Laura: In Tennessee the left are joining up with muslim brotherhood front groups to defend jihad and the implementation of sharia law under the guise of defending freedom of religion for muslims, which this proposed law in Tennessee does NOT hinder. But of course this is typical of the treachery of the left which desires the downfall of America. What I find more disturbing are those small number of conservatives who find sharia appealing as a way to deal with America’s moral decay. They have the misconception that islamic societies are morally superior. They have the misconception that women are respected and protected.
