Antifa can go fuck itself. They've done nothing but make liberals and progressives look bad. They don't represent us and are most likely funded and created by right wing.

I agree. Right now progressives look like rioters who only want to cause damage. All they want to do is hurt people, not help them. Our party leaders aren't doing any better. They propose no solutions and in some cases heap praise on the antifa. It's time our party is returned to the people.

We should find out who these antifa protesters are and where their money is coming from. Smashing window and starting fires isn't a regular paying job. Someone is funding them.

Before you leap to the defense of sharia law, maybe you should do a little research. They are less friendly to the LGBTQ community than the Catholic Church and women are subjugated to men. Not a progressive view about an individual's rights and they are even more intolerant on freedom to choose than some in this county.

#3: So where in America should we be worried that Sharia law is going to take over?

Any religious law is complete garbage and has no valid place in a democratic society. This includes (more prevelantly) Christian themed morality laws.

This anti sharia movement is thinly veiled Islam a phobia plain and simple. Freedom to practice whatever religion you want is a right, sure, but as an atheist and a pragmatist, I side with the sentiment. These aren't harmless, self imposed laws like kosher or levitical laws. They're intrusive and if you think they're harmless, ask yourself how gay children must have felt in this country under the morality laws of yore. Trapped, voiceless, afraid.

Tolerance for oppression has no place in western society. Sharia is a familial and communal structure that was designed to curry blind obedience. You're values are your own to choose until they intrude on others rights to live and choose as they see fit. They should prosecute any harm done to citizens and children by these laws the same as they do the assholes who try and pray their kids cancer away.

Berny5: in 2014 the department of justice said they had documented 20-30 cases of honor killings in the US and that they think the actual number is much higher. Generally, those that commit this terrible act cover up the death as an accident.

The Detroit Free Pree recently reported about two doctors who were arrested in Michigan who had performed this procedure on over 100 girls. Less than half of the states have a law that prohibits this procedure.

Sharia law has taken over for the women and little girls hurt by these acts.

FYI: I agree with you that we can and should protest these acts that occur all around the world. Millions of people live in oppressive societies that rob women of the rights and dignity. Those women have no idea what it is like to live in a free and open society like ours here in America. If America had stood up for those protesting during the Arab Spring, maybe the Middle East would not be the complete mess it is now.

Please wait...
