That Egyptian Constitution (Under Sharia)

White House downplays Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia power grab in Egypt

No surprises here. Not long ago the Obama regime had the hide to tell us that the MuBro’s are “largely secular”.

What else can the Obama Administration do? It hailed the coming of “democracy” to Egypt; now it can only hope that few Americans notice that what is developing there is anything but democracy. Of course, the mainstream media will do its bit to make Obama look as good as possible and keep Americans clueless and complacent.

New Egyptian Constitution Is Recipe for Tyranny  (Moonbattery)

Eileen F. Toplansky from the American Thinker:

A little Egyptian girl born today named Jendayi (which means thankful) will one day grow to know only the following sharia-enforced laws, as elucidated by Syed Kamran Mirza.

• A marriage that can take place any time after birth and be consummated at the age of eight or nine years old.
• If Jendayi should be rebellious in any way, this gives her husband permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.
• Since there is no common property between a husband and a wife, if the husband dies, his property does not automatically go to the wife after his death.
• A woman inherits half what a man inherits.
• A man has the right to have up to four wives, and the wife has no right to divorce him even if he is polygamous.
• The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs. Thus, Jendayi is objectified as simply a reproductive machine.
• A man is allowed to have sex with slave women. Indeed, slavery still exists in the Arab world.
• If the enslaved woman is married, her own marriage is annulled.
• The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man — that is, two women are equal to one man.
• A woman loses custody of her children if she remarries.
• A rapist may be required only to pay the bride-money or dowry without marrying the rape victim.
• A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body which is considered “Awrah,” or a sexual organ.
• A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife caught in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women.
• The perpetrators of genocide, mass rape, and plunder will not be punished if they repent.
• To prove rape, a woman must have four male witnesses. Furthermore, any woman’s testimony is not accepted.
• A Muslim man’s life is worth 33 times that of a Hindu woman in paying “blood money” or compensation.

Besides these draconian indignities, freedom of speech is non-existent.  Even to sing any “modern music including any sexually explicit music of any kind is strictly prohibited and punishable by the Islamic sharia code of justice.”  Jendayi will have little to be thankful for.

Yet there is nary a peep from Obama, who “refuses to criticize Egypt’s anti-free speech, and anti-women’s rights constitution, but finds time to criticize new Israeli housing projects.”  So while the sinister threats to women, Christians, and any opposed to sharia imposition continue, Barack Hussein Obama remains mute. 

Continued: Bader Ginsburg & the sharia:

Let’s hope the “Arab Spring” Egypt isn’t as much worse than Iran as Obama is worse than Jimmy Carter.

The draft contains no article specifically establishing equality between men and women because of disputes over the phrasing. However, it maintains that a woman must balance her duties toward family and outside work, suggesting that she can be held accountable if her public role conflicts with her family duties. No such article is mentioned for men.

Equality for women, like all liberal issues, is not really an issue. Otherwise Islam is the last thing libs would find appealing.

An article bans insulting or defaming the prophet and messengers, but is vague about what constitutes an insult, raising concerns of restrictions to freedom of expression.

When in doubt, if Al Qaeda wouldn’t like it, then don’t say it — or you might end up in jail, like a certain video producer in California.

Military tribunals will continue. There is no ban on slavery.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be pleased to learn that Egyptians took her advice not to base their constitution on ours.
