Social-Cons are scared to DEATH of Muslims. Why?

Why are the social cons scared to death of Muslims?


The argument typically goes like this...

"Well the Muslims are going to come in here and take over once they get enough people to vote themselves into office and then they'll institute Sharia Law and turn us into a Muslim nation... just look at the problems France and other European countries are having"


Thoughts? Ideas?

Their talking heads on the radio and TV fearmonger until it seeps into their skulls.

Multiculturalism (forced immigration) and democracy is not a good combination... it never ends well. One group will use the government guns against the other and vise versa.

As for Sharia Law coming to America; people need to worry about Marshal Law first.

Oh Brother Matt... why you do this?
Simple.

Social NeoCons are also afraid of Freedom.

 

[sratiug]

Anyone who claim to have the "word of God" written down is a God damned liar and very dangerous.

 

[RedStripe]

Social conservatives are afraid of anyone who might upstage them in the game of "who can be the most repressive, backwards people on the planet?"

Social NeoCons are also afraid of Freedom.

Alright , out of curiousity , how would you define a social neo con ?

Propaganda works on the simple-minded very well.

Politics of fear need their boogie men, dear. That can be commies or Jews or Mexicans or Muslims or who knows who too. What really matters, in all of their pratters, is that the badmen are nothing like you. So stay in your houses, lock up the kids and spouses, and let nobody in. Unless he says he's Republican. Now go to your churches and learn all your verses- so you can be righteous too!

You are correct Marshal law or sharia law are going to be unpopular now matter how you slice it , but the former could more easily happen.

A fair share of Muslims unfortunately live in the 6th century. I'm not a social con but I can clearly comprehend the distaste. Running around crying "jihad", covering up your women from head to toe and killing homosexuals in broad daylight, isn't exactly going to win one respect points in the realm of western civilization strata. Let's be serious here. Is the venom directed towards Islam over the top? Absolutely. Is this distaste unfounded? Of course not.

 

[1000-points-of-fright]

I thought I cleared this up last month.

Marshall Law

Martial Law

killing homosexuals in clear daylight, isn't exactly going to win one respect points in the realm of western civilization strata.

How about under cover of darkness?

Sadly , this does seem to apply to the Saudi and Iranian leadership. Any citizen anywhere should be wary of them. That said , there are plenty of other places ( most ) that this is not true . Education is the only way out of anything . Maybe someone should expand on all the other countries that are not like that.

Ibaghdadi can give some examples if he has time.

Another problem is lack of concern from Muslims who aren't of that stripe. They are relatively silent about such matters.

They are not. Or ever have been. This is a meaningless statement.
Anyways, the moslems who are in the US are hardly a sample from those cultures. They tend to be highly educated and have a very low crime rate or divorce rate etc..

So this is not about a fear of people who come with "those traditions". It is as Ron Paul put simply an irrational fear. A phobia. It's bigotry.

Responding to the original question in this thread, it's good to note that often hysteria has a nugget of truth in it. After all, it's not just US socons who are worried about Muslim assimilation, the FRENCH are passing every law they can think of short of driving every Muslim out of the country. While we can debate methodology and attitudes, there's sufficient evidence to suggest that a Muslim voter base would try to institute their own way of doing things much like liberals, socons (and yes!) libertarians would if they had the votes to do so. In fact, historically that is exactly what happened (when votes were soldiers, of course!), what the Qur'an can reasonably be assumed to teach (Qur’an:8:39 is a juicy nugget) and what Muslim leaders are calling for today. In fact, trying to ignore such evidence can be considered just as crazy in my book!

Seriously... Sharia law, come on, only two nations in the world have complete Sharia law.

That is correct.

Although , Somalia will be half way there any day .
