Jesus For Shariah?
Jeffrey Imm at Responsibility for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) reports that Islam4UK, a British Islamic supremacist group, has launched a PR campaign called “Jesus 4 Shariah” to promote Islamic Shariah law to UK Christians.
In this latest campaign, this group that has called for Sharia-based stonings, amputations, suppression of women, and support for Jihadist terrorists, seeks to persuade the public that Jesus would be against democracy and would be promoting Islamic Sharia law. Islam4UK plans to schedule a “debate” to prove this point at an unknown location on December 18, 2009 in the United Kingdom.
Among its points, Islam4UK asks:
- “Is the message of Jesus pro-secular democracy or pro-total implementation divine law within society?”
- “Would Jesus stand with the oppressed people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine or with the oppressive occupiers?”
But what Islam4UK conveniently leaves out is that Jesus would have no part in the vile treatment of females under Shariah, nor would he condone stonings, suicide bombings, or especially the crucifixion of Christians.
Imm has a plethora of information on Islam4UK, which is reportedly a spin-off of the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.

Obama adviser defends Shariah Law

Dalia Mogahed, the White House adviser on Muslim affairs, appeared on an British television show that was hosted by a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), an Islamic supremacist group who calls for the destruction of capitalism and the establishment of and Islamic caliphate ruled by Shariah law.
In July, HT – which has been labeled as a terrorist group by Russia and banned by numerous other countries (although not the U.S.) – held a conference in a suburb of Chicago entitled “The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam,” where the group condemned democracy and promoted a global Islamic caliphate.
“The portrayal of Sharia has been oversimplified in many cases,” said Mogahed during the interview.
The problem isn’t bigotry and small-mindedness, it’s that Shariah law is barbaric. Among numerous other unpleasantries, Shariah law commands that adulterers are to be stoned to death. Problem is according to Shariah Law, rape is also considered adultery. Does Mogahed tacitly approve of the stoning of little girls being stoned to death after having been gang-raped by Muslim men? It happens.
“The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance,” said Mogahed.
Really? It is worth pointing out then that a woman’s testimony does not count in Shariah. And only eye-witness testimony is considered, not actual evidence.
This may be an “oversimplified” statement, but Shariah also calls for female genital mutilation. Homosexuals are also stoned to death. Plus in Taliban-controlled areas, women are not allowed to buy cucumbers in markets, and are brutally murdered for merely attending school.
How exactly is this “justice for women,” Miss Mogahed? And how on earth do we have White House officials interacting and agreeing with a group that seeks the destruction of our society?
Perhaps “gender justice” means something altogether different to Mogahed: During HT’s July conference, the group distributed pamphlets which condemned “Women’s groups engaged in gender equality campaigns.” She did not challenge any of HT’s platform during the interview, so that is entirely possible.
Barack Obama is all about Muslim outreach, but the Muslims he reaches out to are quite troublesome. Mazen Asbahi, his Muslim Outreach adviser, had to step down last year due to his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and their Palestinian chapter – the terrorist group Hamas. But Mogahed’s interaction with a group that openly admits that they would replace the Constitution with Shariah law merits a much closer inspection of her background.

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.

Real Talking Points for Annapolis Conference
Middle East peace efforts are underway once again in Annapolis. Colonel Oliver North has a column that brings up five key points that the State Department could use to motivate moderate Muslims.
1. Radical leaders like Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hezbollah’s Sheik Nasrallah, and Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh are not in any hurry to become martyrs (think John Cleese in Monty Python’s Life of Brian). These cowards run and hide when danger rears its head while their followers are left to blow themselves up.
2. While jihadists may be experts at building bombs out of spare parts, they cannot build anything that would actually increase their country’s standard of living. The ones driving out the infidels are the destroyers. The “infidels” they seek to drive out are the ones building their infrastructure. (more…)
