Bigoted Repubs embarassing Fascist Party Posted by greenman on March 14, 2026, 12:13 pm Valued Poster No surprise; Trumpism has given these scum the OK.. https://www.axios.com/2026/03/13/anti-muslim-posts-republicans-censure-mike-johnson-house House Democrats' effort to censure two GOP members over Islamophobic social media posts is poised to put Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in the hot seat after he declined to condemn the remarks. Why it matters: Recent violent attacks in Michigan and Virginia have heightened partisan tensions on Capitol Hill. Democratic leadership is coordinating with rank-and-file members on efforts to censure Reps. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) and Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) for a series of anti-Muslim posts each has made over the last several weeks, Axios' Andrew Solender reports. "We need more Islamophobia, not less. Fear of Islam is rational," Fine posted to X Thursday. The comments from Fine and other GOP lawmakers prompted swift outrage from their Democratic colleagues. Driving the news: Johnson declined earlier this week to directly condemn Ogles' past anti-Muslim comments when reporters asked him about them at the House Republican retreat. Instead, the speaker defended members' right to oppose what he called "the imposition of Sharia law." Ogles posted on social media Monday that "Muslims don't belong in American society." Fine previously wrote, "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." What they're saying: The speaker said he personally would not have phrased the remarks that way but argued concerns about Sharia law in the U.S. are legitimate. "The demand to impose Sharia law in America is a serious problem," he told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. Neither Ogles nor Fine differentiated between Muslims and Sharia law in their posts. Johnson added he had previously spoken with Fine and Ogles about "our tone and our message and what we say." "When you seek to come to a country and not assimilate but to impose Sharia law … that is the conflict that people are talking about," Johnson said. When you don’t understand ‘Sharia Law’ because you’re half-educated moron…this is the result! SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!

I am curious... Posted by Skye on March 17, 2026, 9:12 am, in reply to "Bigoted Repubs embarassing Fascist Party" Valued Poster Who and where is this demand to impose Sharia Law in America? And how is it different from the demand to impose Christian or Jewish law in America? I'm sure there are extremists in every group. And the extremism often comes from the same "holy book." Maybe THAT is the problem. I don't hear people like Johnson complaining about the Christians who want to post the Ten Commandments in front of every court house... and then follow up on the "biblical law" regarding adultery, or keeping the Sabbath day holy, or penalties for worshipping idols..... or a thousand eyes for one... oh wait.

Sharia is an imaginary threat. Posted by greenman on March 17, 2026, 3:27 pm, in reply to "I am curious..." Valued Poster The Jews have religious ‘law’ applying to believers, too. Again, not a threat to American law. Evangelical Christianity IS a threat to our laws and Constitution, which it seeks to subvert. Organized religion is, IMO, always a threat to freedom. SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!

You state: "Sharia is an imaginary threat." Posted by TW on March 18, 2026, 1:57 pm, in reply to "Sharia is an imaginary threat." Valued Poster Then you subsequently state: "Organized religion is, IMO, always a threat to freedom." Sharia law is a monumental belief of an "organized religion". That being the case, your first statement is at odds with your last statement. I suggest you do an internet search on: "sharia law in europe" for additional information. You'll find it is making progress in many countries there. Limited, but that's just the first of many steps Sharia law will undoubtedly pursue. Like many efforts by many entities, an inch at a time will suffice. Particularly when they don't even merit an inch.

It’s relatively simple to explain Posted by greenman on March 18, 2026, 3:15 pm, in reply to "You state: "Sharia is an imaginary threat."" Valued Poster Sharia isn’t significantly present in America, and cannot supersede American law (or couldn’t, when our government still followed the Constitution). Therefore, while Islam (the religion, not Sharia, that religion’s principles of guidance) can be a threat when it is the majority religion of a country, it isn’t, really, when it’s not. Do you have a church with doctrines , principles and rules? A Council of Elders, maybe? Sharia is like that. Many in your religion voted for Don Trump, and want America to be a Christian country and follow Christian doctrines. Isn’t that at odds with your beliefs about Islam? Maybe you should think more about what you’re saying before you engage in target practice on my posts, TW. Just a thought. SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!

It is imaginary that they'd manage to succeed, yes, but their willingness to inflict terrorism upon Posted by Sia on March 17, 2026, 3:52 pm, in reply to "Sharia is an imaginary threat." American people BECAUSE of their belief in Shariah law and the Koran is NOT imaginary. Most Muslims here do not embrace the belief that all of us "infidels" deserve to die but enough do to have concerns about homegrown and international terrorists.

Absolutely, Evangelical Christianity is the biggest threat here Posted by Sia on March 17, 2026, 3:43 pm, in reply to "Sharia is an imaginary threat." ADMIN

I don't think that demands for Sharia law is even remotely a huge group here Posted by Sia on March 17, 2026, 12:32 pm, in reply to "I am curious..." ADMIN However it IS a huge demand by terrorists, and hardliners who hide here, who have high hopes that they will succeed.

How does that work? Posted by Skye on March 17, 2026, 12:55 pm, in reply to "I don't think that demands for Sharia law is even remotely a huge group here " Valued Poster If there are terrorists hiding here, whether they are demanding extreme religious laws or not... THEY should ALL be deported. You could say that we have terrorists here who want women who've had abortions to be tried and executed for murder. And many of them are not even hiding. They are actively working to change the laws.

Of course they should be deported. Good luck finding them without a fully functional FBI, CIA, etc. Posted by Sia on March 17, 2026, 3:22 pm, in reply to "How does that work?" ADMIN trump and his minions have decimated all of our DOJ agencies and then some, particularly the FBI and immigration programs looking for Middle Eastern terrorists. They are after the soft targets.

Disgusting and disgraceful. Posted by Sia on March 15, 2026, 9:42 am, in reply to "Bigoted Repubs embarassing Fascist Party" ADMIN
