I Have Legitimate Concerns About Islam And That's Not Bigotry

Creeping shariah. What we should be very concern about.Extremists are mentioned as the main followers but also "moderate" Muslims in America and England who carry out "honor" killings, facilitate "shariah banking" and have shariah court already established in America,England,France.

@fredmohar: Yes, Turkey. You may not like Erdogan, but the country is working toward EU membership, with all that it entails.

You probably are not aware of it, but the war in Lebanon ended in 1990, and even before and during the war, freedom of expression is absolute in Lebanon. Gay marriage is not legal, but gay marriage is not legal everywhere you have free speech. There are no restrictions on women, whatsoever.

The same goes for Tunisia.

As to the former Soviet Republics, there is no Sharia law, and there are no restrictions on women. Freedom of speech issues, have nothing to do with Islam there.

Anything else you want to be wrong about? Oh, yeah, the Supreme Court. The Court held in a 5–4 decision that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. So. yes, this was about gay marriage being OK.

Oh, right, the thing about gays being stoned in Lebanon, Turkey, Tunisia? Yeah, you're wrong about that as well.

PS: Yes, Hezballah is in Lebanon, but Hezballah does not place any restrictions in its areas of influence on women's rights, or what women can wear, or freedom of speech.
