'Muslims for Obama' Seeks to Impose Sharia Law

A group that calls itself 'Muslims for Obama' is calling for the passage of laws in the U.S. that impose Sharia on American culture, according to the website Muslims Against Sharia.

While the group stops short of calling for imposing the full force and letter of Sharia law, the laws the group wants to implement would be a form of Sharia law, or 'Sharia light,' which would make drastic accommodations for American Muslims that are not made for any other religious group.

For example, 'Muslims for Obama' wants a federal law that requires employers to give Muslim employees time off on Fridays for 'Jummah Prayer.'

In addition, they want laws requiring prayer areas for 'Jummah' or 'Salah' in public and private buildings such as airports, government offices, shopping malls, and universities.

They also want their religious holidays made into national holidays recognized by the U.S. Government, with time off from work provided. They want provision for special Halal meals to be offered in public schools, federal buildings, and colleges. They want laws preventing any perceived 'harassment' of Muslim women who wear Hijab in public areas such as airports, the DMV, etc.

And last but not least, they want a special committee of Muslim Americans to make recommendations concerning U.S. foreign policy.

It should not escape our attention that the group considers Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama sympathetic to their cause.

This is not simply a group of Muslims who support Obama. This is a group with an agenda, an agenda which they see as having a chance of being implemented if Barack Obama is elected President of the United States.

For this reason, Muslims Against Sharia denounces 'Muslims for Obama' and suggests that if it is Sharia law they want, there are plenty of places outside the U.S. that have exactly what they're looking for.

True. But then, leaving would not be following the script. It is revolution they want--change. And if their ideas are implemented, then change will surely result, that's for sure.

Perhaps now we can begin to see a bit more clearly what, exactly, Obama means when he keeps uttering the word 'change' without actually describing the type of change he has in mind.
