Opinion of Sharia law

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Horrible law, many homosexuals have been wrongly executed (over 4000 in Iran).

Well, in NC, we're struggling to fund education and healthcare, but I'm sure glad the Assembly made a point of banning Sharia law.

[Niemeyerite]

Freedom law. I am an atheist, communist, anti-American communist. And a protest voter.

I support them making a point like that, as long as it doesn't distract them from really important issues like healthcare.

Why? Sharia law clearly violates the First Amendment, and presumably every state Constitution too in some way, so it's just a completely unnecessary publicity stunt.

Sharia law violates several Amendments, I'm sure .

The whole point of banning Sharia is too get elderly white voters riled up. And it works pretty well, even as the use of radical Islam alarmism is fading.

Horrible law, obviously. Of course, the U.S. is also not in any danger of falling victim to it.

Not necessarily.  Many Arab countries use something that could be called Sharia law.  So, if a US court was applying say, Saudi Arabian law in a case, we would be using Sharia law.  That certainly can happen and does happen.

One of the biggest problems facing America today. Glad to see North Carolina leading the fight against this serious threat!

A large part of Sharia law is fine and good.  It has to do with being an observant Muslim, being a good neighbor, conducting business and contracts, etc etc.  There are some awful aspects of the Sharia law but then the same could be said of the laws of Moses or Justinian.  The violent and truly oppressive aspects have to give way to basic human rights, but if people want to organize themselves according to their religion and cultural traditions in a peaceable way, they should be able to.   

During medieval times Muslims, even while considering themselves to be following Sharia, allowed Christians and Jews - although second class citizens - to practice their faith and customs.  Many Christians and Jews in the middle east today can only wish that interpretation of Sharia had been followed in the past few decades. So a great deal of what Sharia involves depends on interpretation.

[ElectionsGuy]

Horrible, but irrelevant outside the tea party right wing mind.

[politicallefty]

If you wish to subject yourself to such, that is fine. I have a huge problem with those that wish to subject Sharia law upon others. I vote HL.
