[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Fast forward to 2016, and the main players have transformed because of time and oil wealth. The royal family has grown from a group of scrappy desert dwellers into a sprawling clan awash in palaces and private jets. The Wahhabi establishment has evolved from a puritan reform movement into a bloated state bureaucracy.

It consists of universities that churn out graduates trained in religious disciplines; a legal system in which judges apply Shariah law; a council of top clerics who advise the king; a network of offices that dispense fatwas, or religious opinions; a force of religious police who monitor public behavior; and tens of thousands of mosque imams who can be tapped to deliver the government’s message from the pulpit.

I've been like a broken record trying to point out this is a problem -- maybe not "the" problem, but a serious problem. It is not Islam that is the problem, but what these folks have done to it. And they are our treasured allies.

This would be the shariah law newt is saying is incompatible with American values and citizenship. Is that not a step to addressing the problem? [/quote]

Again, there is no single "sharia law". There are various ideas about what "sharia law" means. The problem is not American citizens who believe that Muslim traditions should govern their marriage, but rather an entire country to which we sell weapons that spreads its ideology around the world. Most American Muslims won't agree that Sharia has anything to do with most of the things you think are included in Sharia.

Thank you. I've studied Islamic history extensively. What Newt is calling out sounds a lot like the Shariah interpretation  exported by SA and also Iran (Bahai persecution).. I dont see anything derogatory about saying there's no place for this in the United States .

"But, if you believe in sharia, and genuinely believe in it, if you think that gays and lesbians ought to be killed, if you think that Christians and Jews and Baha’i and others ought to either submit or be killed, we have a lot of disagreement,” Gingrich said. “If you want to support terrorist movements with money, with recruitment, with propaganda, then you’re our enemy. .”[/quote]
