HUH? From the title, one would think that Markell would offer us evidence that Minnesota was becoming, you know, Islamic. Her evidence? The state is possibly not going to compel Muslims to handle pork. Gee. Is she upset about the fact that many states don't compel Christians to sell the "morning after" pill at pharmacies? The new Congressman swore on the Koran. Gee. Clearly the state is now Islamic. One might think that would also make the state a "Christian Republic", given that most other public officers swear on the Bible. Muslim cab drivers won't take dogs in their cabs. Clearly it follows that the next step will be to enforce the main points of Sharia law. HUH?? This entire line of reasoning is about as reasonable as the following: America is becoming a Nazi nation, because Bush decided to go to war ("just like Hitler!!") It's a total non-sequitur. Once Minnesota starts compelling NON-MUSLIMS to follow MUSLIM practices, let us know. Since when did Markell decide that the Constitutional guarantee to practice religion freely applied only to Christians??

Clearly if we had more people that thought like you, this country would be in a lot better shape. Your like a cow grazing in a green pasture. The sun is out. The grass is lush and green. Your trough is filled with sparkling spring water, and it just couldn't get any better. Your even blessed by a wonderful visit by your owner who scratches behind your ears, and talks with a quiet, loving voice to you. As you drive off in the owner's trailer, you wonder what beautiful new pasture awaits you. But then you arrive at an unexpected destination. It is a foreboding place that reeks of the stench of death.
Fade to Wadi's house.
That's the best darn steak I've ever had!!
Like a cow led to slaughter! HUH??
Clearly if we had a lot more people who thought like you, our country would be in better shape for destruction so that the enemies of the true God could bring down a country that God saw fit to raise up to be a beacon of light. Just because the light hasn't always shone as bright as it should, it doesn't annul its original intention. If your ignorant of the true beginnings and intentions of this country with the founding of Jamestown, and then the coming of the Pilgrims, then refresh that darkened mind of yours with some truth and understanding...it'll do you some good!

I'll ask you the same thing I've asked in other comments: which of the Sharia laws are you, or anyone in the entire US, currently legally obligated to obey? Which, in your opinion, are most likely to be enacted first? Which are closest to being passed by our Congress and approved as Constitutional by the courts? Perhaps the ones about honor killings? The ones requiring prayer to Allah? The ones that forbid the worship of gods other than Allah? Seriously - if you think we are in danger of becoming an "Islamic nation," that the Muslims are insidiously working their way toward "taking over" the US (politically), then I want to know which of their Sharia laws I should attend to as most likely to be implemented. We all know about "slippery slope" arguments: am I really supposed to take seriously the suggestion that laws that, say, require employers to allow Muslim employees to prayer 5 times a day, will more or less smoothly lead to laws that require non-Muslims to pray to Allah? Again, which of the Sharia laws are you worried about most?

in what way is not oppressing muslims allowing oneself to be like a cow? We should be so lucky to have our lives predestined into leisure like that, with a simple end. But no, we have to make our own paradise, and make it available to everybody, even the ones different than us.

Kind of makes you think that maybe radical Islam is waiting for his generation to be old enough to be elected to some of the higher political offices, and then for the party of "his bent" be the party of majority before they make their move, doesn't it? I think we're lucky if they wait that long! We have many wonderful, and brilliant young people in that age group, please don't misunderstand me. I just hope God isn't through with all of them yet.

i think the real issue is bigger than just the issue of handling pork or swearing in on the Koran...or for Christians in the Bay Area with their un-Biblical lifestyle and bad theology unltimately turning people toward Islam...
if i was a Christian politician in say, Iran or even Somalia, could i be sworn in on the Bible?..or speak of the Bible?..absolutely not...if i even admitted to being a Christian i would probably be prosecuted by the law, if not beaten and tortured first..the fact is, that we have religious freedom in this country only because of our Judeo-Christian foundation and for no other reason...
there is much responsibilty that comes with living in America...America is a melting pot of cultures, religions and people...and when we all abide by the principles, laws and constitution that govern our country and it's people, then together we can thrive...if i were to move to a foreign land, i would be expected to abide by it's laws and customs..i would give up my rights as an american and be expected to embrace the laws of the land, like it or not...i can maintain my right to free thought and religious expression, except for in some muslim nations, but i certainly couldn't expect that country to sacrifice their way of doing things to accomodate me..i think that that is the point here...thanks...e

Wake-up and check history to the present time. The goal of Islam is world domination under Allah- by force if necessary. Look at world events right now concerning Islam! Markell is right, now is the time to pay attention and not start catering to a religion that conflicts with freedom. And by the way, the founders of our nation never had any other religion in mind than Christianity when it established our religious freedoms, and did in fact set up the laws and privileges you enjoy based upon it. It is because the God of the Bible does not force mankind to follow Him that we have allowed so many of all nations and faiths to come and live here.

