Muslims protest Tennessee anti-terror legislation

"Several hundred Muslims thronged the state Capitol on Tuesday in protest of legislation that they say takes aim at their religious beliefs, calling on the bill to be defeated. "

I see...terror is an Islamic belief....

"People have this idea that Shariah is just chopping people's hands..." Yes, it's much more. It also includes, cutting off feet and heads, flogging for minor offences, slavery, degregation of women and non-muslims, allows parents to murder their children, and so much more. It's a "way of life" for them that is incompatible with western society and the laws of the US; something so evil that it must be illegal here.

""We're proud of being in Tennessee," said Rashed Fakhouddin, an outreach volunteer with the Islamic Center. "We want Tennessee to be a shining image all across the country. Bills like this just make us look like we're witch-hunting Muslims."...

And why is it "witch-hunting Muslims" to disrupt terrorist organizations?"

Gee, you'd think the Muslims would approve of hunting witches..

Somehow dressing up like it’s Halloween (“many [of the protesting Muslims were] wearing traditional skullcaps and headscarves”) doesn't strike me as an effective way of persuading American lawmakers - each one of whom has taken an oath to support and defend the federal Constitution and in the case of these lawmakers the Tennessee Constitution as well - to protect from criticism a legal system (sharia) that is utterly foreign to our shores.

Perhaps we should consider this constitutional amendment,

“No court of the United States, including agencies thereof exercising quasi-judicial functions, shall hear any matter wherein the basis of claim or defense rests on any person having been offended by the exercise by any other person of any right, privilege or immunity protected by this Constitution. This clause shall be broadly construed.”

A further amendment would cause this principle applicable to the states,

“No court of the several states, including agencies exercising quasi-judicial functions, shall hear any matter wherein the basis of claim or defense rests on any person being been offended by the exercise by any other person of any right, privilege or immunity protected by this Constitution. This clause shall be broadly construed.”

They are barking like dogs because they know very well they will be cornered. Hope Tennesse goes forward with this legislation.
The only way to protect our democraty and freedom.

"These are issues for any group," said Nadeem Siddiqi, a native Knoxville resident who traveled to Nashville to speak against the bill. "The United States of America is known for its freedoms, known for due process, known for a fair system, and to be able to have a few individuals in a state of panic create this kind of risk to civil society is just inappropriate."

BARF! The biggest risk to a civil society is for Muslims to be in it.

We'd be better off stripping them of legal personhood, and giving it to chimps instead. They'd make better people, they're much smarter and more rational.

Muslims from across the state - many wearing traditional skullcaps and headscarves - packed a committee room and corridors to hear testimony on a bill that supporters say would help Tennessee stop terrorist plots but opponents believe singles out Muslims who adhere to Islamic law.

Well, that's the problem, isn't it? "Terrorist plots" and "adhering to Islamic law" are all too easy to confuse-they seem to have a rather large area of overlap. (I was going to add a "sarc" tag here—but really, this is nothing but the truth).

More:

They urged lawmakers to withdraw the bill, or at least to delay it until it can be rewritten so that groups labeled as terrorist organizations can protest the designation before they are forced to shut down.
...................................

Translation: we want to keep as much of that "Zakat" flowing to "Islamic charities" that are really Jihad terror groups as we can...

More:

The first version of the bill, which was written by an Arizona organization critical of Islam, labeled Shariah "a legal-political-military doctrine and system" that requires its followers to support the overthrow of the United States government. Several Muslims who turned out Tuesday said that is a distortion.
...................................

And this is a distortion—how? It's rather like that other frequent tactic of Taqiyya, where Muslims scream that their words have been "taken out of context", and then they never bother to clarify just what that "context" might have been...

"People have this idea that Shariah is just chopping people's hands, but Shariah is a way of life for us," said Arshia Shah, a lawyer originally from Britain who now lives in Sparta and came to the Capitol with her husband and two daughters. "It's prayer. It's how we deal with our spouses. And to tell people that they can't practice this - that they're doing something wrong - is a great concern."
...................................

"It's how we deal with our spouses"—yes, like unequal inheritance for wives; coercing women to stay in abusive marriages; the "triple Talaq" for men seeking divorce, while women are forced to petition the courts; condoning wife beating, marital rape, and "honor killings"...

