Comments on: What would happen if Foxnews had a tape of McCain at a Ku Klux Klan rally and refused to release it? Would there be an outcry?

I'm sure Fox News has lots of interesting footage of Christians at White Supremicist rallies, of Corporations killing people, of how Conservatives steal from the state, and so on.

CM,

I love following international politics also. Yes the woman would go to the town leader or Imam. But I don’t think the West should help them with their sharia dreams at all. It just gives them more power. Look across the world, Muslims have been welcomed everywhere with open arms and they have stabbed every country in the back. From the Middle East, to China, Russia, France, Thailand, India, Phillipines, UK, France etc. They do not deserve to be catered to and looking at the Middle East show us that they do not return the respect. Islam is a one-way street.

They want to protect the source of the video tape, so McCain points out, hey just release a transcript. Makes sense to me.

Chris-

The US. But I like talking about things that are happening “over there,” keeps me a little more emotionally distant from the topic.

The only reason why I mentioned Jewish and Christian courts is because, the response of Muslim communities would be, “if Jews and Christians can have their own religious courts, why can’t we?”

But even if sharia courts were not formally recognized by the state — wouldn’t those 40% of Muslims who prefer sharia consult with a cleric after disputes anyway? I mean, a Muslim woman beaten by her husband would probably go directly to the imam instead of filing a report with the police.

I’m a female, by the way. Purposely tried to leave out any trace of my gender, religious beliefs, skin color, area of residence, etc. to keep the conversation focused on facts. It’s way too easy to accuse someone of being an “anti-Semite” or a “racist” or a “sexist” during debates in an effort to distract from the facts.
Anyway, hopefully that new fact won’t make a difference in what I say, now.

CM,

What country do you live in?

Thats good, and you really should stop comparing Jews and Christians to what Muslims are doing today. All is not equal and the Muslims in the UK are clearly preaching to take over the UK. There was a poll that said 40% of the Muslims there want sharia law. These people should not be rewarded and encouraged. The UK has now opened the door for Muslims across the world to call for this and the UK govt is full of it.

They already have allowed the courts to handle domestice violence and a stabbing. The Muslims will just keep pusing, as the UK govt does not have the guts to confront them.

Churchill and Thatcher would of never allowed this.

Chris-

I don’t think that was me. I’m still reading up on what the ruling on sharia courts actually entails. Like, does it sanction wife-beating under UK law? Does it override UK law? Do Jews and Christians have a similar court system in place?

Fine point about media protection of Obama.

There was just some guy named CM posting in a British online paper comments section. He was supporting the sharia courts. Is that the same CM?
