HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Some 15,000 Muslims are expected to attend a weekend convention in Hartford dedicated to religious freedom, part of a nationwide campaign against what organizers describe as overwhelming bigotry and hatred.

The theme for the annual convention of the Islamic Circle of North America is "Defending Religious Freedom, Understanding Shariah." It was chosen in response to bills introduced in more than 20 statehouses around the United States to ban the use of Shariah, the Islamic system of law, and other foreign legal codes.

The Islamic Circle of North America wants the freedom to usurp, indoctrinate, and manipulate using political correctness as their fulcrum. No surprise they found convention space in Hartford.

[BitWielder1]

Their idea of "Religious Freedom" is awfully one-sided.

If all they do is go back home they can celebrate Shariah law all they want.

Their only risk is that some of the attitudes they picked up from American culture will lead to their getting their heads chopped off!

This is because they firmly believe that Islam is the only religion, that no other religion is legitimate, so deserves no consideration or respect. And neither do the adherents of those other religions.

In truth, they should be called “Islamic supremacists”, which more correctly describes their attitudes and behaviors.

Could this be the same Islamic Conference of North America that was named as an "Unindicted Co-conspirator" in the Holy Land trial?

And could this be the same ICNA who's President Dr. Zahid Bukhari has been a guest of our Islamic-Jihadist-Appeaser-Defender-Supporter in Chief (Dear Leader) at the Iftar Dinners at the White Hut?

Naw couldn't be.

Nuttin to see here; just move along all your Islammaphobes.
