Gingrich Calls For Federal Ban On Shariah Law In US

The second morning of speeches at the Values Voter Summit here in DC was dominated by a man who is swiftly becoming the nation's spokesperson for Islamophobia -- former House speaker Newt Gingrich.

Fresh off the release of his Islam-focused film "America At Risk," Gingrich told the crowd at VVS that it's time to take federal action to prevent Shariah Law from infiltrating courtrooms in the US.

"We should have a federal law that says sharia law cannot be recognized by any court in the United States," Gingrich said to a standing ovation from the audience. The law will let judges know, Gingrich said, that "no judge will remain in office that tried to use sharia law."Hmmm President Gingrich sounds suddenly great to me.

I've seen Newt waffle and fold before--on other issues-
-maybe he has truly seen the light or--he's angling...
I am play the 'wait and see' game with him ---
His words are right on in regard to sharia law...will his actions be 'right on'?!!!
