New York Times: America Should Embrace Sharia Law
godfatherpolitics.com ^ | godfatherpolitics.com

Posted on 09/05/2011 9:56:23 AM PDT by Iam1ru1-2

What?! Below is an excerpt from the New York Times. No wonder they are losing readers. With thinking like this, we might as well hand the United States of America over to the Middle East. Letting Muslims and people of other cults practice voluntary ecclesiastical law within their communities is one thing. Muslims wants Shariah law to be the law of the land. State governments are getting smart and shoring up their laws to prevent the courts from forcing Sharia law on American citizens. The New York Times should implement Sharia law upon its employees before letting them write articles like this.

More than a dozen American states are considering outlawing aspects of Shariah law. Some of these efforts would curtail Muslims from settling disputes over dietary laws and marriage through religious arbitration, while others would go even further in stigmatizing Islamic life: a bill recently passed by the Tennessee General Assembly equates Shariah with a set of rules that promote “the destruction of the national existence of the United States.”

Supporters of these bills contend that such measures are needed to protect the country against homegrown terrorism and safeguard its Judeo-Christian values. The Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has said that “Shariah is a mortal threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it.”

This is exactly wrong. The crusade against Shariah undermines American democracy, ignores our country’s successful history of religious tolerance and assimilation, and creates a dangerous divide between America and its fastest-growing religious minority.

B.S. Straw man argument. Supporters of the bill KNOW Sharia is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Any one who supports it is supporting sedition.

If we ever do embrace Shariah Law, it will be liberals who suffer, not conservatives. They're the ones who steal, do drugs, and screw around. One year of strict Shariah and there'd be no liberal women left, and all the liberal men would have only one hand left.

Hm....

America needs to designate the New York Times Building as the Official National Heritage Insane Asylum Landmark and move on.

Muslim Brotherhoods step by step Plans for the Islamification of America and Shariah Law:

Note Phase Three.

(This document offers a chilling operational insight into the mindset, planning, and vision of the Islamic movement in North America.)

“Phase One: Phase of discreet and secret establishment of leadership.

“Phase Two: Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene and exercising and utilizing various public activities (It greatly succeeded in implementing this stage). It also succeeded in achieving a great deal of its important goals, such as infiltrating various sectors of the Government. Gaining religious institutions and embracing senior scholars. Gaining public support and sympathy. Establishing a shadow government (secret) within the Government.

“Phase Three:..... ‘Escalation phase’.... prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through utilizing mass media. Currently in progress.

“Phase Four: Open public confrontation with the Government through exercising the political pressure approach. It is aggressively implementing the above-mentioned approach. Training on the use of weapons domestically and overseas in anticipation of zero-hour. It has noticeable activities in this regard.

“Phase Five: Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation under which all parties and Islamic groups are united.”

Islam is Naziism under cover of religion.

NYT is on the wrong playing field: Firstly Islam is NOT a religion but a socio-legal-system with a false “religious” component.

Sharia is a legal system with brutal physical injury and death as the only available punishments for not obeying the make-it-up-as-you-go-along “religious” component as created and applied without uniformity by any local Moslem senior cleric (Mullah) with little commonality except the most vicious, sadistic and misogynist punishments. Also NYC Mayor Bloomberg has become an ardent Islamist - reflected in the New York Times - since he and his organizations have invested HEAVILY in the Middle East and have fortunes to lose if Arab nations take offense at him and his city in the name of Islam. Bloomberg has also supported approval of providing funds (millions) from local government for the building of the mosque at Ground Zero! With Islamist Dhimmis like him and Moslems like Oba-Hussein in charge, we are being destroyed from within. AND from outside. They need to go!

Good grief...does it ever end?

Remember when the last islamic nut tried to blow up a truck at Times Square and all the media immediately started trying to blame a tea party person?

I had to laugh and told my husband I knew it wasn’t one of our so called ‘nuts’ or that truck would have been parked in front of the NYT building....lol!!

This will lead to legalizing polygamy, beating wives, divorce without legal obligations, sex with boys and domesticated animals, killing of homosexuals, halal food in public schools and universities, new holidays and blameless honor killings.

Now that the left has gotten homosexual marriage rolling along, polygamy is the next agenda. Hollywood is already trivializing it.

I would think only a minority of "New York Jews" are supporting the New York Slimes by reading it or advertising in it. Its circulation has been in a tailspin, and you can bet that at least some of those who deserted it are Jewish, and are well aware of the Slimes' anti-Israel bias, which has gone on for decades.

The decline of the Slimes is far from only a Jewish thing, and far from only a New York thing. It's a well deserved overall American rejection of a newspaper which once boasted that it contained "all the news that's fit to print", simply because that newspaper went from printing hard news to printing leftist political propaganda thinly disguised as news.

I want Noachide Halakhah as the law of the land universally, complete with the death penalty for male homosexuality. Suppose the Times would support me?

Your posting was a bit confusing at first because you didn’t differentiate your opening comments from the actual text that appeared in the paper. You may want to modify that so that it’s clear which is which.

Also, was this an editorial or a straight news article? And is the author listed?

Yeah, what she said.
I followed the link at the blog site and went to the NYT -> got nothing.
Can't find the article.

Got link?
