TPM: Blackwater Brings Sharia Law to America!

Blackwater Brings Sharia Law to America!
06.18.08 -- 6:08PM By Josh Marshall
I know various wingnuts go on about how Muslims or various left-wing freaks are going to bring Sharia law to America and make us into an Islamist theocracy. But I think we may have the first case of a defendant actually asking a US federal judge to apply Sharia law, not American law, to a case.

And defendant is Blackwater.

2. Same here, but maybe it's just as well.

I'd probably be pissed off for the near future.

4. Well, aren't you especial?

Some folks just have the touch, I guess.

Lately, my life has been a series of "link(s) not found".

But tomorrow will be a better day.

I just know it.

Somehow.

Tom
