Iran arrests female singer who refused to wear a hijab on YouTube.  Iranian authorities have triggered widespread outrage after a female singer who refused to wear a hijab while singing in a virtual concert on YouTube was arrested.  Milad Panahipour, an Iranian lawyer, said Parastoo Ahmady, 27, was arrested in Sari City, the capital of the northern province of Mazandaran, on Saturday.  On Thursday, the judiciary had filed a case regarding Ahmady's concert performance, in which she performed wearing a long black sleeveless and collarless dress, but no hijab.  She was accompanied by four male musicians.

Islamism, the West and Human Rights.  Islamic values have not come from the West.  They originated from the Quran and the Hadith — the sayings and actions of Mohammed.  Both works form the bases of Sharia, Islamic law.  Sharia law in application can have severe moral and ethical requirements contrary to Western concerns of justice.  Sharia tenets — which have views of human rights, justice, mercy and compassion that differ from those of the West — can appear alien to Judeo-Christian precepts.  Sharia, in usage, often appears to contravene the basic humanistic values of the West.

British Imam Calls For Woman Wearing Purfume Get Either 100 Lashes Or Death.  This is a lesson to why mass migration from cultures that are garbage leads to this.  Citizenship should require an extensive civics test.  [Video clip]

BBC blames child marriage in Bangladesh on climate change.  WHATEVER the BBC report on climate change, it is pretty good advice to assume the opposite is true!  BBC World Service broadcasts a weekly radio programme called The Climate Question.  A couple of weeks ago the topic was child marriage in Bangladesh, with the claim that extreme weather 'fuelled by climate change' was making farming impossible in many parts of the Bangladesh.  Consequently people were moving off the land and into towns.  As a result, supposedly, young girls were being married off.  But far from farming becoming impossible, the opposite is the case.  Cereal production continues to rise every year to new records, and the area harvested is also increasing.  To cap it all, poverty levels have declined by a factor of eight since the 1980s.  Bangladesh is a success story, but you won't hear that from the BBC.  Everything the BBC has reported is a lie.  They obviously have a problem with admitting the truth about child brides in Muslim countries, so why not blame it all on global warming instead?

Rising Threat to Free Speech.  A few instances have been reported about how Keir Starmer, the new prime minister of Britain, has imprisoned citizens for saying quite innocuous things on the street, even on Facebook.  But it's not just about a few random people.  It's a nationwide campaign.  Over 400 Brits have been imprisoned for trivial speech offenses.  It's become a case of life imitating art.  By that, I mean reality is starting to resemble that great movie, V for Vendetta.  I urge everybody to watch if they haven't seen it yet.  The disturbances in Britain are mostly about migrants, most of whom are Muslims.  Britain has a bigger problem than the US because most of their migrants are Mohammedans.  Masses of Islamic migrants present a much more serious threat to Western civilization and values than the mostly South American migrants the US gets.  That's because in Islamic societies, which observe Sharia law, there is no such thing as free speech.  I've read the Koran and good parts of the Hadith.  There's no question that if Britain reaches a critical mass of Islamic population, the nature of society won't just be modified a bit, as it would be with people from Spanish countries.  Islam intends to eliminate basic Western values.  Islam isn't just another religion.  It's a totalitarian system comprehending all aspects of life.  The penalties for breaking its laws are extremely severe.

Creeping Sharia in France.  Muslims have been threatening boulangeries and restaurants in France, even those owned by non-Muslims, to become strictly halal.  That means all pork products must be banned.  Some outlets have had to ban alcohol, while others have declared that only men should shop in their stores during the week, and women only on weekends. [...] No one forced the two Muslim customers to buy the bacon quiche.  Could they not have asked the shop clerk "does this quiche contain any pork products"?  And even after discovering bacon in their quiche, was it necessary to throw a hysterical fit and threaten the store's owner?  After all, no Muslim is being forced to buy a bacon quiche.  To avoid any future mistakes, the owner could simply put up a large warning sign, indicating all of his confections that contain pork.  That should have been the end of the story.  Instead, the Muslims returned to the store "furiously and "violently," and threatened the store owner, who quickly decided that to avoid problems from maddened Muslims, he would simply stop using pork products.  "They wanted to burn everything, break everything," Dallery wrote.

Reports: Man Attacked Trans Victim with Sword as They Awaited Furry Convention, Screamed 'Allah Does Not Approve'.  A man is accused of attacking a "transgender woman" with a sword inside a Pittsburgh hotel around 1:00 a.m.  Thursday.  The incident happened inside the Wyndham Grand Hotel when the victim, a man reportedly living as a woman, was found bloody and calling for help, WTAE reported Friday.  Police officers made contact with the victim in the hotel's lobby and found blood on the floor and walls of the fifth floor.  The victim suffered a severe laceration to his hand and later went to the hospital on his own.

Vote Every Muslim Out of Office.  Anyone who believes Islam is some sort of peaceful religion is woefully and dangerously ignorant of history and proven facts — as was I until the early 2000's.  You see, most Americans really are a very compassionate people who want to be fair and tolerant.  To see other Americans — especially naturalized Americans enjoy our God-given rights — like worshipping the religion of their choice.  One may not agree with someone's religion but Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians, Jews and other denominations do not threaten to cut your head off if you don't worship some invented 'god' named, Allah.  Islam does and its violence and fear that keeps those poor souls from knowing true freedom of expression, the right to leave Islam with their head still on their shoulders. [...] "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant.  The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." — Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.

Good and Evil.  For millennia, we in the West have stood for a particular outlook on life.  Longing for freedom, honoring the word (as in oratory and logical proof), and godly at the same time, we have integrated structural elements from Greek philosophy, Roman law, and Jewish worship.  These pillars of Western civilization, as we know it, have now begun to tremble.  Our own world is breaking up under the triadic advance of (a) tyrannical imperialism, (b) Islamic supremacism, and (c) revolutionary totalitarianism.  Apparently, we have to prepare for another world order.  It looks as if we, the heirs of both Western Christianity and the ideas of the Enlightenment, the people of the free world, are about to lose our "unalienable rights".  As things stand, our "life" and "pursuit of happiness", in the words of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, with "liberty" in any meaningful sense being excluded beforehand, may ultimately depend on the benevolence of foreign masters.

Islamic Leader Declares Muslim Domination of U.S. Politics Imminent.  Osama Siblani, a prominent Arab-American community leader and publisher, announced that Muslims are poised to take control of key political positions across the United States, including the Congress and the White House.  During his speech earlier this month at a dinner honoring former Lebanese security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who has known for ties with Hezbollah, Siblani said, "We have the best we can offer to the United States of America — not only in Michigan but across the country — and we [have] offered our best... The best is yet to come.  I can be very confident to tell you that we are on the road to the White House, to Congress, to decision-making everywhere in the United States," he said.  According to Memri TV, Siblani's remarks referenced a historical grievance dating back 40 years when a local mayor allegedly spoke of an "Arab problem" in Dearborn.  He contrasted that with today's reality where, according to him, "The Arabs are ruling Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Hamtramck."

Muslim Tells Canadian Interviewer That His Religion Will Be The Majority In Most Western Countries And Will Impose Sharia Law.  "By 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group the world over. [...] Are you going to oppose Sharia even then?  We have families.  We are making babies.  You're not. [...] One day we can have a Muslim-majority nation here in Canada.  Right in your face"  [Video clip]

Poll shows British Muslims want Islam as the national religion and an Islamic political party.  1 in 3 Muslims living in the UK want Islam to be declared the national religion and for everyone to live under the brutal system of Sharia law which calls for beheadings and amputations.  Less than 1 in 4 Muslims opposed the move while the majority were unwilling to commit.  Among younger Muslims 18-24, 1 in 5 believed that making Islam "our national religion" was "very desirable", and a total of 43% supported redefining the UK as an Islamic state.  Only 16% opposed it.  This younger group who are the future of Muslims in the UK was also the one most likely to sympathize with Islamic terrorists.  1 in 4 British Muslim men expressed a positive view of Jihad.  46% of British Muslims sympathized with Hamas as did 58% of younger British Muslims.  None effectively sympathize with Israel.  Previously 1 in 4 Muslims had sympathized with the 7/7 suicide bombers in London.

'Between Caliphate And Dictatorship'.  What a day this has been.  I never imagined that I would witness the banning of a peaceful political meeting in a supposedly free and democratic country.  But that's what nearly happened today in Belgium — in Brussels, the capital of the European Union.  I say "nearly," because despite the attempts by the municipal government, aided by the police and urged on by Antifa, the National Conservatism conference went on, though in a much constrained fashion.  After having two venues cancel on us at the last minute, under pressure by both the mayor of Brussels, and two district mayors, police entered the Claridge event space with the intention of shutting the meeting down.  They were greeted by a wall of TV cameras from press covering the event, and apparently thought better of it.  What they did was to station themselves outside the doors, and to refuse to let people enter.  If you left the building for any reason at all, you were not allowed back in.  They were clearly hoping to choke off the event without staging a spectacle that would be beamed around the world by the gathered media.

Italy Submits to Sharia:  Only Male Police Officers Can Enter Islamic Areas.  A troubling Italian news report unveils a deepening crisis in Genoa due to Islamic immigration, demonstrating how escalating radicalism, exemplified by the arrest of migrant terrorist Faysal Rahaman, poses major cultural and security threats, and illustrates how the country is increasingly submitting large parts of its communities to Sharia law.

Ilhan Omar Speech on Representing Somalia in Congress Goes Viral With Calls to Expel Her From the House.  Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) gave a speech to the Somali community in Minnesota on Saturday that has gone viral thanks to English translation subtitles.  The translations have Omar saying she and her fellow Somalis are Somali first and Muslim second — with no mention of being American.  Omar also said she represents Somalia in Congress and told the audience that they control the U.S. government's Somalia policy.  Outraged Americans called for Omar's expulsion from the House of Representatives.

Minneapolis City Council takes step to avoid conflicts with Islamic holidays.  The Minneapolis City Council took a closer look at publishing the new meeting calendar on Monday, following a mix-up last year that sparked controversy.  Last year, the day of Eid al-Fitr, or "Eid," the council was voting on rent control, which was a highly debated issue.  Three Muslim members were not able to vote because they were observing the holiday.  This allowed the remaining council members to vote "no" to continuing conversations about rent control.  The city clerk explained in a statement last year that the holiday "got missed" and there was not enough time to change the council meeting date under state law.

British 'Sharia' Police are now arresting people for having negative thoughts about Palestinian/Hamas flags.  You cannot bring a British flag to a pro-Palestinian protest, but you can call for violent jihad in the streets and police will look the other way.  [Video clip]

Germany may soon become a Sharia nation.  In 2015, the so-called Arab Spring, which Barack Obama helped foment, turned into the Muslim march on Europe.  As you may recall, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel, from her powerful position as head of the EU's most powerful nation, invited in all the displaced refugees from across the Muslim Middle East and Africa.  It was an invasion by invitation, and now Germany may soon become a Muslim-controlled country.  It's almost impossible to describe the stupidity (or evil) of Merkel's decision to invite Islam into Europe.  Think about it:  The welcome mat came from the country that had sparked the biggest war in the history of the world by seeking world domination and determining to wipe out the Jewish race — and the people she invited into Europe come from an ideology that is open about acquiring world domination ("the global caliphate") and is determined to wipe out the Jewish race.

Iranian 16 Year Old Passes Out And Falls Into Coma After Morality Police Beat Her For Not Wearing A Hijab.  An Iranian teenager who was reportedly assaulted by state morality police for not wearing a mandatory hijab is now 'brain dead', state media says.  Armita Geravand, 16, fell into a coma earlier this month after she sustained 'severe injuries' following a 'physical assault' by female morality police officers on the Tehran metro, according to a human rights group.  [Video clip]

Iran and the Cult of the Mahdi.  Shia Islam's origins can be traced to a belief in the rightful leadership of Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.  Shiites believe that Ali should have been the immediate successor to the Prophet, as they argue that he was divinely appointed.  They also believe in a line of twelve Imams, with the twelfth Imam being in occultation and expected to return as the Mahdi.  Iran is ruled by a Shia Muslim theocracy.  The Shia believe in the existence of the 12th Imam.  He is a big deal to them.  The primary mission of the Mahdi is to establish justice on Earth.  It is believed that he will rectify the widespread oppression and tyranny that will exist before his appearance.  He will uphold the principles of righteousness and fairness.  The Mahdi will reform society by eradicating corruption, eliminating social inequalities, and ensuring that Islamic principles are followed in all aspects of life.

Progressives and Muslims went into the Colosseum, but only one of the contenders realized it.  On Sunday, The Washington Post ran an editorial by Allan Lengel, detailing "accusations of betrayal" in a small Michigan community known as Hamtramck, after the city council enacted a ban... prohibiting the display of Pride flags on city property. [...] [The leftists] evidently didn't really think about how their belief set in practice would unfold.  What did they expect at the intersection of the LGBTQ++ movement and a culture known for extremely conservative relationship values?  Not to imply that this Pride flag ban is an example of persecution as it really just comes down to civic decency, but I mean, come on!  Islamic governments are known for their aggressive and violent persecution of the gay community (Iran and Chechnya come to mind).  How thick does one have to be to be surprised that Muslims would ban the flying of a flag that represents a completely perverse sexual agenda?

Amazon Introduces Sharia-Compliant Uniforms for Female Islamic Supremacist Employees.  Amazon's Brooklyn Park facility is under intense scrutiny following its collaboration with Somali-owned Henna and Hijabs, a controversial Minneapolis-based company specializing in sharia-compliant clothing.  The partnership has ignited an outcry due to its focus on providing female Islamic supremacist employees with uniforms that align with their beliefs — an initiative that caters to Islamic extremism.  Introducing new uniforms, including hijabs, has drawn sharp criticism, as they are designed to meet the demands of female Islamic supremacist workers at the Brooklyn Park facility, where there are several hundred employees, and nearly half of them are East African.

Adams Inserts Government Into Religion.  On August 29, [New York City Mayor] Adams tweeted, "We're cutting red tape and saying clearly that mosques and houses of worship are free to amplify their call to prayer on Fridays and during Ramadan without a permit necessary."  You know this is a radical move when City Council candidate Justin Brannan can barely contain himself.  "All New York City mosques and houses of worship will no longer need to apply for a sound permit to amplify their call to prayer on Friday afternoons and during the holy month of Ramadan.  Nobody should need a permit to pray", he says.  Brannon wants us to believe one needs a permit to pray.  This is a lie.  Anyone in New York City can pray.  What is happening here is something different and it's dangerous.

Democrats Have a Muslim Problem in Michigan.  LGBTQ+ and transgender-supporting Democrats have a Muslim problem in Michigan as the conservative Muslim community pushes back against Democrat-supported LGBTQ legislation and policies.  In Hamtramck, the all-Muslim city council in the only Muslim-majority city in the United States, recently voted unanimously to institute a flag resolution called "Resolution to Maintain and Conform the Neutrality of the City of Hamtramck Towards its Residents."  In the resolution, they prohibit flags of any racial, ethnic, religious or sexual-oriented group on city property.  The LGBTQ+ community took offense to the resolution and showed up at the meeting to protest it on June 13th.  Muslim Hassan Aoun was also at the meeting and said, "Don't sit here and throw Pride Month, or being gay, down kids' throat, my throat or anybody's throat.  You can be gay by yourself."

Michigan: Muslim City Council Fires HR Commissioners for Flying LGBTQ Pride Flag on Public Property.  The all-Muslim city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, has fired two human relations commissioners after they flew the LGBTQ pride flag on public property in violation of a recent law banning such flags.  As Breitbart News reported in June, the all-Muslim city council "voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a resolution that would ban the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from being flown on the city's public property." [...] The law did not specifically single out LGBTQ community members, with Hasan and the city council even saying that such people are wholly welcome in the city of Hamtramck, which had primarily been run by Polish Catholics until recent years.

Christians, It's Time to Learn from Hamtramck, Michigan.  It's like we've stepped into a technicolor dream world where the queering of America is now a national priority.  But there's a glimmer of hope amidst this carnival of color run amok.  Hamtramck, Michigan, a city where the majority identify as Muslim, did what so many Christians are too timid to do.  They fought back.  Their all-Muslim city council, backed by a population that still values common-sense tradition, declared 'no more' to Pride flags on public property.  But you probably haven't heard much about it, if anything, right?  Why?  For the mainstream media, reporting on this story is like asking a doting parent to pick a favorite child.  News organizations have no desire to disparage either Muslims or gays.

