OPINION:
There’s no question the First Amendment should not apply when it comes to enforcing Shariah, Islamic law. It is threatening the world under the cover of religion. We are a nation of laws - and abusing women and honor killings are against civilized laws.
Extremist Islam is foreign to our Constitution and an abomination to humanity, and it should not be subject to the protection of the First Amendment. Before the American Civil Liberties Union can take up a suit on behalf of extremists, I would ask that it fight as hard against Shariah as it has done against the display of the 10 Commandments, crucifixes and the American flag.
Solicit your members of Congress to stand together to introduce legislation banning Shariah law from our shores, especially since the Islamic center mere hundreds of feet from the site of the World Trade Center was given a green light.
