I pray that the US does not following in the footsteps of the UK who now allows Sharia Law in their country. My reason for concern is because of the latest news. This law is already causing the Brits major trouble. What do you think??
Military Commission Charges Dropped Against Terrorist Suspect Al-Nashiri
As President Obama prepared to order the Department of Defense's Military Commission to withdraw charges against terrorist suspect Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri on Friday afternoon, the convening authority for the Commission, Susan Crawford, withdrew the charges on her own Thursday night.
The move is being done to stop the continued prosecution of al-Nashiri in a court system that his administration may ultimately find illegitimate, not for any other reason, sources told ABC News.
President Obama has expressed concern about whether the military commissions set up by the Bush administration are the proper way to go forward in pursuing charges against the U.S. detainees, and on January 22 he asked all the judges supervising the trials of detainees for a continuance of 120 days, so a team of administration officials could review the best way forward.

Funny coming from a man whose OWN ADMINISTRATION may be illegitimate as he has never proven conclusively that he is a natural born citizen eligible to hold the Office of the President.

Whats going on with Nashiri is more a legal technicality than anything. It has nothing to do with shiria law and he charges will be resubmitted. Nearly every aspect of shiria law is at direct odds and conflict with the U.S. constitution. there can be now allowences made in our legal system for it in anyway.

I don't know what to say on this one, I don't know enough about the situation to consider its merits, I doubt the us will bring in sharah law and I certainly hope that canada never does.
