Michigan Muslims Call Bill To Ban Courts From Considering Foreign Law As “Racism At Its Core,” CAIR Threatens To Sue…
What exactly are they afraid of?
Detroit — Opposition is mounting among Muslims against pending legislation that would ban Michigan courts from considering “foreign laws” — including Sharia, or Islamic law.
Muslim and community leaders gathered Tuesday in Midtown to denounce legislation from state Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, as divisive, unnecessary and mean-spirited.
“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan.
“It’s racism at its core.”
Similar measures are under consideration in 25 other state legislatures, and supporters say the protections are needed. The Michigan bill doesn’t mention Sharia, but watchdog groups say they’ve identified 50 cases nationwide that could be influenced by the religious rules. Most involved divorce or child custody.
Another sponsor of the Michigan bill, Rep. Martin Knollenberg, R-Troy, said the legislation is necessary because “we shouldn’t allow other laws to usurp the state constitution.”
He scoffed at critics who called the bill racist: “Where does it say (in the bill) it’s anti-Muslim?”
Agema last week called the accusations of bigotry “hogwash.”
A House committee has yet to take up discussion of the bill. The Council of American-Islamic Relations’ Michigan chapter announced Tuesday it would sue if it becomes law. Gov. Rick Snyder’s office hasn’t done an analysis of the measure, said his spokeswoman, Geralyn Lasher.

I can hardly wait to read the ACLU submission attacking the infiltration of foreign law into American courts and defending the bill/new law. They will be doing that, won’t they?
This is statement is epicaly classic when used in this context and the intended audience.

Using our court systems and taxes to push acceptance of their Sharia law. They are going to keep pushing and prodding until America gives in unless there is a stand taken. The approach is the same as many a liberal agenda, but the outcome so tragic if it’s not nipped in the bud now. Follow the money trail of donations to CAIR.
Were Michigan to “consider” “foreign law” they would be respecting the establishment of religion it has nothing to do with race. Islam is not a “race”. Is it that tough for you to grasp CAIR?
We all know that the only part of “foreign law” you want considered is the part that allows you to convict others of “blasphemy” and have them killed so you no longer have to expend any effort to convert them.
” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan”
Tlaid failed to finish his statement. I think what we meant to say was, “We simply cannot move forward with this plan because it will interfere with our plan to impose sharia law on the people of the United States.”
What a load… incrementalism is the means of attack that subversives use to erode our society… now it seems as if they are applying the principlal from the top down. Rust never sleeps.
“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,”

Not quite stupid muslims,
you can be accepted … without living by sharia
the Constitution protects all… without fractioning along religious beliefs…
The most amazing thing is that the country continues to rationalize and entertain this sort of horse shit. Lenin was wrong about the capitalists selling the rope with which to hang them. We are hanging ourselves and the taxpayer is supplying the rope.
Creeping Sharia

