Do muslims respect it as the law of the land OR do they (rightly under their religion) see it as only "man's law" and shariah as the law of god (allah?)



I can say now that many people here will dismiss the link I added simply for being from an outlet they disparage without even taking a look. I challenge them to watch it regardless- if you claim to have an open mind, back it up by watching the video and tell me what you saw.

I saw a strange mix of varied opinions from the interviewees, and the tired talking points of the echo chamber of america's right wing. Only one interviewee said that sharia should override the constitution and the rest said no. They also brought on a moderate muslim and proceeded to run a verbal train right over him. they also brought up the same old argument that obama is a muslim (PRATT).

you could see it in the poor guy's face too. he's thinking 'oh god why did I even bother with this?'

you asked us to be open-minded about this, which suggests that we should be open to accept any new ideas put forth by the video. I haven't seen any new ideas, but rather; points refuted a thousand times.

so what you're really asking us to do is believe in these assertions without question. I don't think that's going to happen.

I have to admit though, that was one of the better segments done by fox news.
