While I was recuperating from a broken back, neck, and various other bones and nerves damaged I’d wander around the world on Yahoo Messenger. I had regular pen pals in England, Australia, and one in Tehran, Iran.
That was 2001, months before 9-11.
Talking to someone in Iran was unusual because it was a closed society. She hated Muslim Arabs, calling them ‘pigs,’ and her revenge against covering her head was to use only the finest French silk scarfs.
Long story short, I began to study Islam to understand Iran and its culture. I had known several Iranians in the 70’s, meeting them at college prior to the Ayatollah. Very nice people.
After 9-11 air travel became restricted and I rebelled against creation of the TSA. Why punish all of us for what Muslims and their god Allah did? Just do what the Israelis do, and that is to interview Muslims for security risks–or, as I recommended, just ban all Muslims from air travel altogether.
In this blog I quote from the Koran, and cite U.S. INA statute. One statute I skipped was the one barring peoples from cultures, societies, that practice polygamy. Islam practices polygamy as a religious tenet and while it is illegal in the United States they hide it under Sharia law. If caught practicing polygamy, the law requires denaturalization and deportation. But liberal courts, relying on birthright citizenship, have refused to accept State Department enforcement of the law! Sound familiar?
Here is the blog. Now, just about every conservative politician is raising hue and cry over Sharia law and how it should be banned, or there ‘ought to be a law.’ Well, the law already exists–liberal judges just won’t allow it to be enforced.
