Please dont try justify criminal activities using Islam as a cover up, so what if detriot is a dangerous place? that gives right to everyone to carry guns and weapons as they please? Anyway, the post and your reply is pretty self explanitory.

Most scholars of our religion allow for Muslims to settle in lands of non-Muslims provided they are able to practice their faith.  Muslims are free to practice their faith in America.  That being the case, what is the fear of integrating, as contributing members, into American society?  Why is there a need to establish; “Sharia in the U.S for us not them” – when in essence Muslims already have “sharia” in America?  This type of rhetoric only cast Muslims negatively in American society as a type of “fifth column” harboring nefarious goals and intentions.  Those who would argue the inability to practice Islam in America should know the earth is spacious…..

Sis Martha, i know you asked bro Abu the question, im sure he will answer better.

But i remember when i was young, i was told, in regards to this subject, by staying in a country, usually you form a contract to abide by the laws of that land, contract of residence, passport etc. And as Muslims we should not be consprirators and two faced in our dealings or contracts if youd like to say.

To me at least it makes sense, why agree to benefit everything that land offers yet plan to overthrow it at the same time. I dont know, insallah im not wrong, someone correct me if i am.

Of course i dont know how much if political activism could be seen as conspriring, I guess theres a line between being two faced backstabber and being a honest criticizer or hater.
