Are Americans Living Under Sharia Law, Without Being Aware Of It?

Posted on 05/31/2010 10:46:34 AM PDT by pinochet

Today, we are living under a culture of self-censorship when it comes to Islam. We saw it with the recent censorship of the South Park cartoon. Yale university censored a book that was published on the Muhammad cartoons. Islamic Sharia law forbids mockery of Islam and its prophet. But that is only supposed to apply in Islamic nations, not in America, right? Aren't we supposed to be the land of the free, and of the first ammendment?

During the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, Saturday Night Live and other TV shows mocked radical Muslims. Muslims were so few in America at that time, nobody made an issue of it. In those days, America was a free country. But, today, the presence of large number of Muslims in America has caused America to live under Sharia, without Americans being aware of it. Media reports from Minnesotta say that some Muslim cab drivers refuse to allow people who are carrying alcohol into their cabs. Some airports and universities are constructing foot baths for Muslims to wash before their prayers, and the ACLU is not doing anything to prevent religion being brought into public places.

For Sharia law to arrive in a society, all you need is to have Muslims present in that society. Muslims demand special rights, accomodation, and special treatment, and that is how the laws come into place. Sharia laws become an established custom, before laws are formally passed establishing Sharia. Americans do not realize it, but we are already living under a mild version of Sharia law in America.

Is this a Muslim?
He is an Islamist, but he cannot claim the banner of Muslim.

You are witnessing an historic change in the U.S. landscape
without a whimper from the populace. We have been silenced under the banner of political correctness and the charge of
Anti-Muslimism. Most of us cannot understand the difference in cultures and the depth of the Muslim faith. We think with the proper approach and understanding we can accommodate the Muslim point of view, social and religious. But the truth is they have no desire to assimilate in any way but rather we
should assimilate to their way of life, laws, religion and
culture. The parable of the Arab and the camel has more than a kernel of truth. On a cold windy night in the desert a tethered camel asked if he could put his head in the tent
to get out of the cold wind. The Arab agreed. Next the camel asked if he could just put his shoulders and front legs into the tent and out of the cold. The Arab agreed. Next the camel said, master if I could just get my body into
the tent and out of the frigid wind. The Arab agreed. Next,
the camel said, Master would you get out of the tent or I fear there is not enough room in the tent for the both of us. We are now at the process of getting the head in the tent. It won’t be long before we are told that the tent will not hold all of us and we, Americans, must get out.
It sounds improbable and that’s just why it’s possible.

Yes, but he's a very useful apostate to those who wish to bring America down. One thing about Islam you will discover as you study it, there are caveats, contradictions, and exceptions aplenty for anything which advances the overall goal of having all humanity submit (or die).

Because the media are afraid they will get their heads chopped off. The so called “violent” Christians won’t harm them. In this country - Christians present the biggest block to “progress” of global Marxism. That is why the “liberals” target us.

Look, the way to get under Obama’s skin is not to call him a Muslim.

You and I both know he is. But to call him a tratior an apostate a jinie’, this will make his head explode.

I have studied those parts extensively, and also have strong functional knowledge of paragraphs .38, .357, and .44-mag.

It is slowly creeping in. It is time to end all Muslim immigration, and officially ban Sharia law. Then arrest and deport if possible, all pro-Sharia Muslims. They are to be looked upon as enemies of the state. Just like Nazis were.

Shariah-Compliant Finance Advisor Picked by Obama as White House Fellow
by Zombie
Pajamas Media
June 25, 2010

On Tuesday, President Obama announced the appointment of this year’s “White House Fellows,” a prestigious program in which outstanding Americans are chosen to work in the White House and receive “first hand, high-level experience with the workings of the Federal government.” According to a White House Press release, one of this year’s Fellows is a young lawyer named Samar Ali:

Samar Ali is an Associate with the firm Hogan Lovells US LLP. She is responsible for counseling clients on mergers & acquisitions, cross-border transactions, Shari’a compliant transactions, project finance, and international business matters.

