Want sharia law? Go back to where you came from.
This is America.
You don't get to barge in here and start making demands and you certainly aren't 'above the law'.

Agreed however, the OP is either unaware of the facts or biased.
The original article is from 1998.
His first source from 2006 asks this question: Did CAIR founder say Islam to rule America?
The first paragraph starts out with:
"...alleged 1998 assertion..."
The statements have been called a:
"Total fabrication". “She’s lying,” Ahmad said upon hearing Gardiner’s defense of the story. “Absolutely, she’s lying".
Ahmad said it was only in 2003 that he learned of Gardiner’s story, and by then it was too late to press any legal action.
“I would have gone there and sued them if I had known about it,” he said.
The link to the original article from 1998 isnt working, but even then, this article from 2006 says that:
The 1998 Argus article, also published in the sister San Ramon Valley Herald, paraphrased Ahmad...
So its not nor ever was a direct quote...
This entire thread is a fail.
So it seems you guys are grasping at straws to make this not real and go away but you cannot do it.
Carroll’s statement was similar to a statement allegedly made by CAIR co-founder

It would be nice if you included some facts from your own sources...
The first quote, “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” was in response to "recent House and Senate bill proposals involving the implementation of ‘anti-Shariah’ legislation, where the First Amendment rights and freedoms of Muslims would ultimately be hindered.”
And hes right but not just with regards to Moslems. Law makers may want to re-read the First Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
If Muslims seek out a "holy man" for direction, that makes him a leader.
And the nations controlled by Islam have far more extremism.
While the west has its problems, it is not nearly as bad as as Muslim controlled nations.
The nations of the west have every right to seek to prevent the extremists from invading our nations.
Others see it as an evil spiritual force at odds with the true God.
What do you think of Mustafa Carroll and CAIR? Do you support him and this organization and it's ideals?