Michigan City Bans LGBTQ Pride Flag, Other Political Flags from City Property.  The all-Muslim city council of Hamtramck, Michigan, voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a resolution that would ban the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from being flown on the city's public property.  The resolution, proposed by Mayor Pro-Tem Muhammad Hassan, also bars any religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexual orientation group flags from being flown on city property and only allows the American flag to be flown, along with state and city flags, other national flags, and the Prisoner of War flag, according to Click on Detroit.

There's no separation of church and state when the church is a mosque.

Hamtramck council approves Islamic animal sacrifices at home.  After several months of contentious debate and pressure from Muslim residents, Hamtramck City Council voted Tuesday night to allow the religious sacrifice of animals on residential property.  Muslims often slaughter animals during the holiday of Eid al-Adha and Hamtramck has one of the highest percentage of Muslim residents among cities in the U.S.  The all-Muslim city council voted 3-2, with Mayor Amer Ghalib casting an additional vote in favor making it 4-2, to amend a city ordinance to allow religious sacrifice of animals at home.  After the vote to approve, applause broke out from members of the public, who packed the meeting to speak out before the vote.  "If somebody wants to do it, they have a right to do their practice," Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Mohammed Hassan said at the meeting, which was livestreamed.

Islamic sharia law still floats along under the American surface.  After 9/11, the West discovered that the Muslim world imposes its blasphemy laws on Muslims and non-Muslims alike.  Every few years, they remind us, sometimes with blood and sometimes without, that sharia's proscription on images of Mohamed applies to everyone.  The latest example of this "sharia for all" philosophy happened at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, where a professor was just fired for showing pictures of Mohamed in a class about Islamic art. [...] After 9/11, when people understood just how violent Islam could be, there was a debate in the West about whether non-Muslims should be bound by Islam's restrictive (and murderous) blasphemy laws.  A convincing argument in favor of "respect," was learning that the sharia death penalty for blasphemy applied not only to heretical Muslims but to everyone.  In 2004, a Muslim fanatic knifed to death Theo van Gogh, the Dutch film director.  His sin?  He criticized how Islam treats women.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, his partner in making a film critical of that treatment, has lived under armed guard ever since.

Stealth Jihad is Alive and Well.  Appeasing Islamists or whitewashing their ideas under the claim of religious tolerance and multiculturalism only strengthens the jihadists' aims and results in sacrificing freedom in the country.  Moreover, Islamists never compromise because "they have a goal, a vision, a determination, and even a sense of identity and values that Western multiculturalists cannot even imagine.  Over the years, Islamists have taken... the 'soft jihad' into America's classrooms.  Under cover of 'Arabic instruction,' public schools and taxpayer funded private and charter schools were 'implementing a religious curriculum.'"  Americans need to take the Islamists at their word.  Their goal is the total evisceration of American values and liberty and the establishment of an Islamic caliphate.  The exquisite irony is that they use our democracy to destroy our democracy unless we stop them.

Female Muslim students at Syracuse demand special swimming time.  A group of female Muslim students at Syracuse University is demanding the university pool provide special hours for female swimmers due to their religious beliefs.  The group of female students at the New York university said that it cannot swim in the presence of men due to Islamic religious beliefs that require women to be fully covered in the presence of men, according to the Daily Orange.  "Usually I'd have to fix my scarf while I'm in the pool, but if you're in an environment where it's just girls, you don't really care and you can swim, you're more comfortable," student Sajiah Naqib told the campus newspaper.  But the group of students said that a "girl's only" time at the campus aquatic center was insufficient to meet their religious needs due to the high degree of visibility through the facility's windows.

Dozens Of Amazon Workers Protest Outside Shakopee Warehouse, Demand Time Off For Muslim Holiday.  Roughly 100 workers at the Amazon warehouse in Shakopee walked off the job Friday night in protest of low wages and lack of time off for Eid, an upcoming Muslim holiday.  In a statement, the workers said that they rallied outside the warehouse and delivered a letter of demand to the company, requesting that the internet retail giant bring back the $3 an hour pay bump for all shifts and unlimited volunteer time off so that people can see their families on events such as Eid, which begins Sunday.  The workers were joined by members of The Awood Center, an organization that supports workers in the East African communities of Minnesota.

Minneapolis mosques to broadcast call to prayer all year round.  The Muslim call to prayer will soon be heard regularly in parts of Minneapolis.  Minneapolis mosques can now publicly broadcast the adhan, or call to prayer, over loudspeakers without acquiring a permit and so long as they abide by the city's amplified noise ordinance.  Arabic words like "Allahu akbar," which means "God is great," will be heard ringing out from mosques around the city.  Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman announced this week that mosques will be allowed to play the adhan several times between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily and all year round.  The City Council unanimously supported the broadcasts and recognizing Ramadan, the month of daily fasting that begins April 2.

Old Turkish Muslim Sucker Punches a Couple for the Crime of Kissing on the Train.  This couple kissed on a train in Turkey and was instantly met with a sucker punch to the back of the head by this old Muslim man who thinks its a crime.  Not only did he sucker punch the guy he also punched the woman who was just trying to get in between them to stop her man from fighting back.  [Video clip]

Police Destroy Four Million Bottles of Beer.  Concerned about the government overstepping its bounds and asserting increasing control over aspects of life it has no business interfering with?  You should be.  And in many parts of the world, governments are providing daily object lessons in what happens when citizens allow self-serving, power-mad officials to arrogate too much power to themselves and overstep all rational restraints.  In Nigeria on Wednesday [2/9/2022], for example, a state government destroyed nearly four million bottles of beer.  Four million bottles of beer, gone, sacrificed to fanaticism and the brutal arrogation of power by unfeeling elites.  AFP reported Thursday that the Islamic religious police in the northern state of Kano destroyed the beer because "sale and consumption of alcohol is prohibited in the predominantly Muslim region."  That's because the sale and consumption of alcohol are also prohibited in Islamic law.

French journalist, 34, is given police guard over her report on radical Islam in town where shops sell faceless dolls, restaurant has cubicles for women to eat.  A French journalist has been given police protection after fronting a documentary about the impact of radical Islam on a poor town in the north of the country.  Ophélie Meunier, 34, has received death threats in the wake of documentary Zone Interdite — or 'Restricted Zone — that aired in France on January 23 looking at the influence of hardline Islamic views in the town of Roubaix, on the Belgian border.  Meunier found a restaurant where women are given cubicles to eat away from men, and a toy shop selling faceless dolls to comply with strict interpretations of Islam that forbid depicting facial features.  She also spoke to Amine Elbahi, 26, a Muslim lawyer from Roubaix who helped expose an educational institution that received £53,000 of public money to teach poor children, but was accused of spreading Islamic teachings instead.

Emulating Islam:  The Left's War on the Christian Cross.  In many ways, the "secular Left" and Islam appear to be diametrically opposed: the Left is sexually promiscuous, Islam isn't; the Left believes in countless genders, Islam doesn't; the Left believes in all sorts of freedoms, Islam believes only in draconian sharia — and so on and so forth.  When it comes to Islam's views on Christianity, however — that it is an inferior faith to be subjugated and discriminated against (Koran 9:29) — the Left appears to be in agreement.  For example, a 61-year-old Christian woman who escaped to Britain from her Nigerian homeland — where a genocide against Christians is currently underway — experienced something similar in her adopted nation.  Mary Onuoha, formerly a nurse at England's Croydon University Hospital since 2002, was over the years repeatedly harassed by management and finally "bullied" out of her job for refusing to remove her small cross necklace, which she has worn for 40 years.

Qatar seizes 'un-Islamic' children's toys with rainbow patterns similar to LGBT flags.  Authorities in Qatar have seized a line of what they called 'un-Islamic' children's toys that feature rainbow patterns similar to LGBT flags.  The small oil-rich peninsular will host next year's football World Cup, and despite repeated assertions by authorities that anyone will be welcome to visit for the tournament, homosexuality remains illegal in the conservative Muslim emirate.  The line of rainbow coloured children's toys were confiscated from stores, with officials saying they were contrary to 'Islamic values'.

France: Two-thirds of Muslim students believe Islam is above the laws of the Republic.  A matter of even greater concern is the fact that two-thirds of the French government, if not the people, likely believe that it is important to change French mores and the French way of life to accommodate Islam.

American Leftists Who Hate Religion Melt At The Sound Of Allah's Prayers And Join In The Kneeling.  The Left (institutionally) hates Christianity, and that standard explanation, such as its alleged bigotry, we can't explain why the Left gives Islam a pass.  Christianity stands in the way of the Leftist agenda.  Moreover, if the Devil exists, he would favor not just the "false religion" of environmentalism and Marxism, but also postmodernism. [...] The question of the day is why do liberals love Islam and defend Muslims adamantly while continuing to hate and mock Christians and Christianity.  Christians today are compared to the nuts at Westboro Baptist, or blamed for the Inquisition, slavery, and Nazis.  On the other hand, Muslims today (let me check the year.  Oh, it's 2021) regularly beat, stone, pour acid on, and behead women, gays, and non-Muslims.  (What America hears on the news is when a white country gets attacked; when it's Africans or Asians the Western media doesn't care at all.)  So Islam and its followers do those atrocities today and daily, and so did the founder, and liberals say "Those people aren't really Muslims."

Taliban bring back 'virtue' ministry, stoning and amputations for 'major sins'.  The Taliban's reinstatement of the Ministry for Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice — which was abolished following the US occupation — sent a collective shudder through many Afghans, who remembered it for its strict interpretation of Islamic law.  "The main purpose is to serve Islam.  Therefore, it is compulsory to have Ministry of Vice and Virtue," Mohammad Yousuf, who says he is around 32 years old and responsible for the "central zone" of Afghanistan, tells me from inside his Kabul office on Monday [9/13/2021].  "We will punish as per the Islamic rules.  Whatever Islam guides us, we will punish accordingly."  Actions will be taken on the "major sins of Islam," such as sexual intercourse outside marriage, killing someone, and theft, he said.  "Islam has its rules for major sins.  For example, killing someone has different rules.  If you do it intentionally, if you know the person and intentionally kill the person, you will be killed back.  If not intentional, then there might be another punishment like paying a certain amount of money," Yousuf continues.  "If there is a theft, the hand will be cut off.  If there is illegal intercourse, they (violators) will be stoned."

What are the 27 Things that the Taliban of Afghanistan Really Want?  It is possible to waste many hours, if not days, reading the world press and listening to pundits go on and on about what it is precisely that the Taliban wants.  You will not find the answer listening to those fast-talking, talk show hosts on either Fox News or CNN.  That is because few from these media organizations have taken the time to do the appropriate research that answers the question, "What do the Taliban want?"  The answer is simple.  They want a society of Sunni Muslims ruled according to the principles of Shariah law.

Colorado Imam Thinks It's Great for Taliban to Force Women to Wear Hijab.  Hardly anyone seems particularly concerned about the possibility that many of the tens of thousands of Afghan refugees that Old Joe Biden's handlers have brought into the United States might not assimilate readily or well.  One reason for this lack of concern may be that many Muslim spokesmen in the United States already openly endorse Sharia principles that are at variance with Constitutional freedoms, and no immediate difficulties ensue.  So what could possibly go wrong with bringing in so many Afghans?

Well Known Afghani Folk Singer Is Executed By Taliban After Music Is Banned Nationwide.  An Afghan folk singer has been executed by the Taliban just days after the Islamic fundamentalist group declared that "music is forbidden in Islam," according to his family.  Fawad Andarabi's family told the Associated Press that he was shot dead Friday [8/27/2021] when enforcers returned to his home after earlier searching it and even drinking tea with him.  [Video clip]

Taliban 'brutally' killed a popular Afghan folk singer just days after it said 'music is forbidden' in Islam, former minister says.  The Taliban killed a popular Afghan folk singer just days after the group said it hoped to ban music from being played in public in Afghanistan, according to a former minister.  Fawad Andarabi was "brutally killed" on Saturday, said Masoud Andarabi, who was the Interior Minister under former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, in a Twitter post.  He was reportedly dragged from his village home in Andarab, near the Panjshir Valley, before being shot dead, according to LBC News.

Taliban cuts gay man into pieces to 'show what they do with gay people'.  The Taliban has already sent clear messages on what it intends to do with uncovered women, and now it has sent another message on how it will treat gay men.  The penalty for homosexuality in Islam is death, so the Taliban is following Sharia, which is also implemented in several other Islamic countries.

Taliban says Afghanistan will be guided by Sharia law, 'no democratic system at all'.  A senior Taliban commander on Wednesday laid out the broad strokes of how Afghanistan will be governed after the stunning fall of Kabul, saying there will be an Islamic government with Sharia law and no democratic system "at all."  Waheedullah Hashimi, the leader, told Reuters that democracy does not have "any base in our country."  "We will not discuss what type of political system should we apply in Afghanistan because it is clear.  It is Sharia law and that is it," he said.  The Taliban said that the rights of women in the country will be respected as long as it fits within the "framework of Islamic law."  Many observers point out that the Taliban's statement could have a broad interpretation and are concerned that it means a return to 1996 in the country.

Cleveland Islamic Mayoral Candidate Basheer Jones is a National Security Threat.  During an interview with a terror-tied Imam, Jones admitted that he considers legislation in Ohio from the point of view of Sharia and Quranic law and not from the view of the United States constitution.  Controversial Cleveland Ohio mayoral candidate and current city councilman Basheer Jones was exposed exhorting misogynist statements in a video recently posted on social media.  In the leaked video clip, the 36-year-old devout Islamic politician instructs men to rule over their women at home and disregard any potential resistance.  "I'm talking to a man," he says in the video recording.  "Where's the man?  Why aren't we leading women?  They are not our leaders.  I don't care what they say.  They are not our leaders.  We are their leaders," exclaims Jones.  [Video clip]

Texas Judge Says Muslim Woman Can't Get Divorce According to U.S. Law, Has to Abide by Islamic Law.  Everything is bigger in Texas, including the egregious miscarriages of justice.  The Blaze reported Wednesday that Collin County, Texas, District Judge Andrea Thompson "effectively denied a U.S. citizen," a Muslim woman named Mariam Ayad, "her constitutionally protected due process rights, choosing instead to order her to appear before an Islamic tribunal where her testimony is considered inferior.  And when her lawyers sounded the alarm — the judge doubled down."  Islamic law, Sharia, taking precedence over U.S. law — in Texas?  Celebrate diversity!

Homosexuals will be crushed to death by pushing a wall onto them as part of nationwide return to Sharia law in Afghanistan under the Taliban.  A Taliban judge has given a terrifying glimpse into life under the Islamist group and the fate that awaits Afghanis if the country falls back under their control.  Gul Rahim, 38, spoke matter-of-factly about cutting hands and legs off thieves, issuing permits for women to leave their homes and toppling walls on gay men as a form of execution in his Taliban-controlled district in central Afghanistan.  He added that his aim is to introduce the Sharia law punishments across the whole of the country if the Taliban can re-take control once America departs, saying:  'That was our goal and always will be.'

India: Muslim-Dominated Village Bans Hindu Religious Celebrations as 'Sin,' High Court Steps in.  The celebration of a three-day-long Hindu religious festival came to a halt after Muslim groups raised severe objections to the celebration, calling it a sin.  The incident took place in a Muslim-dominated locality in Perambalur district in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.  The ritual involves a temple procession through the streets; the affidavit of the Deputy Superintendent of Police confirmed that the "three days festival of the aforesaid temples were peacefully conducted till the year 2011."  From 2012 on, Muslim groups in the village started objecting to the celebration of various Hindu festivals, including this three-day procession, deriding the festival as a "sin."  The Hindus decided to approach the police and seek protection for conducting the temple festivals and holding the processions.  The court observed that until 2011, these festivities were conducted through all the streets of the villages without any objections.  When the Muslims opposed these religious rituals and processions in 2012, the Hindus sought protection from the police and carried out the festivities until 2015 with restrictions laid down by law enforcement, which also provided protection.

David Ray:  The U.S. Is an Accomplice to the Largest Child Trafficking Operation in U.S. History.  During the last big wave of unaccompanied alien minors (UAMs) in 2019, a Border Patrol agent said something to me that shook me to my core.  He said that he was "sick and tired of having to administer rape kits to nine-year olds."  While that statement might be shocking, it's actually going on right now.  Except in 2021, the problem is much, much bigger, meaning so is the pool of victims.  In March of 2019, when that statement was made, there were roughly 9,380 UAMs apprehended at the border.  Those numbers have absolutely exploded — nearing 19,000 last month alone.  Today, more than 23,000 UAMs are in the custody of the federal government.