Left out of the press release is that she also previously worked as an intern and received training at the Islamic International Arab Bank; according to her staff bio at the Hogan Lovells law firm,

Samar’s experience includes advising a Middle Eastern university in the potential establishment of a Foreign Aid Conventional and Shari’ah Compliant Student Loan Program. … Before joining Hogan & Hartson, Samar worked as a summer associate for the firm and as a legal intern for the Islamic International Arab Bank.

One state is preparing itself against Shariah Law

Written by Bruce Walker
Wednesday, 09 June 2010 16:10

Oklahoma lawmakers are supporting an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would prohibit state courts from relying upon Sharia (Islamic law) or international law in deciding cases.

House Joint Resolution 1056 would place the issue before Oklahoma voters in November. This resolution, nicknamed “Save Our State,” has been proposed because of a rising concern with courts citing non-American sources as legal authority. Sharia, in particular, poses a threat to traditional American values. Honor killings and similar crimes are seeping into our nation, with justification under traditional Islamic law an increasingly common concern..

5 Signs Sharia Law Is Coming to a Town Near You
2010 July 14, 2010

Sally Meininger

...
Judicial: Sharia courts are already operating in Britain, but it’s started across the pond too, most recently in Texas, Minnesota, and New Jersey to name a few. This is especially troubling if your president appoints a man sympathetic to Sharia. Harold Koh sees no reason why Sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.

Legislative: When I vote, I just care that the person running is committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution. I don’t care about gender, race or religion, but these guys give me pause: the North Carolina congressman who refuses to denounce Sharia in the U.S. courts and the Minnesota congressman who swore his oath of office on the Koran. I’m pretty sure the Koran and Sharia have more than a few points in conflict with the Constitution, specifically the first, eighth and thirteenth amendments.

Executive: Before Obama was elected, he went to Kenya to support Raila Odinga, who ran on the platform of imposing Sharia in that country if elected. Um, why? And since then Obama has given a culturally loaded speech to the Muslim world (why not to Mormons? Hari Krishnas?), and has been not just sympathetic, but aggressive in appointing Muslims to key positions–when he’s not literally bowing down to them.

NJ gets its first Muslim superior court judge
Posted on February 18, 2010 by creeping
via University professor becomes first Muslim superior court judge | Watan- Arab American National Newspaper.

A University political science professor became the first Muslim ever to be appointed to the Superior Court in New Jersey on Jan. 27 when he was sworn in to the Family Division of the Court in Somerset County.

Hany Mawla, 36, is also the youngest to be appointed to the Superior Court in the state, said Hesham Mahmoud, media chair of the New Jersey chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Mawla was a partner at Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith and Davis in Woodbridge, where he specialized in family law.

Mawla said he and Davis devised the “Islamic Law and Jurisprudence” course at the University after Sept. 11, 2001, with the help of Abed Awad, an attorney who teaches at Rutgers School of Law-Newark.

Mawla said his involvement in Arab, Muslim and minority concerns is important to him because Arabs have called New Jersey home since 1870, and yet, in his view, they are not featured as prominently in the conversation in the state. He said law is a good way to give his community a voice.

“For me, it was an opportunity to make sure Arabs and Muslims are more a part of the political and civic discourse that occurs in the state,” Mawla said.

Will he use his courtship to give the Arab and Muslim community a voice and be featured prominently in Jersey politics?

Update: The attorney with whom Mawla devised the “Islamic Law and Jurisprudence” course – Abed Awad – defended a Hamas-supporting, terror-website-running, convicted tax-cheating imam.

NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World

Published July 05, 2010

| FoxNews.com

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his “foremost” mission as the head of America’s space exploration

agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA’s orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

Obama hosts dinner for Islamic holy month
By ANN SANNER (AP)

September 1, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation’s culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,” Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday’s daily fast.

The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called “a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress.”

Attendees included Congress’ two Muslim members — Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren…

Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the world’s Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: “America is not — and never will be — at war with Islam.”

Golod grief!

I’d rather have a Mormon running the country than Obama, who is a stealth Muslim. ut, I am not interesting in false choices and dilemas. I am not eager to COMPROMISE. I want a Judeo Christian country. This is what made America great.
