“Result is America is now more Sharia compliant than before the Attacks”.
Our government has stabbed our great troops in the back. Because if the political aspect of Islam is not addressed here at home, them fighting overseas will mean little in the end.

>> political aspect of Islam
We are building a tyranny in America based upon the primacy of an individual’s health as subordinate to general public health superseding all other concerns.
Next, as MADD proposes, virtually alcohol free public zones around the country.
Another tenet of Sharia imminent.

Wait until they see the carbon tax added to the registration fees at the department of camel vehicles.

True, but Camels got short tails so the license plate don’t hit ‘em in the head unless they’s asleep at the hump.

Saddam enjoyed a good cigar and Western movies. Apparently he was the only man who could run this country.
If he could have avoided the rape rooms and murder he would be on OK guy.

Do the politicians have nothing better to do?” asks Abu Yasser, as he takes a drag while filling up his car at a petrol station. Yikes, not the best scenario in which to argue for smokers' freedom.
On the other hand, if he keeps doing that, it could make quitting smoking very quick and easy for him. :=)

And when they come over to the USA and happen to be pump attendants (even in self serve areas) they sometimes forget the safety rules are different here. One such fool approached my car several years ago with the result that I bought only 27 cents worth of gas (I took the nozzle out and screwed the gas cap back on in a flash).

He needed his strongmen because no matter how nice a fellow is over there, someone is waiting to stab you in the back for some reason.

You hallucinating again? Where’d I say that.
There is no reason to fight Islamists and Jihadis, we have a lot in common, we can start with a common front against tabak and then move on to other things.
You have to admit that the tenets of Sharia have a lot to offer the USA.

Are you saying a democratically elected government can't regulate cigarettes? Why is that? Are you saying a democratically elected government can't regulate abortions and the slaughter of unborn children? Why is that?
