Schools of Islamic Law and Their Differences

Then, of course, you have large numbers of Muslims who are only thinly observant by following a handful of well-known laws. This was certainly the case in Indonesia when I lived there, though I understand fundamentalism is growing now.

Importantly, I don't think we even know what we mean when we use the word fundamentalism. When I was working in America, I became friends with a refugee family from Indonesia's Aceh Province. They were die-hard Islamic fundamentalists who had been involved in trying to establish an Islamic state in Aceh. To escape persecution/prosecution by the Indonesian Government, they'd fled into Malaysia, from which they'd been accepted into America as political refugees (and warmly embraced by the local Latter-day Saint community).

This family despised the 'soft' Muslims who make up the majority in Indonesia, which they derisively called 'Hindunesia' -- suggesting that Indonesian Islam was too mixed with older layers of Hinduism (and Buddhism, to be honest). Hard-core, right? These are people who wanted Sharia to be the law of the land in Aceh. Who despised any form of religious mixing or syncretism.

The second-last time I visited them in their flat, it was December, and they had a Christmas tree up and decorated.

The last time I visited them in their flat, the wife had just given birth to a new son, and they had invited their male Latter-day Saint friends to come give him a name and a blessing.

Quote

In the last several years we have seen hysterical reactions of public school administrators and teachers to students bringing bibles to study during lunch breaks, wearing the cross on a necklace, engaging in casual conversations about Christianity and many other innocuous expressions.  On the other hand, there are many classroom sessions in which students get to wear the chador, practise moslem prayers, dietary experiences, etc, all in the name of "multiculturalism".  They even have them say a prayer that commits them to Islam.  I have read of a few colleges that have set aside special rooms for ritualistic cleansing (some kind of basins) and prayer spaces.

I agree. The First Amendment (issue here is the separation of church and state) seems to be ignored for Muslim and overly used against the Christian. However, this does nothing to lessen my statement on Sharia Law in the US having any legal binding authority.

Most of the government establishment only pay lip service to the Constitution.  They run circles around it.  The Obama Administration had numerous moslem activists with several having ties to Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR and other terrorist organizations. 

Okay.

All three of your "prongs" have been breached numerous times in the last few decades.

Okay. 

First, they are not my prongs. Second, just because the First Amendment is violated by one sect and overly enforced against another does not invalidate my statement on Sharia Law. It would take an act of Congress to amend the First Amendment (any amendment). Because it is ignored by some communities and perhaps in some Muslim neighborhoods it is practiced, then it is practiced illegally. 

However, i will work on staying up with current news events.

Those special rooms are called prayer rooms. You'll find them in shopping malls and airports all around the world. Anyone of any religion is allowed to go in to those rooms and pray. Unless you are against the idea of prayer in public spaces, there is nothing to worry about.

As for sharia becoming the law of the land in America, the odds are probably better for FLDSism to become the law of Arizona or Utah. So again, nothing to worry about. The only religion with a real shot of becoming law in America is Christianity. If that doesn't worry you, then you really don't have much of an argument.

I've sat and observed/prayed in a few prayer halls. Its an interesting thing.

Of course it is mostly Muslims in there, but in every single case, when I've gone in, those labels fall. It doesn't matter who you are or what religion you profess. Its the sort of feeling you get when you are in the temple. We've left the bustle of the world and are all in here praying to God. Nobody cares what religion you are in a prayer room.

Its odd that many who lobby for prayer in schools are opposed to prayer halls in schools.

I would like it to be easier but the issue is complicated. I don't understand why it costs a fortune for spouses of Americans to get visas to stay in the country. I think work visas need to be easier for the poor and uneducated to get that would someday lead to a permanent status. Most of my illegal friends arrived with a visa and then overstayed and never went home. There is no way to track and enforce our current laws. As of January of 2018. there is a backlog of 311000 asylum cases. This is one reason, the country has decreased the number of refugees being admitted. We have a new family in our ward from Venezuela. They are here legally with a pending asylum case. How could anyone with a conscience deport anyone back to Venezuela right now? Legally, they can not work yet. It is so hard for them. I wish more countries had stable governments so this wasn't such a huge problem.

SR might have different viewpoints, but I have no problem with Muslims coming here who fully intend to live under the constitution and laws of the United States. However, I see many aspects of Sharia law which are fundamentally at odds with the constitution. Freedom of religion does not mean one gets to avoid all the constitutional rights of others. Many Muslims who have come here in the past have done so to avoid persecution. Persecution from whom? And do we want those same persecutors to be able to freely come here now? A good constitutional criterion for coming to the United States is that those seeking citizenship will follow the constitution over their own religious beliefs such as killing those who choose to leave their religion. We have already seen cases of this in the United States.

Only as an under-prophet to Muhammed who they view as the way. In other words Yeshua is not the way - Muhammed is. Further, their view of Yeshua is one as taught in spurious and gnostic texts. They believe that the Jesus of the Bible is the highest sinner possible in that He equated Himself to God, which is committing the sin of shirk.  There were lots of other Yeshuas in His day. It was a common name. Theirs could have been any of the others and may as well have been...

One of the refugees I worked with came from Iraq where he worked with the US army. Because of that the Taliban was after him and his family. There are similar stories from Afghanistan.

But it isn't all the same story. We have Muslim refugees coming in from Syria, Burma, Malaysia and many other places. Some of them are not recognized by the governments of their origin and weren't allowed to stay. Their stories are varied.

Yes. I'm one of the few people out there who'd probably be comfortable with open borders and common hemispheric markets.

