U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville believes that anyone “practicing” sharia law in the U.S. should be “deported immediately.”
Tuberville made the comments Wednesday during a 13-minute speech on the Senate floor alongside a poster that says, “BAN SHARIA LAW.”
Throughout the speech Tuberville mentioned that “radical Islamic extremists” were a threat to America and even stated that these extremists “want every single freedom loving American dead, bottom line
“They have proven over and over again that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to kill just one American citizen, whatever it takes and it isn’t just happening overseas,” Tuberville said. “It has been allowed to fester and is alive and well in our very own country, just waiting for the right opportunity to attack.”
Throughout the years many conservative politicians have invoked the prospect of “sharia law” taking over America as an Islamophobic and anti-Muslim trope.
In a statement to Al.com, Deputy Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Edward Ahmed Mitchell, said that Tuberville’s remarks were “dangerous hatred against American Muslims” and he could learn about Islam if he took up a months-old offer to visit a Birmingham mosque.
“If Senator Tuberville ever takes up the community’s offer to visit an Alabama mosque, he will learn that Alabama Muslims are following sharia—which means the way to water—when they pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, give in charity, and follow the laws of the land in which they live,” Mitchell said.
“Senator Tuberville will also learn that American Muslims have consistently opposed all forms of unjust violence, from terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda and ISIS, to the genocide perpetrated by Israeli government in Gaza. This is called moral consistency, and Senator Tuberville should try it.”
Tuberville is one of the most vile, despicable, turds to ever walk the face of this planet. He along with McConnell are the face of government corruption and obstruction that directly led to Trump taking power.
Uhh, what does it mean to “practice sharia law”? These laws aren’t in force anywhere in the US.
Yeah, wow. It’s not enough to keep Sharia law from ruling the land. It’s not even allowed to rule a private individual’s life by choice. So much freedom!
Under civil law, you can make contractual arrangements for things like marriage, divorce settlements and child custody that happen to mirror shari’a law, as long as they don’t conflict with state or federal law. And if that’s offensive to you, all you need to do is to change state law to make such specific arrangements non-enforceable.
Some provisions of some interpretations of shari’a are offensive to me, too. Those provisions are often not all that different from views of the Christian religious right on women’s and children’s rights.
It’s also worth noting that there’s not a single shari’a law system. It varies by sect of Islam, by which school of jurisprudence even within a single sect, and in many cases, by country too.
So the short version is that this Cleetus can’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground and should STFU.
That’s the best part! Whatever they disagree with can be sharia law, because it’s a radical leftist terrorist communist woke anti-fascist agenda. If you disagree with us you are an antifascist, which is the real fascism, and we will be forced to do fascism against you.
All they’d have is doublethink, if they could think at all.
Women are property, dissent is heresy.
In other words, Tommy Tuberville is asking Republicans to self-deport.
Turns out, lots of normal daily things are in sharia law. Can’t wait to see people getting deported because they hold a fork in their right hand while eating, are honest, wash their hands before eating, are caring towards the elderly and so on. BTW murder and theft are also forbidden, so avoiding these things means you’re blatantly following the sharia law. Prepare to be deported!
You’re asking an awful lot of the vestigial logic processes in the conservative mind
“This is called moral consistency, and Senator Tuberville should try it.”
Get his ass.
They only want to make sure that the christian version of sharia law is present and active. Christofascism. Believe in their fictional god or else they kill you and your loved ones.
They’ll kill you anyway, even if you do believe, if they don’t agree with the way you believe (like, say, actually doing anyhing Jesus said to do, like feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, providing shelter to strangers in your midst, etc).
We back on the Muslims bad train? I think they are running out of groups to hate, so they just circled back.
They’re going to try to kill and deport every single person that isn’t a white christian fascist. They they start killing each other for title of “top fascist”. That’s how this works. That’s how this was always going to work.
That’s pretty funny, Christian splinter groups like the Amish and Mennonites practice their equivalent of ‘sharia law’ and have been forever.
The Amish/Mennonites are so close to Islam that if they didn’t reject other religions so hard they would be best friends.
Well, their extreme pacifism is different than nearly all mainstream Islamic traditions.
Yeah, but they are mainly white and it’s a version of Christianity, so that doesn’t count.
I guess this means conservatives have to be deported as well since when you remove Allah and replace him with Jesus, they are doing the same shit almost verbatim.
Yes, exactly. Stop all religions. They all do the exact same fucking thing. They try to take over the world, and genocide - well that’s absolutely necessary for their hate religion to do that.
Throughout the speech Tuberville mentioned that “radical Islamic extremists” were a threat to America and even stated that these extremists “want every single freedom loving American dead, bottom line
So, clearly not a threat to him then?
To be replaced by Murica Law. Same difference.
Are they deporting themselves?
First they came for…
… themselves. They’re coming for themselves. Republicans literally want Sharia law, just with lighter complexion.
These people are so dumb.
This is like the “should we teach arabic numerals at school” levels of stupid.
Also will they allow murder and ban charity since murder is punishable and alms giving is encouraged in sharia?
They’ll only allow charity if it goes to causes they approve of, and they’ll only consider it murder if it happens to one within their in-group.
Pharisees, liars, hypocrites.
Religions are all fictional bullshit, so they’ll make up fictional bullshyit to justtiy whatever they want to do.
You think they follow rules? Because they say that they do? WTF? Don’t be as stupid as they are.
Does that include anyone?
So how long will it take for someone to find something in sharia law that is in Alabama’s state laws?
All of islam, christianity, catholcism, judiaism, and mormonism all beleive in the same fictional god. It’s all different versions of the same fictional bullshit.
They can find anything they want to back up anything that they do. That’s why they keep religions around.