Before you scream about the threat of "Those evil Muslims"
- Our abortion clinics kill more of our babies than any terrorist group.
- Our own left wing militias (Street gangs) shoot more Americans than any forign enemy.
- Our own drug dealers poison more of us than anybodies chemical weapons.
- Our own sexual imorality infects more of us than any nation biological weapons.
More than Islam, our own opostasy and godless decadence is a bigger threat to us.

How are street gangs "left wing"? If your going to make such comparrisons, with all the drug and gun dealing, they more likely resemble right wing unfettered capitalist thugs.

Because the gangs sre fighting for left wing causes. To distribute drugs and for the "right" to sexaully expoliot women. ]
Name one right wing militia that is doing any drive by shooting. Yes, there are some abortion clinic bombers and abortion doctor assasinations but these are few and far between compared to thier left wing counterparts. "Right wing militias" are currently confined to wannabes who hose off hilsides using live ammo to act out their fantasies.

It's little by little that Muslims will chip away at our rights. If someone doesn't want to handle pork, don't apply to be a cashier in a grocery store. If you don't want to drive someone who drinks or has a dog with them, don't drive a taxi. We all have lots of choices. I wouldn't choose to work in a position that violated the beliefs of my faith. I think the airport is right to crack down on taxi drivers. I just wish that Target would have given the cashiers a different job to begin with if there were not going to be able to do the job in the first place.

So, Christ taches us to fight for drunkeness? For sexual freedom? Somehow we have lost our way! If Islam is catching on here in America (It is now the fastest growing movement among Black Americans) we need only to look at how lukewarm our Churches have become. One Islamic Cleric in the Bay area here in CA was asked why people are joinig his movement. His response was:
"We have women who are sick and tired of having 5 or 6 different babies from 5 or 6 different men. We have men who are sick and tired of having 5 or 6 different child support payment to 5 or 6 different women!
We are the only faith that calls them out of these behaviors. All they get from Christians is "Go ahead! Don't worry about it! We are all under grace!"
Then of course we have liberal churches that are happy to provide abortions, condoms, fight for social handouts, and now perform same sex weddings. We have onloy ourselves to blame. And as we fall evfer deeper into our opostasy, we engage in a gospel of bombs and bullets to "Liberate" the world into our perversions.

I just read your blog on stereotypes/Christianity/WVW. I found it interesting. Your statement that your refutes to articles here get 'lost.' I have written many posts that disagree with the writers here, and they are always posted (at least, those that I think to check back on have been posted.) I have read many other logical (and some illogical) refutes to articles here, all posted. Perhaps you should ask yourself if theirs are posted, why are yours not? Or, perhaps they are and you are mistaken?

I am going to give you the page of my website so you can see my answer (in its candid, not-for-children to see form). I have 3 times tried to post my answer here, and it's only the facts I want to convey: he is misleading. I don't know who censors this stuff, but whoever is deliberately distorting the issue by keeping out my contradictory evidence. Please feel free to post a response to my evidence on the blog--anyone can. If you can find something wrong with it when you check my sources, please let me know and I will absolutely recant. Heck, I'll go to church on Easter with my parents. So, if you want to see the response, check out: http://hjhop.blogspot.com/ and look along the sidebar for the article with DeWeese in the title. Please be aware that my language there is far far more candid there than I would ever post on here, and that it is not a site for children.

Here is the _only_ text in the entire bill that I was talking about that could possibly refer to limiting free speech:
"[the bill] Directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to study the issue of adult recruitment of juveniles to commit hate crimes and, if appropriate, to amend the federal sentencing guidelines to provide sentencing enhancements for such an offense."
That's it. That and that there were ZERO cosponsors to get it out of the House. Not exactly the "battle" I was promised. It's has no chance of passing. Really. Check thomas.gov. Why was it surpressed? hj hjhop.blogspot.com
