Sharia law in America?

President Obama's nominee for State Department legal adviser could be a future Supreme Court pick. He believes U.S. law should be based on foreign precedent, and even Shariah law could find a home here.

I too think obama is destroying this country. It is being done from within whether Sharia law is passed or not. obama says he is a Christian, if he truly were, he would tell people to stop worshiping him. He is out to bankrupt the USA and destroy this country. I am furious and have to sit back and do nothing. I call my Congressman and Senators and they don't give a darn. How do we stop all of this? I too want my country back, the USA.

Amen to that!!! This agenda of Obama has been planned out long before he ran for president. He has to be backed by some pretty powerful people. Everything that is happening has been carefully orchestraded. They want to destroy OUR country!!! I was talkig with a team member from my Senator's office, I was told that his "birth certifcate" is still sitting in the Judiciary Committee. He has still not been proven to be a US citizen.

It looks as if Mr Koh has to be confermed. Which has not happened yet. So we still have time to call and write our reps. This is more important then all the Bail outs. I can pay higher taxes( not that i want to!) But when laws are changed it is hard to get it back. So this is a call to action!!!!

Is it just me having negative thoughts about Mr Koh or do others believe that after he gets in that there will be an attempt to abolish the Constitution? After all Obama ,the Administration and many others in Congress thing that it is just toilet paper. America needs to act and act now to protect our Country, Freedom ,Liberty and Morales.What about all the Fallen Heroes, Honor Them.

I encourage everyone on this discussion read the "Left Behind" series by Tim LaHaye/Jerry B Jenkins it is a novel of the earths last days. It will give you a look into the future what is in store. It is actually beginning now! You will be amazed by the things that are happening in our country are what is written in this series. I think Obama is the precursor to the anti-christ, he is the president that sells us out to the anti-christ. Even if you aren't a Christian you have to read this series of books, there are 13. I read them all in one week on vacation, I couldn't put them down.

We are so far away from the Constitution that our forefathers created. This has been slowly happening right before our eyes, and eyes of our parents and grandparents. Emailing, blogging, complaining, and sitting around staring at the TV listening to the news getting us nowhere. Americans need to take action now. We need to FIRE the people in Congress who voted for the stimulus/spending bill, we need to FIRE Franke, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, Waters, and all the others who's hands are so dirty in the AIG scandal now. This is our Country, not the few Congressional leaders who act and think they are above the law and have a mandate to say and do whatever they want, now that they have Obama in there to do their dirty work. America, come on, get involved and let's take our country back and get back to the vision of our Constitution as it was created.

OK America, it is time to time to take our constitution in hand and hit Washington DC over the head with it hard. We may have to take our guns along. They don't seem to be listening. I have received canned responses from my Rep every time I have contacted him.
Sharia law in America? Let me out of here. I have read the Koran and I know what that means. Honor killing, stoning women who have been raped. Cutting off hands and feet. God help us, we better start fighting and damn fast. All these peaceful Muslims in our communities who don't make trouble are irrelevant, they will do what they are told to do. Why do we sit here like lemmings waiting for the ax to fall. We know all we need to know, this president is out to destroy everything we hold dear. Tea party, ok, but not nearly enough. We have to overwhelm our congress with our demands and make sure they pay attention. If we end up with a supreme courst justice that wants to use other countries laws to reach decisions, then they have violated their oath to protect and defend our constitution. All of my family has defended this country. Obama, to go to hell. And hurry. Don't tell me he is smart, O'Rielly, he is sneaky & underhanded. We will never know what he is up to until he has done the damage. Obama, go to hell.

I will not leave my country nor do I hate my country.
However, I fear what my country has become and I hate where it is headed.
We the people are no longer represented by rule of law if we let someone who wants to merge laws from another country in any office of power.
This Shaira nonesense is a slide down hill to so many wrong things.
We must not let it stand. We must stand up and be heard.
Why don't the guy who wants the Sharia law let us treat his wife with this law.

The end of our great nation is coming more rapidly than I thought. This is flat out scary. We will lose what's left of our freedom. When will America wake up?
The apathy and the just plain stupidity of the average person in our country is sickening. It's embarrassing. I'm not sure if there is any hope for our future. Big Brother and 1984 are here.
Are the historians correct? Does the world end on December 21, 2012. I dont want to believe that. We need to stand together and fight this or lose our livelyhood and disappear under the dictatorship of the growing government.

If this man gets confirmed, we need to ask each and every senator and congressman who ok's his appointment if they believe in the Constitution. Because if they do, there is no way they can ok this guy. And if they ok him, they cannot believe in it and must be thrown out of office. It is obvious to me this man does not believe in our Constitution and should never be allowed to hold any governmental position.

What's truly frightening is all the conversation (and possibly behind the scenes acting) about the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM. That would include giving the sovereignty of THIS NATION over to the rule of INTERNATIONAL COURTS and rules (the International Moneytary Fund, for example). Do you want to be subject to the laws of another country from within our borders? I think not. But that is what is coming if OBAMA signs on to these one world systems.

As far as I'm concerned, the Left Behind series is fiction, and is just that. It's been a great money maker for the authors. The Bible says no one knows when the end will come, only God, and certainly not Tim La Haye. I'll put them in the same class as Nostradomus.
