Polls: Clinton Wins Second Debate by Narrower Margin than First

Anyway, thanks to Trump because of his true saying that Obama and Hillari are those who created Daesh, and Asad, Iran and Russia are fighting against Daesh. And also, he asked a rational question that why they inform Daesh about the place that they want to attack.
They didn't create them though. Reagan and Oliver North played a far greater role in helping to make them (I wouldn't say any one person or even a few people created them, but many, many people spanning at least decades) when the United States propped up Bin Laden to fight against the Russians.

I believe this to be melodramatic BS. I haven't see this confirmed anywhere in the US. Can you supply some news links where this is the case? First rule of Scuba applies: I won't be holding my breath.

I'd imagine the use of personal Sharia laws in courts wouldn't have been banned in several US states and on ballots in many more if it were just melodramatic bs. There are also instances of using domestic and civil laws within their own communities, which seems to be the future trend, at least not the more extreme ones.

You must not be from the USA.
Laws proposed and passed for nothing more than melodrama and campaign sound bites are legion.
Believe me, North Carolina didn't really have a problem with trans people using the public restrooms.
But it sounded good to the Republicans and Gov. McCrory going into the election.

That is much different. Perhaps looking into it more may shed some light if you're willing.

Of course not. None of these communities could be guilty of overreacting and acting on their bigotry.

I hold myself to a different standard than local laws. What's the harm in that if I don't break those laws? If a religion wants to wear pink on Sundays, who am I to be bothered by it? If they require the entire community to wear pink, then that's a different issue. I get the desire for the melodramatic BS, but I'm not going to buy into it.

Some practice what they preach, some just talk with meaningless words and dispose everything as melodrama.
I can't support marital rape being illegal but legal under Sharia in the US. This is not equal to women. I can't support Sharia-sensitive financial institutions either. This is not equal. I understand you're not bothered by these.

More melodramatic BS you call:

From the article:
The report, which estimated that 23-27 honor killings per year occur in the U.S.,

Of course, even one is unacceptable. But what I am seeing in your article is a melodramatic story about a tiny piece of the domestic violence problem. There are 300 million plus people living in this country.
There are much bigger fish to fry on the domestic abuse front alone.

That was my intent. One life of equality matters and no one should be written off as a statistic and as melodramatic bs.
I agree that there are many other fish.

No, what you linked to is horrible and already against the law. Abuse, torture, mutilation and murder are already against all laws. No need to refer to "Sharia" law when this sort of behavior is already illegal.

The US is and has been a melting pot of the world. We've been blessed to have more cultures meet and intermingle than any other place in the world. It's beautiful for the most part. No, we don't all share the same values. Here in the Keys, we have a few ethnic groups that traditionally break our laws and engage in poaching. They have no problem eating any and everything that they can pull out of the ocean. The FWC still enforces US and Florida law. No matter what their culture was they were used to where they came from, they have to obey our laws now. So, there's no need to pass any laws concerning their culture. They still have to conform to our laws.

Accused means nothing, where is the court case? Better yet, why does it take 26 years for her to figure out that NOW is the time to mention it? Dan Abrams (the site owner for that site) takes all of his money from Hillary's campaign donors. It's just slander, and any of these "cases" are Jane Doe's in courts where the judges were appointed directly by Obama or his cronies, it's hilarious that you guys keep falling for this.

They've already tried to create five different cases out of thin air with anonymous plaintiffs which mysteriously disappear before they get to court. Stop falling for the scam. There are multiple incidences of news outlets conspiring for Hillary, so how about we just stay to facts?

There is no case, or Donald would be chilling in a cell. When exactly are ya'll done being deceived? If you do more research you'll find these accusers don't even exist. I mean, why aren't they all over TV and doing interviews? Gullibility isn't a virtue.
