So more of "since this happened then it invalidates anything else", gotcha. We totally didn't destabilize the nation's where these radical groups have laid their foundations, you're right.

To be fair, few members of those groups are committing atrocities and crimes against humanity with such a high frequency.

Sharia Law is man-made lunacy not divine revelation in any sense.

I am just going by what muslim women activists are telling us because they know best as to the real scoop.
Most of the religious retards are committing crimes against common sense so they can pack their s*** up and go. Fair is fair.
Or, we can try to adhere to the Constitution.
Does anyone here really want sharia in the USA?? Even if only implemented in majority Muslim communities??
Read the goddamn Quran and tell me it's even remotely comparable anywhere in the Western Hemisphere and then make your argument.

Being stupid or lacking common sense isn't a crime.
Blowing people up, driving trucks into crowds of people, or gunning them down in the name of their religion is.
Like I said, you are giving them power by acknowledging them as terrorists. Stop doing that. Just arrest them when they act up. Stop fearing them, and they'll go away. Terrorism is just a cry for attention.

No you are going by whatever source you can find to agree with your opinion says. I can easily find a source of Muslim women saying the exact opposite, but you wouldn't post that because it doesn't agree with your biases.
The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) has concerns about such a move. We see no compelling reason to live under any other form of law. We want the same laws to apply to us as to other Canadian women. We prefer to live under Canadian laws, governed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which safeguard and protect our rights. Although the judicial system is not perfect, we know that there are mechanisms for change. Because some believe that Shariah is sanctified by divine authority, it is not as easily subject to change. We are also concerned that, in deference to their religious beliefs, some Canadian Muslim women may be persuaded to use the Shariah option rather than seeking protection under the law of the land. In 2003, Women Living Under Muslim Law (WLUML) completed a research study entitled "Knowing Our Rights: Women, family, laws and customs in the Muslim World." The study looks at 15 countries that apply Shariah law and demonstrates the various understandings and implementations of Shariah and how these affect women. There is no agreement among Muslims on the laws of Shariah. For example, some countries where Muslim law is applied, such as Tunisia, have interpreted the law as limiting marriage to monogamy, while others, such as Pakistan, allow polygamy if the first wife agrees. In some Shariah schools of jurisprudence, inheritance laws favour males, a husband can divorce his wife leaving her without legal recourse, financial support for wives can be for a limited time period, granting of alimony is questionable, division of property can ignore women's interests, and child custody can be given to fathers according to the age of the child. There is also ongoing debate about the static or evolving nature of the jurisprudence and its adaptations to the realities of today's world. Sharia is not divine law. Although it is based on divine text, the Quran, the injunctions were interpreted more than 100 years after the death of the Prophet Mohammad by jurists in different countries who themselves insisted that these were but interpretations. Shariah is a vast, complex system of jurisprudence; it is interpreted differentially in different countries and we question how, why and by whom it will be implemented in Canada. What will be the role of the arbiters and what will their training be in a complex and variant system of law, and who will ensure the competence of the individuals who serve as jurists?
