Sharia Scaria 2

A notable characteristic of Republicanism is a singular lack of self-awareness.

It enables and informs the hypocrisy.

Although this column is about a month old, it points this out starkly.

North Carolina state legislators introduced what was described as an anti-Sharia law bill this week. The concern was a religion would trump our laws—threaten our constitution. This religion, they fear, would dictate our rights and punish dissent. It would blur the lines between church and state! Women would be subjugated! This is such a threat North Carolina lawmakers must act posthaste!

Then with absolutely zero appreciation for irony, the state senate amended the bill to quickly and somewhat secretly restrict access to legal and constitutionally-protected abortion. Why?

Their religious convictions.

Do read the rest.

    Amazing what one man can do. This is almost all Frank Gaffney. He’s literally spent much of the last two years on the road talking to Teahadist politicians in the red states about how they have to stop shariah from overturning the US legal system in an environment of the complete lack of evidence of such.

    These folks clearly don’t read the same Gospels as I do.

     

    They worship the Jesus of Leviticus.