While certain aspects of Shari'ah—such as "chopping people's hands" and stonings–are gaudier than others, there is *no single aspect* of Shari'ah that is not brutal or unjust, and that doesn't enforce unequal treatment—for women, for children, for religious minorities.

Is this what we want to see in Tennessee—or anywhere else in the United States?

Nadeem Siddiqi said that "The United States of America is known for its freedoms..." Yes, that's correct. And this too is correct: Islam is not known for its freedoms.

Freedom and Islam are mutually exclusive. How parasitical and hypocritical of Muslims to use American freedoms to sustain their belief system which, if it only gets the opportunity, would end those freedoms, freedoms such as the right to convert to another religion or the freedom to criticize any religion.

But it's a positive development that Muslims are now actually protesting legislation here in America which, without mentioning Islam or Sharia, makes so many of the barbaric practices of Islam, such as death for apostasy or amputation for theft, illegal and unconstitutional. This will only make more and more Americans aware of just how retrograde and hideous many Islamic doctrines are. Good.

Keep up the good work, Robert! ...as always, thank you for presenting us with the truth about muhammad, islam, et al - since the mainstream media sure as hell won't address these issues honestly.

"Several hundred Muslims thronged the state Capitol on Tuesday in protest of legislation that they say takes aim at their religious beliefs, calling on the bill to be defeated."

This mob needs to buy a one-way ticket back to the ME where they can live the good life (har-har) free from American oppression (hardy-har-har). I mean quit your complaining and simply move back to your islamic roots, and where American democracy can't stand in your way - which btw, would make everyone overwhelmingly happy.

islam be gone!

Absolutely Wellington, sir.

"...a bill that supporters say would help Tennessee stop terrorist plots but opponents believe singles out Muslims who adhere to Islamic law."

Muslims who adhere to Islamic law? What does he mean? Those that adhere to Islamic law, even when there is a conflict between Sharia law and US criminal and Constitutional law?

It sounds a bit self-incriminating to me.

The reason why they're protesting is because Islam is in fact a false terrorist "religion" founded by a madman pedophile who raped a 9-year old girl when he was 63, and created a crime syndicate death cult that has for over 1400 years plagued the "lands of the infidels" and caused much suffering upon non-Muslims and dhimmis. The evil of Islam is undeniable. Jihad is the sixth pillar of Islam, and is in fact the central tenet of Islam.

Only the ignorant or self-deluded would claim otherwise, or try to defend their pathetic "religion." By their very act of protesting, they demonstrate this truth. Islam is about terorrism, is about bullying and harassing people until you get your way or get what you want. Islam is against freedom of speech and freedom of conscience.

The only reason why half the world has fallen to Islam, including dhimmi Britain, is because of cowardice, dhimmitude, soft racism against whites/Christians/conservatives, self-hating liberalism, grievance and guilt mongering, as well as flawed "hate speech" laws that punish people for speech that would otherwise be protected in the U.S. People have for too long been unaware of the true threat that Islam poses to all free nations, to society itself.

This is why I approve of conservative websites like Jihadwatch.org. In addition to exercising free speech and our right to criticize Islam, we expose the horrific truth about Islam. I don't even need to start talking about female genital mutilation, honor killings, and other jihaddic atrocities. Conservative websites do a fine job of reporting and detailing the true nature of the death cult.

And of course, the retard dhimmi liberal claims there is "racism against Islam and Muslims," and makes up words like "Islamophobia" whenever they encounter conservatives unwilling to submit to the unconstitutional speech code of political correctness. In addition to the fact that Muslims are not a race, "Islamophobia" is a weasel word probably invented by CAIR to try to intimidate critics into silence by calling them names.

Legislators who have the balls need to stand up against Sharia. Sharia must NEVER be implemented in the U.S. The FIRST thing they will do is outlaw freedom of speech, and make it a crime punishable by death to criticize Islam.

Just once I wish one of these lawmakers would ask the kuranimal protesters about sharia law and rape.

If a kaffr woman is raped by a kuranimal is it okay to NOT try the case under sharia or will they protest if the victim wants it tried under American law (for obvious reasons)?

