ALERT! Sharia Law Promoted in U.S. Mosques

Muslims Against Sharia is reporting that extremist Muslim groups are pushing the concept of 'Shariah Law' in U.S. Mosques.

Shariah Law, as promoted by Islamic extremists, is civil law that is based upon the teachings of the Koran. In Britain, for example, the government has allowed areas populated primarily by Muslims to choose between being governed by Shariah Law or the laws of Great Britain.

Such a thing undermines a sense of community and shared values, not to mention the authority of commonly-accepted law outside the control of sectarian religious groups.

But, as the article will show at the link provided above, there are Muslims who are opposing the extremist version of their religion. One such person is Brigitte Gabriel, who is calling attention to the infiltration of U.S. Mosques around the country by Shariah supporters.

Their goal? To create pockets of Shariah Law within the United States, similar to that within Great Britain. The way to combat this ominous development, according to Gabriel, is to shine the light on the infiltration and to 'map' mosques that adhere to Shariah.

What has all of this got to do with average Americans like you and me? Shariah-friendly Mosques call for violence against us 'infidels.'

'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.

Muslims Against Sharia Slam Flight 93 Memorial

A group of moderate Muslims called 'Muslims Against Sharia' is bringing out the heavy artillery to blast those who are planning the United Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania.

Incensed by the fact that Islamic symbols are being used in the memorial, Muslims Against Sharia says that a group of extremists have hijacked the building process in order to pay homage to terrorists.

And what is the basis for these claims? The Islamic symbols are being used in spite of the fact that there were NO Muslims on United Flight 93 except for the Jihadist terrorists who hijacked and were responsible for bringing down the plane.

Thus, why would Islamic symbols be a part of that memorial unless the group pushing for their inclusion were attempting to pay homage to the terrorists who died as a result of their own detestable activity?

Muslims Against Sharia is at the forefront of the fight to keep the Islamic symbols OUT of the Flight 93 Memorial. A special event has been organized at the memorial site to protest the inclusion of Muslim symbols.

The innocent victims who died in that crash deserve better. Why would ANYONE want to glorify their murderers?

In addition, moderate Muslims want no part of a memorial that glorifies those within Islam who murder, maim, and butcher.

The protest event will take place on August 2, 2008, in Somerset, Pennsylvania.

Obama's 'Stop the Smears' Website Angers Muslims

A group of moderate Muslims is calling for Barack Obama to remove negative references to the term 'Muslim' on his new website called 'Stop the Smears.' The candidate had started the website as part of his Internet rapid response effort to stop the so-called 'smears' and rumors about him that have been circulating around the Internet and the electorate.

The problem is that one of the main 'smears' listed on the site is the rumor/falsehood that 'Obama is a Muslim.' And herein is the root of the moderate Muslims' discontent.

It isn't that it is not true that many in the electorate believe Barack Obama to be a Muslim but that the website refers to that rumor/belief as a 'smear,' the connotation being that to be called a Muslim is tantamount to being libeled or defamed.

Thus, the moderate Muslim group, which calls itself 'Muslims Against Sharia,' is demanding that Obama remove from his website the inference that to be called a Muslim is a 'smear.'

This seems to be a reasonable request.

As the group states, most terrorists are Muslims but most Muslims are not terrorists. Most Muslims do not belong to the extremist Jihadist movement--the 'Islamofascist' segment-- within Islam. Terrorists come from this minority segment in the Muslim religion.

But for Obama to depict being falsely described as a Muslim as a 'smear' seems to indicate that the candidate has trouble differentiating between moderate Muslims and terrorists. If this is not the case, then the candidate has made a glaring error that portrays a shocking lack of forethought for someone who would be President.
