A good friend asked that I post this for him. Really sums this up rather well. there is NO WAY sharia law is compliant or can ever work with our Constitution.
From the book: Sharia Law For The Non-Muslims, Page 3.
By Bill Warner from the Center For The Political Study Of Islam,
Under Sharia law:
There is no freedom of religion
There is no freedom of speech
There is no freedom of thought
There is no freedom of artistic expression
There is no freedom of the press
There is no equality of peoples—a non-Muslim, a Kafi r, is never
equal to a Muslim
There is no equal protection under Sharia for different classes of
people. Justice is dualistic, with one set of laws for Muslim males and
different laws for women and non-Muslims.
There are no equal rights for women
Women can be beaten
A non-Muslim cannot bear arms
There is no democracy, since democracy means that a non-Muslim
is equal to a Muslim
Our Constitution is a man-made document of ignorance, jahiliyah,
that must submit to Sharia
Non-Muslims are dhimmis, third-class citizens
All governments must be ruled by Sharia law
Unlike common law, Sharia is not interpretive, nor can it be
changed
There is no Golden Rule
--------------------------------
Here is what my friend has to say:
The summary below highlights the serious disconnects between the provisions
of the US Constitution and those of Sharia Law.
===== ===== ====
LEGISLATIVE POWERS
US Constitution
Article I - All legislative Powers shall be vested in the Congress.
Sharia Law
The source of legal rulings for all acts of those who are morally
responsible is Allah. (a1.1) It is not a sin to comply with man-made laws
that require buying auto insurance or having a photo ID because "the
authorities are responsible for the sin, not the individual forced to
comply." (w42.3 and w50.4)
POWER TO DECLARE WAR
US Constitution
Section 8 - Powers of Congress include to levy taxes, to make laws, and to
declare war.
Sharia Law
It is obligatory to obey the commands and interdictions of the caliph or his
representative in everything that is lawful, even if he is unjust . .
because the purpose of his authority is Islamic unity, which could not be
realized if obeying him were not obligatory. (o25.5) The caliph or his
representative have the duty of undertaking jihad if their territory
borders on enemy lands, of dividing the spoils of battle, and of remitting a
fifth for "deserving recipients." (o25.9(8))
Jihad is obligatory for everyone when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims.
(o9.3) It is permissible in jihad to cut down the enemy's trees and destroy
their dwellings. (o9.1)
PRESIDENT (CALIPH)
US Constitution
Article II, Section I -- Qualifications of a President - He must be a
natural born citizen, thirty-five years old, and a resident for fourteen
years. The President is elected by ballot by the people (via the Electors)
and shall serve for no more than 2 four-year terms.
No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or
public trust under the United States.
Sharia Law
A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave, a male, of the Quraysh tribe, etc.
(o25.0)
The Caliph appoints a group to select his successor among themselves. There
is no a term of office. However, the caliphate of someone who seizes power
is considered valid, even though his act of usurpation is disobedience, in
view of the danger from anarchy and strife that would otherwise ensue.
(o25.4(3))
(Note: The Islamic Caliphate was disbanded the Turkish Parliament in 1924.)
REMOVAL OF GOVERNMENT OFFICERS
US Constitution
Section 4 - The President and all civil Officers of the United States shall
be removed from office if found guilty of treason, bribery, or other high
crimes and misdemeanors.
Sharia Law
(No provision for removal from office.)
LEGAL AUTHORITY
US Constitution
Article VI - This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall
be made under it shall be the supreme law of the land, and judges in every
state shall be bound by them.
Senators and Representatives, legislative officers, all executive and
judicial officers both of the United States and the several states shall be
bound by a Oath or Affirmation to support the Constitution.
Sharia Law
The source of legal rulings for all acts of those who are morally
responsible is Allah. (a1.1)
CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS
US Constitution
Amendment 1 - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech, or the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and
to petition the Government for redress of grievances.
Sharia Law
Non-Muslims are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the
safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. Non-Muslims are
forbidden to openly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures, or make a
public display of feast days or funerals. Non-Muslims are forbidden to
build new churches. A non-Muslim may not enter a mosque without
permission. The protection for non-Muslims is withdrawn if a non-Muslim
commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her, leads a Muslim away
from Islam, kills a Muslim, or says anything derogatory about Allah, the
Prophet, or Islam. (o11.5 through o11.10)
US Constitution
Amendment 2 - The right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed.
