U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a "militant terrorist situation" that has allowed Islamic religious law to take hold in some American cities.
Her comments came at a rally of tea party supporters in the Nevada resort town of Mesquite last week after the candidate was asked about Muslims angling to take over the country, and marked the latest of several controversial remarks by the Nevada Republican.
In a recording of the rally provided to The Associated Press by the Mesquite Local News, a man is heard asking Angle : "I keep hearing about Muslims wanting to take over the United States ... on a TV program just last night, I saw that they are taking over a city in Michigan and the residents of the city, they want them out. They want them out. So, I want to hear your thoughts about that."
Angle responds that "we're talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe it isn't a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it."
"My thoughts are these, first of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas are on American soil, and under constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don't know how that happened in the United States," she said. "It seems to me there is something fundamentally wrong with allowing a foreign system of law to even take hold in any municipality or government situation in our United States."
Dearborn, Mich., has a thriving Muslim community. It was not immediately clear why Angle singled out Frankford, Texas, a former town that was annexed into Dallas around 1975.
Responding to the same question, she also drew comparisons between the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the Nazi Holocaust. She said the property owners behind the proposed Islamic community center near ground zero should move it in deference to the people who died there.
"There was, in Auschwitz, I think it was Auschwitz, it was at least a prisoner of war camp, where the Catholic Church owned some property and they were going to build a church there. They had every right to do it but they stepped aside and said, no, we are going to allow the Jewish people to make a monument because they lost lives," she said. "They had a responsibility to be sensitive to what had happened there and it is exactly the same thing as 9/11. Ground zero, we have a responsibility to be sensitive to the loss of a nation, to the loss of families, to the loss of life that happened there."
Angle seemed to be referring to a Roman Catholic convent at the Auschwitz death camp that Pope John Paul II ordered moved in 1993 in response to Jewish protests.
Others, including the Anti-Defamation League, the nation's leading Jewish civil rights group, have evoked the relocated convent while voicing opposition to the mosque. But the ADL also has stressed that 9/11 and the Holocaust are separate, incomparable events.
Angle's campaign did not answer questions about her statements.
"I'm pretty sure that she did make it clear that there had been incidents in the news, but there is nothing widespread, and that we have freedom of religion in this country," said spokesman Jarrod Agen in an e-mail.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based advocacy group, called Angle's statements "bizarre."
"This seems to be an example of incoherent bigotry. It is pretty clear that she has something against Islam and Muslims but she is so incoherent you don't know what she stands for," Hooper said. "The proper response would have been, 'American Muslims are citizens like anyone else. They are free to practice their faith,' not seeming to agree that Muslims are somehow seeking to take over."
Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly called Angle's comments "shameful." He said tea party groups inaccurately spread the word that his Detroit suburb was ruled by Islamic law after members of an anti-Islam group were arrested at an Arab cultural festival in June because a Christian volunteer complained of harassment.
"She took it as face value and maligned the city of Dearborn and I consider that totally irresponsible," he said. "If she wants to come here, I will take her on a tour. I will show her we follow the Constitution just as well as anyone else."
Angle, a Southern Baptist, has called herself a faith-based politician. Among her positions, she opposes abortion in all circumstances, including rape and incest and doesn't believe the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.
Angle is in a dead-heat race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has also said the community center, which would include a mosque, should be built elsewhere. A recent poll showed Reid and Angle tied in the high-profile campaign.
Reid's campaign said Angle's comments advances its ongoing campaign to portray her as outside mainstream America.
"The fact that Sharron Angle believes American cities have been taken over by militant terrorist organizations that are ruling our citizens under Sharia law shows a terrifying lack of connection with reality and a willingness to subscribe to conspiracy theories that demonstrates she's far too extreme and dangerous to represent Nevada in the U.S. Senate," spokesman Kelly Steele said.






It is sad to hear people feel this way in this day and time.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
(However, this world will continue to spin around in spite of what man does or does not do).
At least we're not England, yet.
What a paranoid nutcase! Of course, as with all Republicans, they want to pump up the fear of "the other" to get elected! Unfortunately, Angle is such a fruitcake that she probably actually believes it!!
