250,000 Muslims being brought to US Soil? Is this true?

[The King]

Can you hear the tapping of membership keyboards frantically searching Google for "sharia law"?

[Maddhattter]

Im not a religious but im dam glad we have a lot of christian value laws on the books. Dont murder. Dont steal. etc etc

None of these are "christian value" laws. In fact, it's been illegal to murder and steal in virtually every country and every religion ever. These values predate all known religions and existed long before christianity ever showed up in most places of the world.

In fact, according to sharia, it's illegal to murder & steal under hudud. So, it seems that you're not wholly opposed to everything sharia has to offer.

The code of Ur-Nammu predates Jesus by over 2000 years. It's the oldest written legal code that is known to exist. It notes that anyone guilty of thievery or murder shall be put to death.

But Jesus didn't give the Commandments...

Ur-Nammu predates Moses by 500+ years. If you believe in world history as it's taught at least.

But it is legal, in fact encouraged, to kill all the infidels if they won't pay the bribes, become slaves or convert to Islam!

Something about the dark ages and christianity being drug kicking and screaming into the modern era.

Something about devout Christians in the 1990's killing Muslims wholesale in the Balkans, or the Catholic church endorsing fascism and ethnic cleansing in the 1930's.

Well of course. I'm probably not wholly opposed to tons of religion based rules, which are put into practice throughout the entire world. That's probably anyone on this site. As for christian values, they're still christian values, like it or not. They may also be the values of a forgotten cult from 10k years ago, but thats not really relevant to todays discussion.

Murder I agree with and so does most of the U.S. See the death penalty for reference. When it comes to thievery, iirc christianity says forgive but also something about upholding the law. Maybe a christian can chime in on that one.

I like how the leftys around here think its the devil (no pun intended) when its a bunch of guys who knock on your door and try to sell or give you literature. When theyre arguing with people who oppose mutilating peoples genitals, cutting off peoples heads and hands, suicide bombing people, etc etc insert crime against humanity here. Leftys are fvcking stupid lol

I agree. So, basically, it's not sharia that you have a problem with. It's a few of it's tenets. Sounds a lot like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

As for christian values, they're still christian values, like it or not.

Just because christians hold these values don't make them christian values, nor does it make the laws "christian value laws". So, this is irrelevant.

It is relevant when your stated position is an unsupported assertion that the laws of our country are founded on the basis of your religion.

I don't see any of that here. I only see the people you claim are "leftys" opposing your ignorance, and resultant bigotry, as a justification of your position. I don't disagree that people's genitals shouldn't be mutilated, up to and including circumcision. I don't disagree that people shouldn't have limbs removed unless medically necessary, that suicide bombing is a bad thing, etc. What I disagree with is your position that the problem is islam, and not individual muslims yet, when christians to crazy things in the name of christianity, you'll gladly claim it's just some disturbed individuals and not the religion at fault. From what I can tell, that's the only thing anyone has argued with you about in this thread. I must congratulate you on your strawman, though. I'm sure a lot of people would think you made a valid point when you knocked it over.
