tennessee: Bill Ketron proposes law to make following Shariah law a felony

[spanone]

A proposed new state law would make
following the Islamic legal code known as
Shariah law a felony, punishable by 15
years in jail.

State Senator Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro,
introduced the bill, known as Senate Bill
1028, last week. A House version of the
bill, House Bill 1353, was introduced by
House Rep. Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma.

The bill claims that Shariah law is a danger
to homeland security.

“The threat from Shariah-based jihad and
terrorism presents a real and present
danger to the lawful governance of this
state and to the peaceful enjoyment of
citizenship by the residents of this state,”
the bill reads.

I'm officially proposing all TN DUers get together and do something about these right wing nutjobs because I'm sick of them in my state. Their a complete and utter embarrassment.

6. Christian fundamentalism is a much bigger threat than Sharia law

I have a feeling this fuckwad has no problem imposing his Christian views on others.
