WhiteManistan and the creeping menace of Shariah
When the Republican Party moves on something it can never contain it’s burning desire to attack everything it hates, across the board.
I’ll leave the coup which turned Michigan into a right-to-work state to others.
Close on the heels of it is another bill, GOP authored, to curb the menace no one can see but the far right.
From the Detroit Free Press:
A Muslim rights group has urged Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to veto legislation designed to block use of Islamic law in the state should it reach his desk.
A House bill to bar use of “foreign laws that would impair constitutional rights??? was on Tuesday’s House agenda. Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, sponsored the bill, which doesn’t specifically mention the Islamic legal code called sharia. However, the bill’s supporters have said they are concerned about the use of sharia spreading …
Pure and simple, it’s a bigot’s bill, another part of the Republican Party’s obsession with getting after people they hate.
And, nationwide, it has been common in red states since the election of Barack Obama, pushed by persistent lobbying by Islam-o-phobe groups in Washington, often associated with Frank Gaffney.
“The question now is whether Michigan Republicans can find time to deal with a nonexistent Shariah takeover when they’re so hard at work crushing unions and curtailing women’s rights,” comments a piece at Mother Jones.
It would be almost funny. But when you’re laughing the Republican Party, even though a minority, always manages to ram through toxic
legislation at the local level.
The creeping menace of fluoride sharia — from the archives.

If Satan was real, he’d look a lot like Frank Gaffney.

I used to occasionally wonder where all the money comes from to bankroll the lobbying organizations that work this nationwide. For example — radicalislam.org — is a shop that massages these things at the level of the state legislative houses with their e-mail newsletters and such. And it’s the same weird plutocrats who bankrolled Mitt Romney and the rest of the Tea Party crazies. This is how they spend their spending money. By comparison, John McAfee looks harmless. He just spent his money on cheap Belize prostitutes, guns and partying in his jungle homes.
