		<description>You think that pointing out Jim Crow laws (which were faulty and were fixed) somehow justifies the fact that under sharia law Muslims and non-Muslims do not have the same legal status?  Strange. </description>

		<description>There is no need to try to make excuses for Hamas.  They are what they are.

		<description>The reasons for the jumping up n down, clapping, and hooting n hollering was the 911 attacks on America which had just occurred.  They were even throwing candy. 
 
A handful?  The streets were full of people.  It made Palestinians look so bad, that is why that woman needed to come on TV and &quot;explain&quot;   
 
Praying for our men and women in uniform is not only the right thing to do (whatever religion you are) - it is nothing like discussing how to dominate the world, so why did you make that comparison?

		<description>Actually, Hamas never imposed Islamic law in the Gaza strip, this is despite the fact that thousands of Palestinians have been pressuring them to do so. They have even crushed groups that have attempted to enforce Islamic law while attempting to create an &quot;Islamic Emirate&quot; in the Gaza strip. 
 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/15/hamas-battle-gaza-islamists-al-qaida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/15/hamas...&lt;/a&gt;  
  
Here is an interview with the head of Hamas, outlining his opinion on these matters: 
 
KL: Does Hamas impose Islamic dress in Gaza? For example, is it compulsory in Gaza for women to wear the hijab, niqab or burqa? 
 
KM: No. Intellectually, Hamas derives its vision from the people&#039;s culture and religion. Islam is our religion and is the basic constituent of our culture. We do not deny other Palestinians the right to have different visions. We do not impose on the people any aspects of religion or social conduct.

		<description>One public relations woman speaking on American television is the &quot;real&quot; Palestinian reaction, as opposed to crowds of Palestinians in the streets on the day of the attacks?    
    
You bring up one tiny little group of outlandish people in something called &quot;True Christian Church of Christ&quot; as evidence of something? No one has ever heard of them before!    
   
  I&#039;ve been looking over that website - IT&#039;S A FAKE!  lmao!  They won&#039;t provide an address, you have to be over 18 to look at the &quot;kidz page&quot;  It has all the cliches...  THE WEBSITE IS A FRAUD!   
    
You claim that the well documented news photographs I showed you are forgeries? They are not, you should know better.    
    
The domination of the world by Islam theme is a very common theme among Muslims. How could you pretend to not know that?    
    
You obviously would like things to be a certain way, but often it is not the reality. </description>

		<description>Eagle, Shariah law isint a set Legal Code of laws. Shariah law refers to any code of laws that is based in Islam. Hence, this is why Shariah Law is very different in every Muslim country. You can&#039;t open the Qur&#039;an and find a section called &quot;Shariah Law,&quot; why? Because there is no legal code specified in the Qur&#039;an.  
 
In anycase, it is true that Shariah law can be implemented in such a way as to make Muslims and non-Muslims unequal. However, any legal system can do that, just look at the United States up until the 1960&#039;s with Jim Crow. However, Shariah law can also produce a corpus of laws that is so progressive that it would make us &quot;enlightened westerners&quot; blush.  
 
So in reality, its up to the people implementing the law to come up with a legal code that fits what they think is just and right.  </description>