I am more afraid of Sharon Angle and people like her than I am of any real terrorists in America!
Angle said the country faces a "militant terrorist situation"
You need to turn your INFORMATION ON THE TERRORISTS in to Homeland Security.
You may be aiding the terrorists if you do not turn your information in to Homeland Security.
Yeah, I grew up there - this lady is a whack job, racist! I wonder if she even knows where Dearborn is? It's actually a pretty nice place.
Does she think that Chinatown is where the plot is to take over the United States? Maybe that's what O'Donnel is talking about!! LOL
What about the church of Sharron, God talks to me,no abortion no matter what,no medical insurance,no social security,no education and etc. Sounds like Islamic law to me. What do you think we are trying to un-do in the middle east. Democracy is something you lack and all of the Juice you think you have will not help you. You would be great leader on foreign policy along with the other half wit Palin tweedle dee and twiddle dumb.
But what does Chunky think?
you poor misguided, hateful liberals... just go read, actually READ the Constitution. Angle supports it, that is why all the liberal hate here. She will win, we the people will win, the liberals will lose.
ps. maybe read the Bible too, it will be eye-opening for most of you.
Islam is the religion of peace! They come to America in peace! Now surrender immediately or they will cut off your head!
Thousands of years of history have PROVEN that all cultures living within the borders of Islam are annihilated. People either leave, convert or Die. Languages disappear to be replaced by Arabic. There are no exceptions over time to this fact. Every Muslims lifelong goal is to convert or kill all "non-believers" on earth!
We are allowing our country to be concurred by Islam, they are using our belief in freedom of religion to do this. Every American MUST understand that Islam is far more then just a religion, it is a political and legal system with it's own laws, the basis of Islam starts by dividing the whole world into 2 groups, Muslims (believers) and everyone else (non-believers) According to the laws of Islam, the golden rules such as "Thou Shall Not Kill. " only apply to fellow Muslims "Thou shall not kill a Muslim" it's perfectly OK to kill a non-believer.
Islam is a political and legal system that CAN NOT BE ALLOWED to operate within American under the protection on our freedoms of religion. Islam is not compatible with freedom! Islam is an invading force that MUST be stopped NOW!

Muslim need to integrate, they don't. Mexicans need to integrate, they don't. Chinese need to integrate, they don't. Catch my drift? We allow everybody and their mothers to come to America and practice freedom of speech and religion, but when an american complains about foreigners culture that american is racist? Heck no, that american want those foreigners to become americans and interact with americans, those communities are the most racist, more racist than rednecks.
Angle is right, and liberals don't see it, keep hugging trees and eating chinese while they take our country and shape it to what foreigners like.
Sharron is right!!!
Go Sharron Go!!!
Beat the Socialist!!!
Do liberals who normally cheer for womens' rights now espouse a 7th century philosophy that covers women from head to toe and stones them for associating with strange men?
This woman is certifiable. I cannot for the life of me believe that anyone can take her seriously. Nevada should be embarrassed, no, humiliated, that this woman is even in the election.
Sharron, did you know they called Harry "Pinky" when he was growing up Searchlight?
Could that be "Pinky" as is an almost a Red Communist ? Did the people around him when he was growing know something?
sos89123<
What would you choose? Would you leave the country, would you convert to Islam, or would you have your head cut off?
These are your ONLY choices if you continue to side with the Islamic invaders!
Which would you choose?
The greates accomplishment of Islam is the Koran. The greatest accomplishment of Christianity is Jesus Christ and moral values. Islam is a gutter way of life that keeps the masses in bondage. Angle speaks the truth while Reid lives and operates in secrecy. Goodbye Harry and good riddance.
Angle is correct and there are 3 towns in England that already have Islamic law. The Muslins want to take over the world and the 100 yr war is still going on to this day.
WOW - is all I can say!
