The fake and never existed separation of church and state is fine and dandy for anything even remotely related to Christianity but democrats welcome and embrace facist Sharia.


Maxine Waters is under the impression that Shariah Law can be implemented while our U.S. Constitution is in effect. Anyone who disagrees is an Islamophobe and a hater according to her.

Last week, the Council of Pakistan Affairs and Islamic Society of Orange County welcomed Maxine Waters to a meeting along with other extremists in Congress like Congresswomen Chu and Sanchez, the California Comptroller et al where she made her comments. They would have been controversial ten years ago but in this PC age, the Constitution is controversial.

Congresswoman Waters accused Republicans of attacking the Islamic faith as a national security threat.

That’s patently untrue. It is not Islamic faith Republicans have a problem with, it is radical Islam but she conveniently left that out.

She said that fear tactics accusing Muslims of trying to spread tenets of Shariah into our government has spurred legislation to ban Shariah.

She attacked Rep. Peter King and other Republicans for his hearings on RADICAL Islam. His hearings concerned radical groups like al-Shabob but Maxine claimed it was Islam.

She said she is pushing legislation to ban any racial profiling.

If the people who are trying to kill you are radical Muslims, should you go into senior citizen complexes or Knights of Columbus halls looking for possible terrorists? Maxine’s view of racial profiling is extreme.

Setting aside the article above, me thinks you might want to recheck the relevant parts of the 1st Amendment in question, particularly the sections on the establishment of religion and the free exercise thereof, Liberty, along with Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits the establishment of religious tests as well, along with the constitutional doctrine of incorporation, which ties those items to the states with the same power as it does to the federal government. Finally, you might want to ask the Supreme Court its' opinion of the subject above.:nono:

As far as I am concerned, may the separation of church & state continue as long as I have a voice to speak and breath to speak it with.

setting aside you used Wikipedia there is nothing that says separation of church and state.. and our founders in government practiced quite the opposite. they just did not want it in our federal laws.

Setting aside your criticism of sources, I would simply like to state that I do not want government, whether it be the federal government OR the state government, to favor one religion, regardless of which religion that is, over another...which it would seem you are calling for, my friend. That, put simply, is wrong: last time I checked, the United States of America was, officially speaking, a secular nation and long may it remain one.
 
Let's look at the document instead of some secondary source:


Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

As for the US Bill of Rights under Sharia.

It's simple, Ms. Waters won't have any. And precious few of the rest of us will as well.

I am a atheist so I am no believer in god. But our founders based the constitution on Christianity no matter how much my fellow radical atheists want to somehow make that part of history disappear. The founders wanted the states to decide the future of how religion effects each state by the peoples will and have the federal government stay out of it. And the founders did not want the federal government making laws based on religion but in no way did they want distinguished from schools, public office if someone wants to mention god. But I do not find Islam a religion but instead just another form of government so in this case I could except the will of the people in each state to decide whatever they choose except Islam.
 
*reads Liberty's comment* Before I respond, let me state that while I believe that there is a God, I am neither a Christian nor am I overtly religious. That said, you might want to stop drinking from the David Barton school of pseudo-constitutional kool-aid, my friend. Yes, the Founders made sure that the government is there protect the right of individuals such as you and I to practice or not to practice the religious faith of our choice, neither does the government have the right to favor one religion over another...hence, the reason they put the Establishment Clause in front of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause.

..and that, by the way, applies to all religions, whether Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or Sikh or whatever religion one so chooses or so chooses not to practice and just as I'll defend your right not to practice the faith of your choice, I'll also defend the right of others to practice the faith of their choosing.

It would not be the government it would be the people of each state. And the founders never intended that if some cross was on government land or a ten commandments statue was in front of a court house that it must be removed. I dont know what the david barton has to say but it sounds like he is dead right.

..and that, by the way, applies to all religions, whether Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or Sikh or whatever religion one so chooses or so chooses not to practice and just as I'll defend your right not to practice the faith of your choice, I'll also defend the right of others to practice the faith of their choosing.

Thats the genius of our constituting for all to practice what they believe but that does not mean they wanted what we were founded on obliterated without a trace in our government.

Very well, one question:

Under the US Bill of Rights, which of those rights would not be allowed under Sharia as usually defined in those countries that employ said system?

I'll make it easy for you.

Note: The following text is a transcription of the first ten amendments to the Constitution in their original form. These amendments were ratified December 15, 1791, and form what is known as the "Bill of Rights."

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Amendment III

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Amendment VII

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Amendment VIII

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
