This is what I am talking about! While the world’s eyes are on Wisconsin and the war on Public Unions (I hope Scott Walker is really trying to burst these parasite unions. That would be, as convicted felon Martha Stewart says, a good thing), in Tennessee we can walk and chew gum at the same time. While we have a law proposed to do away with our teachers’ Unions (mostly), another law has been proposed to outlaw Shari’ia and make it a felony to adhere or practice it! Read on:
A proposed Tennessee law would make following the Islamic code known as Shariah law a felony, punishable by 15 years in jail.
State Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, and state Rep. Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, introduced the same bill in the Senate and House last week. It calls Shariah law a danger to homeland security and gives the attorney general authority to investigate complaints and decide who’s practicing it.
It exempts peaceful practice of Islam but labels any adherence to Shariah law — which includes religious practices such as feet washing and prayers — as treasonous. It claims Shariah adherents want to replace the Constitution with their religious law.
A dozen other states are considering anti-Shariah bills, and there’s a federal lawsuit in Oklahoma over one.
Well, that is a shot across our Enemy’s bow. The usual suspects have theior panties in a bunch:
Imam Mohamed Ahmed of the Islamic Center of Nashville on 12th Avenue South said Islam teaches its followers to obey the law of the land. Shariah law, he said, teaches moral values.
“What do you mean, really, by saying I can’t abide by Shariah law?” he said. “Shariah law is telling me don’t steal. Do you want me to steal and rob a bank?”
No, asshat, we don’t want you stoning women and hanging gays. Marrying children, and all of the other lovely things that go along with Shari’ia law. I don’t know if this law has a chance of passage or not. I intend to write my State Senator, Stacey Campfield, and encourage him to support this. He is a straight-shooter and unafraid of controversy. It’ll be fun if it does pass. The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be heard from the Left Coast enclaves to the cities of the Northeast. It’ll piss all the right people off.
