Justice Dept. Attorney: Obama Administration May Sue States to Stop Them From Banning Sharia Law…

Red meat.

(RFT) — ​U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Richard Callahan visited the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis last night to address the fears and frustrations of Muslim Americans who worry they are being racially profiled and wiretapped — and to assure them that the Missouri Legislature’s attempts to ban Sharia law from being considered in state courts here could face Constitutional challenges.

Seated in front of a large Muslim audience during a town hall-style meeting at the Ballwin mosque, Callahan anchored a panel that included fellow federal attorneys (one of whom was Muslim American), as well as three members of the FBI.

“There is a worse kind of Muslim hatred recently,” said Adil Imdad, one of the event’s organizers. “Especially in the last two years, Islamophobia and fear-mongering have been spreading like wildfire, and it’s causing a lot of stress for our youth.”

The problem is now hitting a little closer to home, said Imdad, pointing to three bills currently circulating through the state legislature that seek to limit Sharia law (Islamic law) in Missouri courts. Sharia law could come into play in rulings considering child custody or prisoner rights for Muslims. As we’ve reported, the bills have become a source of controversy.

Callahan responded by hinting that, should anti-Sharia legislation get passed by the Missouri Legislature, it could be overturned by the federal courts. “The Department of Justice has a good history of challenging laws passed by state legislatures,” he said. “If some laws are passed, I think you will see challenges by the federal government on the constitutionality of them.”

    Man, if they keep it up, it’s going to be pitchfork and torch time.

    Did any of these ‘public servants’ read the not so fine print on the oaths they took?

    Treason used to be looked down upon.

    With all due respect to WZ, and the fans of WZ.

    This has nothing to do with this post, but since there is no open thread, I am putting this here.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I want to say something about “The Royal Wedding.”

    I am so happy for Great Britain. Our English friends needed something like this.

    With all of the terror; harassment; intimidation; unreasonable demands; and dhimmitude the Brits have been forced to endure lately, ninety-nine percent of which has been brought on by Islam, they had to have something to be wild about. They needed something to yell, and scream, and cheer, and cry for happy about.

    I think the conspicuous joy that literally tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of English Subjects are feeling tonight will do them good. This pomp, this circumstance, this fantastic English tradition is good for the British soul.

    So congratulations to the Prince, and his Princess. May they live happily ever after.

    But also. Congratulations to Great Britain. May it too live happily ever after.

    Home? home? this is not your “home”, your home is overrun with sand, goats, burkhas and pedophiles… feel free to go back “home”. But don’t think for a damned second, that we want your insane, 7th century system over here… in OUR home.

    So, a state passes a law that bans the use of unconstitutional legal methods and the DOJ is going to sue those states?

    Well once the DOJ gets their asses handed to them by the courts maybe the DOJ will actually read the Constitution to see what it says.

    There is almost nothing surprising about this.

    This anti-American admin is rife with a wide variety of Islamic ass kissers.

    Especially El Presidente.

    Barack Bin laden bows to the Saudi King every chance he gets. He, BHO, makes asshole-ish remarks about a Cambridge cop, but refuses to say anything about “I’m a dinner jacket” when Iranian citizens are being murdered in cold blood.

    Because you know. He doesn’t want to get involved with other people’s affairs.

    Obambi is not going to take out the “Colonel.” Obambi is not going to do anything about Syria either.

    I don’t know why this, worse than Carter president, doesn’t just change his name to Mohamed, and get it over with.

    The United States Constitution
    Amendment 1
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

    Islam is both a political and religious system. Establisging sharia law in the United States is also establishing a politiical system that is against the United States Constitution. That is treason.

    What happened two years ago that could have caused this fallacious lie to start growing? Couldn’t have been Obama becoming president, could it?

    isnt it interesting that libs and muslims keep saying no one is trying to bring in sharia law or integrate it into our system, and outright laugh at the “rednecks” who are worried about that possibility,

    but when state legislatures try to ensure that it cannot happen, suddenly they are “alarmed” defensive and angry that anyone would try to stop sharia?

  37. cthelight says:
    April 30, 2011 at 10:05 am

    Please tell me this not so. This country obviously has its’ own
    laws NOT sharia.

    A muslim president would behave this way. Is there some hypno-frequency in your MSM tv transmissions over there? like ‘gzOing..gzOing…’These are not the droids you are looking for’ sorta style? Because people seem to have this fixed blind spot, or is it just too paralizingly embarassing to face having slipped up so far as to elect … that. ? Just wondering.

  39. BackwardsBoy says:
    April 30, 2011 at 11:29 am

    This is insanity of the worst kind. How twisted must the DOJ be to even attempt to sue states for forbidding sharia law? The Constitution is our law and no other.

    This is a clear attempt at subversion and is clearly grounds for impeachment of any official who tries to insert sharia into our legal system in any way, shape, or form.

    It appears as though this administration has turned against us. It’s time to take back that which has been taken from us, namely our freedom and our way of life.

    Anyone who doesn’t like the US is welcome to leave. You want sharia? there are lots of other countries who have it. I suggest that they find a place better suited to their beliefs and leave us in peace.

  40. wildman says:

    Do these assholes ever read the constitution? Establishment of sharia would violate the constitution. you remember, that pesky establishment clause. If these jerks want to live with sharia, move the hell out of the USA and go back to the shithole you came from! Please take your fellow travelers in the media and politics with you.

    We never needed hellbound moslems here. Why do they come to this country. It is their obligation to clean up this country from all its filth which their devilish mohamad order them to do, and it looks like they are gaining more ground and they will accomplish what they want. Very frightening thing,they left there cursed country to clean up somebody else’s country. But the stupid gov. let them in and it is our punishment because Almighty Sovereign God of the Bible gave up this country to the depraved and corrupted and perverted life they sought for.

    Just make sure that there are rights for all others rather than Americans who pay your way to generous salary. First we have to fight to remove illegals here, now Sharia. If you all hate America so badly that you have to change everything we stand for, just leave the country and leave Her the hell alone!