Since I grew up there, I guess I can say you people have NO IDEA what is going on in a small town 2000 miles away... but you keep that racist impulse!!!
victorb - that is some pretty ignorant talk and obviously you have no idea about American history or any concept of sociology. Why do you think every major American city has a Chinatown or Little Italy. Italian-Americans are probably the most close knit group in America. What do you think has happened since America opened it's doors? This isn't new. People gravitate to others that are similar to them. While 1st generation Americans may choose to remain close to other people from their home countries (I will admit they also show racism), it is their children that will be integrated. They will fight hard against it, but their children will interact and develop relationships with people that are not like them.
Someone complained of harrassment in Michigan and it was turned into communities being ruled by Islamic Law. That sir, is hate-mongering and racism.
I have to agree with tomfranklin....if you think that Islam religion is just a peaceful religion and not a political and legal system set out to dominate the world by converting you or killing you....then you would be sadly mistaken. As someone who has spent plenty of time in Islamic countries and have seen first hand "peaceful" Muslims, or so they said they were, infiltrate and kill and destroy entire ways of life of "infidels" aka non-believers....beware people, beware! Too many people here in the U.S., are really unaware of what the Islam religion really teaches and the methods they use to take over. They are very sly about it. WAKE UP AMERICA! Haven't you been paying attention to what Islam has done and is still doing in Europe and England?
Moderate and fiscal Republicans need to start paying attention to the nut cases they are letting in the door.
John Ensign = useless, SHARON ANGLE = Clueless.
She still thinks the earth is flat. She still lives in the Dark Ages. Crazy for CocoPuffs. Wants to eliminate all social programs but she lives off her hubby's B.L.M retirement, gee sounds like a government social program. Lets use her logic too, if she wins then we should have an armed uprising and over throw her and all the Tea Baggers.
All those that support her are even more crazy than her. She and her followers not the brightest crayons in the box.
I think Obama and the democrats in general should be scared as hell that the public is so fed up with them, that this nutjob is running neck and neck with the senate majority leader and long time incumbent.
Unfortunately, I do not think there is ANY message being received and I do not think there is ANY self reflection by Obama on why people are so fed up with his administration to even consider voting in someone as screwed up as angle
better start learning to speak Arabic and praise Allah. Unless a whole lot of spineless people learn to stand up, grow a pair, and quit being so politically correct.
It's funny how the comments made by Obama's Pastor Wright did not/does not seem to bother the democrats. So why should this?
Not since George W Bush's reelection campaign have I seen a candidate so bent on using fear and bigotry in a desperate bid to get elected.
This woman has no shame, and apparently has no Muslim friends, neighbors or even acquaintances.
I guess all that talk about Sharron's bunker was right.
When she indulges her passion for the venom running through her fangs, Sharron Angle grows the snake consuming her vacuous soul.
Attack seems to be her primary modus operandi.
My preference for a United States Senator would be for a person who would make considerations, weigh alternatives and do what's right rather than merely firing at smoke and noises.
I haven't seen the candidate respond with the reflective, cogent attitude in her heart that fits the strong need we have for dialogue and discovery, reason and respect for our freedoms and our challenges.
What I have seen and heard is a wavering with the wind, a drifting with the crowd and a heartless snake darting her forked tongue and fanging her way into the spotlight any way she can.
My heart goes out to all the Republicans who wanted someone to believe in.
the day after the 9/11 attacks thousands of muslims were out in the streets of dearborn celebrating what happened. true story.
Has to make you wonder where Sharron Angle gets her information. You would think her handlers would stop her before she says some of these things.
Not defending anyone at this point but it is easy to understand why some people always win their elections, look who the other parties try to get elected. ;(
Religions make for poor governments. The Christians found out several hundred years ago and this point was not lost on our founding fathers. We have freedom of religion and separation of church & state written into our constitution, the framers of the constitution got this exactly right!
Islam however is a newer religion and apparently hasn't fully learned this lesson yet, although some Muslim countries like Turkey have a democratic civilian parliament.
I think the case of Sharia law becoming the law anywhere in America is absurd and anyone that thinks otherwise is well" not paying attention or just plain bigoted.
Candidates for office in this country should embrace tolerance for all religions. There's a price for freedom and if Ms Angel doesn't get this she doesn't get my vote.