Sharia Law
It is a condition that someone buying weapons be of a people who are not at
war with Muslims. (k1.2(f))
Enormities (sins) include selling weapons to non-Muslims who will use them
against us. (w52.1(192))
US Constitution
Amendment 3 - No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house,
without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner
prescribed by law.
Sharia Law
(Not covered.) However, the Pact of Omar (636 AD) imposed on Christians in
Syria, "We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We
shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three
days."
US Constitution
Amendments 4 - 8 - These amendments prohibit unreasonable searches, require
due process according to the law, provide for confrontation of witnesses,
impose jury trial on all matters involving over $20, and prohibit excessive
fines and cruel and unusual punishments. Amendment 14 provides for equal
protection of the laws for all citizens.
Sharia Law
No testimony may be made by people who have lowly jobs, such as a street
sweeper or a bath house attendant, or non-Muslim. (o24.2-3)
Testimony regarding fornication or sodomy requires four male eye-witnesses
to the act. (o24.9)
A woman's testimony is worth only half that of a man. (o24.10)
(There is no provision for a jury trial under Sharia Law.)
Cruel and unusual Islamic punishments include 1) stoning for adultery
(o12.2); 2) scourging 40 lashes with hands, shoes, ends of clothes, or a
whip for drunkenness (o16.3); 3) severing the right hand for theft of over
$36 and the left foot for a repeat offense (o14.1); and 4) death for
apostasy from Islam. (o8.2)
Indemnity for accidentally killing a male Muslim is 100 camels or 4,235
grams of gold. (Current value: $144,000.) Indemnity for killing a woman is
half that of a man, for killing a Jew or a Christian is one-third of the
indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a killing Zoroastrian
is one-fifteenth of that of a Muslim. The indemnity for causing a
miscarriage is one slave. (o4.9)
There is no indemnity for a killing a non-Muslim at war with Muslims, an
apostate, or someone sentenced to death by stoning. (o14.17)
Jews and Christians are subject to a "poll tax" not less than 1 dinar
(Current value: $144) per adult male per year. No maximum is stipulated.
(o11.4) This is a penalty for remaining in their ancestral religion
instead of embracing the "religion of truth." (o9.8)
A husband may beat a "rebellious" wife for 1) not allowing immediate sexual
intercourse when he asks for it, at home, and if she can physically endure
it; 2) answering him coldly; or 3) being averse when she was previously
kind. (m5.1 and m10.12) The only limitation is that he may not break her
bones, wound her, or cause bleeding.
US Constitution
Amendment 13 Slavery and involuntary servitude are abolished.
Sharia Law
The section on Slavery (k32.0) is not translated into English. The
provisions remain in Arabic. The editor of "The Reliance of the Traveler"
claims that these provisions are no longer applicable, yet they remain in
there in the text of Sharia Law. Elsewhere, the manual states, "Originally
the status of slave was simply the outcome of having been taken as a
prisoner of war. A captive who could not buy his own freedom by means of
ransom remained in the possession of the captor until he had earned his
freedom by work or until he was granted liberty by his master." (w13.1)
US Constitution
Amendment 21 repealed "prohibition," thereby allowing manufacture, sale, and
transport of alcoholic beverages.
Sharia Law
It is unlawful to sell grapes to someone who will make wine from them.
(k4.9) "Allah cursed whoever drinks wine, gives it to others to drink, sells
it, buys it, presses it for another, transports it, receives it, or eats its
price."
Enormities (sins) include drinking wine in any form or other intoxicant,
even if only a drop as in medicine; pressing out the juice to make wine or
other intoxicant; carrying it for purposes of drinking, or having it
carried; serving it to others or having it served; selling it; buying it;
having it bought or sold; consuming proceeds from selling it; or keeping
wine or other intoxicant. (o16.6 and w52.1(350-361))
So, the next time someone suggests that we should be more understanding of
Sharia Law, it would be fair to ask him/her what parts of our US
Constitution would he/she be willing to abandon in order to accommodate
Sharia Law.
Thanks to Michael for letting me post this here.

Even without getting into the details, the US constitution - that 'man-made document of ignorance' - represents centuries of development in human thought and morality, based on learned experience, whereas islam's sharia is a piece straight out of the book of primitive savagery.
The US constitution is about justice, equality, liberty, and freedom.
Sharia, like all of islam, is merely about dominance. All the other words used in it (like 'morally responsible') are empty husks, devoid of any real meaning of their own.
