Shariah Law

For this Freedom Friday, I want to awaken my readers to the dangers of shariah law. I recently spent several hours reading a report released about a week ago by the Center for Security Policy entitled "Shariah - the Threat to America - An Exercise in Competitive Analysis." I will admit that I did not understand everything I read in the 148-page report supported by 24 pages of "notes," but I did come away from the exercise with a new understanding about the dangers of shariah law. As I understand it, shariah law is "firmly rooted in Islam's doctrinal texts" and is the system under which Islam plans to take over the world by either violence or stealth. I recommend that all of you read the report as soon as possible. The study was completed by a team of nineteen experts consisting of military officers, ambassadors, special agents, former Director of Central Intelligence, former assistants to Cabinet members, etc.

"This study is the result of months of analysis, discussion and drafting by a group of top security policy experts concerned with the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time: the legal-political-military doctrine known within Islam as `shariah.' It is designed to provide a comprehensive and articulate `second opinion' on the official characterizations and assessments of this threat as put forth by the United States government."

The study asserts that the United States has "an enemy inside our perimeter" and that our national security is at grave risk. It makes the following conclusion: 1) The United States government under successive presidents has failed to understand how shariah law poses a direct threat to our constitutional form of government and free society. 2) Shariah law is "an alien legal system" that is "hostile to and in contravention of the U.S. Constitution." 3) Because this law dictates both violent and non-violent means to establish shariah law in America, proponents of it should be considered as engaging in criminal sedition and not a protected practice of a religion.

The report lists eight recommendations for policy and programmatic changes: 1) Americans in all walks of life "must be equipped with an accurate understanding of the nature of shariah and the necessity of keeping America shariah-free. Specifically, we must resist efforts to allow the "alien and barbaric legal code" of shariah to become "an alternate, parallel system to the Constitution and the laws enacted pursuant to it." Those who have taken an oath to "support and defend" the Constitution must honor that oath.
2) Agencies and organizations of the US government should stop their outreach to Muslim communities through Muslim Brotherhood fronts whose mission is to destroy our country from within…" 3) Add those who espouse or support shariah to the hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan who are currently banned from holding positions of trust in federal, state, or local governments or the armed forces of our nation. 4) Proscribe "Practices that promote shariah … are incompatible with the Constitution and the freedoms it enshrines." 5) Warn imams and mosques that advocate shariah in America that "they are promoting seditious activity" and that they "will not be immune from prosecution" because "sedition is prohibited by law in the United States." 6) Textbooks "must not promote shariah, its tenets, or the notion that America must submit to its dictates" whether used in secular educational systems or Islamic schools. 7) Any communities or compounds seeking to "segregate themselves on the basis of shariah law, apply it alongside or in lieu of the law of the land, or otherwise establish themselves as `no-go' zones for law enforcement and other authorities must be thwarted in such efforts," and "assertion of claims to territory around mosques should be proscribed." 8) Supporters of shariah law should not be allowed to immigrate to the United States.

The study indicates that the United States is in this dangerous situation because Americans are too concerned about political correctness and tolerance and not concerned enough about learning about the Constitution and why the United States became and remains a great nation. As I read this study I could not help but make the comparison between the Muslim Brotherhood in America with the Gadianton Robbers in the Book of Mormon. Both groups share the goal of destroying government and freedom.