Afghanistan: Muslims publicly whip three people for eating during Ramadan.  With its stonings, amputations, death penalties for an array of offenses including apostasy, Islam has created not a framework in which people can become genuinely good, but an empire of fear.  People don't dare step out of line, not out of an authentic understanding that the path of moral and ethical uprightness is preferable to the alternative, much less out of love for God or a real desire to please him, but because they are afraid of what would happen to them if they did depart from Islam's vision of morality.

Somalia: Sharia court cuts off man's hand for stealing one dollar.  The report below refers to al-Shabab's "strict interpretation of Islamic law," but this penalty is based on the Qur'an, which does not specify a less draconian sentence for a small theft:  "As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands.  It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah.  Allah is mighty, wise." (5:38)

Somaliland Women's Football Tournament canceled, 'not in line with Islamic values and norms'.  Meanwhile, Leftists and dissemblers keep insisting that Islam respects women's rights, and people actually believe them.

UK: The Horrific Reality of an Islamic No-Go Zone.  The quiet and peaceful town of Walsall has become infested with hostile Islamic gangs and violence.  The first video is emblematic of the conquering strategy that Islam has; the Muslims within the video are clear on their plans to establish Islam and have proclaimed that they "run this area".  Envisaging an apartheid state which is controlled by Muslims, they have conveyed that no other group of people are allowed to enter this area.  Their clear hatred of black people is signified.  It relates to their prophet, who had black slaves and said that the "Devil will look like a black man" and called blacks "raisin heads".  This strategy of conquering has not been investigated by the police at all; nor has there been any community engagement to prevent this type of racial division.  The only priority that the police and council have is to appease the Islamic community.  They are afraid to investigate the hatred and the incendiary language that is being displayed.  Furthermore, this clear attempt to impose Sharia is heightened when this Islamic gang begin showing sympathy for Osama bin Laden and laughing.  They appreciate how he decimated the World Trade Center, and the lives lost.  No one from the Muslim community has decided to protest or prevent these violent Islamists from creating apartheid; they sit quietly whilst complaining about "Islamophobia".

Minneapolis Muslim Group Plans to Start Sharia 'Police' Once City Ends Police Force.  A Muslim group in Minneapolis said that it intends to begin patrolling the streets with a dangerous, violent Sharia patrol force once the city eliminates its police department.  The Minnesota City Council recently voted to begin abolishing the city's police department in the wake of the death of resident George Floyd.  In its report on the council's decision, the New York Times noted that "many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises.  Some cited as an example how, in the days after the killing of Mr. Floyd, teams made up of dozens of members of the American Indian Movement patrolled streets and directed traffic in the Little Earth housing community in Minneapolis."

Minnesota State Rep:  Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to 'Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule'.  As the city of Minneapolis moves to dismantle its police force, Minnesota state Rep. Steve Green on Tuesday stated the obvious that virtually everyone else has been tiptoeing around and pretending isn't there:  "What you're looking at, in my humble opinion, is communism moving into Minneapolis and St.  Paul."  And not just Communism, but the Leftist/Islamic alliance.  Green asserted that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to "police Minneapolis under Muslim rule."  Those who scoff at such a notion simply aren't paying attention to recent developments.  The Minneapolis City Council voted two weeks ago to abolish the city's police force.  Its plans beyond that have so far been sketchy, but something is going to have to be put in place as an alternative to the police.  The New York Times noted that "many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises.

Are Islamists Undermining the West?  [Scroll down]  The Wentzel poll also revealed that, 58% of Muslim-Americans believe that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should not be permitted under the First Amendment, and 46% say that those who engage in such criticism should face criminal charges.  Since specific questions relating to sharia and free speech are a more reliable gauge for identifying Islamist behavior than broad philosophical questions which are open to multiple interpretations, we can conclude, based on the Wenzel poll, that 32% to 58% of American Muslims are Islamists (assuming this poll is reliable).  This aligns with the 42% of Canadian Muslims who said that Islam is "irreconcilable" with the West, and with the 38% of Muslims, identified in the Pew poll, who believe that traditional understandings of Islam are all they need.  What this means is rendered academic:  Take nearly any mosque, any Muslim neighborhood, or any Muslim demographic group, and it is virtually certain that a percentage of the sample population will work towards the implementation of sharia law in society and, in rare cases, even commit violent acts in the name of Islam.

Sharia, the Law of the Land in Afghanistan.  Sharia, by its own definition, is supreme to any other form of law, including the U.S. Constitution, and certainly including any other kind of democratic structure.  The Constitution of Afghanistan, the moment it was endorsed and authorized, is the moment the world lost its grip on the baton in the race.  Once the precedent was set that sharia was going to be an essential component of their Constitution, the ability to successfully implement any sort of democracy or plan for peace was terminated.  The 2004 Constitution of Afghanistan establishes a latent baseline for the future of intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations.  It actually provides a foundation for the Taliban to stand on, as the group can uphold such a constitution without actually violating Islamic law.  As previously mentioned, "no law shall contravene the tenets and provisions of the holy religion of Islam in Afghanistan."  The re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the implementation of sharia remains the ultimate goal of the Taliban in the South Asian country.

Islamic Center of Irving's Mass Data Deletions.  Islamic religious leaders at a local Texas mosque allege that former leaders stole key files and security camera footage.  According to an announcement posted on December 31, 2019, the current leaders alleged former Shura council members deleted key files and transferred files from security camera footage.  On December 31, 2019, the Islamic Center of Irving (ICI) announced on its website that two members of ICI's outgoing Shura Council had "engaged in mass data deletions, downloading, copying of thousands of documents and emails."  The announcement notes that information about lawsuits and audio/video files of Congregants were transferred from ICI's camera and security systems.  According to the announcement, the mosque's attempts to have the information returned have gone unanswered.  Later the announcement was deleted from the ICI website.

Duping Americans on Sharia.  Does Islam itself promote hostility for and violence against non-Muslims, or are all the difficulties between the West and Islam based on secondary factors — from "radical" interpretations of Islam, to economics and grievances?  This is the fundamental question.  Obviously, if "anti-infidel" hostility is inherent to Islam itself, then the conflict becomes existential — a true clash of civilizations, with no easy fixes and lots of ugly implications along the horizon.  Because of this truism, those whose job it is to whitewash Islam's image in the West insist on the opposite — that all difficulties are temporal and not rooted to innate Islamic teachings.

NYC's Fake Cops:  Muslim Community Patrol Plans Increase from 3 Patrol Cars to 30.  Why?  Remember the recent story where MCP started a turf war with a dangerous street gang?  NYPD had to break up that mess, where at least one gang member flashed a gun.  It seems that MCP is again looking for back up heading into the new year, but not from the NYPD.

Sharia Police In Brooklyn Assaulted The Wrong Kid, Now The Bloods Are Out For Blood!  The Muslim Community Patrol in New York recently assaulted a teenaged boy for insulting a Muslim woman outside Siraj Wahhaj's Masjid Taqwa in Brooklyn.  Unfortunately for the Muslim Patrol, the teenager was the son of a high-ranking member of the Bloods (a violent street gang).  A group of Bloods soon showed up at the mosque for a confrontation, but police showed up and dispersed the groups.  One of the Bloods, however, vowed that the conflict wasn't over.  Will we see more conflicts like this due to the rise of Islamic Sharia patrols?  [Video clip]

Brutal Bloods Make Good on Threat of Retaliation Against NY Muslim Patrol.  Members of the brutal Bloods street gang viciously beat a Muslim man outside the Masjid Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, New York Saturday evening [12/21/2019], according to a mosque member.  The beating was seen as retaliation for a Muslim Community Patrol member roughing up a teenage boy who had reportedly "disrespected" a Muslim woman several days earlier.

Dem Witness Noah Feldman Penned Fawning Defense of Islamic Shariah Law.  Harvard Law professor and Democrat witness Noah Feldman takes the witness stand today in front of the House Judiciary Committee.  Feldman wrote in a New York Times op-ed published on March 16, 2008 that "Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world."  He also juxtaposed Sharia with English common law, and claimed the West "needs Shariah and Islam".

Sharia and the Constitution.  Not all who claim to follow Sharia really do.  But Sharia calls for those who do not follow Sharia to be murdered, mutilated, tortured, raped, enslaved, repressed, and terrorized.  American law prohibits almost all of what is authorized by Sharia.  There is no moral equivalence between Sharia and Judeo-Christian morality.  There is no place for Sharia in America or in any society that strives to advance civilization.  Yet in America, criminally negligent officials violate American law by unlawfully permitting adherents to Sharia to hold sworn office as congressional representatives, judges, police officials, and other public offices.  Law prohibits anyone to hold any sworn office who does not swear full allegiance to the Constitution, yet hordes of adherents to Sharia are unlawfully permitted to hold sworn office, whose allegiance is to a set of laws diametrically opposed to the Constitution.

Ribat: The Truth Behind "Muslim Enclaves".  Last March, 2019, Reuters reported that the "Islamic State's last enclave in eastern Syria" had fallen. [...] While this was welcome news, it also prompted one to wonder: what of all those other Islamic enclaves, those unassimilated ticking time bombs that proliferate throughout the West, which are packed with ISIS-sympathizers, not to mention ISIS members, and which the West largely fails to recognize as such?  I am referring to those many so-called "No-Go Zones":  Western cities and regions that have effectively become Islamic ghettoes.  There, Sharia is de facto law; Muslims are openly radicalized to hate infidels; non-Muslims, even police, are afraid to enter lest they get mugged, raped, or killed.

A Texas Mayor Defends the Constitution from Sharia Law.  [Mayor Beth] Van Duyne's reputation soared outside her city since February 2015, when she became aware that some Muslims intended to create a Sharia court in Irving, TX.  To follow with her oath of office, she wanted to make sure if in fact, these stories were accurate.  Van Duyne went directly to the source, the Islamictribunal.org website.  What she noticed was shocking.  The imams at the website referred to themselves as "attorneys" and "judges" even though none of them were lawyers or practice law in the State of Texas.  She noted a phone number for legal services.  There was also a disclaimer at the bottom that read:  "Don't send us any confidential material, before an attorney client relationship has been established."  They were even charging for their services.  They listed divorce cases, product liability, business, and real estate litigations as their legal specialties.

New York's Sharia Patrol.  When Muslim Community Patrol & Services rolled their police-cruiser-like cars onto the streets of New York City in November 2018, there was no prior media briefing, no public announcement, no ceremony or grand unveiling.  Not surprisingly, the sight of official-looking cars — made to look like police New York City cars — emblazoned with the words "Muslim Community Patrol" cruising the avenues of Brooklyn and Staten Island — in the United States of America — was quick to generate news coverage, commentary and alarm.  Most of the mainstream American media reacted in typical fashion.  Ever fearful of offending radicalized Muslim communities or digging too deeply into unsavory truths, they gushed in glowing news reports about the new patrol cars and portrayed them as a "neighborhood watch" for Muslim-dominated areas. [...] Yet, a little digging shows that the Muslim Community Patrol has an underlying agenda:  to enforce Islamic sharia law first in the Muslim community and then in American community at large.

France: At least 46% of Muslims want Sharia to be applied in the country.  Sharia denies the freedom of speech and the equality of rights of women and non-Muslims, and is deeply antisemitic.  Will these Muslims get their wish?  Unless things change in some major way, they most certainly will.

Why many Muslims treat Bernie Sanders like a rock star.  Sanders has maintained a fervent following as he campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination and tries to attract key voting blocs such as African Americans and Latinos.  He has found success among a smaller group rarely on the radar for White House hopefuls:  Muslims.  Other Democratic presidential candidates have visited mosques on the campaign trail this year or spoken to Muslim groups.  But Sanders has done it first and done it bigger, building on relationships with Muslim communities that took off during his previous presidential campaign, said Youssef Chouhoud, a political science professor at Christopher Newport University who studies the role of Muslims in politics.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: 'God Expects Us To Do The Righteous Work' In Politics.  At a "Plight of Black Immigrants" forum, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a Muslim, suggested her god expects people to vote in a certain way.  "God expects us to do the righteous work," Omar said.  "And, so, god does not expect you to vote for people who will ultimately hurt you and other humans around you." [...] How likely is it that journalists will follow up on these comments by asking Omar in future interviews how, exactly, she thinks her god Allah influences her votes?

Are American Voters Helpless?  Just ask yourself, why is the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliate like the Council on Islamic American Relations (CAIR) have not been placed on the list of terrorist organizations?  Most of us know that Islamic law is practiced in some parts of the U.S. and we know that Sharia law is incompatible with our laws and the U.S. Constitution.  Again, nothing has been done to stop it in its tracks!  Islam, like Communism, Nazism, and other isms, is ideological to its core.  It still retains its poisonous ideological connection with Nazism and the Arabic version of Hitler's Mein Kampf and its fictitious propaganda. [...] We are about to lose America's identity and freedom without even noticing it and our own elected officials are either ignorant or play the political correctness game.  We aren't even allowed to name the enemy that is Islam.

India: McDonald's facing massive boycotts for serving only Islamic halal meat in this Hindu-majority country.  Hindus don't even believe in killing cows, let alone barbarically slaughtering fully-conscious animals the way Muslims do.

Has Rep. Ilhan Omar Committed a Stoning Offense?  The wearing of hijab is a sign of Sharia compliance, and that may mean trouble for the notorious Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).  Stoning adulterers is not "extremist"; it is Islamic law.  And Ilhan Omar may be one.

Navy SEAL platoon kicked out of Iraq for drinking alcohol while deployed, officials say.  The commander of a U.S. Special Operations task force in Iraq has sent home a platoon of Navy SEALs for drinking while deployed, U.S. defense officials said, the latest discipline incident that has emerged for an elite force relied upon heavily by the Pentagon.  U.S. Special Operations Command said in a statement Wednesday night that the platoon was forced out early to San Diego by the commander of the task force, Maj. Gen. Eric T. Hill, "due to a perceived deterioration of good order and discipline within the team during non-operational periods" of their deployment.

The Morning They Beheaded The Drug Smugglers:  It Wasn't Pretty, Believe Me.  Saudi Arabia performs beheadings for murder, rape, armed robbery, drug smuggling, and other offenses that "threaten the public order," such as armed robbery.

French Locals to Counter Burkini Protest with Nude Swimming.  Following an announcement by a group to hold a second "burkini" protest at a pool in the French city of Grenoble, counter-protesters have called on locals to swim in the pool wearing nothing at all.  Last Sunday [6/23/2019], a group of around a dozen women belonging to the Alliance Citoyenne (Citizens' Alliance) protested at a pool that had banned the wearing of the Islamic sharia-compliant swimwear, with police being called soon after the group were told the burkini was against the rules of the pool.

Islamic Subversion in America.  Warning of the danger of Islam is based on irrefutable facts, and it is not only rational, but ethically imperative.  With the arrival of massive numbers of Muslims to America, our culture and our way of life are forever transformed.  By now, most Americans know that Islam is incompatible with our laws and the U.S. Constitution.  Again, nothing is being done officially to combat that.  Islamists, by sheer numbers, eventually will be able to vote out democracy in many countries.  They will elect Muslims to all positions of local influence, who will create and enforce policy according to the Quran.  Once they have control over a town, they will begin to establish informal sharia, and there's nothing the government can (or will want to) do about it.  Oddly enough, our elected officials have completely ignored the Islamization of European cities.

Multiculturalism Is a Nation Killer.  Minorities will support the idea of multiculturalism as long as it advances their own interests.  Consequently, tribalism ironically finds its justification in multiculturalism.  In the name of multiculturalism, Muslims want public schools closed on Muslim holidays and halal food in the school cafeterias.  Somehow the tribal aspirations of all cultures are legitimate, unless those tribes are white or Christian. [...] Muslims in Seattle wanted their public-school students greeted with a Koranic blessing during Ramadan but let a dozen Christians stand beneath the flag and silently pray in the name of Jesus, and one would think the Constitution was being eviscerated.

On the Moral and Legal Status of Islam in the United States.  When we examine the application of Sharia law in the West, most particularly in Europe where it is gaining ascendancy, people will come to see a few fundamental tenets about Islam.  Its foundation and governing principle is that Sharia law regulates the personal and public behavior of all Muslims and non-Muslims under its governance.  When we think of Islam mainly as a religion, we cannot disambiguate it from Sharia law which, when examined, allows us to see that the legal, cultural and political aspects of the religion supersede the purely private religious aspects of it.  World Islam, above all, has become a political ideology.  Sharia law is a weaponized political tool supervening the public sphere that violates every sacred tenet of American life.

