Sharia Law Makes Islam Much More Than A Religion ~ Florida Family Association

Sharia law makes Islam much more than a religion.  Its broad doctrine and application to non-Muslims make Islam a political entity, a government with goals of global dominion.

Definition of Sharia law and relationship to Muslim faith. Muslim is defined as “a worshipper of Islam.”  Islam is a religion articulated by the Qur‘an.   Sharia is the Islamic law which governs every aspect of a Muslims life.  The instruction in the Quran and the examples set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad are the two main sources of inspiration for Islamic Sharia law.

According to the Encyclopedia of Islam “Within Muslim discourse, sharia designates the rules and regulations governing the lives of Muslims, derived in principle from the Kuran and hadith. In this sense, the word is closely associated with fiḳh [q.v.], which signifies academic discussion of divine law.”

Sharia governs secular law, including crime, politics and economics as well as prescribing religious conduct and ritual.  Sharia is the equivalent of federal and state statues combined with religious doctrine.  In countries where Sharia is the political code it rules over the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.  Islamic judges interpret Sharia in countries and territories where it has official government status.  Several countries are governed entirely by Islamic Sharia law.  These countries will be described in the next section.

The multi-governing aspects of Sharia mean that Islam is much more than a religion.  Islam is also a political entity with governmental code set by Sharia.  Its broad doctrine and application to non-Muslims make Islam a political entity, a government with goals of global dominion.

Countries governed by Sharia. The first system of government established in Islam and represented the leader’s unity of the Muslim Ummah community was called Caliphate.  Caliphate is the worldwide dominion by an Islamic sort of emperor called Caliph who is charged with enforcing Sharia law on all earthly inhabitants.  Sunni Islam and Shia Islam both believe in a global ruler called caliph who will some day govern the world using Sharia law.

Sharia is the governing law or primary legislative doctrine in many countries including:  Aceh, Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Egypt, Gambia, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, West Java and Yemen.

LONDON Dailymail.co.uk July 28, 2011 “Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Sharia law enforcement zones have been set up.” Communities have been bombarded with the posters, which read: ‘You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced.’  The bright yellow messages daubed on bus stops and street lamps have already been seen across certain boroughs in London and order that in the ‘zone’there should be ‘no gambling’, ‘no music or concerts’, ‘no porn or prostitution’, ‘no drugs or smoking’ and ‘no alcohol’. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has claimed responsibility for the scheme, saying he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the UK and ‘put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term’.  In the past week, dozens of streets in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham have been targeted, raising fears that local residents may be intimidated or threatened for flouting ‘Islamic rules’. Choudary, who runs the banned militant group Islam4UK, warned: ‘We now have hundreds if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us and a print run of between 10,000 and 50,000 stickers ready for distribution.’

EGYPT This picture, taken at a late 2011 protest in Egypt, has been making the rounds on various Arabic websites. Note the rope around the women, herding them like camels; note the man to the right holding the leash, walking them. This is a common “precautionary measure” to keep women from mixing with men during protests. Egypt converted their public policy for all citizens to Sharia  after  the  United  States  helped  the   Muslim

Brotherhood organization called the Arab Spring to seize control of the country with the election of Mohammed Mursi.

Egyptian cleric Sheik Muhammad Sallah made the case for Sharia law. Appearing on Al-Hekma TV in Egypt on May 4, he said that if Egypt would simply force its citizens to live by the “Shari’a of Allah,“ it would become the ”mightiest nation in the world” and even more wealthy than Sweden.

PARIS - Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force. This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene. It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban    the   burqa,    other   parts  of  the   French

government continue to give Islam a privileged status.

An ordinary French citizen who has been watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. He used a hidden camera to start posting videos on YouTube. His life has been threatened and so he uses the alias of “Maxime Lepante. ”

RUSSIA Chechnya broke away from Russia in 1991 and continues to fight for independence.  Chechnya battles against Russian federal control with Sharia law as its most likely replacement.  Moscow has the largest Muslim population in Europe, with four mosques in the Russian capital city serving some two million people.  Russia is Iran’s strongest ally.

Provisions of Sharia that conflict with American laws.

