re: #73 HappyWarrior

The criticisms of Obama’s administration get more absurd by the day. I mean really you’re going to tell us that Elena Kagan wants to implement Sharia Law. I swear that element of the right’s obession with the word “Sharia” reminds me of a kid hearing a word for the first time and repeating it ad naseum.

I once taught a Modern History class in which we spent far too much time on the Von Schlieffen Plan, simply because one of my better students enjoyed saying ‘von Schlieffen’.

As far as ‘sharia’ goes, it serves a number of purposes. It reinforces the idea that all of Islam is united by one plan for world conquest. If the Muslim at your local grocery store doesn’t seem to know about this, it’s because he doesn’t understand what kind of low-down crazy religion he belongs to. (Similar to paranoia about Jews—it’s all a big world-takeover plan, but it’s possible that low-ranking actual Jews may not know about it, and think it’s a real non-Satanic religion.)

It also reinforces the idea that you can’t trust Muslims just because they aren’t violent, or even renounce violence—that’s ‘taqqiyah’, or only a tactic, or it doesn’t matter, because the religion, the real religion has this goal of imposing sharia worldwide, and the Muslims all ‘know’ that they’ll have to go along with this, whether they really like it or not.

I’ve heard all of this right here on this radical tranzi prog website, you don’t even need to go hunting the Freepers.

This is trash.