Sharia Law Nation of Qatar Bankrolls Viral Videos Critical of America's Positions On Abortion, LGBTQ Issues.  The ultraconservative, Sharia-law nation of Qatar is funding a propaganda channel similar to BuzzFeed and gets liberal millennials to echo anti-American content.  AJ+, or Al Jazeera Plus, frequently uses its platform as one of the largest viral video makers on Facebook to criticize America as homophobic, racist, anti-worker, plagued with violence and repressive to women.  Yet Qatar, the Middle Eastern nation that bankrolls AJ+, is legitimately oppressive with laws prohibiting homosexuality and abortions.  It also uses slaves and is highly restrictive about who can and can't enter and leave the country.

Study Finds Shariah Law Involved in Court Cases in 23 States.  The Center for Security Policy today [5/17/2011] released an in-depth study, Shariah Law and American State Courts:  An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases.  The study evaluates 50 appellate court cases from 23 states that involve conflicts between Shariah (Islamic law) and American state law.  The analysis finds that Shariah has been applied or formally recognized in state court decisions, in conflict with the Constitution and state public policy.  Some commentators have tried to minimize this problem, claiming, as an editorial in yesterday's Los Angeles Times put it that, "...There is scant evidence that American judges are resolving cases on the basis of shariah."  To the contrary, our study identified 50 significant cases just from the small sample of appellate court published cases.  Others have asserted with certainty that state court judges will always reject any foreign law, including Shariah law, when it conflicts with the Constitution or state public policy.  The Center's analysis, however, found 15 trial court cases, and 12 appellate court cases, where Shariah was found to be applicable in these particular cases.

In England:
Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after 'strong demand' from Muslims.  Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from almost 200 outlets, and switched to halal meat alternatives in an attempt to please its Muslim customers.  It has confirmed turkey ham and turkey rashers will be used instead in 185 of its stores, where all the meat will now be prepared according to halal rules.  The chain, which has around 1,500 outlets across the UK, explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with 'the views of religious communities'.

The Editor says...
There is only one "religious community" that matters in England any more.

DOJ Forces Islamic Cemetery on Farmersville, [Texas] Against Citizens Wishes.  The Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas today [4/18/2019] announced an agreement with the City of Farmersville, Texas, to resolve allegations that the City violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) when, in July 2017, it denied an application by the Islamic Association of Collin County (Islamic Association) to build a cemetery.

Brunei urges tourism while at the same time implementing draconian Sharia Law.  Culture.  Heritage.  Nature.  Contemporary Asia.  A distinctive, exciting, and undiscovered travel destination in Asia.  It sounds like a whimsical haven, and it is part of the marketing materials being issued by Brunei's Tourism arm in a reinvigorated push to draw tourists to the tiny, oil-rich monarchy.  Problem is, the glossy allure comes at the same time the country is being cast under an ugly international spotlight for implementing the harshest array of Sharia Law regulations.

Sex, Drugs and Sharia Law?  The crazy rich sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, who pushed through brutal new sharia laws for his country that become effective next week.  Those laws allow for stoning and whipping to death LGBTQ people in the tiny oil-rich kingdom.  Seen as part of the kingdom's "reforms" initiative, it begs the question:  When are the sultan and his family going to reform their own non-sharia compliant deviant behavior (not to mention their exorbitant quasi-unIslamic extreme spending)?

LGBT+ people to be stoned or whipped to death in Brunei under new sex law.  Brunei is set to permit the stoning and whipping to death of LGBT+ people under a series of reforms to its penal code that are attracting international condemnation.  New laws due to come into effect next Wednesday will see the tiny kingdom become the first nation in southeast Asia to impose the death penalty for those found engaging in same-sex intercourse.  Homosexuality was already illegal and carried a long jail sentence in Brunei.  However, the country is in the process of introducing a sharia law-style system for criminal punishment.

Unassimilated Islamic Enclaves and 'No-Go' Zones:  Ticking Time Bombs Proliferating in the West.  "The operation to take Islamic State's last enclave in eastern Syria looked close to an end," Reuters recently reported, "as U.S.-backed fighters said they were combing the area for hidden jihadists ... Its enclave at Baghouz was the last part of the massive territory it suddenly seized in 2014, straddling swathes of Iraq and Syria, where its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a new caliphate."  While this is welcome news, it also prompts one to wonder:  what of all those other Islamic enclaves, those unassimilated ticking time bombs that proliferate throughout the West, which are packed with ISIS-sympathizers, not to mention ISIS members, and which the West largely fails to recognize as such?  I am referring to those many so-called "no-go" zones:  Western cities and regions that have effectively become Islamic ghettoes.  There, Sharia is the de facto law; Muslims are openly radicalized to hate infidels; non-Muslims, even police, are afraid to enter lest they get mugged, raped, or killed.

Keywords: halal, haram.
Minnesota food shelves add ingredients to adapt to diverse clientele.  On the days when women of East African descent come to the food shelf, the staff at Community Emergency Service knows to set out paper bags filled with sugar, flour and vegetable oil.  Those are the first items that go in their carts.  "We try to provide them a different type of food shelf," said executive director Mike Lloyd.  The offerings "are not all ethnically specific, but they're culturally appropriate."  The staples are used to make injera, a type of African bread, and other popular Somali dishes.

Ten legit public policy questions to ask Ilhan Omar.  Here are my ten questions:  [#1] Why don't you defend the rights of Muslim women in Somalia and other Muslim-majority countries?  [#2]  Why don't you talk about the violation of women's rights by enforcing sharia in some Muslim nations?  Here is a list for you to fight while you are enjoying equal rights in the U.S.: female genital mutilation, male guardianship, child marriage, banning women from holding high-ranking judiciary and administrative positions, banning female singers' voices from the radio, television, and CDs and audiocassettes, segregation of the sexes and gender apartheid stretched to every aspect of public life, denial of the right to obtain custody of their children from certain ages if divorced, and considering women as half-human in court procedures.  [#3]  In your ideal country, could women choose what to wear, where to go, and what to do? [...]

Gated City Upon a Hill.  Appearing with insignia nearly identical to that of New York City police patrol cars, the Muslim Community Patrol & Services (MCPS) have taken to the streets in Staten Island and Brooklyn.  We have been assured by MCPS Vice President Noor Rabah, however, their intention is not at all to police dress, behavior, and speech in Muslim enclaves in order to make sure that they conform with the tenets of Islam. [...] Understandably, the NYPD has some concerns about the MCPS.  Department spokeswoman Sgt. Jessica McRorie insisted the NYPD had not outfitted or labeled the group's cars, adding that the "group is not officially sanctioned by the NYPD and they are subject to the law."  But Rabah issued a valid point in response.  "We're not looking for someone to 'outfit' our car," said Rabah.  "We're looking for equal respect."

Google For Muslims:  Censorship Bringing Communities Together?  The Islamic world may soon get a little more freedom when it comes to internet privileges, but how censored will the information they view become?  SalamWeb, a Malaysian group, is working on creating a web experience that would allow Muslims access to community-vetted messaging, news, and browsing.  The program is designed to restrict forbidden topics, such as pornography, gambling, drinking, prostitution, and pork-related advertisements.

As These Muslim Judges Are Elected In The US, Are Shariah-Compliant Rulings Straight Ahead?  At the end of November 2018, I reported on the number of Muslims that won political office during the elections.  However, have you heard of the Muslim judges that were elected to be on the bench in several key states?  California, Michigan, Texas and New York all elected Muslim judges.  At least six positions for judge were filled by Muslims.  Keep in mind, that their ideology, theology and law are diametrically opposed to American and Biblical law.

The Primary Role of the Mosque is the Seat of the Islamic Government.  A mosque is not an "Islamic church" as some falsely believe.  A mosque or masjid, also called an Islamic Center, is the center of the Islamic community.  It is a mix of a Town Hall and a District Court.  It is very similar to an embassy.  When a mosque is built, muslims are claiming up to three (3) miles around the mosque as Islamic territory.  It is the seat of the Islamic government where sharia is adjudicated, Islam/sharia is taught, social events are held, jihadi are trained, battles planned, and it is the place from which battles are launched.  And, oh by the way, muslims pray there.

Ten reasons to immigrate to Iran.  Here you have ten reasons to move to Iran under the Islamist rule:  [#1] If you are a child-molester and want to have four permanent nine- to fifteen-year-old wives and unlimited non-permanent wives (more than nine years old), you should immigrate to Iran.  All these relationships are legal and cheap in the country.  You can even informally purchase a girl for some thousand dollars in some deprived provinces.  Not even in Saudi Arabia can you do child marriage anymore, but it is free in Iran.  Lovers of child marriage have an oasis there. [...] [#4] If you are looking for a young and cheap prostitute, Iran is your destination.  The age of prostitution has decreased to 13 in recent years, and you can procure basic "services" for two dollars.  [#5] If you hate laws and regulations, Iran is your hometown.  Laws and regulations are passed to be violated by the powerful and well connected.  Although all the laws favor the Islamist strata, they are thrown in the garbage bin for the sake of Islamic expediency.

No Sharia in America.  Every liberal media outlet is celebrating the election of two Muslim women to Congress — Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. [...] It is clear that Ilhan Omar is an America-hating leftist who is using her religion to win sympathy as a victim.  Muslims have not been victims of Americans.  It is the other way around.  Islamists killed 3000 of our people on 9/11 and have killed many more in other terrorist attacks.  Yet, by her own admission, after 9/11, Omar did not start an anti-terrorist movement within Islam.  She did not express mourning over the deaths of fellow citizens.  Instead she played the Muslim victim and decided to start wearing her hijab to express pride in her Islamic identity.

NYC Muslims' new community patrol group, with squad cars, have residents worried about 'creeping Sharia'.  Some New York City residents were shocked last week to see vehicles with the words "Muslim Community Patrol" emblazoned on them cruising the streets like police squad cars.  The sight of the vehicles immediately led to concerns about "creeping Sharia."

Intersectionality at the Crossroads.  [T]he inconsistency between the views and associations of the [women's] march leaders and the useful idiots who followed their call was highlighted in recent weeks when the media were compelled to finally report what had been known for a long time but kept hidden from credulous consumers of their pap:  the Women's March leaders were linked inextricably to Louis Farrakhan, an anti-Semite, anti-homosexual, anti-white propagandist who spreads lies about slavery — ignoring the most significant role of Moslems in it even to this day.  And the press hid the fact that women like Linda Sarsour were all in for Sharia, the religious-legal system that more than any other punishes women, gays, and blacks.  Sharia creates the submission culture that keeps the poor at the bottom with little chance of upward mobility and society at such a low level of productivity that environmental protection and proper healthcare are unaffordable, and legitimizes slavery, which continues in places like North Africa.  Indeed, her anti-American point of view was known months before the march in 2017 but barely, if at all, covered by the mainstream media.

Is The Mall of America Now a Sharia Space?  You might wonder why there are Somalia "refugees" in Minnesota.  Why the U.S. flew them over a half dozen or so safe, Sunni Muslim countries.  Then brought them to our shores.  Why at the same time we spurned Iraqi Christians with nowhere to go, whose country we'd actually messed up and rendered unsafe for them.  But that would be silly.  We can spot it as part of a plan, one newly elected President Barack Obama announced right at the start.  His goal?  The "fundamental transformation" of America.

Eternal Darkness of the Leftist Mind.  Leftists scold conservatives for supposedly not caring about women.  And yet, leftists support the acceleration of Sharia law in America.  Sharia advocates female genital mutilation which involves piercing, cutting, and removing or sewing closed a girl's or woman's genitals for no medical reason.  A leftist judge in Michigan has recently ruled that outlawing female genital mutilation is unconstitutional.  Researchers estimate the judge's ruling puts 513,000 girls and women at risk in the U.S.  Incredibly, leftists say anyone who opposes this barbaric abuse of women is a racist and a hater.

10 Questions About the Compatibility of Islam with America.  Sharia law is in direct conflict with the Bill or Rights.  The First Amendment, for instance, states Congress shall make no law prohibiting the "free exercise" of religion.  Yet Mohammad said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.  Those who reject Islam must be killed."  Islamic law enforces dhimmi status on non-Muslims, prohibiting them from observing their religious practices publicly, raising their voices during prayer, ringing church bells or saying anything considered "insulting to Islam."  Islamic law relegates non-Muslims to "dhimmi" status, where they are forbidden to propagate their customs among Muslims and cannot display a cross, Christmas decorations or the Star of David.  There's a lot more, but you get the idea. [...] In its current form, with the explicit goal of a global caliphate under Sharia, Islam must be regarded as an existential threat.  Specific ways are needed to deal with an ideology that openly seeks to destroy Western Civilization.

Submission:  Canada bans adoption from Muslim countries because Sharia prohibits it.  The Islamic ban on adoption, like the allowance of child marriage, is more of the poison fruit of considering Muhammad the "excellent example" for believers to imitate.  As you can see below, Muhammad banned adoption so he wouldn't look so bad in having taken his adopted son's ex-wife as one of his wives.  He thereby condemned millions of orphaned children to lives of misery.  And now the government of Canada, a nation that is supposed to be civilized, is implementing this sharia ban on adoption, so as not to offend Muslims.  Clearly the Muslim community is the new master of Canada, at least as long as Justin Trudeau is in power.

Will Hyatt Hotels Corp comply with sharia law by banning groups that criticize Islam?  Muslim groups have won their first major victory in censoring Judeo-Christian and patriotic groups that hold meetings in hotels.  Hyatt plans to ban certain "hate groups" after Muslim Advocates pressed hotels to stop doing business with them.  Such a ban follows the Sharia tenet which calls for strong punishment of anyone who criticizes Islam or Muhammad.  Sharia law, which is a combination of the Quran and fatwas, calls for punitive treatment of people who insult Islam.  Latimes.com published an article titled Hyatt hotels won't rent to hate groups, CEO says; Muslim group claims a victory.  The article states in part:  Hyatt Hotels Corp., one of the nation's largest hotel companies, announced it will no longer host hate groups at its nearly 800 properties, a move that was praised by a Muslim advocacy group.  Act for America, a strong advocate for preserving America's constitutional republic, was the subject of heavy Muslim contention reported in the LA Times article.  Act for America opposes the infiltration of Sharia law into America public policy and law.

New York Times Hits "Disturbing Trend" Of Seeing Islam As "Not A Religion".  The efforts to get accommodation for Muslim women wearing hijabs in the workplace are not the same thing as Christian bakers refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding, because the Christian bakery is not part of a larger effort to establish and reinforce the principle that wherever Christian belief and practice conflict with American law, it is American law that must give way.  But there is a large-scale and ongoing effort, as longtime readers of the Geller Report well know, to establish and reinforce the principle that wherever Islamic law and American law conflict, American law must give way.  The larger question in this insidious New York Times article is whether the protections afforded by the First Amendment give Muslims — or anyone else — permission to break other American laws.

Muslim Woman Sues, Demands Court Obey Sharia Law — Judge Has A Better Idea.  During her divorce, a migrant woman filed a lawsuit demanding the district court enforce Sharia law.  Unfortunately for her, the ruling judge had a different plan.

Michigan:  Muslims were giving voters rides to the polls to elect sharia candidates.  Despite a few setbacks, they are aggressively picking up seats in elected office all across the U.S. The end goal for all Muslims is sharia.  They aren't joking.

Soccer Moms Take On Sharia In New Book.  "The best defense is grassroots education," concludes Valerie L. Greenfeld concerning domestic jihadist dangers in her new book Backyard Jihad:  How Parents Can Detect the Invisible Threat of Radicalization.  Her primer for Main Street communities contending with Muslims dreaming dangerous dreams of establishing Islamic states in the West raises important issues for the citizens of the free world in America and beyond who are seeking a first line of civil defense against sharia supremacism.  Greenfield's book dismisses myths about jihadist terrorism involving disadvantaged individuals turning to violence out of despair.  "Contrary to some media reports, those joining terrorist organizations in the U.S. rarely do so as a result of poverty or lack of education, dignity, or occupation," she writes.  "Why leave the U.S. after being fortunate enough to enter the freedom of America?" she perceptively notes of individuals in Islamic immigrant communities who leave America's Promised Land for jihad in foreign hellholes.

