Here's Something I didn't know: Muslims are Exempt from Obamacare

Laws almost always create unanticipated consequences. This is certainly likely to be the case when politicians bend over backwards to accommodate the currents of political correctness. 
ObamaCare uses the Social Security language of the Internal Revenue Code to determine who is eligible for “religious conscience” objection to the insurance mandate. Specifically, the law provides exemptions for adherents of “recognized religious sects” that are “conscientiously opposed” to accepting benefits from any insurance, public or private.
As a consequence of this provision, Muslims may claim a religious exemption that is denied Christians and Jews. Since Islam believes insurance is haraam (forbidden) and likens insurance to gambling, the religion is excluded from requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Others who fall into this category are the Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists. Although the U.S. Constitution grants all Americans equal protection of the law, some Americans are more equal than others. 
ObamaCare is specifically written not to apply equally to everyone. It is in most respects a law intended to discriminate — what some might call an extended Jim Crow law. If this seems exaggerated, consider: Jim Crow laws were based on racial discrimination, while ObamaCare is predicated on religious discrimination. Government acted based on a preconceived and arbitrary understanding of what is right.
[...] 
In a curious way the privilege granted Muslims and denied to most others translates into what Muslims call “dhimmitude,” or the taxing of non-Muslims in exchange for the acceptance of their presence. Intentionally or not, ObamaCare allows for the establishment of this practice and Sharia dictates in the United States. Conversely, if a Christian refuses to pay for required health care insurance, liens can be placed against assets and hard prison time could accompany noncompliance. Non-Muslims are, in effect, paying a tax to subsidize Muslims.

HERE'S A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS:

If a person of one of these faiths gets sick and they can't afford medical care on top of not being covered by Obamacare because they're exempt....WHO FOOTS THE BILL?

If Insurance is forbidden, Does this apply to their House Insurance...Auto Insurance....as well?

BTW, I don't blame Muslims or any other faith for being exempt....I think WE SHOULD ALL BE EXEMPT from Obamacare!

My query is how can one actually 'prove' that they're muslim...do they need to show verification form their particular church or something?

Good question.

I don't know. I know as a Catholic, I have a Certificate of Baptism.

Good points those, in fairness.

Indeed, if auto insurance is 'the law', and it's an insurance, why is Obamacare except, if that's also 'the law' and likewise an insurance.
Good points.

Now that we "have passed the bill, we are getting to find out what's in it!" Lucky us (sarc).

One thing we now know: Christians don't have religious freedom in this bill; muslims do. Interesting....

This is actually old news.

Like Andrew McCarthy continually points out, Islam is much more a social framework and legal code than a religion. And as far as I'm concerned, their legal code/social framework is messed up big time! It's time for Islam to stop hiding behind religion. It's not about faith, it is about control!

And insurance being forbidden in Islam is just an example of control run amok.

We pick the insurance we want.

I own a home in Michigan. The bank requires insurance to get the mortgage. Insurance is also mandatory to register my car.

Obamacare I will chose not to participate.

That's just it Abdul, we should all get to chose to not participate.

It's possible that someone is pretending to be "Abdul" to stir up controversy. The questions raised about insurance are good ones. I think we need a more accurate source than Abdul.
