The Shariah Threat

Several examples, if you think its not happening:

Since we have been threatened with death if we burn the Koran, can we give into the blackmail?

When did it become illegal to burn the Qur’an? Sharia Alert from East Lansing, Michigan: “$10,000 Reward In Koran Burning Case,” from WLNS.com, September 15: East Lansing, Michigan Police Department offers $10,000 reward in Qur’an-burning case

Lets take a closer look. Who came up with this idea?

The department is offering $10,000 for any information that would lead to the identification and prosecution of those responsible for this act.

Those with information are asked to call Det. Sherief Fadly at 517-319-6814.

Is Detective Sherief Fadly more interested in enforcing American law, or Sharia? Does he know that Americans have a right to freedom of expression, including that which others find obnoxious or offensive?

The Threat to America

Islamofascism: A panel of national security experts concludes that Shariah law is a totalitarian ideology that is being used by advocates of tolerance to undermine the security of the United States.

Challenging the prevailing political correctness regarding tolerance, outreach and endless apologies to the Muslim world for defending ourselves against terrorism, the 177-page report by the Center for Security Policy, “Shariah: The New Threat To America,” objectively analyzes the assault on the West by Islamofascism and warns of the grave threat posed by those who seek to use Shariah law to undermine America’s legal system, Constitution, national security and way of life.

The report, whose authors included former defense, law enforcement and intelligence officials such as Clinton administration CIA Director R. James Woolsey and Andrew C. McCarthy, former assistant U.S. attorney in New York, a career counterterrorism prosecutor during the Clinton administration, was released Wednesday at a Capitol Hill press conference.

The report concludes the Shariah system is “totalitarian” and incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, our system of democratic lawmaking and the constitutional guarantees of freedom of conscience, individual liberty and freedom of expression, including the right to criticize Shariah law itself.

We have seen evidence of Shariah creeping into our culture and our legal and financial systems. In June 2009, a New Jersey state judge decided that a man who punished his wife with pain for hours and repeatedly raped her was not guilty of criminal sexual assault, citing the man’s religious beliefs. The ruling was reversed by an appellate court. Maybe it won’t be down the road.

In November 2009, a high school senior was suspended in order to protect him from violence when he wrote an essay criticizing perceived special treatment for Somali Muslims in his school. In Dearborn, Mich., Christian missionaries were arrested for proselytizing at an Arab festival. In Minnesota, the state accommodates Shariah’s prohibition on interest payments by buying homes from realtors and reselling them to Muslims at an up-front price. Since when does government structure financial transactions to accommodate a single religious code? Apparently in the Constitution there is no separation of mosque and state.

Shariah is used around the world to condone barbarities such as the stoning and subjugation of women and the execution of homosexuals. It does not support freedom of speech, conscience or religion or even equal treatment under the law

The report cites the 1991 document from the Muslim Brotherhood in North America describing a covert process of Islamic “settlement” in the United States. The plan is to carry out a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated,” the document stated.

David Yerushalmi:

No matter how many times the Mussulman will try to persuade you that sharia “is just like any other religious canon”, such a notion should be dismissed with the wave of a hand. It just isn’t so. Oh but they’ll try to convince you, lying of course, that it’s very similar to Jewish canan law, Halachah, but it’s not the same, far from it.

“I’ve always thought Shariah was a body of Islamic religious law much like Jewish Halacha, governing peoples’ personal affairs. So I’m wondering, what is it in your view? What is Shariah, and why, specifically, is it a threat to our country?”

Read the rest of what Yerushalmi has to say on the subject here. The man has a great legal mind and knows what he’s talking about.