To Win This War Americans Must Know Sharia.  U.S. warfighting doctrine states that to professionally analyze a threat, you begin with how the threat defines itself and why the threat states it is fighting you.  From Al Qaeda and the Islamic State to the 9/11 attackers to the Boston Marathon bombers and jihadis killed or captured in Europe and the United States, the Islamic enemy unanimously states they are "muslims waging jihad to establish an Islamic state (caliphate) under sharia (Islamic law)."  To date, the U.S. intelligence and military community has yet to do a professional analysis of our enemy.  They have failed to read, study, and teach sharia.  This is why we are losing the war.

Texas: Islamic sharia slaughterhouse will be built in Tyler County, despite citizen opposition.  Despite riled-up opposition from Tyler County residents, East Texas Packing LLC on Tuesday [6/5/2018] stressed its commitment to bringing a religiously designated meat processing facility to the area.  East Texas Packing CEO Danny Stanley released a statement addressing residents' concerns, which include environmental problems and the company's adherence to Muslim law in its meat preparation.  Stanley said the facility is expected to begin operations this fall.  The company is ready to accept local bids for construction at its Tyler County Industrial Park site, he said.  Woodville's city council approved a memorandum of understanding with East Texas Packing during a special city council meeting on Feb. 6.  Details of the agreement were not included in the meeting minutes.

Inside Britain's secretive sharia courts.  What strikes you first is the squalid nature of the women's stories.  Their husbands have beaten and abused them, they claim; lied and cheated, cavorted with prostitutes, become addicted to drugs.  One weeping wife even accuses her spouse of molesting her infant child.  Wearing colourful headscarves and robes, and often clutching handbags stuffed with banknotes to pay the £300 fee for their cases to be decided, this procession of downtrodden women have come before a panel of three judges to plead for their miserable marriages to be dissolved.

Muslim Leader:  America Must Understand Sharia Law is Greater Than the Constitution, Therefore Muslims are Above the Law.  The Director of the Dallas Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Mustafa Carroll, made a surprising and shocking statement during a Muslim rally in Austin, Texas.  He firmly believes that the message of the Qur'an is supreme over the United States constitution.  The statement would be shocking to most citizens of the United States, unless they had some perspective on who CAIR really is.  He said, "If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land."  CAIR is the nation's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.  Their headquarters is located in Washington D.C.  They use lobbyists, the media, and action alerts to promote a positive image of Islam in America during a time when Radical Muslims (ISIS) in other parts of the world are crucifying children in the name of Allah, and quoting the Koran.

Exposing Sharia-Queen Linda Sarsour.  Linda Sarsour, a radical Arab Muslim in America with ties to Hamas, is one of the leading promoters of the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions movement against the State of Israel, while promoting Islamic sharia for America.  Her antisemitic and anti-American activities are funded by NYC Mayor bill DeBlasio, who makes sure she gets grants worth hundreds of thousands of NYC taxpayer dollars every year.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Lashes!  [Video clip]

Sweden: Man faces "hate speech" charges for satirizing Sharia punishments.  "Hate speech" is not an objectively identifiable category.  Any criticism of anyone or anything could be characterized as inciting hatred against the object of the criticism.  The "hate speech" classification, as I have often pointed out, is simply a tool of the powerful to silence the powerless.  These satirical children's book covers focus upon matters of genuine concern:  Sharia stonings and lashings, both of which take place today.  But to point them out is "hate speech," because the Swedish government wants to keep its people ignorant and complacent in the face of the Muslim migrant inundation.

If You Don't Know Abrogation You Don't Know Sharia.  One of the facets of sharia (Islamic Law) that turns the light bulb on in people's minds more than anything else seems to be the moment they grasp the Koranic concept of abrogation and progressive revelation. [...] Bringing greater sharia adherence to the world via jihad is the Muslim Brotherhood's entire focus of all they do, and the stated objective of all of the jihadi organizations on the planet.

Ongoing Islamization of America — Muslims Going Hyper Political.  The Muslims (and Muslim Brotherhood) are going hyper political, a sign of preparation for the upper house.  (This negates the argument that Shariah is just a personal faith and not to be imposed on non-Muslims).  They are also using interfaith dialogue and interfaith churches as political cover for their infiltration. [...] It is becoming common place for these Muslims to take their oath of office on the Quran and not the Bible (very troubling when we remember that the Constitution is seen as man made law by the Quran and Allah's law must be made superior).

A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in Britain:  February 2018.  The Home Office published the report of an 18-month independent review into the application of Sharia law in Britain by so-called Sharia councils.  The review, chaired by Professor Mona Siddiqui, a professor of Islam at the University of Edinburgh, proposed legislative changes that would require Muslim couples to undergo a civil marriage before or at the same time as their Islamic ceremony.  Such a requirement would provide women with legal protection under British law.  The review said that nearly all those using Sharia councils were females seeking an Islamic divorce.  As a "significant number" of Muslim couples do not register their marriages under civil law, "some Muslim women have no option of obtaining a civil divorce."  The report also recommended that Sharia councils be subject to regulation.

Sharia Crime Stoppers — What It Is And Why Law Enforcement MUST Understand It.  Mr. Manasseri explains his experiences living near the "Muslim capitol of the United States" and what Law Enforcement needs to know about Sharia crimes.  [Video clip]

Islam Must Be Stopped.  Islamic rules are called sharia law or the Islamic law.  Sharia law is a misnomer, for laws must be squarely based on justice and fairness to all, while sharia law is nothing more than a primitive set of dogmata stipulated by Muslim men for the benefit of Muslim men.  Sharia law disenfranchises women from their legitimate equal rights with men and prescribes barbaric punishments such as stoning, amputation of limbs, and death.  Sharia law, contrary to what its advocates claim, does not limit application of its draconian provisions to Muslims only:  it considers any and all disputes involving Muslims with non-Muslims also in its purview to adjudicate.  Sharia law is inherently arbitrary, obsolete, and discriminatory in the extreme.  Wherever Sharia law rules, injustice prevails.  Non-Muslims, women, and even children are victimized by its biased and cruel provisions.  Sharia law represents a twist to the concept of Blind Justice:  it is indeed blind to justice.

Idaho: "anti-Sharia" bill passes, with just 2 'no' votes.  After more than two hours of testimony both for and against the bill, the House State Affairs Committee has voted to approve Rep. Eric Redman's anti-Sharia law bill, with just two dissenting votes.  The two dissenters were Reps.  Elaine Smith, D-Pocatello, and Dustin Manwaring, R-Pocatello; Rep. Paulette Jordan, D-Plummer, wasn't present, nor was her substitute who's filled in for her earlier this week, as she submitted her resignation from the Legislature today.  All other committee members supported Redman's bill, which he calls "American Law for American Courts."  The bill follows model legislation developed by the American Public Policy Alliance, a group headed by Louisiana attorney Stephen Gele that promotes the concept to states, and has gotten it passed in several.  A 2010 Oklahoma constitutional amendment forbidding that state's courts from considering Sharia in decisions was overturned in federal court in 2013.  Redman said his bill could affect other types of foreign laws as well.

Southern Poverty Law Center working to advance the establishment of Sharia Law in US.  That is about all one can conclude when you see the great lengths the SPLC is going to in one state — Idaho — to stop any legislation (through intimidation) that would confirm that in America, US law is the law.

Convicted Muslim rapist sues state over failure to provide sharia meals.  An inmate has sued Oregon Department of Corrections staff for failing to serve meals that observe his Muslim faith.  Rashid Kambarov, 29, who is serving a sentence for rape, filed a complaint this week in U.S. District Court in Pendleton.  He is a legal permanent resident from Turkey and is incarcerated at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla.  He is suing the superintendent of Two Rivers, Troy Bowser, and other administrators at the prison.

Living in Pakistan: A Hell for Non-Muslims.  In Pakistan, Muslims burn the homes of non-Muslims, burn their places of worship, burn their holy books, even burn their women and children alive — and there is no law or punishment to prevent this criminal behaviour or to make non-Muslims safe.  Non-Muslim women and children are raped and forcibly converted; this is considered a religious obligation to please "Allah," the god of Islam.  These taskmasters see themselves as "Soldiers of Allah".  Even if a case of "blasphemy" is not proven against Christians, they still can be killed by an angry mob or while in police custody.  Non-Muslims can also easily be sentenced to death by a court:  even a single claim by Muslim against a non-Muslim is enough to "prove" him guilty.  Christian leaders and organizations, especially the Pope, have failed to give any hope to persecuted Christians.  Providing a press release or sending a note is not enough.  The Pope truly needs to come to help his flock, to establish policies to safeguard these persecuted people from the Islamic world.

Sharia Law for Non-Muslims.  Islam is a political system with its own body of laws called Sharia.  Sharia law is based on entirely different principles than our laws.

Sweden: 71-year-old man prosecuted for "hate speech" for criticizing Islam.  "71-year-old Denny called out Islam for being a 'fascist ideology' — prosecuted for hate speech."

German federal court overturns 'Sharia police' acquittals.  A German federal court has overturned the acquittal of seven men who posed as a self-styled "Sharia police."  The group took to the streets of Wuppertal in September 2014 in orange vests bearing the words "Sharia police," handing out leaflets declaring the area a "Sharia-controlled zone" where alcohol, music and pornography were banned.

Muslim attorney drops frivolous $100M Little Caesars halal lawsuits.  An Arab-American [read:  Muslim] attorney has dropped two lawsuits against the Little Caesars pizza chain after receiving threats against him and his daughter on social media.  Majed Moughni, a Dearborn-based attorney, chose to drop the lawsuits after a man made threats against him and his 11-year-old daughter on Facebook and Instagram.  Moughni had filed lawsuits against Little Caesars on behalf of Michelle Meade and her husband, Mohamad Bazzi, a Dearborn couple who said the pizza chain had sold fake halal pizzas at its Schaefer Road location.

Leaving Bacon at a Mosque Gets You 15 Years for 'Hate Crime.' This Is Sharia in America.  In reality, the FBI's latest Hate Crime report proves that there is no anti-Muslim backlash.  But Michael Wolfe, the mosque vandal, got 15 years in prison and another 15 years of probation, to be served after his prison sentence, for leaving bacon on the doorstep of a mosque and breaking a few windows.  Have you ever heard of such a thing in America? [...] Anti-Jewish crimes are four times that of "anti-Muslim" crimes, and you never heard of such convictions.

Londonistan: 423 New Mosques; 500 Closed Churches.  British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism.  Muslims do not need to become the majority in the UK; they just need gradually to Islamize the most important cities.  The change is already taking place.  British personalities keep opening the door to introducing Islamic sharia law.  One of the leading British judges, Sir James Munby, said that Christianity no longer influences the courts and these must be multicultural, which means more Islamic.  Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, and Chief Justice Lord Phillips, also suggested that the English law should "incorporate" elements of sharia law.

Jihadis All Want One Thing — Sharia Imposed on the World.  Unanimously, all of the violent jihadi groups (Al Qaeda, the Islamic State, Boko Haram, Abu Sayef, Al Shabaab, Hamas, Hizbollah...), the suit-wearing jihadis of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the 57 Islamic members of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) — the heads of state of all 56 Islamic nations plus the Palestinian territories — clearly state they seek to impose sharia (Islamic Law) on the earth.

Virginia: Muslims Call For "Force" To Be Used Against "Infidels" To Accept The Koran.  [Scroll down]  I don't know about you, but this is nothing more than treason.  This is clearly setting up teaching to overthrow the government of the united States and establish Islamic law here.  Where is the Attorney General in Virginia?  Where is the Governor?  Oh wait, they are Democrats.  They are complicit in this treason.

Jihadis All Want One Thing — Sharia Imposed on the World.  Jihadis — "terrorists" if you prefer — arrested or killed in Europe and North America all state they do what they do for the sake of Islam's god "Allah."  Jihadis (sharia adherent muslims) state they are muslims waging jihad in the cause of Allah to establish an Islamic State (caliphate) under sharia (Islamic Law).  All Islamic sources — from the gold standard of Islamic jurisprudence in the world (Al Azhar in Cairo, Egypt) to Islamic elementary and junior high schools — define Islam as a "complete way of life governed by sharia."

Opposition mounts to proposed Dairy Queen-turned-slaughterhouse on Walden.  Masaab Darwish wants to open a street-front restaurant and a slaughterhouse, mainly for fresh chicken and turkeys, at 822 Walden Ave., near Academy Road.  He is asking the Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals for a use variance to allow him to convert a block building in the rear of the site into the slaughterhouse.  Darwish said it would be one of the few slaughterhouses in the area, and perhaps the only one in the entire city.  It would operate under halal, the Muslim dietary laws that also guide how animals must be killed before the meat can be eaten.

Canada: Muslim judge jails man for 5 months for "no more Muslims" scrawls.  A judge has sentenced a man who scrawled anti-Muslim graffiti at bus stops in Durham Region to five months in jail.  Joseph Porco shows little insight into the harmful nature of his conduct, Ontario Court Justice Ferhan Javed said in handing down the sentence Thursday, Sept. 21.  "Mr. Porco's message left black marks on a public bench but even after the words are scrubbed away with a guilty plea, it leaves stains that may be more permanent," the judge said.  "Mr. Porco's message was both hateful and hurtful to the community and needs to be deterred."

What Is The Purpose of Islamic Centers/Mosques in America?  Many Americans believe a mosque or Islamic Center is simply a "Muslim church."  This could not be further from the truth.  In Islam, Mohammad is considered the al Insan al Kamil — the perfect example of a man.  Anything he did is considered the example for all Muslims to follow for all time.  Muslim men can marry girls as young as six years old because Mohammad did.  Mohammad beheaded Jews at the Battle of the Trench, so this is an "excellent example" for Muslims to follow.  And Mohammad built mosques.  Islam defines itself as a "complete way of life (social, cultural, political, military, religious)" governed by sharia (Islamic Law).  There is no separation of politics, religion, or military operations.  Mohammad was a political, religious, and military leader.  The mosque was and is a place where politics, religion, community, and military affairs are all combined.  Mohammad used mosques as a place for the community to gather and learn about Islam.  It was a place to store food, water, weapons, and ammunition.  It was a place where jihadis lived and trained.  It was also the place where battles were planned and the place from which battles were launched.  So, thats what a mosque is.

Muslims slaughter sheep in apt complex parking lot, no charges filed.  A religious slaughter of a sheep in town Friday [9/9/2017] morning led Bismarck Police to request an opinion for future, similar matters.  Lt. Steven Scheuer said officers, including animal control, responded to a report of a sheep being killed in a common parking area for apartments on the 2500 block of North Eighth Street.  Police spoke with the man and woman there who were performing a ceremony in accordance with their Muslim faith, according to Scheuer.  The couple will not face charges, but police sent the report to the Bismarck city attorney's office for guidance, Scheuer said.

Yemeni Muslims Suing KFC for Serving Bacon.  A Muslim couple from Dearborn is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken for having recently been served bacon on a chicken sandwiches.  An unspecified amount of damages are being sought by the couple, who purchased the sandwiches at a Lincoln Park KFC.  They allege cheese and bacon were added to the sandwiches after they requested cheese only, according to a Detroit Free Press report.  In May, a Dearborn man of Muslim faith sued Little Caesars for $100 million after he was allegedly served and then accidentally ate pepperoni made with pork, a food prohibited by Islamic law.  The boxes were labeled "halal," but the pies inside were topped with regular pepperoni.

Civilization Jihad, Propaganda, and Ignorance.  The heads of state of all 56 muslim nations on earth are party to the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), which approved the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights on Islam and served it to the United Nations in 1993.  The Cairo Declaration officially states the Islamic world legally defines "Human Rights" as the imposition of sharia on the entire world.  Therefore, the leaders of all Islamic nations on earth have the same understanding of human rights as ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Hair salon inside Walmart bans men while helping Muslim customer.  A woman no longer has a job after her manager found out she temporarily asked men not to enter a Taylor [Michigan] hair salon while she helped a Muslim customer.  The woman, who was not identifed, left her job about a week after the incident took place.  The salon's corporate office said she had already issued notice she was leaving before the incident took place.  Photos of a sign on the window at SmartStyle Family Hair Salon, 7555 Telegraph Road, asked for "no men please," without further explanation.

Kellogg's, Sanitarium and Nestle quietly stop paying halal certification fees in Australia.  Two of Australia's biggest breakfast cereal makers are no longer paying third-party companies to declare their products are fit for Muslims to eat.  Kellogg's and Sanitarium have declared there is no need to pay an Islamic business or charity to declare their products contain no pork or alcohol products.  Nestle no longer has halal certification applied to its chocolate bars, including Kit Kat, unlike its rival Cadbury.

