#4 Nope. There is no double standard---because Islam is not a religion the way the concept was defined in USA constitution (it doesn't render into Caesar).

#5 Do any other religions -- or any other groups, for that matter -- get financial instruments tailored to their specific requirements? (A credit card with their name in a cute design on the front doesn't count.)

#6 Time is but toilet paper. If any politician, Judge, or public figure wants sharia law, than they should be very publicly shunned in this day. The ignorance is overpowering.

#7 This article confused me (and I know that it shouldn't surprise me since it's in TIME, but anyway ...)

I'm trying to figure out where the double-standard is that they are asking about. Are they implying that Pawlenty was being too conservative in cancelling the special state financing program? Or are they implying that he had encouraged to have this program started in the first place (which he happened to cancel)?

Or ... did they just want to put up a headline that put Pawlenty's name next to the phrase "sharia-compliant" as a preemptive strike to be used later in case he makes some strides as someone's eventual vice-presidential choice?