Hey Human, not only is islam not a race but laws are abstract things and not human being flesh and blood, to reject law that isn’t of our constitution, is rejecting non human things. Race refers to human beings and nothing else. Laws have no race.
Could a Chinese person put their 4 year old to work here because its legal in China? FUCK CAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more thing. What about this whole ‘Separation of Church and State’ the atheist, ACLU and most leftward are always bitching about.
Hey CAIR….fuck you. You have 3 options.
1. Adapt to our laws and customs.
2. Our laws are just fine…if you don’t like them, please take your shit and get off US soil.
3. Keep fighting with us and retaliation is right around the corner.
What do you think would be the reaction if a group of Christians or Jews went to some muslime country and tried this same thing in THEIR ‘court system’.
We need our lawmakers to step up and pass this legislation SOON, because they will continue to try this everywhere they can ! ! !
I am reminded of a Frank Zappa song – ‘freak out’ – there is a line about how
” it can’t happen here ” – the times (’60s) he was talking about were different, but the concept is the same – ” who could imagine. . .that they would freak out – somewhere in Minnesota ” – - ” who could imagine – -that they would freak out – in Washington DC ” . . .
The U.S. Constitution IS the law of the land, and if ya don’t like it LEAVE! And if you don’t like it DIE! osama obama seen peeing his pants.
I first saw planet of the apes in 1969
I thought the idea of a bunch of barely able to speak apes
taking over and defeating human civilization ridiculous.
I don`t feel that way anymore. I`m seeing it happen.
How is this happening: Attended a class where the professor bragged about having a Ramadan dinner with the Muslims. This is what is being taught in our universities. Always keep in mind, there is no such animal as a moderate Muslim.
Filthy Infidel.
Tricks are for kids.
America: Love it and adapt or leave – you want this, you want that – I want you to STFU.
Didn’t know islam was a race. Huh, learn something new everyday.
The Muslims were counting on this back door entrance. I’ll be glad to see it suddenly slam in their face.
“we shouldn’t allow other laws to usurp the state constitution.”
@ commieobamie says:
The U.S. Constitution IS the law of the land, and if ya don’t like it LEAVE!
Exactly! How about we should think of the nation as a whole too! Our US Constitution is being destroyed slowly by creeping islamic law.
When is a real leader going to grow a pair of balls and step out with the koran in hand and instruct the nation on the FACTS as these evil people see it??
Why dont he go and pound sand in the gobi desert all alone
If he says the law is racist then ask him which race is the top “race” within Islam and Sharia? If all the world adopted Sharia which “race” would be discriminated against?
I wish I had a rep like Mr. Knollenberg
You can’t negotiate with Muslims. They can’t be reasoned with or accommodated. The terms radical and moderate just confuse things. Islam is an expansionist imperialist religion. Understand that they are on a mission. If you’re not Muslim then to them you are non-Muslim you are an infidel. Something to be converted or to be killed. That’s it.
Don’t allow any type of sharia courts. No sharia law. This thing is going to have to be resisted from now until there are no more Muslims or there are only Muslims.
It can’t be racist as Islam is not a race.
Perhaps it is cultist, or turbanist, or burkaist, or bombist, or beheadist. But racist, no!
Siddown and shaddap. We don’t give a good crap what the Koran says about anything. Nor the Torah, nor the Bhagavad Gita…
“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan.
Let me rephrase YOUR position for you asshole, “Your plan goes against our country’s core values as exhibited in our CONSTITUTION”.
What they don’t seem to understand is that immigrants from past US history were coming here to become American and meld their culture to the American way. These bozo’s (can I call them that) want to establish “Constitution Free Zones” here in America. If they want to stone thier women to death, cut off the hands of thieves, and kill their children for dishonoring the family name they should move back to a country that allows that. There is a distinct line between government and religion here in this country, Sharia has no line and if they want to live under Sharia they should move to where it is used. The CONSTITUTION is what we use here.
Death to pisslam! Get your stinking supremacist totalitarian political ideology out of my country! And get your stinking asses out of my country too!
pisslam is evil!
Why dont you fkn pussies in Michigan do something about your state…..
From “Answering Muslims” http://www.answeringmuslims.com/
The conversation would be hilarious if it weren’t so frightening.
MUSLIM AMERICANS: “You non-Muslim Americans have nothing to worry about. We Muslims would never even think about imposing Sharia in the U.S.”
NON-MUSLIM AMERICANS: “Well then, you wouldn’t mind if we pass a law that will ban Sharia from being used in U.S. courts.”
MUSLIM AMERICANS: “What??? You only want American law in American courts? No Sharia? How dare you! You’re Islamophobes! You’re bigoted hate-mongers!”
NON-MUSLIM AMERICANS: “If you had no intention of bringing Sharia to the U.S., why are you opposed to us banning it?”
MUSLIM AMERICANS: “Racists! We’ll sue (to keep you from getting in the way of Sharia)!”
BRING IT ON. If this does become law in the US too, them Moozlims will have to rewrite the Koran which says” kill the Jew wherever you may find him and “kill the unbeliever, kill the infidel” AND Moozlims will not be able to say those things which they currently say in their 5 times a day prayers. Bring it on motherf–kers.
American laws in America? What a commonsense concept. Talib should be immediately stipped of her office and prosecuted for sedition and violation of her oath of office (support and defend Constitution). The actions by CAIR and its DOJ sttoges and sympathizers put a lie to their claim that they are not working to establish Islamic dominance in this country. Their agents merely bide their time.
