Op-ed:
Sharia law...another reason to vote Obama out
By: Diane Sori
Over the past few years, sharia law has been slowly working its way into American society and into our judicial system, so much so that some U.S. judges are even citing sharia law in their rulings even when those rulings conflict with Constitutional protections.
But thankfully, Americans are starting to fight back against the intrusion of this barbaric and subjugating system of jurisprudence for we know that sharia law has NO place in our land let alone in our courts.
In November 2010, federal judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange placed a temporary block on an Oklahoma amendment that would stop state judges from consulting sharia law when a case involving muslims came before them. This temporary block, issued as a restraining order, came just a few days after the Oklahoma chapter of CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) filed a lawsuit. CAIR alleged the amendment violated the First Amendment's Establishment Clause that bars government bodies from making laws respecting the establishment of religion.
However, when the issue of allowing sharia law into Oklahoma’s courts appeared on their ballot last November, an overwhelming 70% of voters passed ‘Referendum Question 75’ which stated, “This measure ... makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using sharia law.”
Being that sharia law is islamic law and islamic law only, based solely on the qur’an and the teachings of mohammed, the voters rightly decided that sharia law had NO place in their state’s court system and that the rule of law in Oklahoma will be American law only...as it should be.
Now Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has signed into law a bill aimed at keeping Kansas courts and government agencies from basing any decisions and rulings on islamic (sharia) or any foreign legal codes, and 20 other states are considering similar legislation.
The citizens of Oklahoma and the Governor of Kansas were wise enough to see that sharia law primarily is a law that violates the human rights of women, and that the so-called legal aspects of sharia, with its strict and harsh punishments for even minor or just perceived infractions, basically de-humanizes women, and that it is counter to the laws stated in our Constitution. In fact, the entire concept of sharia law is diametrically opposite our Constitution.
Our Declaration of Independence speaks of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, sharia law speaks of death, subjugation, and misery. Under sharia law women are nothing more than caged animals that are sometimes treated kindly but always disciplined when the husband, father, brother, or for that matter ANY male, feels they’ve been disobedient or that they’ve dishonored the family. And if a woman dishonors her family, and this means something as simple as dating a non-muslim or just talking to one, sharia law says to kill them but that NO punishment will be adjudicated to the killer.
Talk about unequal protection under the law!
Most muslims come to America to leave behind the discriminatory and barbaric laws imposed upon them under sharia. So why then would our courts want to subject any muslim, especially muslim women, living here to sharia law, because by doing so they are actually violating the principles upon which America was founded and upon which we as a free people live.
Why...that answer is simple...it’s because we have Barack Hussein Obama for president is why. This man tramples on our Constitutional law while condoning the principals of sharia, and as such has allowed groups like CAIR to file frivolous law suits and to dictate to us how we are to interpret OUR Constitution so that it fits their backwards and brutal way of life.
CAIR, and other groups of their kind, are using OUR Constitution against ‘We the People’ as this president sits back and does nothing for the bottom line is that he wants our beloved America to become an islamic caliphate with himself as leader. After all he is one of them.
Just another reason why Barack Hussein Obama MUST be voted out of office this November.
Muslim
Brotherhood proxies ICNA and MAS are sponsoring a convention May 26 –
28, 2012 in Hartford, CT to educate their stealth jihadists on how best
to help the public understand Sharia and counter the rise of
‘Islamophobia’ in America.” The campaign aims to shift focus from the
‘misnomer’ Sharia law and draw attention to what really is at stake
here—your religious freedom. (Nice obfuscation there)
The focus of the event will be on sharia, Islamic law that is intended to govern the lives of believers. The Blaze has covered the opposition that exists to Muslim law here in America numerous times before.