The only thing more outrageous than her comments is the number of ignorant people who believe her. God help our country if this woman is elected...she is truly a scary person!
Dang, Airweare, I was just this morning wondering where you were...
Yes, our Wicked Witch is AWFULLY BUSY flying around on her broom, identifying pockets of the country in dire need of some of her "JUICE"...
"Whaddya got down there, Moozlims? Poor People? VET'S? Those lazy unemployed freeloaders? Well, stand back, I'll be sprayin' my Venum Juice on em!!!"
PROVE IT otherwise PUBLICLY ADMIT YOU ARE A LIAR !
President Obama has given millions of tax payer dollars to muslim organizations. I thought there was separation of church and state.
President Obama supports building a Muslim shrine on top of ground zero.
President Obama has Nasa's mission being to Muslim-ize the world.
If you believe in separation of church and state, then President Obama should stop giving our tax payer money to Muslims.
Nothing wrong with Muslims - but they should follow the same church and state separation. I think most would agree on this.
Two inadequate candidates in Nevada.....
however, we know Reid loves to take our money, devalue our homes, give our jobs to illegal aliens; force American citizens to be unemployed; call heart pace makers luxury items; will take all your wealth when you die (if you have any) and not allow you to give it to your children. Reid will put moms and dads in jail if they do not pay the amazing increase on health insurance; he slashed Medicaid. He plans to give college educations to illegal aliens, while raising the cost of college for those born here.
The difference is that the writers of the newspaper do not write it so plainly. Reid has done all of this...
So if you hate both - then VOTE FOR NO ONE.
We cannot allow ourselves to tell Reid he has done a good job when he has brought such horrible harm on the Nevada family.
Dump the Senile Reid - and each day he ages, the more harm he causes.
@lovestohike...
"President Obama has Nasa's mission being to Muslim-ize the world."
Yeah, baby!
Right after the secret "MARS" project...
little green men...infiltrating high-ranking Government positions...zapping our computers' hard-drive's blank...mass brain-washing kool-aid parties...wait, that already happened...
Unfortunately if you have followed the news in Michigan and the American terrorists that have been arrested, we may be in more trouble than you think...
Sharron Angle told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a "militant terrorist situation
Yeah, the country needs to.
What about YOU, Angle??? What are you going to do about it? You are running for office and will be making and voting on the bills and laws.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Dearborn, Michigan, it is the home of Henry Ford. The city's population of about 100,000 includes 30,000 Arab Americans. Dearborn has the largest proportion of Arab Americans for a city of its size in America. The first Arabs who immigrated here in the early to mid-1900s to work in the automotive industry were chiefly Lebanese Christians (Syriac-Maronites). Since then, Arab immigrants from Yemen, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories, most of whom are Muslim, have joined them. Lebanese Americans are still the most numerous group. The city is the location of the Islamic Center of America, the largest mosque in North America, and the Dearborn Mosque.
Dearborn is, like any other American city of its size, a community of families who simply want to raise their children in peace. No part of Dearborn is subject to Sharia, or any other religious-based law. That a few hate-filled, fear-mongering weasels nearly two thousand miles away would insist such a thing tells you absolutely nothing about Dearborn, or Michigan, or Islam. However, it tells you absolutely everything you need to know about Sharron Angle and her supporters.
Somebody suggested reading the Constitution and that Sharron Angle supports it.
This article is in part about Freedom of Religion. Let's look at what Sharron Angle had to say about Freedom of Religion:
"Angle believes that religion has an expansive role to play in government. And, she has repeatedly said anyone who opposes that based on the claim of separation of church and state misunderstands the Constitution's ban on "establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." "
You might want to reread the Constitution and the Supreme Court cases clarifying it and then try to UNDERSTAND it.
Muslims, Mormons, Veterans, Autism Advocates, Seniors, Women, Educators, Environmentalist, Nature Lovers, Gays, Lesbians and the great workers of Nevada will show Sharron Fraud Angle the way home come election time.
No one in their right frame of mind will vote for this nutcase!!!!
Is the extreme right concerned about being out extreme-righted?