Sharia law advocates many practices that conflict with the rights afforded under the United States Constitution and/or violate state and federal law including:

• Perjury, Muslims are permitted and prompted to lie to non-Muslims.
• Discrimination, Muslims are permitted and impelled to discriminate against non-Muslims.
• Abolition of adoption rights otherwise granted under American laws.
• Abolition of Wills, Inheritance Instruments and Last Testaments established under American laws.
• Abolition of certain interest income otherwise specified in loan, mortgage and other borrowing documents.
• Diminished rights of women in court.  It takes the testimony of two women to equal one man in Sharia court.
• Polygamy, Muslim men may marry up to four wives.  Muhammad married thirteen women in violation of the Qur’an which he inspired his prophets to write.
• Pedophilia, Muslim men can marry girls as young as 14.  However, Muhammad took a wife named Ayesha that was nine years old.
• Muslim husbands are given the right to beat their wives as a form of discipline.
• Severe discipline toward women including isolation, discrimination, full body cover, genital mutilation and beatings.
• Savage retribution including amputating limbs and gouging out eyes for crimes like theft.
• Barbaric marital punishment toward women including rape, honor killing and public stoning.
• The killing of adulterers, homosexuals and Islamist apostates.
• Imprisonment and/or execution of blasphemers and non-believers.
• Vicious jihad against non-Muslims to establish Islam’s rule worldwide.  Muslims who cannot take on physical jihad must support it with their money.

The following passages from the Qur’an appear to order Muslims to fight those who do not believe in Allah.

Qur’an 9:29  Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.

Sahih Muslim 30 Muhammad said:  I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.”

Sahih Muslim 4366 “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslims.”

Surah 9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

Qur’an 9:73 O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.

Qur’an 9:111  Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.

Qur’an 9:123 O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness.

Sharia violence espoused in American mosques. Study finds that Sharia minded Imams recommended studying violence-positive texts in 84.5% of United States mosques.

The study was conducted by Dr. Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi, Esq. who are highly regarded experts on Sharia.  David Yerushalmi, Esq. who runs the American Freedom Law Center with Robert J. Muise, Esq. is called The Man Behind the Anti-Shariah Movement … by the New York Times.  Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar-Ilan University is an academic expert on the Israeli Arab population.

Survey abstract:  A random survey of 100 representative mosques in the U.S. was conducted to measure the correlation between Sharia adherence and dogma calling for violence against non-believers.  Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51% had texts on site rated as severely advocating violence; 30% had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19% had no violent texts at all.  Mosques that presented as Sharia adherent were more likely to feature violence-positive texts on site than were their non-Sharia-adherent counterparts.  In 84.5% of the mosques, the imam recommended studying violence-positive texts.  The leadership at Sharia-adherent mosques was more likely to recommend that a worshipper study violence-positive texts than leadership at non-Sharia-adherent mosques.  Fifty-eight percent of the mosques invited guest imams known to promote violent jihad.  The leadership of mosques that featured violence-positive literature was more likely to invite guest imams who were known to promote violent jihad than was the leadership of mosques that did not feature violence-positive literature on mosque premises.  Read more at Terrorismanalysts.com

Sharia in America. If anyone doubts that Muslims have a strong interest in and plans for Islamizing America with Sharia all they have to do is consider the efforts of Islamic organizations in the United States.

Several Muslim Brotherhood front organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Islamic Circle of North America (ISNA) are vigorously fighting bills in congress and twenty state legislatures that would prohibit courts from considering provisions of foreign laws including Sharia if they are inconsistent with the United States and state constitutions.

CAIR, whose former name was “The Islamic Organization of Palestine” issued this  March 1, 2012PRNewswire-USNewswire report:  “The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today released a community toolkit designed to assist those seeking to preserve America’s ideal of religious pluralism in the face of unconstitutional “anti-Sharia” bills that have been introduced in more than 20 states nationwide.”

The Islamic Circle of North America waged a billboard campaign in Kansas aimed at opposing legislation that would prohibit Kansas courts from considering Sharia law.  Thankfully the Kansas Legislature approved the bill which was signed into law by Governor Sam Brownback.  The Islamic Circle of North America web site has not updated their map below to report that Kansas passed the legislation.

