A conservative group has put together the boldest legal attempt yet to limit how Muslims worship in America.
The Tennessee group, led by Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has proposed a bill to make following some versions of Sharia law a crime punishable by 15 years in jail.
They are concerned extremist Muslims want Sharia to supersede the Constitution, but the bill would probably face steep constitutional hurdles if it is enacted.

Really? Do Koreans force their women to cover themselves from head to foot so no man other than their husbands can see them? Do Koreans engage in "honor killings" because their daughters have become "too Westernized"? Do Koreans bury rape victims up to their necks, then stone them to death for bringing dishonor to the village, while the rapist goes free? Do Koreans mutilate the genitals of their women so they won't enjoy sex?
I've never been to Korea, but I've known a few, and know a whole lot of GIs who were stationed there. Funny thing is, none of them have said squat about any of that taking place in Korea, or in Korean communities here in the States. But, all of the above goes on in the Muslim world, some of it happening right here in America.
But I guess some taxi drivers may think Koreans are "fare" worse than Arabs.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
You twist the topic to your bias. We were discussing business. You butted in with off topic trash
On another note, I bet you're the life of the party wherever you go, aren't you, Mr. Personality?

I was in the business of building things, at various locations out of the country.
I dealt with a lot of Arab and Korean contractors. The Koreans took great pleasure in cheating on contracts. For them it was just how you do business. A deal was not a deal if they could make major alterations after the fact. To think of them as crooks is wrong because that is just the way they are.
A deal with an Arab was a deal.
Wku man’s comments are completely on topic and accurate, while yours, bert, are so far beyond stupid and troll like that it’s hard to find a word that fits them. But then, that’s the way you always comment on FR.
Arabs more honest than Koreans?
You must have had very few dealings with Arab Muslims. Very few.
I dealt with Arabs for 20 years. They are serious traders and I think they like the making of the bargain rather than the completion of the bargain but once it is made, it is made.
I was able to deal with them because I am honest and a southerner.
Well, I’m glad you had good experiences with them.
The thread topic, though, is Sharia law.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I don't know. Could go either way, depending on how you interpret it. SB 1028
That is a flaw in our amendments, Freedom of Religion...
Our founders thought is so important to not allow a theocracy to form in the United States, that they set out to allow all religion as long as it does not infringe upon the government of a free people.
It is a very odd way to say it, I understand, but if one considers the governmental restriction set out in our Constitution one clearly understands that religion has no place in governing. This though does not preclude a man’s personal responsibility to his God.
Which means Constitutionally islam cannot enforce shariah law upon America. And in fact islam practiced in the manner which many muslims desire is a theocracy...and that is un-Constitutional. Muslims who are organizing to install sharia law are in fact engaged in sedition.
If you have to be punished, then so do I. Off to perform menial tasks before I make more erroneous comments.
If the mosques are preaching murder and overthrowing the Constitution, how can that be legal and how can that be called a religion? No Consitutional protection for incitement of violence.
