I can't recall meeting anyone that suggested people not be "allowed" to keep their traditions. It seems to me that they simply don't think they should have to adapt themselves to the cultures of those that move to a country that already has a culture they enjoy.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Of course. The dangers of multiculturalism arn't about superficial differences like food or music, they are about real differences that impact people's wealth, freedom and way of life.

What's at issue is starting with overgeneralized assumptions of superiority and then contorting one's view of the world to make it fit, rather than examining the merits of specific qualities of the individual as they actually occur.
The phobic process is the same, regardless of whether it utilizes physical details or cultural details.
So, you're right, whether focused on the physical or the cultural, it is immaterial what is being used as a vehicle for bigotry when the consequences of that fear are indistinguishable from one another.
My rejection of sharia law is not based on bigotry but on knowledge. Take that stupid shit elsewhere. Leave the kafta.
Since you're not making a distinction between Hanbali, Hanifi, Maliki or Shafi'i, you certainly sound ignorant and bigoted.

I reread it and find that it was perfectly clear. But for you, just this one time because you're special, I'll add more. Sharia law is antithetical to freedom, self expression, personal rights, the Constitution of the US, and me. The day this country allows criminal prosecution for saying "Mohammed is a pedophile dog fucker" and forbids women from attending school or exposing their navels will be when I start shooting.

Instead of making accusations of ignorance, why dont you instead enlighten us and tell us the relevant distinction between them and why I should accept any system of laws that are based off of a holy book?

Well, there are also some grey areas. Earlier in the thread, arranged marriages were brought up. Now, such arranged marriages would clearly violate individual rights if they were physically coerced by the family(i.e. a "shotgun wedding"). But in cultures that practice arranged marriage, the bride and groom generally have some sort of veto power in the affair, so I'd say that distinctions should be made between arranged marriages and forced marriages.
Sharia has also been brought up, but that's even more complicated, because while many Westerners, upon hearing the word "sharia," are likely to think of people's hands getting cut off, most aspects of Sharia simply have to do with things like inheritance rights, hygiene, diet, prayer, fasting, etc. So a lot of this anti-Sharia stuff is like telling Jews they can't follows the laws of Moses.

It was obvious to me that you were on a tangent, rage induced, emotional spurt. (shoom rage anyone)
SO... You would kill someone over their beliefs? No one would be forcing this down your golden throat FFS. No one would be forcing you to practice anything. Get a grip, preferably a nice tight one.

That's like saying most laws in the US relate to torts and civil actions (which is true). And nobody is telling sharia jerkjoffs they can't keep hallal. But we are telling sharia jerkoffs that they can't chop the fucking heads off their daughters. Ever. For any reason.
And Mohammed can suck my cock, the pedophile piece of shit.

In the U.S., which I believe we are discussing, nothing. If apostates are harmed or killed then the law of the land takes over. Remember the law of the land? In other countries their law of the land presides. If it is secular law the so be it.

What we are discussing is not the current state of US law but a potential future state of US law should Sharia be imposed. Nonetheless, my question remains, if you voluntarily subscribe to Sharia law but change your mind what happens? You get your fucking head chopped off.

Anyone who is "concerned" about Sharia law in the U.S. is a complete chickenshit islamophobist coward.
Muslims have just as much right to pass stupid laws in this country as christians, if they have the votes to pass it.
I can't buy beer on Sunday in this town. Boo fucking hoo.
Anybody who is genuinely concerned that honor killings will be legalized in the U.S. is a fucking moron.
