Do Americans really want to live under Sharia law?

Retired 3-star general William Boykin told The Daily Caller that Sharia law, if implemented in some parts of America, would threaten the rights of gays and women — two groups whose advocacy groups have defended the Muslim Brotherhood.

“The left has become apologists for the Muslim Brotherhood — that includes not only the gay and lesbian movement, but it includes the women’s movement,” Boykin told TheDC’s Ginni Thomas. “It includes the Marxists. It includes the environmentalists.”

But Islamists would immediately turn and attack gays and women, Boykin warned, if they were to set up their own underground justice system to arbitrate Sharia law — as they have already done in parts of England and France.

“If we had Sharia [law] in America, homosexuality would be punishable by death,” he warned. “A woman going outside of her home without a blood-relative male would be punished. A woman accused of adultery would be stoned. And the women’s movement in America has yet to stand up and say, ‘We are not going to allow our daughters to be forced into anything that they don’t want to, particularly a forced marriage.’ And this is happening all over.”

Boykin cautioned that so-called honor killings, a feature of Sharia that permits family members to kill someone whose behavior is counter to Muslim law, are already too common in the United States.

“How many honor killings have we had in America as the result of some westernized young Muslim girl who just wants to enjoy the freedoms that every other American girl enjoys — has been punished, in some cases by death, for stepping outside of the norms of what her father’s expectations are? That’s Sharia.”

The rest of General Boykin’s interview will be online Monday morning, only at The Daily Caller.

This is the United States of America. At no time should this land be under any Law
except for that of this Nation. Any ethnic group or race of people who don't like that.
Can PACK THE HELL UP AND LEAVE.

No. I don't want to live under the mandates of Catholic doctrine either. If Muslims can't live under their own standards, why should I have to live under the standards of Catholics?

I think conservatives are very two-faced, fearing the takeover of America by Muslims while facilitating the takeover of America by Christian fundamentalists.

I don't want to live under any religious law.

@Zachary
Just because 'Thou Shall Not Steal" is a commandment, that does not mean it is put in place as a law because it is a commandment. I'm obviously not a Christian and I know stealing is wrong. It infringes upon other's rights. That's what makes it wrong. Derp.

This is laughable! The biggest threat right now in this country is Christians wanting to insert their religion into our laws. Muslims who live here DO NOT want Sharia law. I live just out side Dearborn MI and our paper did an article on just that. They asked Muslims about Sharia law, they do not want it.

And I went to school, and I say that all of the little black pixels making up these very letters are ruining the economy and challenging Christian values. Anyone can say whatever they want, that doesn't mean it has any basis in fact.

I don't recall any Americans saying that they want to live under Sharia law. Does your question have any basis in reality?

Conservatives seem to want it that way.

@Secular: Then you might want to repeal the laws that prohibit stealing. It's one of the 10 commandments "Thou shalt not steal".