This is another one of Angle's outrageous lies. Only the stupid and gullible will believe what she says when they can see with their own eyes that there is zero evidence of any American city being overtaken by sharia law.
lovestohike--It's obvious that you weren't paying attention to what GWB did during his two terms in office. He also sent Imam Rauf on goodwill missions to Muslim countries and you didn't open your mouth.
GWB also said that all Muslims weren't our enemies, and you said nothing.
President Obama defended our Constitution when he spoke about the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment. Psst! It was in his Oath of Office.
Obviously, you know very little about Muslim contributions to the world that you probably benefit from today. One of them was in the promotion of the idea that hygiene in medical facilities is very important. You do know that the LV Sun has been running a series on how some patients in NV hospitals have contracted some very,very nasty "bugs" that have changed their lives forever I hope. I'll leave you to your ignorance about NASA and Muslim scholars, but I will tell you that the majority of Muslims are young and much better educated than our young people are.
Another little piece of information you don't know is that there are synagogues and churches in, gasp! Iran, and the government allows their members to practice their religion freely. The only prohibition on them is that they don't proselytize.
The depth of many Americans' stupidity of foreign nations and other religions outside of Christianity is appalling.
Google is your friend.
I know this information because I used to teach it before I retired, and I made it my business to pay attention, read and study when I was in college and graduate school. Education is also your friend. I'd hate to see you among a group of highly educated international individuals spouting off at the mouth about things you don't know. You'd provide the evening's free entertainment.
So easy to focus on Angle, what about Senator Reid, this paper is constantly attacking anything, and everything that Sharron Angle say or not; That want get Reid elected, Reid is out
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
-- Hermann Goering
In November the country will see if Las Vegas is going to become a sophisticated world class city that people cant wait to visit, or a dustbowl with video poker, sleazy stripjoints and a nuclear power plant, where gun toting uneducated, racist, toothless rednecks live.
Frau Angle is a delusional nitwit who turns these backwoods events into Nuremberg style rallies, fomenting hatred, fear and xenophobia. If she were not lying about the Muslims, she'd be lying about the Mexicans.
@lovestohike
Congrats, you got most of Hannity's talking points correct. Too bad there's not an ounce of truth sprinkled in those statements.
@pmontg53
Because Reid has never said the outlandish thing this candidate has said. Come on, tell the truth, do you really want this person to represent Nevada with John Ensign?
How can anyone, and I mean anyone, vote for this woman? She's NUTS!
This woman is a complete idiot! Where does she get her "facts" from? It's all mumbo jumbo. And please, dear writers at the Sun, don't bother to publish anymore articles about how poor the education system is here in Nevada. The fact that Angle won the nomination to become a member of the Senate is proof enough. I read so many of these comments posted here and I'm floored, completely floored! Angle "supporters", if indeed that's what they are and not Angle operatives, rant and use all sorts of sound bites but can't support a single statement with fact.
It is ironic and almost amusing that the very harbingers of doom (i.e. Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Palin, etc.) are the one's who have turned many Americans into brainless zombies who parrot and broadcast idiotic ideas that threaten to tear the country apart. It's not Democrats babbling about revolution or picking up guns to solve the nation's problems. It's not so-called liberals who are constantly blaming the third oldest monotheistic religion in the world for our country's problems. It's not the "left" who are looking to pin the country's woes on gays, Muslims, a woman who chooses to end a pregnancy and so on.
Who exactly is it again who is vitriolic and threatening to tear the country apart while taking away our liberties?
For those of you who want to live in an all white, all Christian, all heterosexual, English speaking perfect world, I have some advice for you. Do what your Puritan forefathers did and leave. Yep you got it! You ain't taking anything back from nobody because you're looney and this is the 21st-century and your idea of a perfect world doesn't exist and never did. So jump on a boat and sail to Antartica. It's a little chilly down there but there's nobody but some penguins and you can set up your perfect government based on your perfect religion and start hanging your neighbors for being witches as soon as you like. You can build a huge fence around the entire continent and you won't have to let anybody in who can't pass a DNA test or a questionaire about Jesus.
