Do you support Sharia Law and should true Muslims strive to implement...

As an American I believe our nation's laws should be based on the U.S. Constitution. You believe they should be based on Sharia Law.

Do you believe that Saudi Arabia is obligated to accept non-Muslims to emigrate there just like you expect the U.S. accept immigrants that oppose the U.S. Constitution?

@Patrick21
Perhaps I should ask which law do you follow? Man made law or the God's law?Man made law always favors those who are wealthy and powerful. Those in power have and will always twist the law to benefit themselves.

Do you believe that Saudi Arabia is obligated to accept non-Muslims to emigrate there just like you expect the U.S. accept immigrants that oppose the U.S. Constitution?

Ah, but these are two completely different situations. Firstly, Saudi Arabia does allow non-Muslims to emigrate there and many do for work (economic opportunities). There are specific restrictions, however, when it comes to a particular region within Saudi Arabia called al-Hijaz, because there is an injunction from the Prophet (May Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) himself that in that region, only Islam should be permitted. This area is where the two holiest cities are located (Mecca and Medinah) and are a sanctuary for the Muslims.

Muslims do not usually go to this area for economic reasons. They go there from all around the world primarily to get closer to their Lord. Outside of Hijaz, immigrants are allowed and have been allowed for centuries to benefit from the economic prosperity that Muslims enjoyed throughout their history and up until now in certain parts of the Muslim world while still practicing their religion. In Egypt, for example, there are massive churches that are hundreds of years old all over Cairo.

If a group of christians, for example, within the United States wanted to set up their own christian-only commune in which they would feel more comfortable interacting within their own environment, I wouldn't have a problem with that. If, however, that commune put those christians strategically in charge of the nation's resources and they then wanted to bar everyone else from the same prosperity and horde it all for themselves, then...well...that's a very different story, isn't it?

I've noticed that you have christianity set as your religion in your profile. You know then that the wealth that has come to any of us is from our Creator and a trust from Him. How then, can you promote restricting God's Abundant Provision from much of His Creation? Do you think you are entitled to that prosperity simply because of your wise decision to be born in a certain geographical location? You have no more a right to it than anyone else, and if Allah has entrusted you with it then denying that provision to others who are in even more need of it than you is a breach of that trust.

US Constitution is NOT God's law & if you are a Christian then I am sure you don't support everything in US Constitution. For example do you support rights for LGBT groups? Do you support right to have abortion? If you do, these are against Christian teachings just like these are against Islamic teachings.

If a potential immigrant disagrees with the U.S. Constitution, they should instead immigrate to a nation that shares their values.

You are scared of us! You are scared of Muslims because you fear us depriving you from fulfilling your carnal desires!!

No, I just don't want to live under a Muslim, Christian Jewish, etc., theocracy.

And you have discriminatory understanding about Islam that you will be forced to follow it if majority of population are Muslims? As an advice, before you have this fear and negative connotation against Islam, research first. I mean, research well without it being tainted with prejudice and attack against Islam. Research and learn about our religion and it's history, as if you are learning by watching a documentary channel to learn and be educated. Once you learned about our religion (and yours before you apostate and replaced it with a different religion) and it's history. You will be shocked to find out that you came out really ignorant.

Of course I would support it. I'm still trying to understand why any Muslim wouldn't. Judging by your overall posts and the hypothetical you posed, it seems you are worried that migrant Muslims and possibly American Muslims, are trying to turn the country into an Islamic state. There are Muslim majority countries that already exist which are not Islamic states. Relative to what we know as an Islamic state from the early Muslims anyways. What makes you think migrants are going to come here and try to convert a non Muslim majority country? Lets not forget it wasn't so long ago that Saudi offered millions to Nicki Minaj to go twerking on a stage in front of a bunch of Arabs. Embarrassingly enough, she turned them down. But I digress..

Are migrants disagreeing with the constitution a big issue? Last I remember, it was a bunch of patriotic Americans who stormed their own capitol where people were killed and property was destroyed.

I think you just fear the Shariah law, because you do not know much about it...and the only information you DO have about it is either negative, incorrect or not complete.

You think it is a list of medival barbaric rules, primitive and in no match with the modern rules you have now which reconsiders your norms and values.
But if you would take a closer look at it, you will find out that on the contrary, the shariah is very fair, humane, tolerant, pro-women, pro animal-welfare, and not outdated at all.

The subject is of course huge, but if I may take an example of it I will try to explain it to you:

The shariah dictates that which food is permitted to us (halal) and which food is forbidden (haram)
You of course know that we cannot eat pork but we may eat beef.
However, it does not end there.

first of all, things that are forbidden in Islaam, are forbidden because it is harmfull in some sort of way. either harmfull for our body or soul, or harmfull for others, for animals, environment, society...whatever.

Pork is harmfull for our body. You can read about it in many researches online.

second, even beef is only permitted for us if all the conditions are met:
it starts with animal care. tortured animals are not suitable for consumption. Neglegted, mutilated or starved animals are generally forbidden to consume.
Therefore, their meat is worthless. This forces farmers to take care for their animals.

Animals may not be given stress, and should not be held in too small cages.

Animals know death. They recognise fellow animals in distress. So slaughtering animals in front of other animals is an absolute no-go.
So animals being slaughtered in modern slaughterhouses where animals can just watch is totally barbaric.

Modern law dictates animals to be anaesthetized or tranquilized prior to slaughter. That is considered "humane".
however the part they do not speak about is that the "tranquiler" is actually a metall pin through the brain.
it happens regularly that one shot is not enough for a big animal and it must be repeated for the animal to go down.

The heart keeps pumping fresh blood and oxygen to the brain, the animal feels a lot of pain cannot react because the brain is damaged.
Very humane indeed.

Islaam dictates to cut the both main arteries with a sharp knive so the blood and oxygen supply to the brain is cut off, so the animal does not feel anything in a couple of seconds.
which is of course a much better and secure method.

Besides, Islaam is a worldwide religion. Here in Europe we could drug the animal down if we wanted, but the rulings should also be acceptable for someone in Africa.

This is one example of why the shariah is and should be superior to all other modern rulings. it encompasses all.

Let us not forget, Sharia Law is PRO FAMILY...just because it is pro-women, animal, etc, it is NOT pro ANTI-FAMILY, destroy masculinity to uplift women and pro perversion much like what we have here

Thanks for the feedback!

I would like to add this to the discussion here ,

Quran 4:58

Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer

And this is why I, as an American, oppose permitting most Muslims from emigrating to the U.S. Why? Because most Muslims don't respect the views and beliefs of others. They certainly don't respect the U.S. Constitution and would happily eliminate all rights under it while abolishing our democratic system in favor of a Muslim strongman. No thanks.

I’m not sure if you meant to quote someone else, but the question still stands. Eric is a Christian btw.

If you live in fear of Muslims, it is because you know how Americans have treated them.

There is 'One God' we are all created by the same God, we have a duty to care for all of God's creation. That has to mean caring for each other despite our differences.

I am Christian by the way.

In the spirit of praying for justice for all people,

Iraq is not even remotely the topic of this thread.

Again, you are TOTALLY off-topic. Perhaps you can create a thread wherein you can express your displeasure with U.S. policy in Iraq so tha we can keep this thread ON-TOPIC.