Sharing Sharia.  Mairaj Syed, an assistant professor of Religious Studies at UC Davis, explained that Sharia law can "differ from person to person," because of differing interpretations of the Quran.  Sharia "kind of regulates behavior," but honor killings and child marriages were examples of "outdated and extremist forms of Islam."  For Syed, ACT was ascribing such acts to "all Muslims at all times."  Davis musician Gabe Lewin wondered "what is controversial about being anti-Sharia law?"  This law, "demands the death penalty for apostasy, blasphemy, sorcery and adultery.  As a liberal person who believes in freedom of and from religion, I oppose this."  Lewin also expected, "any person of any faith to agree that this law is wrong anywhere in the universe."  Yes, Lewin wrote, "we should 'co-exist' so long as that does not mean tolerating this form of violence and persecution of homosexuals and depriving women of basic human rights!  As an ardent liberal I strongly believe this."

Christian Slapped with $12,000 'Shariah Fine' for Not Removing Shoes.  John Alabi, 53, is a Christian and a landlord who lives in the Toronto area and is being ordered to pay a fine of $12,000 by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal because he failed to remove his shoes when he entered the apartment he was renting to a Muslim couple.  His crime?  Religious discrimination, according to the tribunal.  The tenants were planning to move out of his rental home, and he says he gave the couple the required 24-hours notice that he would be showing the apartment to another tenant.  They told him not to come while they were praying, and to text first.  He agreed.  But when they stopped answering his text messages, he showed the apartment.

Tolerating the Intolerant:  The Tipping Point of Multiculturalism.  Islam is an issue for America now in the time of President Donald Trump because former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush rebranded Islam as a religion of peace.  Islam is not a religion of peace like Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, or Judaism.  Islam is a unified socio-political system with a militarized wing, an educational wing, a religious wing, and enormous oil wealth.  Islam is governed exclusively by religious sharia law.  There is no separation of Church and State in Islam.  The goal of Islam since the 7th century is the transformation of the world into an Islamic caliphate ruled by religious sharia law.  Islam is tyrannical in its demand for conformity to its barbaric sharia laws.  Islam is intolerant and recognizes sharia law exclusively.  Islam is a socio-political movement seeking world dominion not a religion of peace.  Islam is a threat to American democracy.

New German Law:  Fines Up to $57 Million for Social Media Thought Crime.  Defeating the Wehrmacht was hard enough.  Rooting out the authoritarian mentality that gave birth to it does not seem possible.  Possibly as part of its campaign to crush resistance to Islamization, Germany has declared war on social media.

British Police Just Imprisoned A Man For Posting Mean Things About Muslims On Facebook.  A man who posted what authorities deemed "hateful" things about Muslims on Facebook is facing eight counts more than a year in prison in Sussex, a coastal county in southeast England, United Kingdom.  "The charges brought in this case are extremely serious and were only brought against four people in England and Wales during 2016," said Sussex Police Hate Crime Sergeant Peter Allan (because apparently "Hate Crime Sergeant" is a real, taxpayer-funded, paid position in 2017 Great Britain).  "Nigel Pelham used Facebook to express some truly offensive views, with no understanding of how serious his actions were."

Sharia UK: Two Arrested for Burning Qur'ans.  The UK's Mailonline reported the horrifying news Thursday:  "Police have arrested two people on suspicion of racial hatred after a video appeared online showing a man burning a copy of the Koran."  Well, that's a relief.  The British police are to be congratulated, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude, for getting riffraff like this off the streets and into jail where they belong, before more innocent Qur'ans are harmed.  After all, twenty-two people were recently murdered in Manchester and seven in London by Islamic jihadis who were incited to violence by the Qur'an, but look!  The "far-right" is just as much of a threat as the jihadis, as Britain's "counter-extremism" Quilliam Foundation claims!  Two Qur'ans were burned!

The Real Reason Americans Protest Sharia Law.  ACT for America, a national security grassroots organization, held "March Against Sharia Law" events on June 10 in more than a dozen cities across the U.S. The marches were "in memory and support of victims of FGM (female genital mutilation), honor killings, and violence toward the LGBTQ community in the name of religion, culture or foreign law," according to ACT for America's website.  Yet a Washington Post article insisted on describing the participants as "anti-Muslim activists" and said there were two white supremacist groups who participated in the rallies.  NBCnews.com also stated the rallies were "projected to be ACT for America's largest protest against Islam."

Muslim Doctors Refuse To Help Dying Christian Man In Desperate Need Of Medical Attention.  A young Christian man became very sick and had to go to the hospital.  He was dying of suffocation and may have been able to be saved, but the Muslim doctors at the hospital refused to help him.  Their answer was that because he man was a sanitation worker and a Christian, his body was "dirty," and they did not want to make themselves ritually impure for Ramadan, so they let him die instead.

What is Sharia?  [Scroll down]  Furthermore, every verse in the Koran has been legally defined in the Tafsir.  The most authoritative Tafsir scholar in Islam is a man named Ibn Kathir.  For instance, the Tafsir defines a portion of verse 9:5 above as follows:  "This is the Ayah (verse) of the sword... 'and capture them' (means) executing some and keeping some as prisoners... 'and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush' (means) do not wait until you find them.  Rather, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in the various roads and fairways so that what is made wide looks ever smaller to them.  This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam."

Muslim man sues Little Caesars for $100M over pork on pizza.  A Muslim man is suing Little Caesars for $100 million in Michigan, claiming he was served pepperoni made with pork, which is a food prohibited by Islamic law.  CBS Detroit reports Mohamad Bazzi says he ordered halal pizza twice from a pizza shop in Schaefer in Dearborn.  He claims the boxes were labeled "halal," but the pizzas inside were topped with regular pepperoni.

New Jersey governor refuses to ban child marriage because 'it would conflict with religious customs'.  A high profile Republican governor has declined to sign into law, a measure that would have made his state the first to ban child marriage without exception.  Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey and someone who has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, said such a ban would conflict with religious customs.  He did not specify what religions he was referring to.  Reuters said underage marriage is widespread in the US, where about 170,000 children were wed between 2000 and 2010 in 38 of the 50 states where data was available.

Canada: Landlord who didn't remove shoes must pay Muslim couple $12,000.  [T]he small landlord who rented out the main floor of his Brampton home to an Arab Muslim couple must pay them $12,000 for failing to accommodate their religious practices when showing their apartment to prospective tenants.  The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario also found that he "harassed them and created a poisoned housing environment."  His sins?  John Alabi refused to remove his shoes when showing the bedroom where the couple prayed and while he always gave them the mandated 24-hour notice before showings, he didn't always provide the five-minute heads-up they'd requested to ensure the wife was modestly dressed and they weren't in the midst of their five daily prayers.

New York State Democrat Assemblyman introduces a bill requiring "Halal Compliant" lunches for public schools.  Don't you find it interesting that such a bill has NEVER before been proposed for Kosher lunches in New York City schools, even though Jewish students make up a vastly larger percentage of the student population than Muslims do?  Whatever happened to bringing a bag lunch when you don't like what's on the menu?

Genital Mutilation Charges Spark Bill to Keep Foreign Laws Out of Michigan Courts.  Rep. Michele Hoitenga (R) said that the story of a Detroit-area doctor being charged with genital mutilation of young girls motivated her to sponsor a proposal that would ban the use of foreign countries' laws in Michigan courtrooms.  Although House Bill 4499 does not mention it by name, Hoitenga also wrote in an email to her colleagues that Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, who faces federal charges of genital mutilation, was "practicing a fundamental version of Sharia Law."

Some Arguments for Muslim Religious Liberty Are More Compelling than Others.  [Scroll down]  Religious liberty as guaranteed by the Constitution has never been construed to mean that the members of any particular religion are exempt from the governing laws of the nation.  Faith doesn't grant anyone the constitutional right to beat their wife, abuse their children, or stone heretics.  It doesn't grant anyone the constitutional right to force other adults to join or belong to any religious, political, or social organization against their will.  There are, in other words, existing, constitutionally valid laws that restrict or prevent the adherents of Sharia law from imposing it on unwilling others.  Yet not all arguments for religious liberty are equally persuasive, and many advocates of Muslim religious liberty do more harm than good by misunderstanding both the reality of religious belief and the increasing public impatience with political correctness.

German Government Rejects Calls for Islam Law.  Members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right Christian Democratic Union party have called for a ban on foreign funding of Islamic organizations, and for Muslims to get statutory rights to pastoral care from an imam in prisons and hospitals.

The Muslim Brotherhood is making it impossible to criticise Islam, government report admits.  The Muslim Brotherhood is creating a 'parallel social structure' in Sweden with the help of 'political elites' who foster a culture of silence, a damning government report has found.  The document claims that the Brotherhood is building a 'parallel society' within the Scandinavian country, which can help the Islamist group to achieve its ends.  Founded in 1826, the Muslim Brotherhood aims to organise Muslims politically in order to create a global, Sunni Islamic Caliphate.

Criticizing Sharia is 'hate speech,' Georgetown students say.  Georgetown students protested a speech by Nonie Darwish, a Muslim woman who grew up in Egypt but fled for the U.S. and Christianity, becoming an outspoken critic of Sharia.  Calling Darwish "Islamophobic," students demanded that her "hate speech" be censored, including the secretary of the GU College Republicans, who resigned in protest.

Michigan: CAIR shakes down Dept of Corrections over sharia meals.  A Muslim civil liberties organization has settled its lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections on behalf of inmates allegedly denied adequate nutrition during the annual month-long Ramadan fast.  The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) filed the suit in 2013 after four Muslim inmates said they received as little as one-third of the recommended daily calories in Ramadan 2011 and 2012.  The inmates were serving sentences at four correctional facilities:  Saginaw, Newberry, Parnall in Jackson, and Alger, located in Wetmore.  The plaintiffs said they often received meals containing inedible food or less than what was set forth on the Ramadan menu.  The morning meal also frequently was served after sunrise, precluding them from consuming the meal in accordance with the strictures of Ramadan observance.

Why Sharia Is A Problem For Western Democracy.  This series is for Westerners who may not know much about Islam, but who wonder why it seems to lead members of its faith into violence against the West in numbers unseen among adherents of other faiths.  It turns out that the structure of Islam's legal philosophy, shariah, is a driving force.  The most obvious readings of Islamic law, the readings of the Koran and the other core writings of the faith that is most direct and literal, sets those who come to believe deeply in the faith on a collision course with secular democracies of the type that the West has built since the Enlightenment.  This series will explain why.

'Sharia patrol' organised by Muslim preacher ordering people to stop drinking or listening to music is backed by German courts.  A group of Islamists did not break the law when they formed 'sharia police' street patrols, telling people to stop drinking, gambling and listening to music, a German court has ruled.  The ultra-conservative group, formed by German convert Sven Lau, sparked outrage in 2014 when it held patrols in the western city of Wuppertal in 2014.  They wore orange vests bearing the words 'Sharia Police'.

Florida Announces Complete Ban On Sharia Law.  Florida is fighting back against the push to institute Sharia Law in the United States.  Islamists, who do not believe that they are fighting the Battle of Armagheddon, as many ISIS members believe, know that when the dust settles, somebody will be in charge.  Their hope, is that it will be them, and that the rule of law will be Sharia.  To be clear, an Islamist is a seperate category from a moderate Muslim who wishes to live side by side with other religions.  They are a categorized as believing in the missions of the jihadists, but believe in infiltrating the political systems of other countries to lawfully subvert the rule of law into Sharia Law.

Judgment Entered Against Wayne County Sheriffs for Violating Christians' Free Speech Rights.  Today [9/28/2016], a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan entered final judgment in favor of a group of Christian evangelists who were violently attacked by a hostile Muslim mob while preaching at the Arab Festival in Dearborn, Michigan in 2012.  The case, Bible Believers v.  Wayne County, was brought by the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) on behalf of the Christians.  As a result of this judgment, Wayne County agreed to pay $197,500 in attorneys' fees and costs.  This judgment brings to a conclusion the lengthy and hard fought litigation in this matter — litigation which included a full court (en banc) review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Michigan: County to Pay $197k for Violating Christians' Rights, Defending Violent Muslim Mobs.  To our knowledge, not one of the violent Muslim attackers was arrested or charged.

Halal-slaughtered animals are 'dying in agony' because of 'Muslim ignorance' over pre-slaughter stunning, say experts.  Animals are dying in unnecessary agony because of a lack of understanding over how stunning stops them feeling pain when their throats are cut, research shows.  In conventional slaughterhouses, cows, sheep and chicken are stunned, usually with an electric shock, to ensure they are unconscious before their throats are cut.  This minimises suffering but in a number of Muslim abattoirs the animals are not stunned over fears it is not permissible, or 'halal'.

Boone County Jail adopts halal meal plan after RFRA lawsuit.  The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is dismissing its religious freedom lawsuit against the Boone County Sheriff's Office after the county jail implemented plans to offer inmates the option of a halal diet.  The ACLU in August employed the state's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act in a complaint that alleged staff at the Boone County Jail violated the rights of a Muslim inmate when they refused to supply him with food that adheres to a halal diet, which excludes pork and includes other meat only if it is slaughtered under certain conditions.  The suit also alleged the sheriff's office violated the First Amendment rights of the inmate, Gannon Thomas.  It was among early uses of the state's religious freedom law, which Gov. Mike Pence signed in 2015 amid controversy that placed the state in the national spotlight because some opponents believed it could be twisted to discriminate against gay and lesbian Hoosiers.  Experts, though, said this suit represents the type of claim such laws are meant to address.

Somali Americans want Sharia Law.  Filmmaker Ami Horowitz was alarmed by the growing number of Somali Americans living in Minneapolis who have joined up with the Islamist-terror groups ISIS and al-Shabaab.  So he recently traveled to that city to speak with members of the community about how much American values resonated with them, their feelings about sharia law and terrorism, and whether they'd prefer to live in Somalia or America.  Their answers were revealing.  [Video clip]

Shariah Law vs. the Constitution.  This excellent comparison of the two shows they are totally incompatible.

Plot to shut down Sharia Law courts in Britain as protesters call them 'discriminatory'.  Thousands of people have signed a petition against Sharia in the UK as hundreds of human rights organisations boycott a "biased" Government inquiry.

Mandatory music classes hit a bad note with some Muslim parents.  When music class begins this week at Toronto's Donwood Park elementary school, Mohammad Nouman Dasu will send a family member to collect his three young children.  They will go home for an hour rather than sing and play instruments — a mandatory part of the Ontario curriculum he believes violates his Muslim faith.  The Scarborough school and the Toronto District School Board originally had offered an accommodation — suggesting students could just clap their hands in place of playing instruments or listen to acapella versions of O Canada — but not a full exemption from the class.  After a bitter three-year fight, however, Mr. Dasu felt he had no other opton but to bring his kids home.

Iran shutters 800 clothing stores over 'inappropriate' attire.  Iran's state TV says police have shut down more than 800 clothing stores across the country for selling "unconventional and inappropriate" attire — believed to mean Western-style outfits and women's clothing that doesn't meet strict Islamic requirements.

Compulsory attendance at government schools is taken very seriously in some parts of the world.
7 Executed in Iraq for Not Sending Their Children to ISIS Schools.  The Islamic State group is said to have recently executed seven people in its Iraqi stronghold of Mosul, after they apparently refused to send their children to schools run by the extremist group. [...] Around the same time, Isis militants also executed a man in Syria after he was caught wearing women's clothes.

Lesbian CNN commentator all in for sharia.  So Sally Kohn thinks a subset of Muslims who call themselves "progressive Muslims" believe in Sharia.  And apparently that's a good thing.  (I wonder what part of sharia law is her favorite.  Burqas, stoning, or throwing homosexuals off of rooftops?)  That's how far gone the brains of leftists have become, marinated such as they are in a slop of lies, misinformation, and a worldview disconnected from reality.  I don't care what descriptor comes before the word "Muslim." If a person believes in Sharia, they do not believe in liberty.  Certainly a female and a member of the LGBT community should be alert to that fact since women and homosexuals don't fare too well under the Sharia.  To put it mildly.

Not in my courtroom — judge throws out case after woman refuses to remove headscarf.  A JUDGE has refused to hear a case because one of the participants refused to take off her hijab in court.  Rania El-Alloul was attending a hearing trying to recover a car seized by police when her 21-year-old son was caught behind the wheel with a suspended driving licence.  Judge Eliana Marengo asked her to remove her headscarf before the proceedings got under way but she refused.  The judge told her:  "The courtroom is a secular place and you are not suitably dressed."

