Reply #7: They are awesome!

By outlawing Sharia Law, they are preventing anti-gay legislation, promoting equality for women, and encouraging tolerance for Jews...oh wait, no it's not! It is just another example of bigotry designed to make another group of people feel ostracized and set them apart as "the other." They passed some anti-Sharia law thing here in Oklahoma. There are what, 20 Muslims in Oklahoma?! It isn't exactly Mecca here; well, it is dry, dusty and hot, but still...

It is nothing more than fear-mongering at it's worst. With the exception of a few, and I mean a VERY small handful, Islamic nuts, most Muslims in the US are nothing more than run-of-the-mill Americans***. Personally, I feel creating this level of anti-Muslim feeling can have some serious backlash in creating persons who are more radicalized. I'd rather people focus on the Christian "nuts" as they are the ones making my life, and many others, a living Hell!
