....because that would be Politically Incorrect.  Someone(s) may actually be.......offended......*gasp*

There are no serious attempts to impose Sharia Law in the US.
Russia annexed Muslims long ago, in the time of the tsars.
They separated themselves from the other republics that are Muslim: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan in 1991.

There is no reason for our president to make some dumb statement about Sharia

Had no idea sharia law was an issue here in the U.S.

Had no idea sharia law was an issue here in the U.S.

Putin's point is primarily about ASSIMILATION.

As far as sharia...it's not a huge issue here yet.
it would be if more Muzzys were here
that's the way the Muzzys work.
they are patient and slow
Muzzys only make up a very small minority in US at this time
that's what Obama is trying to change
and data shows in many countries as Muzzy population grows so do the problems.
you don't always wait for a problem to present itself before you address it.

Sharia Law is not any sort of an issue in the US.  Most majority Muslim countries do not have Sharia Law. Most Muslims do not want it, either.
The ignorance of the typical American redneck about Islam and Muslims is abysmal.

Not only do they not know shit, when they go for a stroll with Stupid, Stupid is the one wearing the "I'm with Stupid" shirt.

and then once again there is reality....

Reminds me i read somewhere islam was the fastest growing religion in the U.S. Until 9-11 happened. I remembered some christian groups even tried to bring sharia law as a way to protect thier children. Just pointing out muslims had a better chance before the attacks.

I think that a person who becomes a Muslim anywhere is a drooling idiot, especially in this country.

I doubt that these polls are in any way accurate.
Most people are poor. Some well-dressed guy with a microphone or a clipboard and a poll sheet comes around taking names. and of course, they are going to claim that they are like everyone else.  Most Americans will tell a poster that they are Christians even though they have not been to a church in years.

What a bigoted thing to say.  Ranks right up there with how Blacks couldn't have managed in this country without the help of those liberal whites

I doubt that these polls are in any way accurate.

You know, its amazing the power of opinion you have, where in 1 breath, any and all polls that paint Trump in a negative way....or Cruz....or Carson....or Republicans, are all to be accepted as gospel.  Yet anything that dares paint a negative light on Clinton, Democrats, Obama, or the failure of his policies, just "can't be accurate".  And this power you have in knowing what someone is going to tell a pollster.  It's amazing to watch

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia_law

  This would be something like asking a Christian whether Laws should reflect a Judeo-Christian ethic.

Although a lot of Countries have ethics based on Judeo-Christian tradition, none are using the bible scriptures as actual law.

 There aren't any countries that use Koranic scriptures as law with no amendment. The whole fight is about how much or little the requirement should hew to a Sharia mark.

In other countries , this isn't our business , as long as it isn't made our business by attack.

Within our country, we have better alternatives.

Where there is more Sharia than here , can they point to better success in some respect?

Most Christians would claim, if polled that they endorse the Apostles' Creed
The English Language Liturgical Consultation (ELLC) is an international ecumenical group whose primary purpose is to provide ecumenically accepted texts for those who use English in their liturgy. In 1988 it produced a translation of the Apostles' Creed, distinguished among other things by its avoidance of the word "his" in relation to God. The text is as follows:[23]
15th-century Flemish tapestry illustrating the first four articles of the Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

But, if asked, they do not actually believe that they are going to get their bodies back when they die.
According to Revelations, you die, ten you stay dead until Jesus returns. Then you get your body back.
Those fed to the lions will apparently be reconstituted from lion turds.

Most Americans believe in THEIR church, not any united Christian (holy catholic) church, either.
I think similar attitudes are held by Muslims with regard to Sharia Law.
If their teenage daughter gets arrested for shoplifting earrings, I am pretty sure that they would not agree to amputation.
