Sharia Law & American Declaration Independence

This is a clip from Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf on HIS view regarding the American Declaration of Independence and Sharia Law.  According to him, America is a Sharia compliant state.  Not sure why his audience laughs when he shares his opinion because I believe he is quite serious that American Declaration and Sharia law go hand-in-hand.  This clip is a bit chilling to me, as a woman, as an American and as a Christian.  He states his beliefs so systematically, so precisely, charismatically and yet so alarming!  SCARY!

For the record, I am not anti-Muslim but I am against some of the behaviors that some who interpret the Q'uran say are ok.  I believe God loves all of us and we are to love as well.  Many Muslims too reject the teachings of wife beating, raping, murdering, anti-Christ teachings, pedophile, Muhammad's ultimate gold (according to their god, allah) to bring peace by converting or murdering people like me, my family and my friends.  The distinction has to be made between individual people what a "group" of people say or do.

Once Muslim communities are established, they start to seek and demand that their practices are observed regardless of the practices of their current area.  This means Sharia (Koranic Law) and Islamic practice.  To read more about what is Islam and distinctions between Muslims, Christians and Jews and what does all this Islam stuff really mean to you, go to: Wildolive

Don't Question the President

Last week, a local reporter from WFAA here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area was one of four reporters invited from across the US to go to the White House and each would be given a seven minute interview with the President.  Brad Watson is a very calm and cool reporter and I have never seen him get excited or rude to any person he has interviewed but he is always direct and to the point.

Well apparently, the current leader doesn't like his authority question.  This is an interesting topic to me because if a person is threatened by a question, it naturally implies they have an issue they don't want discussed, addressed or uncovered.  Think about it, questions only get us upset we don't want to answer - for whatever the reason.

Teachers are asked questions ALL the time and  can you imagine them responding with chastisement to the student JUST for asking a question?  Now if the question is personal (as in a student/teacher relationship) or the question is none of their business (again speaking from the student/teacher relationship) then I can see a person how a teacher could be withholding of information but this reporter was invited to ask questions of the President!  Of course there are boundaries that are considered respective and proper but I don't feel Mr. Watson crossed any of these boundaries. He was trying to get an answer to his question based on facts he was presenting that inferred there was "more to the story" than the President wanted to address.  He was just trying to get to the truth and not just a "canned" sound-bite.   Seems to me the reporter was just doing his job but this leader is threatened when people don't just "drink the Kool-aide" and follow along with the "pided-piper".  He doesn't like his agenda questioned at all!

A closing thought is that this administration PICKED the news agency to do the interviews out of HOW many stations across America?  WFFA usually leans left but deliver their bias through a very "family oriented" style so it is hardly noticed but always present.