I understand though that that's politically unfeasible, so I'll settle for much easier access to work permits, and a reasonably short and easy path towards permanent residency. Politically, immigrants also need to be visibly paying into the system (they already do, but not everybody gets this), so I'd be fine with an inclusion fund based on a modest tax on immigrant wealth and/or income. Funds from this would go to projects where immigrants make up a disproportionate part of the population. I'm also fine with values tests prior to citizenship, with greater benefits accruing to citizens than permanent residents. The gains made by moving are still so astronomically high (between $15,000-$20,000/year for a low-skilled immigrant to the United States) that garnering support for immigration via the distribution of gains to immigrants would be fine for me.

The first sentence/paragraph is my ideal. The second paragraph is my pragmatic idea for immigration reform.

I'm with you.  If people in all these countries are Heavenly Father's children then that makes them my brothers and sisters so it makes sense to me to be open to working with all my siblings and not just those in the boundaries of my country.

The implication is that anyone who speaks up about Islam and its more radical fringes is a conspiracy theorist or kook. Further, they must be like those who unfairly maligned the LDS faith like Eber D Howe did in Mormonism Unvailed [sic].  Eber Howe really started the whole Spalding manuscript fiasco by printing Hurlbut's affadavits, and was apparently responsible for making up a story about another manuscript while hiding the first from the public, which only turned up years later in his personal effects after his death. It's a completely unfair smear against Spencer. I believe the reader should read Spencer's works and decide for themselves if he is some demagogue. He pulls stuff directly from the Islamic materials comprising Sharia law. He will teach you about the various schools of Islamic thought. I'd say his books provide important insights into the Islamic World. I'd also say it is true he tends to take a hard-line view of Islam - he is not going to promote the golden age of Islam - but then that is long gone, and what there is now exists after another thousand years of Islam. Nor is he going to teach you about the Indonesian version of Islam. When one actually reads what is in the Quran and the Hadith, I think it is like unveiling Islam. It's a lot different from what you will hear from the typical Muslim on the street corner. The thing is the typical Jew is not going to pull out his Torah and try to stone someone for fornication. Maybe the orthodox would favor that. So a lot depends on how the text is interpreted in the present, and that varies within Islam. Some Muslims are very peaceful. The late Nabeel Quereshi was a Christian convert from the minor Ahmadiyya sect of Islam. It does not follow interpretations of the Koran and Hadith favoring war and killing. But Spencer will probably tell you this too. 

On 9/25/2018 at 8:23 PM, The Nehor said:

The fear of Sharia Law in the United States and Europe is spurred on by demagogues. Muslims consist of 1% of the United States population (and not all of them would support such a change) and somehow they are going to supplant our legal system and replace it with theirs unless we are vigilant and careful? Please....

There are a few Muslims that practice Sharia within their own communities but this is akin to non-binding arbitration. LDS used to do something like this for members where Bishops would judge disputes between members and issue a judgement but it was also not legally binding. This is not a threat either.

Basically all true, but it is like you are arguing against the wind. I didn't say any of this stuff. I didn't imply that America is in danger of Sharia law taking over - nor did I imply that refugees are terrorists. It's almost like you are inferring that I am like one of these demagogues. I am only responding because of this. I do believe that there is a danger that some Muslims immigrating to the United States will try to live Sharia law for themselves. For some their interpretation of Sharia as God's law supercedes our constitution. People like this will just bypass the courts. If the Hadith says to kill those who leave Islam (which it does) they believe their duty is to do it. An example would be Anjem Choudary who I believe is now in an English jail. I don't think that dude has any business becoming an American citizen. All one has to do is listen to him to know how many levels of the constitution his Sharia beliefs and teachings violate. Should we ask questions about whether folks like this are going to abide by the constitution if they want to come to the United States? If that makes me a "demagogue" then so be it. There are cases of this already in the United States. There are also cases of female circumcisions of minors. They didn't try to get legal permission to do this. They just get their own Muslim doctors and do it knowing it's against the law of the land. Why? Because Muhammed said it in an hadith.

Quote

As to who they were fleeing.....some from Israel, a few fled from the Palestinian relocation camps, persecution in nations where they are a minority (India, a few others in Asia) and others just from regular secular conflict in their homelands. Refugees are rarely terrorists or a threat. For one thing the refugee process is insanely rigorous. It is easier in basically all cases to just get a visa to visit.

Again nowhere did I even infer that refugees are terrorists. Rather, I said they often come here to escape persecution. Yet, you turn it completely around in your little speech. If you want to make your little speech fine, but don't pretend it's in response to me. You aren't teaching me anything I don't know. What I asked was do we want their persecutors to freely come here? They are much more likely to be bad citizens than the refugees.

Hopefully, you will be as sympathetic to Christian refugees of the Islamic State of Iraq, which exists largely because Obama pulled out of Iraq. Where was the United States when Turkey pushed out about a million Armenian Christians after WW I? As for who the refugees are fleeing? Ironically it is largely due to the horrible policies of Barack Obama that Libyan and Syrian refugees are fleeing their homelands. After denouncing the involvement of the US in Iraq, Barack Obama backed various Muslim rebel sects favored by the Muslim Brotherhood in those countries which had been relatively stable and peaceful. Libya was becoming one of the most prosperous African nations, and Muammar Qaddafi had renounced terrorism and destroyed his WMD. Now it's a war-torn battlefield. Where is the outcry? The major difference is instead of sending American troops to fight, Obama just spent billions in weapons and air strikes free of charge to his Muslim Brotherhood friends. So spare me the bleeding heart liberal speech. For being a president who ran on a platform of ending war, his massive military spending speaks volumes. War funding actually went up over Pres Bush, and now there are millions of refugees because of Islam (and Obama).

Lying to yourself and others to foster hate is a diabolic impulse indulged in by people who imagine they are fundamentally good:

“Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred”  - C.S. Lewis

They are wicked people.
