Oklahoma banned Sharia Law (taking into account any court case which uses Islamic system of Sharia Law) in 2010 by 70% of voters. A Federal judge has placed a temporary injunction on the ballot measure to weigh the constitutionality of the rights of the voters versus the rights of the individual according to CNN. GOOGLE “americanthinker sharia law” and click on the “top ten reasons why sharia is bad for all societies” link to see why this is bad.

2/2 I want to see you talk back the way Clair Huxtable did, and get slapped across the face consistent with [4:34] of the Qu’ran. I also want Bill’s friends to come over and play some Poker, and you disagree with one of Bill’s friends, and Bill will say, “He’s right, his word is worth twice yours, woman!” consistent with [4.11]. That Bill Cosby would be such a card! Enlightenment could not be funnier.

Katie about your Muslim Cosby Show idea

1/2

Katie, only if you played the Muslim wife version of Clair Huxtable. I want to see you wear a burka during the entire series, because that’s what respectful muslim women do. I want to see lots of scenes where you don’t want sex, and your “Bill Cosby” plows his fields essentially raping you consistent with [2. 223] of the Qu’ran. Damn that’s just slap-stick comedy right there!
