Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood
Telegraph ^ | October 8 | Andrew Gilligan and Alex Spillius

Posted on 10/08/2009 3:21:24 PM PDT by PghBaldy

President Barack Obama's adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, has provoked controversy by appearing on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist group to talk about Sharia Law.

They called for Sharia Law to be "the source of legislation" and said that women should not be "permitted to hold a position of leadership in government". Miss Mogahed made no challenge to these demands and said that "promiscuity" and the "breakdown of traditional values" were what Muslims admired least about the West. She said: "I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media. "The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance. "The portrayal of Sharia has been oversimplified in many cases."

Miss Mogahed, who was born in Egypt and moved to America at the age of five, is the first veiled Muslim woman to serve in the White House. Her appointment was seen as a sign of the Obama administration's determination to reach out to the Muslim world.

“Stone her, Stone her!” — a frequent application of Sharia law in families.

No Mogahead, you misunderstand the Bill of Rights.

And if you try that Sharia crap here, we will send you south, or back home.

Not much to be mis-understood about it. Capital punishment for having an affair? No trial by peers? Eff you Mogahead.

Sharia:

We coddle the virus of Islam as a religion and not as a violent social and political system bent on our destruction. What we are doing is called slow suicide.

I wonder if Dalia Mogahed would like to interview this poor woman prior to her stoning. You know, an indepth interview.

What is it about their intent for government overthrow in favor of Islamic theocracy, beheading, stoning and honor killings that I misunderstand? Just curious.

6. Islam commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated.

5. Islam commands that homosexuals must be executed

Don’t forget that Islam encourages marrying children.

Oh and it allows relations with farm animals.