Thanks for you time - Your Friendly Elitist, Liberal, Educated, Lefty (I believe that climate change is real), Socialist.
P.S. Anyone who doesn't know the difference between their, there and they're or your and you're shouldn't be attempting to weigh in on matters that effect the nation. Call me an elitist but I sort of think that literacy is important in political discussion.
Gmag, I snuck off to the East coast for a gig. I watch the golden chariot come rising up out of the Atlantic instead of watching it set down in the Pacific.
DC is a swamp; I miss the dry desert and my swamp cooler. I sweat like a pig back here. Poor Sharron is still shooting off her mouth though.
This is unbelieveable!! I don't like the state of the economy more than anyone else, but it is down right scary when someone like Angle starts spewing out these ideas just to scare people. No one has ever talked about imposing sharia law in any part of the US. I don't like the back room politics of the establishment, but Sharon Angle is a delusional unqualified candidate who doesn't have a clue about the real world. I wish I had another choice, but my choice certainly won't be Angle
The biggest problem I have here is Crazy Sharron NEVER, NEVER stands up and says "My former Pastor was out of line and totally wrong" She also NEVER NEVER said she disapproves of a male supporter of hers pulling a woman's hair and hitting that woman in the face!!! Silence IS IMPLIED APPROVAL! And she has the GALL to talk about Sharia Law? Gheez, she's a walking example of it!!!!
Where does Angle get this stuff from? Does she really believe that American cities have been taken over by militant terrorist organizations that are ruling our citizens under sharia law? THIS IS CRAZY!
Please think more that twice before you vote for her. Did anyone think to ask her what cities????
None of the above in Nevada -
In Nevada, the candidate with the greatest number of votes assumes office regardless of votes for None of the Above. None of the Above acts as a repository for protest votes.
So who would it help the most? Just wondering...
tomfranklin and 2ndAmendment are both so full of crap that is coming out of their ears. Their ridiculous rantings about Sharia Law, of which they obviously know nothing is almost comical in it's infantile bluster. Two dolts that get their talking points from the Faux and Friends idiots.
Don't believe Sharron Angle's comments about Muslim law taking hold in Dearborn, Michigan. Not true, there or anywhere in Michigan. I live about seven miles from Dearborn, it is a typical city. It is made up of several ethnic and religious groups. There must be 2 to 3 hundred thousand middle eastern people around here in South Eastern Michigan and they are under the same laws as any other American city. These people blend in more than they stand out. Many of these people have been here almost as long the Ford Motor Company.
From Gail Collins, NYT 10/9:
Angle did make an appearance last week at a rally of Tea Party supporters in Mesquite, where she responded to a question about "Muslims wanting to take over the United States" by decrying the fact that Dearborn, Mich., and Frankford, Tex., were governed under Islamic law, called Sharia. Which, of course, they are not.
The Associated Press, which reported on this event, noted that while Dearborn does at least have "a thriving Muslim community," it was not clear why Angle picked on Frankford, Tex., which did not seem to have many Muslims, and also went out of existence around 1975.
********
Does Angle EVER say anything sane? Just think, come January our representatives in the Senate will be an empty headed pretty boy with legal and ethical problems and maybe an insane woman. Can hardly wait.
"Religions make for poor governments. The Christians found out several hundred years ago and this point was not lost on our founding fathers."
This point was already lost after the council of Nicaea, because after it, Christianity was history:

"Their" can be used as a singular replacement of the definite pronoun "his" or "her" in a sentence.
For example, No one in their right frame of mind will vote for Sharron Fraud Angle.
I wish that Montandon had run for the Senate instead of (R)Governor. Mayor Mike - please run for US Senate next election cycle.
Angle is a nutter. Anyone who does not believe in the separation of Church and State is akin to the hard-core nuts in the Islamic countries. I'm not interested in a theocracy. In fact, I'd be looking at my "second amendment remedies" if we managed to get ourselves a theocracy- no matter what religion.
CAIR, and their reps, should never be quoted by a respectable newspaper. Please don't make that mistake again Las Vegas Sun.
