MO Republican says Sharia Law is just like polio
<skip>

During the call, he offered support for a bill sponsored by Rep. Don Wells, R-Cabool, which proposes changing the state constitution to block courts from making decisions based on foreign laws - specifically Sharia law, the religious code of Islam.

Saleem, who now practices Christianity, said that Sharia law should not be allowed in state courts because it is restrictive and oppressive, and that it discriminates against women and homosexuals.

Wells took a similar stance, if a less subtle one: That Islamic law is a dangerous influence on secular judicial proceedings.

"This is to protect the people of America," Wells said of his bill.

He went on to compare Sharia law to a disease, like polio. Rep. Jason Kander, D-Kansas City, stopped him to confirm.

"Sharia law is like polio?" Kander asked.

"Absolutely, as far as I'm concerned in this country," Wells responded.

1. A Question To These Oxygen Thieves...
I'd love to find out if these are the same asshats who believe the U.S. is a "Christian Nation".

6. The sharia is indeed quite foul but I am not sure whether more people have died under it or by polio
Attacking Wells' beliefs is actually a side show. The sharia should be judged on its on features (I won't call them merits). Read it for yourself and see what you think.