If we can't ban halal meat, we should at least let people know when they're buying it.  The UK now carries out more halal slaughter than the rest of Europe.  Most of us eat halal meat unwittingly on a daily basis, since it is sold in most major outlets, including big brand-name supermarkets, without being labelled as such.

Iran's Western crackdown:  Morality police raid clothes shops in ban of un-Islamic clothing.  Shops selling un-Islamic clothes have been raided and shut down as morality police step up brutal patrols in Iran.  The crackdown on Western outfits in the Islamic Republic has seen factories and shops being targeted — and comes after a leading cleric bizarrely accused the fashion of causing rivers to run dry.  At least 15 women's clothes shops have been closed down by morality police in Hamedan in a renewed drive to wipe out improper clothing.

Sell alcohol and pork or we will shut you down, French town tells halal supermarket.  A halal supermarket in a Paris suburb has been told by local authorities it must start selling alcohol and pork or else it will be shut down.  Good Price discount mini-market in Colombes has been told by the local housing authority, from which it rents its premises, that it has not followed the conditions on the lease that stipulate that the shop must act as a "general food store."

Creeping Sharia in Health Care.  [H]ospitals across the country are implementing an array of services for Muslim patients, including halal meals, alternatives to medications that contain alcohol and/or pork derivatives, gowns for women designed to protect their modesty, early morning and late night appointments during the month of Ramadan, hiring more Muslim chaplains, handing out Qurans to the parents of Muslim children after they're born, providing prayer rugs, hosting Iftar events, and setting up prayers rooms exclusively for Muslims who often find existing multi-faith prayers rooms offensive and/or inconvenient. [...] The Muslim-as-victim meme rears its head as well, such as the idea that Muslims "don't have access" to healthcare, as was recently asserted by the vice president of cultural competence at a medical center in Brooklyn, NY.

America absolutely must fear sharia law and it's time people knew why.  The site shouldamericafearsharia.org consists mostly of links to videos discussing different topics about Islam and Islamic extremism.  The home page urges visitors to sign a petition to ban Sharia Law in the United States.  That roving gang of Somali refugee youths in an upscale suburb of Minnesota two weeks ago told a homeowner that they could kidnap and rape her because Sharia law said they could.  In the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, the Center's executive vice president Jim Hanson called the attack, "completely in keeping with totalitarian Islamic code called Shariah."

Hillary's coterie of anti-Semites.  [Scroll down]  Keith Ellison is the American face of stealth Jihad and another "first" phenomenon on two counts.  He is the first black and the first Muslim congressman from Minnesota.  Keith is also a converso, a former Catholic, like Lew Alcindor, converted to Islam when black rage and Islam was hip.  Congressman Ellison is most famous for taking his oath of office from Nancy Pelosi in Washington on a Koran.  Ellison has been cagey about his conversion, but his ties to the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan are matters of record.  He has written in support of Farrakhan on more than one occasion under a pseudonym.  Ellison also has extensive personal, political, and financial ties to the American Muslim jihad net through such organizations as Council on American Islamic Relations, Muslim American Society, Islamic Society of North America, Muslim public Affairs Council, North American Imams Federation, and the notorious Saudi funded American Open University in Virginia, a kind of seminary for Muslim clerics.  Former AOU chairman Ja'far Sheikh Idris considers American democracy to be "the antithesis of Islam."  He also claims that no one "can be a Muslim who makes or freely accepts or believes that anyone has the right to make or accept legislation that is contrary to divine (Islamic) law."

Pakistan: Muslim Clerics Declare Transgender Marriages Valid.  A group of influential Muslim clerics in Pakistan have issued a religious decree (fatwa) stating that transgender people have full marriage, inheritance and funeral rights under Islamic law, though they may only marry those of the opposite biological sex.  The ruling suggests that sharia law allows biological males to marry biological females regardless how they choose to dress.  "It is permissible for a transgender person with male indications on his body to marry a transgender person with female indications on her body," the decree states.

Ex-Terrorism Prosecutor:  Redacting 911 Calls Shows Obama Administration 'Is Becoming Sharia-Adherent'.  In commenting on why the Obama administration initially had decided to release redacted portions of the 911 telephone calls made by the radical Islamic terrorist who killed 49 people at an Orlando night club, columnist, author, and former terrorism prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy said it was because the government "is becoming Sharia-adherent."  Sharia is the Islamic law that many Muslims (and governments) throughout the world follow, and it is based on the teachings in the Quran.  On Monday's [6/20/2016] Bretibart News Daily (SiriusXM), host Stephen K. Bannon asked McCarthy, "The attorney general went on NBC yesterday and she said she's redacting the audio of the assailant in Orlando to take out his call to jihad, his pledge to the Islamic State.  Did you buy her reason?  Or do you think it shows our government is starting to become Sharia-adherent or Sharia-compliant?

New Wave of Muslims Loyal to Sharia.  An Afghanistan immigrant warns against Sharia Law and the new refugees who will never accept American law.

Afghanistan Migration Surging into America; 99% Support Sharia Law.  Law enforcement sources have identified the gunman in the Orlando terror attack as Omar Mateen, the child of Afghan migrants, according to CBS News.  Between 2001 and 2013, the U.S. permanently resettled nearly 30,000 Afghan migrants on green cards.  According to Pew, nearly all Muslims in Afghanistan (99%) support sharia law as official law.  As legal immigrants, these migrants will be granted lifetime resettlement privileges will be given automatic work permits, welfare access, and the ability to become voting citizens.

In Sharia-Ruled Iran, Muslims Are Willing To Risk Corporal Punishment For A Slice Of Bacon.  The demand for bacon, and by extension freedom, has created a large underground market in Iran, despite severe consequences if caught.  Pork meat and alcohol are illegal products for Muslims to consume in Iran.  The Christian minority — made up of about 300,000 Armenians and Assyrians — can buy pork in certain stores.  But for Muslims, the consequences can be severe if they are caught with a slice of bacon in their mouths.  "If you get caught by the modesty patrol, the religious police, you face fines, potentially corporal punishment," Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Texas: Muslim convict demands sharia, court agrees.  Texas prison officials cannot prohibit Muslim inmates from growing a beard up to four inches long or from donning religious head wear, a federal appeals court has ruled.  David Rasheed Ali, serving concurrent 20-year sentences for arson and aggravated robbery, filed suit seven years ago arguing that the tenets of his religion required him to wear a beard and a kufi, a knit skullcap.  When Ali sued, prison policy required inmates to be clean shaven, although those with skin conditions could grow a quarter-inch beard.  Last year, however, Texas began allowing inmates to grow a half-inch beard as part of their religious practice after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prisoners had a right to wear facial hair to express their faith.

Nearly a quarter of Muslims support areas of UK being run under sharia law.  British Muslims disagree with the rest of the country on a range of key issues such as sexuality, freedom of speech and polygamy, according to new research.  A poll carried out by ICM discovered that more than half of Muslims disagree with homosexuality being legal in Britain, while a quarter support Sharia law being introduced into parts of the country instead of British law.

Muslims in NYC Say Sharia Law Supersedes the U.S. Constitution.  Unfortunately Faux News' Hannity didn't let the on-the-street videos speak for themselves and followed it up with apologists.  There will be no reformation of Islam.  The only valid option is banning Muslims because as the video demonstrates clearly, many Muslims have no intention of fulfilling their Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America and likely lied when taking it: [...]

Are you living near a Muslim NO-GO Zone in America?  Not yet?  Give it a little time.  Former CIA counter-intelligence operative, Clare Lopez, vice president of the Center for Security Policy and national security adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign, told a Minnesota radio program that parts of Minneapolis have become sharia-compliant "no-go zones where the police dare not go."

Do Radicalized Islamic Communities Exist in the US?  GOP presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz's call for patrolling of Muslim communities with signs of extremism is being bashed as pandering to anti-Muslim voters, with critics saying there aren't even Islamist communities in the U.S.  to begin with.  They are wrong.  They exist — and newly-published documents show that they've boasted of enforcing Islamic sharia law, even going so far as to whip children.  Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani militant group that has rebranded itself as Muslims of the Americas, says it has 22 "Islamic villages" in the U.S.  Its "Islamberg" headquarters in New York is the most well-known.

'Sharia Friendly' Social Networks For Muslims Are On The Rise.  A month ago, while attending the Startup Turkey conference in Antalya, I had the chance to talk to Shoaib Fadie, CEO and co-founder of the social networking platform Muslimface.  He was there to pitch to potential investors his website, which, in addition to social networking also offers prayer times, job postings, a tool to locate the nearest mosque, a 'find your spouse' feature, and much more.

Tennessee: Proposed School Voucher Program — Teaching Kids to Hate Infidels.  [Scroll down]  For the third time the legislature has not passed this bill.  So, it seems the will of the people is not to use their tax dollars to send children to private schools.  Maybe there's a good reason. [...] Had the school voucher bill passed in Tennessee, Anoor Academy (Knoxville), Pleasant View School (Memphis) and Nashville International Academy (Nashville), would have been eligible to receive voucher money.  All three are private Islamic schools.  All three are accredited by AdvancED, a regional accrediting organization.  Once they are accredited these schools get classified as "Category III" under the Tennessee State Board of Education rules.  Category III schools were eligible for vouchers under the proposed school voucher bill.  In 2013, Anoor Academy's promo video showed a row of the textbook What Islam Is All About.  This book denigrates Jews and Christians and teaches that the warlord Muhammed is the perfect example to follow.  It also states that "there is no separation of Masjid and state," that "Muslims dream of establishing the power of Islam in the world," and that living under sharia law is the preferred state for all humankind.

Hungary says [there are] 900 'no-go areas' in Europe.  Europe has more than 900 "no-go areas" with large immigrant populations, Hungary's government claims on a hard-hitting new website aimed at drumming up opposition to an EU scheme to share out migrants around the bloc.  In these areas "with a high number of immigrants", for example in Paris, London, Stockholm or Berlin, the authorities have "little or no control" and "norms of the host society barely prevail," the site says.

Man arrested for tweeting about Muslims.  A British man has been charged with using social media to incite racial hatred after posting anti-Muslim tweets in the days after the Brussels attacks.

Texas Bans Sharia Law.  Dozens of Muslims in Irving are upset after the city council passed a resolution in support of a new state house bill some Muslims believe targets their faith.  Council members voted Thursday night on a resolution that support Texas HB 562, which forbids the use of foreign law and codifies the supremacy of U.S. and state law.  "I think it's the most disgraceful day in the city of Irving," said Omar Suleiman, an Irving resident who is Muslim.  "The elephant in the room is that it's the anti-Shariah bill."

Sharia in Denmark : Documentary investigates claims that imams are working towards keeping parallel societies for Muslims.  The documentary consists of an undercover investigation into claims that Muslim imams are working towards keeping parallel societies for Muslims within Denmark.  The filmmakers had two young Muslims — brought from outside Denmark — go undercover in Gellerupparken, an area best described as a predominantly Muslim ghetto in Aarhus, Denmark's second city.  For three months, the two lived as a fictitious couple, Fatma and Muhammed, while visiting eight different mosques in Aarhus, Odense and Copenhagen — the three largest cities in Denmark — with hidden cameras.  The goal was to hear what imams say behind closed doors about Danish law and authorities, gender equality and general contact with Danish society, such as Muslim women participating in the Danish job market.

Death By Halal : Slow and agonizing — just the way Muslims like it.  In Halal Islamic slaughter, Muslims don't sever the spinal cord which means the animal suffers in agony until it bleeds out and dies.  Muslims believe the suffering makes the meat taste better.

You can bet that if Catholics or Jews or Mormons were torturing animals for religious reasons, the animal rights activists in the U.S. would be marching in protest.  But as long as the Muslims are involved, the activists are all totally silent.

German Cafes Stop Selling Pork Sausages to Spare the Feelings of Muslim "Refugees".  It's always the same thing: non-Muslims must change their behavior and adapt their culture to suit Muslims. Muslims are never expected to adapt to the mores of their host culture.  And so where will this end?  Will Germany surrender completely and become a sharia state?  Or at a certain point will Germans say they have had enough?  Because of their horrific history of genocide and hatred, many Germans will never say "Enough" even to the point of taking peaceful steps to stop this invasion — they would rather commit national suicide.  And that is exactly what they are doing.

Hijabs For Hospital Patients: NHS Trust Introduces 'Multi-Faith Dignity Gowns'.  A British National Health Service (NHS) hospital trust has developed official hijabs which they call "multi-faith dignity gowns" to protect the "modesty" of patients, after local Muslims apparently complained about standard hospital gowns.  The hijabs, which can also function as niqab due to its inbuilt facemask, are now being offered at two NHS hospitals, the Royal Bournemouth, and Christchurch Hospitals (RBCH), as Muslim women said the traditional gowns made them "uncomfortable".

The Editor says...
If the hospital makes you uncomfortable, don't go there!  You know what makes me uncomfortable?  People who would fly an airliner into an office building if they had the chance, just to score points with Allah.

Schleswig-Holstein CDU fights to keep pork on canteen menus.  The regional arm of Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU announced plans on Tuesday [3/1/2016] to ensure that pork continues to be available at public canteens, as well as child daycare centers and schools across the north German state.  The proposal is due to be presented by the CDU's group in parliament at next week's regional parliamentary session.  CDU parliamentary group leader, Daniel Günther, bemoaned on Tuesday [3/1/2016] that an increasing number of canteens, nurseries and schools are removing pork from their menu due to religious considerations.

18 people caned in Aceh for gambling, dating and consuming liquor.  The Banda Aceh Prosecutor's Office held a public caning on Tuesday [3/1/2016] to punish 18 people for having violated Aceh's Islamic bylaws, locally known as Qanun.  The 10 convicts who had been caught gambling received a sentence of eight strokes, previously reduced by two strokes due to a detention period, six convicts received 40 strokes for consuming liquor and two were punished for dating.

Iran rules 'decadent' Valentine's Day celebrations a crime.  Iranian news outlets reported the police directive Friday [2/12/2016] warning retailers against promoting "decadent Western culture through Valentine's Day rituals."

Here's the Deal about Sharia Law.  Most Americans, including myself, do no care a whit if Islamic people have their churches and attend them.  Most of us do not give them a second glance on the street.  So long as those Churches are not places of ideological indoctrination against the US, against Christianity, against other religions, and against our Constitution.  The problem is... many of them are just that.  And why?  Because the underlying teaching of Sharia Law teaches principles that indoctrinate against the US, against Christianity, against other religions, and against our Constitution.  Its very basis is rooted in the idea that God's Law is Sharia Law and that mankind must either adopt it or bow down to it in this life.  That set of laws extends to rules, regulations, and practices at the secular level, Mr. President, and not only spiritually, but physically forces compliance amongst the adherents, and the desire to spread that adherence to all people.  That compulsion regarding dress codes, legal matters, lands, property, gender behavior, etc., etc. is abjectly anti-Constitutional, ant-Bill of rights, and completely incompatible with the most fundamental, foundational principles that America is built upon. [...] [I]f Sharia Law is taught in a Mosque, then that Mosque should no longer be considered a church under the law.  It becomes a place of political indoctrination, wholly incompatible with and subversive to the US Constitution.

South Carolina House Passes Bill Excluding Sharia Law From State Courts.  The South Carolina House has passed a bill blocking Islamic sharia law from being recognized or approved in the state, after years of debate over similar legislation.  The legislation voted upon was explained as "A bill to amend the code of laws of South Carolina ... so as to prevent a court or other enforcement authority from enforcing foreign law including, but not limited to, Sharia Law in this state from a forum outside of the United States or its territories under certain circumstances."

Why Sharia Is Incompatible with American Values.  You and I don't like sharia, while hundreds of millions love it. [...] It's time to go deeper and figure out what's happening in us that makes us recoil at it.  ISIS and many Islamic nations believe, because original Islam teaches, the following:
  •   Mosque and state are not separate.
  •   Apostasy, or leaving Islam, is outlawed up to the penalty of death.
  •   Speaking against Islam is outlawed up to the penalty of death.
  •   Jihad or qital (military war only) to force conversions or submit to a tax is allowed.
  •   Having sex with female prisoners of war is allowed.
  •   Drinkers and gamblers may be flogged.
  •   Adulterers and fornicators may be flogged (and adulterers may be stoned to death).
  •   Bearing false witness about sexual sin (a "crime" in Islam) can incur flogging.
  •   Homosexuals may be flogged or executed.
  •   A woman inherits half of what a man does.
  •   Domestic violence is allowed.
  •   A woman's testimony counts as half of a man's testimony.
  •   A man may divorce his wife by pronouncing three times "you are divorced" outside a court of law, and the divorce is legal and final.

