Rep. Berman himself acknowledged knowing nothing about Dearborn. “I heard it on a radio station here on my way in to the Capitol one day,” Berman said Monday in an interview. “I don’t know Dearborn, Michigan but I heard it (Sharia is accepted law here) on the radio. Isn’t that true?“
Berman insisted one U.S. city offered unquestionable proof of this supposed threat: Dearborn, MI. Dearborn is home to one of the largest Muslim populations and the largest mosque in North America. Therefore, according to Berman, Sharia law necessarily is being implemented there. “It’s being done in Dearborn, Mich., because of a large population of Middle Easterners,” Berman said, “and the judges in Dearborn are using and allowing to be used Sharia law.” He mentioned the city six times throughout his testimony. However, when pushed for details, the only actual evidence Berman could offer was, “I heard it on a radio station”:

Doing a search on the term "Sharia Law in America" I come up with a bunch of right wing sites that seem to insist that it is happening in the US.

The problem is that when you check their "Facts" you find nothing to substantiate the claims.

Conservative Islamophobia at its best.

Where were you on the "dumbest person in Congress" thread, Mike? We had to let it fall, but it's recent enough I doubt the mods would object to a bump.
