No,i don't check right wing paranoia sites like; "Creeping Sharia" because it is a right wing fantasy.

give me some thing real-any state bar association, anything other than sites that make the story fit the facts rather than the facts fit the story. Right wing delusional thinking-Sharia doesn't exist in the USA. Get real-get some reputable sources.

Sharia law doesn't exist in the USA. Not in any official form- get same real sources other than right wing paranoia lies.

So what's up with this list? Magid is Obama's "Sharia" Czar? Really? The Islamic Society of North America does not promote Sharia and Magid has never spoken of instituting it here. Another right wing lie. Magid promotes dialogue between all faiths and all branches of these faiths, including some conservative Islamic organizations that may or may not promote Sharia. Or with ultra-Orthodox Jewish organizations that may or may not promote the Jewish version of Sharia. So what?

Eboo Patel, a Muslim, who founded the Interfaith Youth Core withe the help of a Jewish friend and a grant from that radical organization The Ford Foundation, has promoted communication and interaction between different faiths and has urged Muslim groups to promote the rights of women. Sounds like a dangerous radical. Patel has been praised and honored by dozens of organizations and publications of everything but the extreme right fringe. His name is not anglo, therefore he is suspect by the right fringe-that, and the fact that he is Muslim, appears to be his main sins.

The right has tried to smear Mohammed Elibiary, of the Organization of Islamic Conferences by saying he leaked information that was intended to smear Texas Gov. Rick Perry where Elibiary worked with other Muslim organizations, Christian Churches and Christian church organization to promote internfaith programs and has worked with law enforcement organizations nationwide to help separate law-abiding Muslims from jihadists. Problem is the "left leaning" publication Elibiary allegedly approached with the classified information was never identified and no publication, left or right, has come out and said they were approached by Elibiary. He is listed as a 'stealth jihadists" by right wingers, meaning there's nothing to the charge that he promotes violence of any type. Elibiary is associated with such radical organizations as the University of South Carolina and the Texas Interfaith Council as well as various law enforcement agencies nationwide. .Sounds like a dangerous guy.

After looking into these three, I gave up. Obviously a smear campaign by the right because these guys, like the president, have non-Anglo names. Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the US so it would stand to figure that representatives of mainstream Islam would be included on the dialogue between all faiths here in the US. And if we're dealing with a very real radical Islamic jihadist threat, wouldn't a mainstream Muslim who has renounced violence be a good addition to the team combating violent acts by violent Muslims? What's the problem with that?

These guys don't have anglo sounding names-the only thing they're guilty of. President Obama's cabinet is still made up largely of white Anglo males, something he was criticized for after he was re-elected.

Terms like "stealth jihadist" and "Sharia czar" have no meaning unless there's some evidence to back it up. And you haven't provided anything to do that. Another right wing demagogue.

Sorry to be so late in getting back to you, but at 66 I still CHOOSE to be gainfully employed -- by... myself, entrepreneurial I am.

Also sorry to disappoint you, it's not that I'm avoiding tough questions. It's because I really find myself disagreeing with you and truth to tell, I do believe (my perception, mind you) that you are so certain of YOUR truth, that nothing I could say would dissuade you, so I see no point. I merely state the obvious.

It's like this. If I feel that you are insulting me, even from afar, I will defend myself. That's what I did in my response to you, because quite frankly I have become so weary of everyone yelling and asserting their truths and stating that someone or perhaps me is anti-God, unpatriotic, "mental" -- hey, I take my meds, and any other uptight, hysterical descriptive label that comes to mind. However, if you make statements that I recognize as YOUR personal truths, and I have come to recognize individualized-personal-truth-speaks for what they are -- set in CONCRETE (it's possible they "may not" necessarily be wrong, with emphasis on "may not") -- there is no possibility of open dialogue. Sorry, while I am open to looking at others opinions, even stepping back and saying "well, I had not thought of it that way" -- I am NOT, repeat NOT, open to being to being insulted merely because I might challenge you to take another look at personal truths. If you wish real discourse, I'm totally open to it. C'mon down in cyberspace, let's talk. Fair warning, angry speak is not my mother tongue. I'm not here to trade insults. Just sayin'...

What federal gun law has been passed since Obama became president-not one. Not one. Name it or shut up. Talk is cheap, but name ONE federal gun (firearms) control law passed in the past five years-just one. The states, you say? That's not Obama-we're talking federal.

The ACA forces you to buy health insurance like the states force you to buy car insurance. Health care, as well as care for injuries sustained in an auto accident, cost society. Like the states, the federal government is simply trying to make sure you don't get charged for someone else'w health care.

If you don't have health insurance and you get sick, SOMEONE else is going to pay for it. With an Old Fool like you, I certainly hope it isn't me-that's a violation of MY rights. I'd let you die in the street in a hot second, but they don't allow that-you'd be cared for on the taxpayer's dime even if you had the money to pay for health insurance before you got sick. And, like most self-righteous righties, you probably don't spend on health insurance and would expect to be cared for it you got sick-on someone else's dime..

That's the problem with the fringe right-stay out of my business until I need something-then it's drop everything and cater to those who are too self-righteous and plain old selfish to take care of themselves. Take care of ME, not that other person who doesn't deserve it seems to be the carlion call of the right. No wonder states that vote Republican most consistently are the states that suck more out of the national treasury than they submit in revenue to the same. "We want the goveernment off of our backs" Then you owe years of reparations for the money you've sucked out of the treasury

If your to stupid to see that, go away, Old Fool. Bill Clinton calls. "Bend over, Old Fool. "

This site and the things posted are making me crazy, I went off on my friend when we disagreed with him about something, I called him a lying liberal and I yelled in the middle of the library during my studies that liberals are "fucking liars", I am scared because of I have never had so much hate in my heart at one time, I think I spend too much time on this site, I felt my veins grow in my neck immediately when I got frustrated, and it got to me, not many things like this get to me, I am too young to be cynical and narrow minded, I am going to take a break from thinking for a while...
I ask everyone on this site to calm down, your hatred is making me crazy!

While I would have to agree with you about the internment of Japanese Americans and what a travesty it was, and don't give those a pass who implemented it because of either their hysteria or God forbid, for that matter, their hate, I will state for the record that I have only one God and that "ain't" him. I apologize to all if my comment should take us all back to trying to decide whether God is a republican or democrat, conservative or liberal -- so I will throw in a disclaimer stating that none of us have proprietary rights to God. Yes, that last point digressed, but I couldn't resist throwing it in. I am good at digressing.

I've been watching y'all argue. All this finger pointing and perceptions. My first reaction, bdamage and to "some" others, while not very objective I will be the first to admit ... well, just tar and feather some of us and get it over with!! That race you referred to -- if you were referring to the just held race here in VA, the one in which Mr. Jackson ran, all I can say is "praise be to God" that someone who espoused the theory that "children born with birth defects or somehow challenged are a direct result of God punishing their parents for their sins" was NOT elected. It would not have mattered what party he ran for. I would not have voted for him and it is obvious that many must have felt the same way. By the way, I AM a registered Republican, but obviously, I don't necessarily vote that way. Since joining OPP, I have come to alter some of my opinions because I have really listened and heard what others have to say and why, and can see why they make perfect sense. However, I'm not feeling your objectivity here.

Your topic says all that need to be said about you. To call an entire race of people stupid is not only indicative of your beliefs and feelings for that race, it also shows that you are not a very bright person. Of course it's all said under the cover of anonymity on this thread where you don't have to reveal your true identity. Sort of cowardly, like the KKK....you embrace the concept, but disguise your real appearance because you don't want the family, friends, neighbors or business associates to know the true you
