Pastorius,

Finally someone has the guts to stand up to the Saudis and enforce the first amendment's establishment clause when it comes to Islam.

Yes, finally someone is setting out to defend us against Islam on Constitutional grounds.

That's how we will, ultimately, win.

Pastorius,

Unfortunately in the long run even this might not do much good, if Obama ends up putting enough justices on the benched that don't respect the constitution. We can't always relay on the courts to do their job.

Nice spot pasto.

Sam Marcosson is out of his mind.
"We weren't thinking of religion when we bailed out firms who adopt religious lending with govt money"?

That's an argument?

More Law center does some off the wall shit, maybe this will stick.

The real problem is that with KSA money into Fox, even they won;t publicize this story

One of the lawyers involved in this law suit is David Yerushalmi, who was also involved in the recent law suit against CAIR - the law suit which resulted in CAIR's getting served papers at their own banquet. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Epa,
AOW makes a good point here. Fox didn't help Yerushalmi with the CAIR suit, but he won that. The courts are still, to some extent, interested in enforcing the rule of law.

Let's hope More can pull this one off, because, in my opinion, they are absolutely correct.

Couldn't agree with you guys anymore than I already do on this. Lets keep our fingers crossed, and hope the supreme court makes the right decision.

I dont think he is going to win.
Eventhough most people think wow Sharia.. But in reality if you compare it to current finance laws, you will see that you are being protected as an investor and as a buyer of Insurance. We spend so much money on Insurance and it is wasted for Companies like AIG.
In Sharia people's money is being protected. The main problem that we have today which we live with in the usa is the problem of Interest.
I know many of you hate me, but If there is someone really that is not biased and looks at what the sharia finance law protects both parties. It does not take advantage of Investors or Buyers. If you chose to keep your insurance.. fine.. but you end up being used and you end up defrauded...

Anonymous,
You are making your point by referencing your dislike of interest. Expressing dislike is not presenting an argument. It is expressing an opinion.

And, the issue here is whether or not it is Constitutional for the government to invest in companies which promote Sharia which, as a body of religious law, is a religious endeavor.

You can love Islam all you want, as I love my religion, but I understand that the government can not prop up my religion with investment.
