Osama bin Laden on Shariah Law
Muslims, and especially the learned among them, should spread sharia law to the world–that and nothing else. Not laws under the “umbrella of justice, morality, and rights” as understood by the masses. No, the sharia of Islam is the foundation.
They say that our sharia does not impose our particular beliefs upon others; this is a false assertion. For it is, in fact, part of our religion to impose our particular beliefs upon others.
Thus whoever refuses the principle of terror[ism] against the enemy also refuses the commandment of Allah the Exalted, the Most High, and His sharia.

Harvard Muslim chaplain sees “great wisdom” in killing apostates
An Islamic chaplain at Harvard, Taha Abdul-Basser (born and raised in New York City), has expressed his support for the execution of apostates (those who abandon Islam). The Harvard Crimson originally published the article on April 4.
“I believe he doesn’t belong as the official chaplain, an Islamic student who asked to remain anonymous to avoid co, who asked that he not be named in order to avoid conflicts with Muslim religious authorities. (Surely he can’t mean the ‘religion of peace’) “If the Christian ministers said that people who converted from Christianity should be killed, don’t you think the University should do something?”
Exactly. It would be ten minutes – not ten days and counting – before this guy was out of Harvard and all over the news. There would be plenty of condemnation from the Christian church. But apart from a few brave Harvard and M.I.T. students (including another student who requested that he not be named for fear of harming his relationship with the Islamic community), there is no condemnation from the “moderate Muslim majority. In fact, there is plenty of support for the chaplain found in the article and comments.
