It is VERY relevant not only to the election but the national dialog.

However, who is going to make it relevant in the minds of the general public? Certainly not the Democrats. They want to follow European style suicidal appeasement policies. It's the same with the media, hollywood, and political elites.

The appeasement of Islam in Europe is getting so bad that they are literally on the verge of having a two tiered system of laws. One for Muslims and one for "infidels". To a small degree it is already happening in many countries.

The latest bit of insanity out of the UK is they will be not only appeasing polygamy on the part of Muslim men, the government will pay welfare and housing benefits for all of their wives. This is occurring even though bigamy and polygamy are illegal in the UK.

It's starting to get bad in Canada too. Like some of Europe, there is no freedom of speech anymore. If you write a book or article that criticizes or questions Islam, you are brought before some "Human Rights Commission" and/or "Human Rights Tribunal" and put through an inquisition which could result in criminal fines and penalties. All because the thought police deem your writing "hate speech". Several American authors have recently been dragged before these commissions along with their publishing companies in Canada.

Ontario has an "Arbitration Act" that is allowing a form of Sharia Court to exist in Canada for Muslims. Some Canadian governments are also thinking about allowing "Sharia Banking" in commercial banks in that country. It may be be going on already.

This is all brought about by the self loathing and suicidal notion of "multiculturalism".

It's coming here too. More slowly than Europe, Canada, and Australia, but it is coming. It happens one inch at a time.
