Michigan Action Alert on Right To Work
Posted on 12/11/2012 5:56:27 PM PST by DeaconBenjamin
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) today announced that state legislator Dave Agema's anti-Islam bill, known officially as HB 4769, may pass this week during Michigan's lame duck legislative session. (The bill is currently on the legislative calendar.)
CAIR-MI is calling on all people of conscience to urge Governor Snyder to veto the biased bill which is among those that seek to impose government-sanctioned discrimination on followers of a minority faith.
TAKE ACTION NOW (Michigan residents only. If you know anyone in Michigan please forward this alert to them.) http://tinyurl.com/ContactGovSnyder
Michigan State Representative Dave Agema (R-Grandville), whose bill is patterned on anti-Islam legislation widely circulated in the last two years, has a history of making controversial comments relating to Muslims.
In comments relating to legislation meant to apprehend undocumented workers, Agema stated, "We have the largest concentration of Muslims in the state in the Dearborn area. I know we have (sleeper) cells there. That is what I really want to get at."
Agema is clearly targeting Islam for unequal treatment from other faiths. In explaining why he feels the bill is important, he told the Grand Rapids Press, "They (Muslims) want specific laws applied to their specific groups...They do not want to be under our law."
In written testimony submitted to a U.S. Senate hearing on hate crimes and the threat of domestic extremism held earlier this year, CAIR [alleged] that legislation such as Agema's clearly has the stigmatization of American Muslims as a core goal.
If signed into law, HB 4769 would prohibit a "court, arbitrator, administrative agency, or other adjudicative, mediation, or enforcement authority" from enforcing a foreign law if doing so would violate a right guaranteed by the constitution of this state or of the United States." Current law already does this.

So this is really a anti - Shari law....if you are a Muslim
...or a anti catholic law if the Pope imposed Canon law....
.....Or a anti Jewish law if the Torah imposed it’s law....
O’ Wait Catholic or Jewish Laws don’t supersede state or federal law...
Then why should Islamic law...?

I would listen to CAIR like I would to PETA about turkey for Thanksgiving.

This is addressed to the morons of PR Newswire...
But, as with the Federal Immigration laws, what good is any law if it deliberately is not enforced?
There used to be a Dearborn raised muslim who often appeared with Walid Shoebat and Zach Anani but I can’t remember his name. I do remember him saying that he didn’t learn jihad in Lebanon where he fought, he said he learned it in Dearborn Michigan.
Wow...I may have to emigrate to Michigan!
While the national and Florida GOP is going Liberal RINO with its Rubio-Worship....Michigan seems to be actually doing something
