What is Sharia and why should Americans know more about it?
Sharia is the law of Islam and it’s derived from the writings of Mohammed in the Qu’ran. It regulates public behavior, private behavior, and every facet of life. It is, without a doubt, the most restrictive and intrusive legal system in the world and the most oppressive against women. Sharia is used in all Muslim countries and is preferred by Muslims who live in non-Muslim countries. Unfortunately, some European countries have allowed Sharia to exist along with their secular legal system. It is essential for all of us, in America, to reject Sharia.
To illustrate why we should never allow it in the United States it is important that we know more about it, what it is, and what it would be like to live under it. The only way to really understand Sharia is to become familiar with some of its barbaric rules which include:
*jihad…it is the duty of each Muslim to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion.
*criticizing or denying any part of the Qu’ran is punishable by death.
*criticizing Mohammed or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
*criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death.
*a Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
*theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
*a non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
*a man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is nine years old.
*in Mohammed’s words, a girl’s clitoris should be cut (female genital mutilation).
*a man can beat his wife for insubordination.
*testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
*a woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist.
*a man can have four wives and a woman only one husband.
*a female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
*Muslims should engage in taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
*a Muslim will be forgiven for murder of an apostate, an adulterer, a highway robber, and honor killing is acceptable.
*Sharia never abolished slavery, or sexual slavery, and it is highly regulated. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.
*Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading and flogging, even for crimes such as adultery.
*non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law. They must pay a jizya (tax) and preferably convert to Islam or eventually be killed.
*homosexuality is punishable by death.
*a Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body which is considered Awrah, a sexual organ.
*a Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife when he caught her in the act of adultery.
* the Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use or sold into slavery.
*a man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband’s consent to divorce.
*many Muslims living in the United States believe that Sharia is greater than the Constitution and that they do not have to comply with the laws of the United States.
The more one learns about Sharia the more we should ask “Why are the Liberals so anxious to import more, and to pander to, Muslims?” Have they forgotten how to be Americans? Do they relish the idea of being enslaved? Do they have a death wish? Has the political correctness, and ultra-Liberal brainwashing, been so intense that they are like robots controlled by an evil force?
What is needed is a Federal law banning ALL foreign laws and only recognizing the United States Constitution. Americans need to wake up and see what danger can occur in our country if the proper measures are not taken to resist Sharia. Remember, you are not Islamophobic if you reject Sharia. You are an American who loves your freedom and your Constitution.
