Re: IMPORTANT! Have Conservatives Been Bought Off on Shariah? CIRCULATE!
of course it does
rabbinical court decisions are honored by state courts in the US.

again I say ... sharia, rabbinical or any other religious legal
system should be
ignored by American courts. One law for all people.

was there any doubt that he would grant amnesty to illegals?
maybe the black community will remember what he did
Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, January 22, 2007
Racist Mexican gangs are indiscriminately targeting blacks who aren't
even involved in gang culture, as part of an orchestrated ethnic
cleansing program that is forcing black people to flee Los Angeles.
The culprit of the carnage is the radical Neo-Nazi liberation theology
known as La Raza, which calls for the extermination of all races in
America besides Latinos, and is being bankrolled by some of the
biggest Globalists in the U.S.
A story carried on the liberal website Alternet, charts an explosion
in brutal murders of blacks by Hispanic street gangs in L.A. Far from
being gang on gang violence, the Latinos are targeting innocent blacks
in accordance with a concerted ethnic cleansing campaign that seeks to
eradicate all blacks from Hispanic neighborhoods.
In one instance, 21-year-old Anthony Prudhomme was shot in the face
with a .25-caliber semi-automatic while lying on a futon inside his
apartment, slain by a Latino gang known as the Avenues as part of a
racist terror campaign in which gang members earn "stripes" for each
black person they kill.
In one typical case," writes journalist Brentin Mock, "Three members
of the Pomona 12 attacked an African-American teenager, Kareem
Williams, in his front yard in 2002. When his uncle, Roy Williams, ran
to help his nephew, gang member Richard Diaz told him, "Niggers have
no business living in Pomona because this is 12th Street territory."
According to witnesses, Diaz then told the other gang members, "Pull
out the gun! Shoot the niggers! Shoot the niggers!"
The fatwah against blacks began in the mid-nineties, with a 1995 LAPD
report concluding that Latinos had vowed to "Eradicate black citizens
from the gang neighborhood." In a follow up report on the situation in
east Los Angeles, the LAPD warned that "Local gangs will attack any
black person that comes into the city."
The author notes that since 1990 the African-American population of
Los Angeles has halved, partly as a result of rampant illegal
immigration and that there are noticeably fewer blacks walking the
streets because many have been forced to relocate in fear of the
racist gangs.
"The LAPD estimates there are now 22,000 Latino gang members in the
city of Los Angeles alone. That's not only more than all the Crips and
the Bloods; it's more than all black, Asian, and white gang members
combined. Almost all of those Latino gang members in L.A. -- let alone
those in other California cities -- are loyal to the Mexican Mafia.
Most have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the Mexican Mafia's
violent racism during stints in prison, where most gangs are racially
based," writes Mock.
Mock blames the "Mexican Mafia" for ordering the campaign of ethnic
cleansing from prison, as part of a turf war with the Black Guerilla
family, another prison gang, but fails to pinpoint the racist creed
from which the Mexican kingpins draw their inspiration - the long
standing Aztlan invasion agenda.
Aztlan's goal, known as La reconquista, is to cede and take over the
entirety of the southern and western states by any means necessary and
impose a Communist militant dictatorship. President Bush's blanket
amnesty program goes a long way to helping the extremists achieve
their aim.
Despite the fact that the majority of documented hispanics oppose
illegal immigration, as do the majority of Americans, Aztlan and La
Raza race hate groups have become the self-appointed voice for a
separatist movement that threatens a violent overthrow of the
Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic cleansing. This
is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously oppose it
is scorned as racism.
Aztlan and Mecha groups advocate killing all whites and blacks and
driving them out of the southern states by means of brutal ethnic
cleansing. Flags and placards carried at marches depict white people
having their heads cut off, as seen in the picture below.
Those that protest such groups are then attacked by the establishment
media and labeled as racists, despite the fact that the Plan of San
Diego, a rallying cry for the hispanic Klan groups, advocates total
eradication of any race but hispanics.
Mecha's own slogan reads, "For the race everything. For those outside
the race, nothing."
TV stations owned by rich white industrialists erect giant billboards
in Los Angeles claiming the city belongs to Mexico.
Mainstream hispanics who love America abhor the virulent racism that
the Mexican klan groups embrace.
And who bankrolls these pocket radicals? Billionaire tax-exempt
foundations and NGO's owned by white men. Organizations like the Ford
Foundation, groups who are zealous in their quest to eliminate the
middle class and destroy America, turning it into a cashless society,
compact city, surveillance control grid where only two tiers of
society exist - the elite and the poor slaves.
During the May immigration protests, The Aztlanwebsite carried the
following statement.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there
is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge.
Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights
and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new
political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing
Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to
elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Here is the open call for violent separatism and the overthrow of
existing state government structures.
During the immigration demonstrations, which were orchestrated by Rob
Allyn of Rob Allyn & Co. who is closely tied with George W. Bush,
alarming reports of illegals carrying out violent beatings began to
surface. In Santa Ana California, illegal aliens swarmed around in
mobs invading schools, carrying out violent beatings and in one
incident a county worker had a Mexican flag plunged into his chest.
The violent protests that began on May 1 last year were characterized
by throngs marching under Mexican flags, many of which were illegal
aliens, as a "day without gringos."
Imagine what the reaction would be if white middle class Americans
marched in their millions and called the event "a day without blacks."
The media continues to run defense for a violent militant movement
that seeks nothing less than the eradication of blacks and whites
through ethnic cleansing and the takeover of the southern and western
states. This is a separatist junta that has over 30,000 ruthless gang
members at its disposal once the call for mobilization is heard, along
with millions of illegal aliens pouring across the border.
These thugs have the temerity to call Latinos, blacks and whites who
are opposed to uncontrolled illegal immigration racists when it is
their own La reconquista philosophy that has spawned target hits in
Los Angeles as part of a virulently racist ethnic cleansing rampage.
It's a bloodlust that can only spread to other cities as the
realization of Aztlan is generously aided by billionaire Globalists
who wish to see America balkanized, plundered and destroyed.

Re: IMPORTANT! Have Conservatives Been Bought Off on Shariah? CIRCULATE!
I agree that the total concept of banning Sharia from the United
States
courts cannot take place.

sharia, rabbinical or any other religious legal system should be
