the country, in every region, and extend far beyond the warped extremists who are doing things such as sponsoring "Burn a Quran Day." And now, from CBS News last night, we have this:

Three other items worth noting:
(1) Kudos to The New York Times for publishing this Op-Ed by Palestinian-American journalist Ali Abunimah, with views on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict -- and the role played by the U.S. -- which are typically excluded from the American debate on those issues.
(2) Reflecting the fact that primitive fundamentalism is found in all religions and is by no means unique to Islam, this Jerusalem Post article details how an Israel singer was sentenced by a rabbinical panel to receive 39 lashes for the crime of singing in front of an audience mixed with men and women. That article rather substantially exaggerates the punishment --

(3) This short though important post documents how children are being trained to give up all privacy, and to be good, dutiful Surveillance State citizens, through constant, pervasive surveillance in schools. As I wrote recently here, what is lost from the societal elimination of privacy is difficult to describe but of incomparable value:

Until this investigation is completed, it will be uncertain who started this fire or why, but one thing is perfectly clear: the attitudes in this video are as pervasive as they are pernicious, and if anything is "spreading rapidly," it's this.

Fire at Tenn. Mosque Building Site Ruled Arson
Federal officials are investigating a fire that started overnight at the site of a new Islamic center in a Nashville suburb.
Ben Goodwin of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department confirmed to CBS Affiliate WTVF that the fire, which burned construction equipment at the future site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, is being ruled as arson. . . .
The chair of the center's planning committee, Essim Fathy, said he drove to the site at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning after he was contacted by the sheriff's department.
"Our people and community are so worried of what else can happen," said Fathy. "They are so scared" . . .
Opponents of a new Islamic center say they believe the mosque will be more than a place of prayer; they are afraid the 15-acre site that was once farmland will be turned into a terrorist training ground for Muslim militants bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.
"They are not a religion. They are a political, militaristic group," Bob Shelton, a 76-year-old retiree who lives in the area, told The Associated Press.
Shelton was among several hundred demonstrators who recently wore "Vote for Jesus" T-shirts and carried signs that said "No Sharia law for USA!," referring to the Islamic code of law.
Others took their opposition further, spray painting a sign announcing the "Future site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro" and tearing it up.
Earlier this summer opponents criticized the planned mosque at hearings held by the Rutherford County Commission, as supporters held prayer vigils.
At one such prayer vigil, WTVF reported opponents speaking out against construction.
"No mosque in Murfreesboro. I don't want it. I don't want them here," Evy Summers said to WTVF. "Go start their own country overseas somewhere. This is a Christian country. It was based on Christianity."
The arsonists undoubtedly will be happy to tell you how much they hate Terrorism. And how there's a War on Christianity underway in the U.S. The harm from these actions are not merely the physical damage they cause, but also the well-grounded fear it imposes on a minority of the American population. If you launch a nationwide, anti-Islamic campaign in Lower Manhattan based on the toxic premise that Muslims generally are responsible for 9/11 -- and spend a decade expanding American wars on one Muslim country after the next -- this is the inevitable, and obviously dangerous, outcome.Federal officials are investigating a fire that started overnight at the site of a new Islamic center in a Nashville suburb.

As I wrote recently here, what is lost from the societal elimination of privacy is difficult to describe but of incomparable value:
Many people are indifferent to the disappearance of privacy -- even with regard to government officials -- because they don't perceive any real value to it. The ways in which the loss of privacy destroys a society are somewhat abstract and difficult to articulate, though very real. A society in which people know they are constantly being monitored is one that breeds conformism and submission, and which squashes innovation, deviation, and real dissent.
The old cliché is often mocked though basically true: there's no reason to worry about surveillance if you have nothing to hide. That mindset creates the incentive to be as compliant and inconspicuous as possible: those who think that way decide it's in their best interests to provide authorities with as little reason as possible to care about them. That's accomplished by never stepping out of line. Those willing to live their lives that way will be indifferent to the loss of privacy because they feel that they lose nothing from it. Above all else, that's what a Surveillance State does: it breeds fear of doing anything out of the ordinary by creating a class of meek citizens who know they are being constantly watched.
Training children from an early age to have no expectation of privacy -- to live on the assumption that their every move and even thought (which is what Internet activity is) will be monitored and recorded by authority figures -- exacerbates these harms quite substantially.The old cliché is often mocked though basically true: there's no reason to worry about surveillance if you have nothing to hide.

Q. A point of national concern -- and it is in my mind and my heart -- and that's more of a national threat coming to the State of Tennessee -- we have a threat invading our country from Muslims.
RAMSEY: OK, absolutely, up in Rutherford County . . . . They're trying to put a mosque into Rutherford County.
Now, you know, I'm all about freedom of religion. I value the First Amendment as much as I value the Second Amendment as much as I value the Tenth Amendment and on and on and on. But you cross the line when they starting trying to start bringing Sharia Law here to the State of Tennessee -- to the United States. We live under our Constitution and they live under our Constitution. But it's scary . . . . nobody asked me about this on the Governor's race until this mosque started coming up there. I've been trying to learn about Sharia Law, and it is not good if that's what's going on.
You could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion or is it a nationality, way of life or cult, whatever you want to call it. . . . That's become an issue, but I've read enough about Sharia Law to know it's crazy.
The gentleman who asked the question then went on to assert that 22 communities in the U.S. now live under Sharia Law, and -- he warned -- "it's expanding rapidly."RAMSEY: OK, absolutely, up in Rutherford County . . . . They're trying to put a mosque into Rutherford County.
