[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I think you are correct, but I also think you know what they mean.

People--intelligent ones as well as less educated in terms of fully understanding the minutiae of Islam--don't think it's cool for women to be stoned as punishment for being raped, or for homosexuals to be imprisoned/shunned/murdered, or the eye for the eye thing...in the name of religious law. We have the rule of law in the US, and it's not guided by religion...any religion. So that's what posters mean. I know that you understand that, and your just going way down in the weeds to make some point. That's cool. [/quote]

You are actually proving that I am correct, at least in your case. You are wrong to believe that stoning women for being raped or imprisoning homosexuals are generally accepted aspects of Sharia. That is simply not the case and only the completely misinformed would believe otherwise. You are completely ignorant of US law when you say that it is not guided by any religion. The Hobby Lobby ruling explicitly allows religious exceptions to US laws and that is only a single example. All sort of US laws are guided by religion.

There really is nothing better than a completely uninformed and clearly wrong poster attempting to post a snarky answer. But, as you say, that's cool.

We get it, Jeff. You are smart, and you really like to debate. Step back a second and reread the post.

The point is that people are fearful of the barbaric atrocities committed in Muslim countries under the auspices of religious law.

And you are wrong about hobby lobby. The religious exemption afforded to them is not an exercise of federal law shoving religion down their throat---it's exactly the opposite: it's an exemption in deference to their religious beliefs...see?

My point is that people are fearful of Sharia because they are ignorant of it. Your point is that people fear atrocities which they wrongly believe are generally accepted as part of Sharia. Your point and my point are exactly the same. Yet, I am apparently the one who likes to debate.

Second, whether a law forces something on a person or prevents that person from receiving something because of someone else's religion are simply two sides of the same coin. You may not lie the Hobby Lobby example, but it is undeniable that US laws have been influenced by religion.
