Anyway, I honestly don't care who does what as long they abide by the laws of America. Muslim or not.
If they abide by the laws of America, then they can't abide by the laws of Sharia.

I never said any such thing. I never said ban all Muslims from America.

ah.... so you're saying America should be selective. So we should tell bunch of Christian cults to get out too.

oh wait... they're born and bred in America... for generations.... what to do???
Was that necessary? What a pathetic thing to say. Would you please pay attention to the things I actually say before making me out to be some intolerant redneck worried about white hegemony (or whatever nonsense you meant by that)? I'm tired of having to requote myself to answer your posts, but I'll do it again.
Quote:
"Sane Muslims are welcome (and as far as I'm concerned, invited) to come and make their contributions to American society."
We should not accept insane Muslims as immigrants. Is that really so controversial? And how do you know sharia will always be prosecuted in America? I doubt 100 years ago, people in France thought there would be entire neighborhoods where sharia law was the law, not French law. It happened because they were not sufficiently concerned about the dangers of sharia law and the types of immigrants who want to impose it. We shouldn't make the same mistakes ourselves. A little concern can go a long way in making sure certain things don't happen here. Paranoia's not called for, but we should remain aware that there are a lot of people in the world who want to impose sharia law on the United States.

My Swiss-German ancestors didn't learn English till the early 19th century even though they have been there since the 1690s.

There was no USA the first 100 years they were in America. (You didn't say where "there" was, so I'm assuming you're referring to North America.)

Have not seen this article before but the emotions embedded in the article is what most Australians feel.

Well, Australians in general has always been intolerant of immigrants who moves in here and does not assimilate or speak much English and yet, lives off our taxpayers dollars.

The most unpopular group in Australia at the moment is Muslims and Indians.

In my state, in past few years, the former state Govt were very, very politically correct to the point that there were no Christmas play put on in schools because of fears of offending Muslims etc. Now the new State Govt Premier say that practice is no longer on, and now schools can put on Christmas plays and whatnot after all Australia is a Christian country! If other groups don't like it then take it or leave it.

I find TXGolfer's response to the article amusing.

Pro-sharia law Muslims are very minority in America since most Muslims don't support sharia law, also one Muslim student in my art class doesn't support sharia law and had discussed about how sharia law looks like.

Probably through attrition.



My family [Russian Mennonites] didn't speak English either for a long time (keep in mind, English is an official language in Canada and we didn't embrace a multiculturalism policy until the 80s), and if they did-- it was because they moved away from home in the rural areas and got a job in the cities. So eventually the family just dissolved into the mainstream over time.

Full assimilation usually takes a few generations.

Assimilation makes prosperity much easier to obtain, but I doubt that's the only reason they learned English.

That's hardly the same as making sharia a national law.

1. BYU is a private college, not a country.

2. Colleges have codes of conduct and rules, not laws.

3. Getting kicked off a team is no where near the same as stoning someone to death.

4. One more difference--it was the guy at BYU who was disciplined for his behavior. How often do you see the guy get punished under Sharia?

BYU is Mormon university and they have own code of conduct.

No difference from Bob Jones University.

Reba's post in above is correct as well.
