Now that the Islamic State has become a global terror powerhouse, many Muslim leaders have been forced to defend the Islamic faith and denounce the practice of Jihad. But some mosque leaders in Texas appear unwilling to do so.
In May of 2014, an Islamic tribunal in Texas was discovered practicing Sharia law. In response, the Texas legislature passed a bill that outlawed the practice in the Lone Star State.
Last month, a Texas lawmaker sent a questionnaire to Islamic leaders in Texas asking for their opinion on such laws. Their response — if you can call it that — was less than satisfactory. While a commitment to protect Muslims from harm from radical members of their own faith seems uncontroversial, the Islamic leaders refused to commit.
See what the Islamic Leaders had to say about the request on the next page:
“All of this foolishness they’re doing, they could spend their time better getting to know us,” said Mustafaa Carroll, executive director of the Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “They don’t have the courage to do that.”
Sharia has many interpretations and shares some concepts of justice with Judeo-christian law. Exactly what elements of Sharia are you so vehemently opposed to? The barbaric practices of Saudi Arabia? I get that. It is abhorrent, but not all Muslims support that interpretation of Sharia. That it is not Christian-based law? Do you also have the same issue with Talmudic courts? If not, why not?
Did you honestly think they would? As of yet, after all this$#%&!@*here and abroad, have you seen any isilamist denounce these terrorists actions?? Anyone of them stand with their “host” countries? No? Me either.
They need to be burned down and deported.
Knock down all mosques and deport these illegals
Out them..shut down mosques..terror places
Immigration without ASSIMILATION is INVASION
It doesn’t matter. The fact is we have courts that uphold our country’s laws. Sharia is in no way compatible with our Constitution, isn’t wanted, needed and will not be condoned. It doesn’t work in your homeland, is barbaric and is outlawed in the United States. Why do you people insist on bringing your animal culture to America. It doesn’t work in you mother country, why do you think it will here?
America only no sharia It is against our constitution
It is not compliant with the constitution of the United States therefore must not be tolerated.
Rip them all down
How is Sharia not compatible with our Constitution? Give me the argument, with evidence that supports your position.
Clearlupy, some people *do* want to arrange their family and business affairs in accordance with their faith, and are part of the American citizenry. So, why should they be denied the same ability to do so as those of the Jewish faith?
