"Foreign law" can also be extended to the 10 Commandments, Kosher laws, etc. Sharia law conflicts with the US constitution in many ways so I back her up on that. Even as a Muslim, I am against Sharia law as it is by wrongly interpreting the Quran and putting together in a way that pleases the Muslim man.

The problem goes deep and pretty far back. What is needed is for leaders and elders to understand that there are problems in how Islam is being practiced, and teach their followers that. If a young Muslim like myself were to present evidence, a usual comment would be something like "you're too young to understand this is practiced for years", or "don't nitpick to justify how you live your life", or even "don't question God". It unfortunately doesn't work. So what I usually do is target the Muslim youth in hopes that the older generation "die out" with their old times and the younger Muslims grow up to be more "civilized".

SrA Edward Vong ah yes, the dismissive arrogance and inflexibility of the old versus the fresh perspectives and insights of youth--of which I, too, am often guilty. It took over 200 years for the old British admiralty to mandate that all her majesty's ships stock citrus fruits specifically to prevent scurvy amongst crewmembers, and about as long for handwashing to be accepted by the medical community as a preventative measure against childbirth fever. Keep up your good works with the youth where hope resides fresh.

I was talking to my mechanic at work who is a Sunni Muslim and he was totally shocked when I told him that Saudi Arabia Sunni Foster's Wahabi fundamentalism that is spread worldwide in mosques and madrassas like in Afghanistan. He is a mainstream Muslim like you but he was unaware of the narrative that is pushed out which uses wahhabism and Sharia law. The Saudi Arabian government is our Ally but they also have their clerics push their agenda which conflict with Western standards. The mayor is right. Mainstream Muslims like you are being attacked worldwide by both Hezbollah Isis and the Taliban. They cannot stand moderate and modern Islam.

If we were to observe Christianity, Islam, and Judaism as a whole their practices conflict with the US constitution. In private practice though, some may be allowed, but can never be made into public law.
This conversation has already happened many times on this site and it leaves with no resolution. Let's just leave it at that.

In other words, if you don't like it, don't be a part of that community (as long as they are operating within legal standards).

Capt Gregory Prickett - There is a huge difference... assimilation. They don't want Sharia to be less than but above our Constitution. But am not going to debate this... let's just agree to disagree.

I don't agree with Sharia law and in my opinion it is not the same as the others and it has no place in the USA... can we agree to disagree... thank you

SSG (Join to see) imagine moving to any other country and demanding the locals cater to American law? We've had some military members cooling their heels in Mexican prisons for expecting American laws to cross borders with them.

The quicker the better !! Now if any like our SrA Edward Vong wants into this country then I'm more than willing to help build his house on my days off. But these Shariah law types need a fast plane ticket half way across the Atlantic. No love for for the latter.
