I took the time. I googled criminal record for waco shooters. I googled arrest record for bikers arrested in waco. I googled list of people arrested in Waco. Of the people I found, they had criminal records.
Ok, so, US constitution, would you agree that it allows for freedom of religion, yes? And it certainly would recognize Islam, yes? Yet, at some point, subordination of women, acceptance of slavery, things that should be, were, ostensibly, be OK under our laws in our native faiths, (I say that not to be provocative but just to observe what is and was) we do limit practice of faith to some extent and do so under constitutional grounds and should presumably, do the same with Islam, yes?
Consider Texas. Had the two guys out for blood over the cartoons succeeded and lived, it would have been an interesting trial, agreed? Under sharia they would be acquitted I would think because of the insult to the faith. Further, if you spend some more time googling ( I don't suggest doing that as an insult or disdain for backing up my points. I suggest it in conversations based on the idea that research I've done for myself, or you for yours, that is pretty easy stuff to find is a better way of persuading for your point or mine. Then, truly disagreed upon points can be dealt with after a lot of the easy points have been learned by either party) you can find lots of straightforward arguments as to why sharia is unconstitutional, the most glaring being that our system says the law can be what we, the people, say it is even it it is unconstitutional if enough of us agree to amend the Constitution whereas Sharia, as understood, it seems, my Muslims, is the perfect literal word of god and the one and only truth and that man, let alone women, may not alter it.
So, for our conversation, lawlessness, I'm arguing that Islam is against our laws. That's not to say that, like Christianity and Judaism and Catholicism it can't be welcomed given subservience to the Constitution but that, I am pretty sure, is anathema to most Muslims and is why we have problems with them; they take their faith a lot more seriously than we do.