The Islamic Circle of North America reports legislation to prohibit state courts from considering foreign laws including Islamic Sharia: •    Failed in 14 states:  Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. •    Passed in 4 states:  Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee. •    Stalled in 5 states:  Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey.

The best way to make sure that domestic law enforcement agencies do not detect the multitude of deviations from American law influenced by Sharia is to pressure law enforcement to stop looking at Muslims.

Islamists succeeded in influencing the Obama administration’s FBI to scrub 1,000 counter terrorism presentations and curricula on Islam. FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8, 2012 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant  Arabic  groups  who  in  the  past  have   defended  Hamas   and

Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements. At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed “offensive.” The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered “offensive” but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered “anti-Islam” by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and fights government corruption, has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01183)) against the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking access to records detailing a February 2012 meeting between FBI Director Robert Mueller and Muslim organizations. Judicial Watch is also investigating the FBI’s subsequent controversial decision to purge the agency’s training curricula of material deemed “offensive” to Muslims.

The New York Times empowered the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) demand that the New York Police Department (NYPD) stop counter terrorist surveillance involving mosques and the Muslim Students’ Association.

The Muslim Students’ Association is “the mother ship of all the Muslim Brotherhood front groups” according to Jihadwatch.org.

Here is the Muslim Students’ Association pledge.  “Allah is my lord.  Islam is my life.  The Koran is my guide.  The Sunna is my practice.  Jihad is my spirit.  Righteousness is my character.  Paradise is my goal.  I enjoin what is right.  I forbid what is wrong.  I will fight against oppression.  And I will die to establish Islam.”

USA Today reports New York Police Department “spokesman Paul Browne provided a list of 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges in the United States and abroad who had once been members of Muslim student associations, which the NYPD referred to as MSAs.”

Islamists (CAIR) demand that counter terrorist expert be barred from training law enforcement officers.  The Council on American Islamic Relations wrote a letter calling on the Florida Department on Law Enforcement and other officials to stop allowing counter terrorist expert Sam Kharoba from training their officers.

Judicial board rebukes Pennsylvania Judge Mark Martin for ruling that it was ok for a Muslim immigrant to physically attack and choke an American citizen because the Muslim was unaware that Sharia law did not apply in Pennsylvania.  Judge Martin’s flawed ruling underscores the legal calamity that public officials are inflicting on the rights afforded citizens under the United States Constitution by recognizing Sharia law.

These are just a few examples of the efforts to Islamize America through Sharia ideology.  CAIR has staffed offices in many states that are working to legitimize Islam and prevent examination of Islamists’ long term goal of Islamizing America.

What should our government’s response be to Sharia?

Elected officials across America are sworn in to office by vowing “I, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State.”  Most citizens would interpret that oath to mean that their elected officials in government should oppose the avocation of ideas that are antithetical to the constitution and the liberties it guarantees.

Many of the provisions of Sharia law are in conflict with the rights afforded under the United States Constitution.  Some of the practices advocated by Sharia violate state law.

It is just as much a violation of the oath of office for elected officials to embrace the Communist Manifesto as it is for them to accept provisions of Sharia law that conflict with our constitution.  And it would be just a treasonous to allow the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) to change American public policy as it would be to allow the Council on American Islamic Relations, Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Student Association or other Muslim Brotherhood front organizations in American to change this country’s constitutional liberties and rights to comply with Sharia.

The most common way that Sharia is birthed into a society is not by enactment from elected officials but by elected officials ignoring the Islamic laws’ application by practicing Muslims within their jurisdiction.  The Tampa Police Department’s ignoring the honor killing of Fatima Abdallah is one example.  The Hillsborough County School Board ignoring CAIR’s teaching students in Tampa about Sharia law is another example.  As the population of Muslims grow within that society and their political influence becomes stronger application of Sharia moves from acceptance by ignorance to adoption by their elected officials.

Florida Family Association is opposing Sharia in America by:

• Supporting legislation that prohibits courts from recognizing foreign laws including Islamic Sharia law.
• Confronting public officials who violate their oath of office by embracing provisions of Sharia law that are inconsistent with American laws.
• Exposing corporations that embrace or facilitate groups like CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) who support Sharia in America.
