We cannot allow that sort of law to exists in our nation. I'm glad to see that John Tanner is backing this as I imagined he would. Sharia Laws is in direct opposition to our United States Constitution. I did a google search on Sharia Law. We cannot allow that sort of law to exists in our nation.

I am more concerned about those who advocate violence as the tool to make changes. Peaceful advocating a change to our law does not bother me because there is no chance the Sharia Law System can be legal under present constitutional law. We have enough trouble executing murderers found guilty and who have exhausted all their appeals because of the cruel and unusual punishment clause. How could we ever actually cut off a hand for stealing a loaf of bread? And why is the Congressman so concerned with immigrants? Would it be legal for a native born citizen to advocate including the Sharia Law System, but not an naturalized citizen? Has the Congressman given any thought to the equal protection principle? The Sharia Law System is not a clear and present danger; Terrorist are a clear and present danger regardless of their religious view point. The Congressman should find a better way to use his time and forget about controlling peaceful advocacy.
