Cross-posted from Frontpage Magazine
Documentary film-maker Eric Allen Bell is an out-spoken opponent of the mosque project in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Originally a supporter of the project, he went to Murfreesboro to make a film. Over time, as he saw who was involved in the project, he turned against it-at great personal risk to himself and his career.
In this just-posted article for Frontpage Magazine, bell describes the inroads that Islamists are making into promoting the idea of sharia law in America-and why it has no place in a free and democratic society such as ours. For those of you who think sharia can never get past our Constitution, read this article.
There are also those who say, “Why not just allow the local Muslim communities to practice sharia, at least when it comes to civil affairs? After all, it won’t affect the rest of us.”
Sorry. Every citizen is entitled to our protections-including Muslim Americans. If a Muslim woman or girl (like Rifqa Bari) turns to our courts for protection, she cannot be turned away. What if a Muslim gay or apostate asked a court for protection? Should they be denied that protection because they were a member of a religious community? Did we not act to protect minor children from abuses carried out by the Warren Jeffs religious sect?
C’mon all you feminists and gay rights groups! Where are your voices on this?
