Let's reveal what Shariah law says. What we have to fear the most as American nation is Shariah law . Because, even our president, he want to bring about Shariah law. He celebrated Eid Al-Fitr, which is Ramadan in the White House. Therefore, he's about to break down Article 6 which is the heart of the Constitution, which is separation of the church and the government. If he breaks this, the Shariah law will be supreme in America, will be equal to the American governing.

So, in 20 years America will be completely changing from a culture of liberty, pursuit of happiness, glory, and victory, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, to basically living under the hate crime bills and also we'll have to abide in a law that will be equal to our Constitution, which will be Islamic law.

Some background info on Kamal Saleem, courtesy of Right Wing Watch:
----------------------------
Saleem, who was also prominently featured in The Call: Detroit where he urged other Muslims to convert to Christianity and told rally attendees that he is the descended of the “Grand Wazir of Islam.” However, the title is not found anywhere in Islam. While preparing for The Call:Detroit, Saleem said that President Obama planned “to break down Article 6” of the Constitution in order to enforce “Islamic law,” warning “if he breaks this, the Sharia law will be supreme in America.”

An investigation by CNN found that Saleem is one of a handful of “fundamentalist Christians posing as ex-terrorists,” and a Middle East studies professor at the conservative Calvin College said his story “is not verifiable and without it he’s no different from other fundamentalist preachers.” Howard even wrote a review of Saleem’s book, which he called “obsessively, sadistically violent,” highlighting Saleem’s many contradictions in his backstory and his blatant and bizarre misrepresentations of Islam, saying, “Suffice it to say that if the subject were Jews, this book could not have been published.” Howard even points out that Focus on the Family, a former employer of Saleem, even had doubts about Saleem’s conversion story.

Haroon Moghul of Religion Dispatches also points out inconsistencies in his story of working for rival Palestinian secular and Islamist groups simultaneously and his claim that as a Muslim he was “allergic to Jesus,” even though Muslims consider Jesus the Messiah.

Why would CBN News bolster such a clear fabricator?

CNN notes that “Saleem, whose real name is Khodor Shami, worked for Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network for sixteen years.”

Though AFAIK Jesus (Issa), while revered in Islam, is not actually regarded as the Messiah.

Not just wrong, but massively wrong.

The president can't just change the Constitution on a whim, and it's the First Amendment which contains the separation of church & state. All Article 6 states about religion is that there will be no religious test to hold any office.

I'm more worried about the Christian fundies who are trying to tear down the wall of separation of church and state. They're trying to install Christianity in government, not realizing if they do this they're opening the door for state-sponsored Muslim sharia law. Christians are doing more to bring about this thing they're afraid of than the Muslims they accuse.

He celebrated Eid Al-Fitr, which is Ramadan in the White House.

As if no former president has ever celebrated any Christian holiday while in office. Oh, wait, all of our presidents have been Christian, and I'm sure most of them at least celebrated Christmas. But since they're Christian, and we're a Christian nation, that's okay.

Obama can celebrate whatever he likes on his own time. Obama forcing his staff to observe his holy days is when there'd start to be trouble, but even that is very far away from the institution of Sharia law (which is egregiously over-used as a scary buzzword for any sign of Muslims having any sort of power in this country).

Not really surprised by this fundie logic: if A then F therefore Q.

Article 6 which is the heart of the Constitution

Article 6?

Ok, let's first quote Article 6 of the US Constitution:

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

No separation of church and state there, except the "no religious Test" part.

Maybe Kamal meant the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

He celebrated Eid Al-Fitr, which is Ramadan in the White House.

Even if he did, which must be proven, how does celebrating a day of Ramadan constitute Congress making a law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof?
