In case you were wondering if there were any good reasons to resist the acceptance of Sharia Law in the United States, take a look at this news report. It also clearly illustrates why we should be very leery of liberal judges and justices who want to take foreign law into consideration when deciding cases in the United States.

The reported incident is from Saudi Arabia; but, for too long the Main Stream Media, the Democrats and the far-left have extolled the virtues of multiculturalism and preached that we must be more accepting of other cultures in the United States. The truth, however, is that we are accepting of other cultures. Sometimes too accepting. The liberal left's position opens the door to this type of egregious child abuse and the treatment of women as second-class citizens by those who believe that they may follow the dictates of a foreign culture while partaking of the fruits of American liberty. Clearly this is unacceptable and cannot be countenanced if we are to continue as a nation that prides itself on individual liberty.

Our nation did not become great because of multiculturalism nor is the lack of multiculturalism as promoted by the progressives (read liberal-left) among us a failure of our society or government. The United States became great because despite the multiculturalism that naturally occurs in a nation of immigrants, there was one over-riding culture to which all aspired to belong. People traditionally emigrated to become Americans, not the "hyphen-Americans" whose very identification promotes separatism as opposed to unity. If we truly want to move-on the next level where we recognize other human beings by their character rather than the color of their skin, their ethnic origin or their religion, we need to drop the idea that people can and should be hyphenated Americans. Citizens of this country should be Americans. Period. We should never ask others to forget where they came from, only to remember where they are now.
