Radical islam will usher in sharia law.

Look at Iran, go watch the VICE series on youtube about isis.

Unlike you I've actually worked and lived outside of Texas, some of my time was spent in predominately Muslim countries. Other than the religious police in Saudi Arabia I never once saw anyone trying enforce Sharia Law, for expats they were concerned about the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. They were far tougher on their own people (ie not being at the mosque for prayer). Most Indonesians do not support full sharia law, they support the financial requirements in sharia.

As I said, quit watching/reading anti-Islam sites as parroting what they say only further shows your ignorance on Islam and sharia law.

Go watch the VICE series about isis on youtube. Once isis gained control of an area they enforced sharia law.

Then there are the sharia controlled areas in London, Germany, France,,,, etc without isis.

This sure sounds like the same thing when the FBI assists some radical for awhile to build a case, then arrests everyone.

What does sharia law say about infidels?




We are fighting an idea western civilization does not understand.

Our tolerance is our weakness.

You have it wrong sir. Tolerance is our strength. If you become like the enemy in order to defeat the enemy, then you have really won nothing at all.

No there arent.

A couple of guys claiming that its a Sharia controlled area does not make it so.

You can find a beer and a bacon sandwich anywhere in the UK. :awe:

Most Muslims are good people, but those who are not are clearly in the ascendency. Those Muslims who "do not support full sharia law" are no different than those in Christianity who do not support the mandates of Leviticus, but you cannot ignore that those radicals are an inherent and accepted part of Islam in a way that is not true of similar fanatical Christians and has not been for centuries. This may be because the Bible is considered inspired by G-d whereas the Quran is considered the direct word of Muhammad who was infallible and essentially made himself G-d on Earth. (Christians are proscripted from creating images of G-d, and we don't even enforce that, to Morgan Freeman's relief; Muslims are prohibited from creating images of Muhammad, on pain of death.) Thus the interpretation is that when Muhammad switched from treating Jews and Christians as fellow Abrahamites to treating them as infidels, animals to be hunted down and slaughtered or enslaved, the official belief of every major branch of Islam is that G-d changed his mind. This doesn't mean that Muslims are necessarily bad people; it DOES mean that jihad and murder are as inherent to the religion of Muhammad as they are opposed in the religion of Jesus Christ. If we ignore this - if we ignore who we are fighting - then we cannot win.

Well done Australian police :thumbsup:
Agreed.

That doesn't seem to fit into history. Did you get this info off of one of those fake sites?
Even in the day of Saladin, Jews and Christians were to be respected.

Richard the Lionheart had 3,000 captured Muslim prisoners (including large numbers of women and children) taken to a hill. There, in full view of Saladin and his army, they were beheaded and disemboweled. Even in an age of atrocities, this was an act of exceptional and shocking barbarity.