How about if a vagina virgin is raped by a kaffr? American law or sharia?

How about theft? If it's a kaffr that steals from kuranimals? What if it's a kuranimal that steals from a kaffr?

And who decides if these crimes are tried and punished under American law or sharia? Who will enforce sharia?

At best they're asking for two sets of laws. At worst they're trying to stop us from trying to prevent sharia being forced on non-muslims.

Do they only want personal, private matters to be tried under sharia? If so, what's the big bruhaha about? The law makers don't care about a husband and the angels cursing a frigid wife. As there are no American laws covering such trivial personal matters (us uppity kaffrs can work out such silliness amongst ourselves without having to make a spectacle of it in court) What they do care about is sharia being used against non-muslims.

Why do the kuranimals care? No one cares. Personal, religious matters are private and not brought to the civil courts. Catholics and Jews do it all the time...amongst themselves and not against people of other or no faiths.

Do all of these kuranimals really think we DON'T know that sharia does indeed apply to ALL people and not just them?

There should be a law in every free country that states that any ideology that considers peace to be an obstacle to its objectives is unacceptable in any way, shape or form.

The would screw Islam for good!

"People have this idea that Shariah is just chopping people's hands, but Shariah is a way of life for us," said Arshia Shah, a lawyer originally from Britain who now lives in Sparta and came to the Capitol with her husband and two daughters. "It's prayer. It's how we deal with our spouses. And to tell people that they can't practice this - that they're doing something wrong - is a great concern."

EXACTLY you moron... Hello? You're in America now! Sharia is NOT praying, it's religious law and it's also Neanderthal in it's prospectus. True Americans refuse to accept sharia, true Americans move forward with love and tolerance.. Is that so hard to understand? If it is, then go back to krud-i-stan or wherever you came from!!

Isn't it sneaky how this lawyer came from the U.K. where sharia is encouraged and allowed, and now tries to facedown American courts? Why did Tennessee back down and whitewash the bill anyway?

The funny thing, is the liberal idiots who push for "tolerance" and "multiculturalism" and try to inflict chilling effect on others through the unconstitutional speech code of "political correctness" would be the first people to suffer under a totalitarian system of Sharia.

Once Sharia became implemented in a Western nation (I believe we can already write off Britain, or at least Britian is on the path to extinction) swarthy North Africans, Arabs, Pakistanis, and others, lusting after impressionable white women, would conspire to rape them, and since Islam is against women's rights and beliving the woman to be inferior to the man both physically and mentally, believes that a woman must have four male witnesses to corroborate accusations of rape, or else she's assumed to be fabricating false accusations. Only in Islam do they punish the victim. If a woman is unable to conjure up four male witnesses, she is guilty on two counts: for having sex outside of marriage (adultery/fornication) and for making up a fake story about rape because she felt guilty about having sex outside of marriage.

This allows all manner of subversion. What if there were three male witnesses but not four? What's the difference? Why should it matter if there's one witness or two or three or four? What if all four males took turns raping the female? Islam truly is a misogynistic culture of controlling women and children, no wonder it breeds suicide bombers. It is a cult of male chauvinistic domination, where the father has to control his spawn to get results. Islam is truly evil, and anathema to a concept of a free and civilized society.

The most shameful thing of all is liberal P.C. and open borders policies have completely destroyed Britain and turned it into the capital of Eurabia. There was a time not long ago that Britain ruled much of the known world. In the future, due to demographics and liberal policies that punish "hate speech" such as conservatives challenging Islam, Muslims will take over Britain entirely, and they will re-conquer the world in the name of Islam, and they will use British naval ships to do so.

"She should not refuse him even if she is on a camel's saddle."

The camel's saddle must be islam's equivalent of the back seat of the Chevy.

ha....Chevy van...

From Daniel Boone's raccoon skin cap to traditional islamic skull caps, Tennessee is getting awfully regressive with the head gear.

"People have this idea that Shariah is just chopping people's hands, but Shariah is a way of life for us," said Arshia Shah, a lawyer originally from Britain who now lives in Sparta and came to the Capitol with her husband and two daughters. "It's prayer. It's how we deal with our spouses. And to tell people that they can't practice this - that they're doing something wrong - is a great concern."

