"Sharia Misunderstood"

From Winds of Jihad:

“Sharia Misunderstood”


by sheikyermami on June 17, 2011



Islam is not Islam and Sharia is not Sharia. Even Taqiyya is not Taqiyya.



That’s what CAIR propagandist Nezar Hamze would have you believe…. Nezar, as you might recall, is a lying, deceitful scumbag who received a smack-down when he confronted Allen West. Here he ties himself in knots trying to defend the indefensible.







The MCB whines:



“It is indeed a crime that Lady Cox has made no attempt to understand the workings of the shariah councils. She repeats the modern mantra that shariah law “is an inherent discrimination system which is causing real suffering to women”.



It is and it does.



Hamas Front CAIR pushes the same taqiyya:



CAIR rep insists that Sharia is not a threat, neglects to mention the bloody bits



Nezar Hamze is executive director of the South Florida chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). So it should come as no surprise that he leaves out of his explanation of why Sharia is not a threat all the aspects of Sharia that make people believe it is a threat. “Sharia law is not a threat,” by Nezar Hamze in the Miami Herald, June 17 (thanks to JW):



You can’t turn on the news these days or pick up a newspaper without seeing or reading about Islam, Muslims or Sharia law. Unfortunately, most of what you hear is from politicians with a religious viewpoint or media outlets creating an illusion of an enemy.



Don’t believe your lying eyes, kafir!












They sensationalize Arabic words to feed on society’s fear. The hottest topic these days is the Sharia. They claim that “Moozlims” are trying to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Sharia. Before we all run out with pitchforks and protest signs, let’s understand what Islam is, and then we can understand the Sharia.



Yes. Lets understand it.







“‘Moozlims.’” “Pitchforks.” Hamze is semaphoring that the only people who could possibly be concerned about Sharia are ignorant racist yahoos. This is just a smear tactic, but it works insofar as it warns unreflective and uninformed Leftists (i.e., virtually all Leftists) not to dare to oppose Sharia: we wouldn’t want to align with rednecks, now, would we?



Islam is an Arabic term deriving from two words: Salam, which means peace, and Tasleem meaning submit to the will of God. So the textbook definition for Islam is peace acquired through the submission to the will of God. Therefore, Islam conveys a practical application of God’s word to all aspects of one’s life.Islam teaches humanity how to believe, worship and maintain their relationship with God. Islam teaches humanity the significance of family values and how to honor: mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, husbands, wives, aunts, uncles and cousins. Islam also teaches humanity how to deal with society, commerce, education, friends, neighbors, the poor, orphans, government, justice, property and, most important, the sanctity of human life.



Islam also teaches humanity how to deal with the kuffar, including the “unbelievers among the People of the Book,” who are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).



The Sharia is Islamic rulings from Muslim scholars and jurists that keep Muslims on the path toward abiding faith. The source of the Sharia is the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed. The Sharia covers all aspects of a Muslim’s life and explains what is prohibited and permissible.Think of Islam as an instruction manual (the Quran and prophetic traditions) on how to live your life according to the will of God. The Sharia is the path of faith regarding those instructions.



Is Sharia a threat? According to Adam Hasner, a Republican candidate for the Senate from Florida and former state legislator, “Today there is an enemy, and that enemy is Sharia-compliant Islam.”



This statement is ridiculous. When I wash before praying, this is Sharia-compliant Islam. When I offer a greeting to someone, this is Sharia- compliant Islam. What in the world is Hasner talking about?



When I cut out a woman’s clitoris, this is Sharia-compliant Islam. When I forbid non-Muslims to practice their faith openly, this is Sharia-compliant Islam. When I count a non-Muslim’s life as less valuable than a Muslim’s, that is Sharia-compliant Islam.When I brutally lash a woman, that is Sharia-compliant Islam. When I smash musicians’ instruments and threaten them that they better not play music again or else, that is Sharia-compliant Islam. When I wage war against and subjugate unbelievers, that is Sharia-compliant Islam. What in the world is Hamze talking about? Does he really expect us to believe that Hasner is upset about washing before prayers and greeting people?





Some politicians, groups and individuals commonly reduce the totality of the Sharia to its penal code. The penal code within the Sharia is not unique to the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet Mohammed. It is also in the Torah and Talmud and part of the teachings of Prophet Moses. Having said that, it is important to recognize that regardless of the contrast, the penal codes within these texts are not the totality of the teachings of any religion and never explained as such. Why the double standard?



Well, for one thing, because even if it were true, which it isn’t, that the penal code within the Sharia is identical to that of Judaism, Jews aren’t stoning people to death and Muslims are. Jews aren’t doing so because of age-old exegetical traditions that reinterpret the passages enjoining stoning and hold them inapplicable while there is no Temple; Muslims continue to do so because there is simply nothing within Islamic tradition mitigating the literal interpretation of the Qur’an.



It’s quite simple really — an election strategy.



What is Hamze doing? It’s quite simple really — a deception strategy.



Politicians who emphasize religion in over 20 states have introduced some sort of legislation regarding Islam, Sharia or “Foreign Law.” They claim that the “Moozlims” are trying to infiltrate our court systems and replace our Constitution.(They do. In fact, that’s all they ever do. For Muslims, its the essence of being) The fact of the matter is, not one Muslim has introduced anything to any legislative body calling for Sharia to replace the Constitution or for the Sharia to replace the law of the land. This claim is absolutely baseless and really shows how disconnected these politicians are from the real problems on the ground.



In reality, Sharia has been involved in court cases in 23 states. And while “not one Muslim has introduced anything to any legislative body calling for Sharia to replace the Constitution or for the Sharia to replace the law of the land,” that is only because they are not fools: to do such a thing would be very close to open sedition, and would draw upon the Muslims involved a torrent of popular disapproval and law enforcement scrutiny. Better to work behind the scenes. Remember Imam Musa, the Washington, D.C. imam who wants to establish an “Islamic State of North America no later than 2050.” Remember the Muslim Brotherhood’s program in the U.S. of “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”



In some cases, unfortunately, this strategy is effective.We can look at U.S. Rep. Allen West’s campaign as proof of its effectiveness. West routinely bashed Islam during his campaign, with statements such as,. “We are at war with Islam” and “Islam is not a religion.” He said that the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 were doing exactly what the Quran told them. He won in 2010.



Many Muslims say that Islam is at war with us. I believe Islam is a religion, but also more than a religion: a political system, and one that is repressive and authoritarian. The terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 stated explicitly that they were doing exactly what the Quran told them. We ignore or deny this at our own peril.



All we can do — must do — is try to stop this kind of rhetoric. Listening to it is a waste of your time. Those who espouse such views could not care less about the innocent Americans they hurt. The most effective way to deal with this situation is through education and action.



“Don’t believe your lying eyes…”



Educate yourself on Islam. If you don’t know any Muslims, try to meet one. Say “Salam” (peace), and ask questions. Get to know them. Go to a ballgame, or go fishing. Be American together.And when election time rolls around, send a clear message: I don’t discriminate.



I am all for people educating themselves on Islam. I strongly recommend it, in fact.



But wait, there's more....
