Sharia Law is Islamic religious law; the law of Allah. It is a body of commands that, if followed, “will provide a path to salvation”. Sharia means the “path to water”, or from Arabic History “the straight path to an oasis”. Sharia laws were created in the 8th Century and remain the holy law of Islam.
Our Bill of Rights was first submitted to Congress on September 25th, 1789. There were twelve original proposed amendments submitted to the state legislatures and ten were ratified and became effective on December 15, 1791.
The first most glaring contradiction with American law is the First Amendment; Sharia Law is the antithesis of our law i.e. “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibit the exercise thereof… .” We have communities in America whom have been allowed to practice Sharia Law which tramples our rights and liberties as Americans and enforces its own legal system upon Americans.
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh & Eight Amendments regarding juries, prosecutions, speedy trials, excessive fines and cruel punishment: Sharia Law has its own set of major and minor offenses and punishments. Some of these crimes are published in our local media. One outstanding one this year was where a Muslim ran over his daughter for dressing and behaving like a westerner. Also killing one’s wife for adultery or setting a friend’s flat afire for blaspheme are acceptable behaviors. All are justified under Sharia Law. Sharia Law is derived from four main sources, the Qur’an, the Hadith (the record of actions and sayings of Muhammad), the Ijima (consensus of Islamic Scholars and Qiyas (reasoning that uses modern analogies to apply precedence). Why has Nidal Hasan, the army officer (“suspected”) who killed 13 at Fort Hood in 2009 not seen a jury trial yet? Most probably, because we have a Muslim in our White House, and Hasan was just practicing his rights as a Jihadist as instructed in the Qur’an. Allah’s laws overrule our rule of law. We shall not see a trial while we have a Muslim POTUS.
Ninth & Tenth Amendment, the enumeration of the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people (10th re: States): This Administration is disparaging the laws of the people left and right in many states including several laws here in Arizona. Sharia Law dictates dietary standards, marriage, disallows freedom of speech, mandates a dress code, fasting, zakat, slavery, enterprise limits and standards.
Our Bill of Rights protects us from all that Sharia Law wishes to impose upon American citizens. How is it possible, in the name of a religion, is this allowed to occur in our country?
