Since I'm still furious about the 'feminists' reaction to an article that speaks against the abuse of women (hint, they cannot help but unleash their volumes of hatred towards the very men who speak up for the female victims of islam), I'll let this article talk for itself.
The original version is from
Imagine you were a teenage girl in
Pakistan, and your parents married you off very young. The marriage is
a disaster but you have no rights. You flee with your daughter to the
U.S., you hide out for two years until the detective he hires finds
you. In Pakistan, under the Islamic law there, the means of obtaining a
divorce is only available to a man, but never of course to a woman. He
demands full custody of your daughter. Oh, and he’s accused you of
adultery.
You consider flying to Pakistan, to contest the divorce, but adultery
is a crime under Islamic Law in Pakistan, a crime which is punishable
by death. You will literally be arrested the moment you de-board the
plane, in Karachi. You could face prison time, or even be stoned to
death. And in Pakistan, your testimony under Islamic law is worth only
half that of a man’s. Then you remember, you’re in America now and you
have rights.
So, you petition the American courts, filing for a real divorce. But
unfortunately, your husband has a Pakistani judge as an expert witness
who he flies in to testify in the Maryland court – and the judge accepts
his view of Shariah’s “best interests of the child” as the same as
Maryland’s “best interests of the child. You and your daughter are
simply outgunned.
And to your surprise, you find out that the American courts have been
convinced to bow to Islamic Law (the Sharia), and you are now without
any money, you have lost your home, and you have even lost your
daughter.
Does this sound just too crazy to be true – like something that just
could not happen in America? In fact, this kind of reckless disregard
for American law, in American courts, is actually more common than one
might think. This scenario resembles what happened to one woman in
Maryland, and it’s happening all over the country.
In the case of
Joohi Hosain of Maryland,
the court shockingly abandoned American standards, in making their
ruling. The court ruling stated that the best interests of the child
should be determined not by American law, but by
applying Pakistani customs and an adherence to Islamic standards.
But sadly, the story gets even worse. The radical Islamist website,
ShariaInAmerica.com, is celebrating this and other cases like it, as
victories for Sharia Law in America.
As part of a larger initiative to bring America more into alignment
with Islamic Law, they rejoice over the court’s ruling, and
provide resources for others who support the advancement of Political Islam in America, as to how they can prevail by
imposing Sharia Law onto our American legal system. And, it is working!
While the
Left is bending over backwards, to appease radical Islamist interests, and much of the Right is too cowardly to take a stand, cases like these continue to grow. The
Center for Security Policy has identified at least 50 cases. But the Islamist site,
ShariaInAmerica.com lists having over
72 victories for Sharia Law, and counting, and boasts that many have triumphed over our American law.
JudicialWatch.org
cites former Central Intelligence Agency Director Jim Woolsey, a
foreign policy specialist who has worked for both Democratic and
Republican administrations,
as saying
that the United States is, not only at war with terrorists such as Al
Qaeda and Hezbollah, but also with those who, over the long run, want to
impose Sharia law. The former CIA Director indicated that Sharia is a
theocratic dictatorship, extremely opposed to democracy and a movement
to eliminate and
destroy western civilization. He has also pointed out that the radical Islamic group, the
Muslim Brotherhood, is largely behind the effort to bring Sharia to the United States.
So, is it really true, that this spike in verifiable cases, where
American law is eclipsed by Islamic law, is part of a larger and more
sinister objective, on the part of Islamists? Can we really go the way
of Turkey, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Kosovo, Indonesia and so many other
nations – nations who, over time, have fallen to Political Islam through
the advancement of Sharia Law? It goes without saying, of course, that
every nation which has allowed the advancement of Sharia into its
culture is a nation where citizens do not enjoy the human rights that we
enjoy today, under the law, in America.
Some might argue that such a scenario for America would be a bit
extreme. Perhaps a more likely scenario would be radicalized enclaves
(like the Jamaat ul Fuqra enclaves that are already established across
America), that result from Islamic birth rates and immigration
continuing to expand and more and more demands being made for special
accommodation – such as what is brewing in much of Europe. Others have
asserted that we may face a challenge not unlike the Cold War, where an
enormous amount of our focus and resources are used up in order to
protect our sovereignty and our liberty.
One thing is for certain – allowing for further compromises in our
American legal system, in order to accommodate foreign law, can only
make things worse for Americans, and not better.
If we do not take a stand, and demand the policy of
American laws for American courts,
there will most certainly be more innocent women and children
victimized by the brutal and misogynistic Sharia Legal system and denied
their full civil rights in America. There is much more to be learned
about this by vising:
TheShariahWarOnWomen.org.
In June 2011, the Center for Security Policy issued a report,
Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases.
The report evaluates 50 Appellate Court cases from 23 states that
involve conflicts between Shariah (Islamic law) and American state law.
From the introduction:
These cases are the stories of Muslim American
families, mostly Muslim women and children, who were asking American
courts to preserve their rights to equal protection and due process.
These families came to America for freedom from the discriminatory and
cruel laws of Shariah. When our courts then apply Shariah law in the
lives of these families, and deny them equal protection, they are
betraying the principles on which America was founded.
But perhaps, on a larger and more fundamental scale, the solution is
real leadership – something that, at this low point in our American
history, we sorely lack.
So how do the American people feel about banning foreign law in
American courts, which deny the rights afforded to us under our
Constitution? In a recent
nationwide poll,
about 5.9 percent approve of U.S. Courts applying Shariah law to decide
cases in American courts, while over 76 percent disapprove. Clearly
the time has come for much of our leadership to get off of the fence and
to take a stronger stand.
But what has happened to our leaders? There seems to be a crisis of
leadership in America today. Abraham Lincoln did not need a political
adviser to run focus groups before deciding to sign the Emancipation
Proclamation.
Clearly the greatest threat to our national security today comes from
Political Islam. And they are doing a very effective job at keeping
our leaders and our people distracted and confused. And it has been
said that a house divided against its self will fall.
Wasn’t it Ronald Reagan who said, “
If we lose the war for our
freedoms, history will record that those who had the most to lose, did
the least to prevent its happening”?
As I recall, he went on to say that,
“There is only one guaranteed way you can have peace, and you can have it in the next second – surrender”.
Kansas Secretary of State Kobach proposed an amendment to the RNC
platform opposing foreign laws that violate Constitutional principles.
The “preview” of the platform downloaded by Politico includes language
opposing judicial activism in applying foreign laws . This would have
been unimaginable under the party of 2008. Standing up for our American
way of life takes courage, sacrifice and sometimes nerves of steel.
Who in our “leadership” will continue to answer that call?
“You and I must have the courage to say to our enemies – there is
a price we will not pay, there is a point beyond which they must not
advance.” – Ronald Reagan
A Republic is a place where we appreciate and protect the rule of
law. We are all entitled to be treated equally, under the law. No one
should ever, especially under duress – because they are a Muslim woman –
be subject to the binding arbitration of Islamic law, especially when
such foreign law violates the civil rights afforded to all of us. If
those in our government, who are unable or unwilling to take a
courageous stand in favor of protecting our American life, are not up to
the job, for fear of losing popularity, what do we need them for? Why
not vote them out?
We have hope, too, for there are leaders, incumbents and challengers,
who support the Constitution over any parallel system of foreign law
and who have the courage to take on the Shariah lobby. History will
remember them as the voices of reason, and the names of those who
apologized for Shariah will end up on history’s blooper reel.