Emphasis mine. Notice how he says "it's how we deal with our spouses," which translated through the truth filter means: that's how they control, abuse, and intimidate their women to conform and submit to Islam. Sharia allows a man to deny a woman food because she refused to have sex with him whenever and however he wants it, at all times of the day. Sharia allows a man to beat his wife if she is "disobedient" or acts "independent." Sharia of course assumes that women are physically and mentally inferior to men, and so must be controlled and coerced into doing their bidding.

You know who I pity the most? The brainwashed young Muslim females you hear about who are all like, "The burqa/hijab/niqab is not an instrument of my oppression, it is my liberation!" HAH! Dumb broad has it backwards. Islamic treatment of women enslaves and oppresses women, and the hijab is a symbol of women's oppression. Their belief goes that women must be "covered up" head-to-toe so as to "not arouse" the impressionable young men. Instead of punishing men for rape, they punish women for being women. They assume that all women are sluts, adulterers, and fornicators. Instead of putting the responsbility on men to control their urges and not rape any female wearing shorts, i.e. freedom of conscience, they assume that all females are by nature disruptive. In other words, does not the Koran both implicity and explicity state that women are sex objects, and because they are sex objects, they must be covered up head-to-toe?

And don't get me started on the retardation and dhimmitude of the Anti-American Left. The lefties are all like, "oh, it's just their culture, in Saudi Arabia women have to cover-up, it's just a thing that they do." Implicitly, the liberal says to criticize Islam = racism, and of course they'll cry "Islamophobia" and use the Race card simply to silence, stifle, suppress, and intimidate civilized opposition into shutting up for fear of being branded "racist/bigot/Islamophobe."

Western society is superior in every way imaginable to hellholes under Sharia law. In Western society we have freedom of conscience. Just because some Western women might choose to dress "immodestly," does not make them sluts who are "disruptive" upon men because men cannot control their urges. In Western society, we punish rapist men, we don't punish women because they dressed too "provocatively" and thus invited rape upon themselves.

I'm putting my money on all these so called moderate muzzies, knowing exactly who the terrorist organizations really are, and who the terrorists are, and it is now needed that islam, and its manual is to be designated a hate promoting organization and book, and labeled a terrorist organization, to be banned, since the official orders, incumbent on all members actually are:

I will cast terror into the hearts of the Infidels. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. 8:12

I read a Swedish website telling about riots in Göteborg today. There was one comment submitted by a social worker which (comment, I mean) JW's may find interesting, because it's applicable generally, not only to Sweden:

"Unemployment among young people is high in this country, around 25%. That is regardless of whether they come from ethnic Swedish or “new Swedish” families. I am tired of all these explanations about socio-economical grounds etc. In theory, it’s just as easy for a gang of young native Swedes to start setting cars on fire, cause trouble and throw stones at police. Why isn’t it happening, then? For the simple reason that Swedes have moral boundaries which don’t let it happen so easily.
Hmmm… Do I have prejudices for writing something like that? Am I a racist? Xenophobe? I an neither this nor that, I just state what I see in my everyday job.

I have worked 10 years as an assistant in a special institution which deals which “problematic youngsters”. 8 of 10 young people whom we try to help are from immigrant families. They BRAG about all these fires and stone-throwing. Often it’s about revenge to policemen for persecuting somebody for robbery or similar in the places where they dwell. These youngsters want to mark their territory and make it clear for law enforcement institutions that it’s the area where no law-and-order forces and ”svennar” (= perjorative name for “Swedes”) in general are allowed to enter. That’s what countless youngsters from immigrant families proudly recounted to me themselves! That being said, my job also includes examining the situation in the family. It turns out that their social background is of no importance in such cases. What IS important, though, is the wide-spread negative attitude and racism toward us Swedes. I lost count of how many times I was called ”svennejävel” (=“bloody Swede”, but much more rude) at work…"

This is America under seize, right here.

The battle that will define our generation is being fought in the public space and in law courts. The outcome of this battle will determine who wins in the end.

In fact, wars in faraway places are inconsequential for the our victory. Its the home front that actually matters.

This is America under seize, right here.

The battle that will define our generation is being fought in the public space and in the law courts. And not many people are aware of this. The outcome of this battle will determine who prevails in the end.

