U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a "militant terrorist situation" that has allowed Islamic religious law to take hold in some American cities.
Her comments came at a rally of tea party supporters in the Nevada resort town of Mesquite last week after the candidate was asked about Muslims angling to take over the country, and marked the latest of several controversial remarks by the Nevada Republican.
This makes me like Sharron Angle all the more. I am seeing a lot of signs that the U.S is moving towards Islamic values. For example Sesame Street not airing the segment with Katy Perry because some angry viewers thought she was showing too much cleavege.

Is this a serious post?
I mean, I know the Katy Perry and cleavage story. But I have never heard it was because of 'Islamic values'?? I've heard it's because Americans are typically uptight about sexuality...I've heard christians are offended...these things have always been this way since the beginning of the country's findings and well before. They are because we were a strong puritan country.
Never ever heard its because the US is moving towards Islamic values before? Just plain weird to hear that.

What the hell did that have to do with Muslims?? Hell the main people who were pushing for the segment to be taken off the air was the PTC (Parents Television Council) A conservative Christian group

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw that. I don't think there is a 3 year old in the country that noticed what she was showing. heck they see much more in the neighborhood grocery store every day..

i don't think he said that: he said, the country is leaning in the same direction. Of course it had nothing to do with Islamic values directly. Either way, I am certainly a Christian, somewhat fundamentalist and I just thought the entire thing was a joke.

Oh, I think he did mean to claim that the Katy Perry flap was a sign of Islamic influence. Otherwise, why would he like Sharon Angle more because of her statement? You say Jay meant "Islamic values" in the sense of fundamentalist religious values having a say in our secular lives. Sharon Angle is most certainly in the camp believing that we need more religion in government. She has made numerous statements advancing a role for fundamentalist Christian ideas in our laws and government. So if one were concerned about the encroachment of "Islamic-like (i.e. fundamentalist/theocratic, but not necessarily Islamic) values" taking hold, one would not like Sharon Angle.
Don't know about covertly taking over but several countries like Austrailia and Great Britian, among others, have issued mainstream concerns of their laws being tainted with sharia.
OK proposing law to ban implementation of sharia law
