Judge Jeanine's constitutionally correct question about sharia law
American Thinker ^ | 03/18/2019 | By Mark J. Fitzgibbons

Posted on 03/18/2019 8:38:46 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The nation is focused on foreign influence on American politics in any number of ways. The issues range from the discredited witch hunt directed at President Trump, the prosecution of Paul Manafort for failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), congressional investigations into whether Russians used social media to influence elections, Chinese spyware, Representative Ilhan Omar's hostile statements about lawmakers' alleged dual loyalty to Israel, and whether green groups are acting as unregistered foreign agents to the recent announcement by the Justice Department of plans to step up FARA investigations and even the larger debate about whether foreigners entering the United States illegally have the requisite intent of being loyal to our constitutional rule of law — a legitimate concern that any sovereign nation may impose on those who seek permanent inclusion within its boundaries and protections.

Last week, Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro found herself in curious hot water for asking a legitimate question about Ilhan Omar: "Omar wears the hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won't get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"

It was the late Justice Antonin Scalia who raised the profile of the intellectual, constitutional debate about foreign law and its influence on American legal interpretation. Scalia and other originalists have recognized the First Amendment right of Muslims to practice their faith. That issue, however, is distinct from whether foreign law may be used to construe or influence American law under our Constitution, which is our fundamental and paramount law governing government itself.

The question of whether sharia or any foreign laws, including those from socialist regimes, may be used to dilute or even construe American constitutional law is fundamental to our national political debate. Those who seek to suppress that debate in their pursuit of political correctness do substantial harm to the First Amendment under, which they purportedly operate.

Judge Jeanine's question posits correctly that sharia law "is antithetical to the United States Constitution," not that Muslims may not practice their faith. The National Center for Constitutional Studies, for example, writes that "Shariah is Anti-Constitutional" and makes these observations about conflicts between sharia law and the U.S. Constitution

Pirro’s remarks that got her in trouble show she was addressing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) about the growing anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party. Omar got to wear a hijab b/c Peloi got the rules changed that disallowed it. According to the Quran, women cover themselves so they won’t get molested.

Judge Jeannine asked: “Is Omar’s adherence to Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”


Jews have been persecuted almost from the beginning of time, when they were forced out of Egypt, to the six million killed in the Holocaust. And now we are witnessing the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe where incidents are up seventy-four percent in the last year alone in France. Where Jewish cemeteries are regularly desecrated with swastikas and people relay the common tropes of Jews with too much money and influence.

We all know how it starts. Hate is hate. Hate leads to violence and violence leads to retaliation. Which then leads to unrest and worse.

Thr Omar brouhaha is all about hating Israel. President Trump was right when he said the Democrat Party is now the anti-Israel party. Nancy should know, history has proven over an over when you appease anti-Semitic sentiment, the worst happens.

And for Nancy, the danger is that appeasing this behavior will lead to your removal. Nancy also placed Omar on the Foreign Relations Committee.......at Omar’s request. Pelosi also appointed Muslim Cong Andre Carson on the Intel Committee where he has a stranglehold over Americans’ safety and security.

Does not bode well for Democrats, now controlled by socialists and anti-Semites, and the 2020 presidential race.

Pelosi must step down for endangering Americans.

Lookit how proud Nancy is of the creepy, evil-eyed, tag-head Omar.
Pelosi obediently put the creep on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.....bowing to Omar's request.

REFERENCE----Pelosi to name first Muslim lawmaker to House intelligence committee
By LAUREN FRENCH 01/13/2015 01/13/2015

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the “coming days” to the key national security-focused panel. Pelosi (D-Calif.) told lawmakers of the appointment during the members’ weekly caucus meeting.

Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center — the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice and the military.

The intelligence committee will most likely tackle a series of high-profile international crises during the 114th Congress, including the threat of Islamic militants and Ukraine.

Meet the Muslim Democrat Congressman with a stranglehold on your safety and security----
APPOINTED BY NANCY PELOSI.

Here's the shocking list of Congressional committees under the control of Indiana Democrat Andre Carson.

NOTE--The DNC places a price on these committees---Congressman wishing to be placed on the committee pay up front. Where did Muslim Carson get the money to get on these highly sensitive committees? Is Carson funneling Islamic cash into the DNC? Do his Indiana constituents know Carson bought these seats?

“Scalia and other originalists have recognized the First Amendment right of Muslims to practice their faith.”

Scalia was wrong. Of course the framers would never consider a 7th century, anti-American, anti-natural law, misogynist, boy-buggering, militant death cult to be covered under the rubric of religion. Then again, they would never have been stoopid enough to let these enemy combatants into the country.

Freedom of religion was put in to keep the various factions of Christianity(religion of liberty) from conflicting with one another.

What’s her status? I’ve heard two-week suspension effect this past weekend. But unless I missed it, not a peep have I heard on Fox from Tucker or Hannity. Kurtz had comments on “Media Buzz” about her disappearance including a quote via Twitter from President Trump. But there has been no explanation coming forth from Fox.

Sharia law is incompatible with the United States Constitution. It would supersede it, and replace it. This is a fact that gets you fired. An undeniable truth, that could set us free - so it must be suppressed.

When a legitimate question gets you fired, we're all in big trouble.

There would be no personal liberty in Western Civilization - nor even the general concept of it - without Biblical Christianity.

You need to study the issue and understand what it really means because right now you have it completely wrong.
It is a prohibition on the government from doing something.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...

This was put in place to prevent the government from establishing a governmental or national church/religion. (think of "Church of England")

respecting an establishment of religion national religion

First Amendment and Religion
The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The precise definition of "establishment" is unclear. Historically, it meant prohibiting state-sponsored churches, such as the Church of England.

The freedom of religion aspect meant that any denomination could open their own churches and followers of the denomination wouldn't be forced to comply with the teachings of a mandatory, government created church.