Muslims sense that if they get favorable legislations passed, and the block the ones that impede the Islamicization of the US they will eventually overcome America from the inside by immigration, high birthrates, conversion, and intimidation.

In fact, wars in faraway places are inconsequential for victory. Its the home front that actually matters.

"We want Tennessee to be a shining image all across the country. Bills like this just make us look like we're witch-hunting Muslims."...

If they want it to be a shining place, then ban barbaric sharia for all times. As for witch hunting the Mohammedans are specialists.

It takes Muslim teerorists to be anti-terrorism laws; if they love justice and peace for everyone, why would they want to prevent anti-terrorism laws? Wow, these Muslim fanatics and terrorists think they're already the MASTER of the US - simply evil!

CORRECTION: It takes Muslim terrorists to be AGAINST anti-terrorism laws; if they love justice and peace for everyone, why would they want to prevent anti-terrorism laws? Wow, these Muslim fanatics and terrorists think they're already the MASTER of the US - simply evil!

Oh, and btw, when they spew comparisons to "hate groups", why is it only white "hate groups" they mention?

What about, say, the Black Panthers?

Opposing terror is very, very "Islamophobic."

I am so sick and tired of these "Peace loving freaks" holding rallies every time we free americans and canadians trying to protect ourselves and our freedom. I'm grateful we don't have an Obama to kibosh any laws we try to enact. When are we all going to mass together to fight against these muslims, it's time we fought fire with fire before we are in the big mess like the UK and Europe. Lets stop being tolerant, these evil entities aren't we are at war and it's time we fought back. God love you Robert Spenser and all who stand with you in the fight for us.

"The United States of America is known for its freedoms, known for due process, known for a fair system, and to be able to have a few individuals in a state of panic create this kind of risk to civil society is just inappropriate."

What's the problem? Isn't going through the courts and apparatus of state 'due process'? I guess for him it's the wrong apparatus and the wrong kind of state.

As for 'risk to civil society'? Terrorism isn't?

The arguments are plainly the mark of the supremacist, cossetted by dhimmi politicians and shocked that the infidel masses are now catching up.

The laughable contradiction is that within the lands these people come from there is minimal freedom and they have to toe the shariah line or suffer the often grave consequenses.

They expect that we infidels will also bow at the feet of our on message governers, media and authority, you know the RoP crowd who'd have us believe that this is all our fault.

Unfortunately for Muslims, such is the servant of Allah indoctrination, they'll never really 'get' the West.

I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that they really don't belong here.

They're here to leach and tag on to our wealth creation and that's it.

No real affiliation, just take and take. And inch by inch whether by terror, lawfare, and a constantly irritating cicada whine impose salami slice shariah.

Here in the great state of Oklahoma, the voter approved (70%+) referendum against the influence of sharia and foreign laws in our state court system is being held up by Vicki Miles-Lagrange, a federal liberal activist judge, on grounds that muslims claim it infringes on their religious rights. It's very telling that they want sharia to be able to influence our court systems. How in the world can any country's judiciary exist with parallel legal systems in place; one system for one group and another system for another group? All muslims, from so called "moderates" (IMO "moderate muslim" is an oxymoron, they don't exist)desire sharia to be the law of the land. If our state and federal judiciaries refuse to acknowledge this, the people must stand up and refuse to allow it to happen. We must become even bigger, louder activists than these islamists. This is America, if they wish to live among us they must adopt our legal systems and all the rest of it. They must pledge loyalty to this nation, this includes a way of life which does NOT include the sharia. If they do not assimilate they can leave. I am very concerned about the path this current administration and our gov't is on in regards to dealing with islam. I believe that the people (Patriotic Americans) are the only ones who will ever be able to put a stop to this insanity.

This makes perfect logical sense. Since Muslims are the only terrorists (the stuff about the KKK is a blind, since the latter is practically non-existent), it only makes sense that they'd protest such legislation.

America is no place for Muslims

Muslims have no place in America

A religion that is based on killing anyone it likes

a religion that kills its children for any reason

a religion where women are treated like cattle
has not place in America

Muslims need to live in an Islamic sociaty

They would like to make America and Islamic socity
