Sharia Law in Michigan

Why is there a double standard for Muslims vs. the rest of us infidels when it comes to sharing our faith? Now, we would expect this to be the case in Pakistan or some Middle Eastern country. I'd mention Saudi Arabia, but such activity would be illegal there. So much for tolerance.

However, ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about the good ole USA. That's correct, right here in America, Christians were arrested for passing out Christian tracts in Dearbornistan, the largest Arab community in all of North America.

Yet, Muslims were permitted to pass out Islamic literature at a Minnesota fair. Now, I have no problem with them doing so because we are a nation which grants freedom of religion. But, shouldn't that apply to Christians who represent the large majority in America as well as to Muslims who are a paltry 1% of our population? Is Sharia law already being enforced in Dearbornistan?

Read from Atlas Shrugs:

Why weren't they arrested?

"Back in June, four Christians were arrested in Michigan for passing out leaflets at an Arab festival. Remember this? The Christians were arraigned and are being represented by the same brilliant legal team that brought my free speech lawsuit against Detroit, the Thomas More Law Center.

Yesterday, Muslims were proselytizing and passing out Islamic leaflets at a fair in Minnesota. The AP plays it this way: Muslims Take to Minn. State Fair to Repair Image (hat tip Her Royal Whyness). The police did nothing. Why two sets of rules for Muslims and non-Muslims? The sharia (Islamic law).



So based on that - why weren't these Muslims arrested?

Muslims Proselytize at Minnesota fair


FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. – 'Despite the smells of fried dough and roasted meat wafting from the Minnesota State Fair, Salim and Zuleyha Ozonder were focused on the people who were leaving, not the food or festivities beckoning from across the street.

Each time a new wave of people exited, the young Minneapolis residents — who hadn't eaten all day — tried to press into their hands a small, glossy card that read "Islam Explained" on one side. On the other, it had about 180 words of background on a religion whose adherents fear is being misunderstood by too many Americans as violent and depraved.

"You just want people to take the card, spend a minute reading it and say, 'Oh. They're not terrorists,'" said 27-year-old Zuleyha. She and her husband, like other Muslims, were fasting during daylight hours for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

For most fairgoers, the last thing on their mind is religion — particularly the renewed controversy over Islam in America amid tension over plans for an Islamic center and mosque a few blocks from New York City's ground zero. But volunteers with the Minnesota chapter of Islamic Circle of North America saw the mostly white, Christian fair crowd as just the type of audience that might benefit from greater understanding.

The "Great Minnesota Get-Together" is one of the largest and best-attended state fairs in the country. Every day for 12 days through Labor Day, hundreds of thousands of people stream onto the fairgrounds north of St. Paul to scarf highly caloric food, stare at farm animals, clamber onto carnival rides and enjoy concerts by country singers and classic rock dinosaurs.

"What are they doing here?" said Paulette Kahlstorf of Zimmerman, who declined a card from Zuleyha as she left the fairgrounds with her husband. "I didn't come here for that."

A minute later, Kahlstorf elaborated that she didn't have a problem with all Muslims: "Just the radical ones." And she said she didn't mind their decision to hand out the cards, which include a toll-free number that anyone can call to request a free copy of the Quran.

"You know, I guess we let all the politicians come out here and schmooze, so we might as well let these folks as well," said Kahlstorf. "Doesn't mean I need to listen to them."'"
