It's not Islamophobia if they're really out to get you.

Private arbitration--which is what sharia is in most nations--is a free association exercise. Whether you think their personal values are dumb doesn't matter.

Oh, its okay, Christians do it too.

And no, in most really harsh Islamic countries, Sharia Law is recognized as the ACTUAL law in court, not via private arbitration.

But then again, the Sharia Law poo poo is the favorite go to boogeyman of the Right Wing. Who also then love to declare that all US law is Christian in nature, therefore gay marriage is bad and unlawful etc.etc.

quote:

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in a video posted Tuesday that he believes people of faith should ignore laws that violate their religion.

Rubio told the Christian Broadcasting Network that no law is "settled," making reference to Supreme Court decisions that legalized same-sex marriage.

“In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin — violate God’s law and sin — if we’re ordered to stop preaching the Gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that," Rubio said. "We cannot to abide by that because government is compelling us to sin."

“So when those two come into conflict, God’s rules always win,” he added.

That rhetoric deviates a bit from when Rubio weighed in on defiant Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who was jailed because she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, earlier this year. Rubio said in September that the clerk's office had the "governmental duty to carry out the law," but that there should be religious freedom protections for individuals working in the office.

Islamic Fundamentalists and Christian Fundamentalists are on the same page, they just want their religion to get the privilage.

It's cool that the thread about Islamophobia is largely dominated by people arguing that maybe Muslims really are subhuman monsters and all, but back in the real world the political hysteria being whipped up over Islamophobia is driving some really frightening political developments.

If he wins, we're hosed.