Colorado school district requires girls to cover ankles, wear head scarves on trip to mosque.  A world religions class is taking a field trip to a Denver mosque and the school is requiring girls to dress in what is described as a Sharia-complaint manner.  KNUS radio host Peter Boyles reports the Douglas County school system issued these rules to students in a notification to parents: [...] "Public schools are forbidden from holding girls to different standards than boys," Boyles notes.  "They're holding these girls to a different standard — it's a religious reason.  "Islam dictates many, I believe — personal belief — repressive practices against women and Islamophobia will trump womens' rights.  Animal rights every time, and the environment."

First City in America to be Muslim-majority; can Sharia law be far behind?  In November, the blue-collar city that has been home to Polish Catholic immigrants and their descendents for more than a century became what demographers think is the first jurisdiction in the nation to elect a majority-Muslim council.  It's the second tipping for Hamtramck, which in 2013 earned the distinction of becoming what appears to be the first majority-Muslim city in the United States following the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Yemen, Bangladesh and Bosnia over a decade.  The once-thriving factory town now struggles with one of the highest poverty rates in Michigan.

Muslim Women Must Be Emancipated.  [Scroll down]  The purpose of the Cox bill is to restrict the powers of sharia courts, now estimated to number 85 in the UK, and sometimes referred to as sharia councils, to help vulnerable women who need protection from exploitation and to end gender discrimination by Muslims.  It addresses the problem of religiously sanctioned gender discrimination.  The second issue is to question the growth of an alternative Islamic quasi-legal system that undermines the fundamental principle of one law for all.  The disapproval of sharia law results from the reality that it condones domestic violence and physical abuse against women, and that it undermines equal rights and protection under the law.  Under sharia law, the process of halala allows a man to divorce his wife by uttering the words "I divorce you," three times, divorce can be had by mail, and polygamy to the extent of four wives is allowed.  Women are handicapped on issues of child custody, inheritance provisions, and rules of evidence in trials as women's testimony accounts for only half that of men.

New in America: Not Muslim, No Taxi.  Islamic taxi drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are refusing passengers carrying alcohol and blind folks with seeing-eye dogs because the animals' saliva is sacrilege according to Sharia law.  The enterprising Muslims during the past year have stranded 100 passengers a month, sometimes for more than an hour, according to the Metropolitan Airports Commission, since three-fourths of the 900 taxi drivers servicing the airport are Somali Muslims who have decided to participate in the new discipline. [...] What if Islamic drivers deny the right of transportation to women wearing short skirts, robed priests and rabbis, or homosexual couples, as indeed has happened in Minneapolis?  And what to do should conductors, pilots, and stewards on trains and planes insist they should not transport unveiled women or serve alcohol.  How far off is the day when emboldened imams in neighborhoods where American Muslims are in the majority, such Dearborn, Mich., demand the broadcasting of the calls to prayer over loudspeakers at dawn and at other times.  Farfetched?  Not at all.

Shariah: A unique form of religious law.  One of the most misunderstood aspects of studying Jihad and Islam is the role of Shariah law.  This is largely because so much misinformation about Shariah has been disseminated by Muslim Brotherhood front groups, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Students Association and, especially, the Islamic Circle of North America here in the U.S.  Many Westerners, even pastors, priests and rabbis, assume that Shariah is similar to Christian canon law or Jewish rabbinical law.  That just isn't true at all.  First of all, Shariah covers virtually all aspects of life for a Muslim, whether the aspect at hand is a religious issue or not.  Whereas canon law and rabbinical law primarily cover religious issues and ecclesiastical issues, Shariah covers issues of criminal punishment, civil justice, economics/finance and war, in addition to purely ecclesiastical matters.

ISIS sets rules for raping captive women.  Most of what the terrorist army of ISIS has done in its murderous march across a wide swath of the Mideast these last two years appears incomprehensible to outside eyes:  video beheadings, mass street killings, children enlisted to execute neighbors, victims tossed from tall buildings.  Now one document from a stash seized during a bold Special Ops raid into Syria seven months ago has provided a shocking window into the medieval minds of these radical Islamic extremists who would impose harsh Sharia law wherever their caliphate spreads.  Hard to believe we're reading such material in what to most of the world is the 21st century.

Muslim Supremacists Won't Take No For An Answer.  Two months after asking Columbus' mayor and police chief to reconsider the head-scarf ban for female Muslim police-officer candidates, a local lawyer is asking again for the city to re-evaluate its policy.  (The ban is in place for the safety of police officers.  Wearing a scarf wrapped around your head and neck makes it easy for a suspect to strangle the officer.)

Woman accused of 'affectionate contact' with man caned in Indonesia.  A 20-year-old Indonesian woman was rushed to a hospital Monday [2/28/2015] after being publicly caned for violating Sharia law by allegedly having affectionate contact with a man who was not her husband.  The caning of students Nur Elita and Wahyudi Saputra happened in front of a cheering crowd outside a mosque in Banda Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that operates under Sharia law, the Jakarta Post reports.  Elita, who received five strokes along with Saputra, 23, had to be carried to an ambulance by officials following her punishment.

Whistleblower: Islamic Groups Control Narrative Of American Law Enforcement.  The stealth jihad in the information battle-space has led to the vigorous enforcement of blasphemy laws under the sharia.  Under Islamic law, it is prohibited to criticize Islam.  The Obama administration is sharia compliant at all costs.  Their number one priority is to protect Islam even when it puts American lives at risk.  The cold-blooded slaughter of Americans in the homeland by Muslims has not tempered Obama's sharia enthusiasm.  On the contrary, Garland, Fort Hood, Chattanooga, UCMED, San Bernardino etc have accelerated it.

Islam: Not Just a Religion.  Americans are having a hard time discussing the problem of Muslim immigration and assimilation because Islam is not just a religion; it's a whole way of life, civil and spiritual.  The First Amendment was written because Christians of all denominations believed that while people's religious beliefs are the basis for the law, no one Christian group should be supported by the power of the federal government.  After all, that's why many Americans had fled England.  Islam, according to many Muslims, rejects that principle and declares that all authority belongs to Islam.  It's as though Catholics believed that the pope should be the ultimate authority for setting the fine you have to pay if you get a speeding ticket.

Malaysia's first Islamic-compliant airline takes off.  Malaysia's first Islamic-compliant airline Rayani Air began operations Sunday [12/20/2015] with its maiden flight taking off from the capital to the resort island of Langkawi, local media reported.  In-flight meals served on board its flights are completely halal, with alcohol consumption strictly prohibited.  Muslim flight crew must don the hijab while non-Muslim crew are to be decently dressed, managing director Jaafar Zamhari told reporters.

American Muslims are not the enemy, but Sharia Law is a Clear and Present Danger to America.  First, too many Americans have not taken the time to learn about Sharia law, and distinguish the political ideology of Sharia law from a personal belief in God.  This is surprising, considering we have been at war with those seeking to further Sharia law for decades.  We've had plenty of time to learn in the decade and a half since the 9/11 attacks.  Unfortunately, Americans have listened to both Muslim apologists and many American political leaders claiming that Sharia law is no different than U.S. law.  The refusal to understand the distinction between a competing political ideology and religion has become dangerous.  For those who can handle the truth:  Sharia law is a political threat which could spell the doom of our constitutional republic and the end of Western civilization.

Rep. Gohmert: 'You Cannot Be An American Citizen And Believe Sharia Law Should Supplant Our Constitution'.  Discussing how the Obama administration apparently is not controlling illegal immigration and is using terrorist attacks to justify calls for more gun control, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said it is lawmakers' duty to protect Americans "against all enemies foreign and domestic," and stressed that Muslim immigrants who believe sharia law (Islamic law) must supplant the Constitution cannot be American citizens.  According to the BBC, "all aspects of a Muslim's life are governed by Sharia.  Sharia law comes from a combination of sources including the Quran, the Hadith (sayings and conduct of Muhammed), and fatwas (the rulings of Islamic scholars)."

Burger King goes halal.  After going homo in the United States with its "Proud Whopper" — a regular Whopper but with a new wrapper and a message inside, "We are all the same inside" — Burger King in France is going halal.

Forsakin' bacon: Burger King chooses Islamic food rules.  Burger King is going halal in France, aiming for the business of that nation's estimated 5 million Muslims, according to a new report.  The English-language Local report said the U.S. burger chain recently took over the Quick chain of fast-food restaurants in France and is planning to make about 40 of them, about 10 percent of the total, totally halal.  That means they would scrap all pork and bacon products from their menu and require that the beef and chicken be certified halal, or slaughtered according to Islamic religious tradition.

UK Cop: 'There Are Areas We Have To Ask Muslim Leaders' Permission To Patrol'.  A British policeman has hit back at the UK political establishment's trashing of U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments about policing in the United Kingdom, stating that there are some areas in the country where cops have to ask permission from local Muslim leaders in order to patrols.

Donald Trump is RIGHT about parts of London being so 'radicalised' they are no-go areas.  Serving police officers today backed Donald Trump's claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism. [...] The US presidential contender caused worldwide consternation yesterday after a string of incendiary remarks about Muslims, including in Britain, and said:  'We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.'  But one serving officer said today [12/9/2015] Trump had 'pointed out something plainly obvious, something which I think we aren't as a nation willing to own up to'.

Trump vindicated: London police do fear for their lives entering Muslim enclaves.  Breitbart reports on the current state of policing in and around London, where one police officer stated: "When I was a teenage lad in [B]urnley there were no go white areas.  This IS the case still nationally... including London where you have to have extra vigilance in certain parts when you are working."  This same officer also said, "Islamification has [been] and is occurring.  You have to have extra vigilance in certain parts when you are working."  And he's not the only one.  The Daily Mail reports that a policeman said that he and his colleagues are fearful they will be targets of terror attacks and that they've received "dire warning" from their superiors not to wear their uniforms, "even in their cars."  But they are not the only two reporting on the collapse of police authority in certain regions of the country.

Democratic Senate hopeful: Up to 20 percent of Muslims want a caliphate.  A prominent Democratic congresswoman and Senate candidate said that up to 20 percent of Muslims want to establish an Islamic caliphate and would use "terrorism" to achieve that goal.  Rep. Loretta Sanchez said Muslims seeking a caliphate are willing to use terrorism and violence to impose their views on the Western world.

After Jihadist Mass Murder, the CAIR's Sharia Agenda Rolls On.  In San Bernardino, heartbroken families are preparing to bury the 14 innocent people murdered last week by Islamic jihadists Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.  They are tending to another 21 wounded by the married terrorists.  Meanwhile the Los Angeles chapter of CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is pressing child custody authorities in California to comply with Islamic law — sharia — in the placement of the six-month-old infant the terrorist couple left behind.  They may not be saying that that is what they are doing, but that is what they are doing.  In the long term, CAIR-LA is pushing to have the child placed with Farook's sister, Saira Khan.  This is going on, mind you, even as FBI Director James Comey told a Senate committee today that the Islamic supremacist couple had been discussing jihad and martyrdom for the last two years (i.e., beginning before Malik immigrated to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia in 2014).  Farook may even have plotted a terrorist attack in 2012.

Loretta Lynch is unfit to serve.  As most AT readers know, Loretta Lynch recently stated that she would prosecute anyone who expressed "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that led to violence against Muslims.  Among other things, she also invited members of the Muslim community to contact her if their children are bullied at school.  Wow!  Does anyone else have Lynch's direct line so they can hop, skip, and jump over the playground monitor, teacher, counselor, vice-principal, and/or principal to the Attorney General of the United States?  I can almost hear the phones dialing now with the next wave of fabricated clock boy complaints.  Lynch is enforcing Sharia law, creating two classes of citizens.  Muslims are the protected class and non-Muslims are second-class citizens.

Obama's Recipe for Disaster.  The recent attacks in France have demonstrated just how reckless unchecked immigration truly is.  Europe is seeing the inevitable chickens coming home to roost.  The Islamic invasion of Europe has been allowed to go unchecked for a number of years, resulting in large enclaves of Islamists that reside in what has come to be known as "no go zones", or perhaps more accurately as Daniel Pipes said, "semi-autonomous sectors".  Regardless of what you choose to call it, granting any form of autonomy to hostile groups on your own soil is a less than safe proposition.  The groundswell of European natives had already been rising, calling on their governments to put an end to this insanity before the recent Paris attacks.  Now the opposition from everyday Europeans has reached fever pitch, resulting in at least some of those nations to rethink their stances on immigration.

Saudi court sentences poet to death for renouncing Islam.  A Palestinian poet and leading member of Saudi Arabia's nascent contemporary art scene has been sentenced to death for renouncing Islam.  A Saudi court on Tuesday [11/17/2015] ordered the execution of Ashraf Fayadh, who has curated art shows in Jeddah and at the Venice Biennale.  The poet, who said he did not have legal representation, was given 30 days to appeal against the ruling.

Paris Proves Muslim No-Go Zones [are] No Myth.  [B]ecause France's multicultural-obsessed leftist leaders allowed the foreign Muslim population to grow so large — thanks to the same kind of liberal refugee policies our American president is jamming us with now — many areas became belligerent and hostile toward local "kuffir" (infidel) authorities.  Soon, whole neighborhoods became off-limits to police.  Muslim youths rioted and attacked cops, who tried to patrol crime in those urban areas.  Paris lost control of these Muslim enclaves, allowing a parallel society to take root, one that has become a breeding ground for terrorists and other Islamic extremists.

Shariahville, USA: Cities 'surrender' to Islam.  Hamtramck, known affectionately as "Poletown" by Detroiters and Michiganians for its bustling district of Polish restaurants, markets and beautiful Catholic churches, last week become the nation's first city to elect a Muslim-majority city council — sending three Muslims to join one incumbent who was not up for re-election.  In butcher shops that once offered juicy Polish sausages in refrigerated display cases, female customers wearing hijabs now purchase halal meats blessed by an imam.  The sound of church bells has given way to the chant of a Muslim holy man giving the call to prayer in Arabic.

Do You Want Sharia Law In America?  What about people in our smartest state, California?  Do they think sharia law is bogus, or do they find it awesome?  A fellow named Mark Dice recently asked some everyday Californians for their opinion on this important issue:  [Video clip]

Watch Clinton supporters cheer for Sharia law.  California prankster and liberty activist Mark Dice has again taken to the streets to reveal the alarming stupidity of some Americans.  For his latest video, Dice asked Hillary Clinton supporters how they feel about Sharia law.  [Video clip]

Creeping Sharia in the EEOC.  The EEOC said that Star Transport Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated their religious rights by refusing to accommodate their objections to delivering alcoholic beverages.  "EEOC is proud to support the rights of workers to equal treatment in the workplace without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs or practices," EEOC General Counsel David Lopez announced Thursday [10/29/2015].  "This is fundamental to the American principles of religious freedom and tolerance."

Sharia Court Shut Down in Texas.  The City of Irving, Texas, was the setting for a recent Sharia Islamic Court, and the mayor took a stand against it.  Mayor Beth Van Duyne publicly stated that she backs the new Texas law which prohibits any kind of foreign law from being practiced in the state of Texas.

Beliefs About Sharia.  Although many Muslims around the world say sharia should be the law of the land in their country, the survey reveals divergent opinions about the precise application of Islamic law.  Generally, supporters of sharia are most comfortable with its application in cases of family or property disputes.  In most regions, fewer favor other specific aspects of sharia, such as cutting off the hands of thieves and executing people who convert from Islam to another faith.

Obama admin helps Muslims win big religious liberty lawsuit; why not Christian bakers?  When a couple of Muslim truck drivers are fired for refusing to haul beer on religious grounds, they're awarded $240,000.  When a couple of bakers refuse to bake a same-sex wedding cake on religious grounds, they're the ones being forced to pay big.  In the case of the Muslim truck drivers, the Obama administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stepped in and won the case for them.

Muslim men having '20 children each' because of polygamy, peer claims.  Muslim men in some communities are having up to 20 children each because of polygomy and the rise of "religiously sanctioned gender discrimination" under Sharia Law, peers have warned.  Baroness Cox, a cross-bench peer, highlighted a series of "shocking" examples of the impact of Sharia law on Muslim women in Britain as she called for them to be given greater protection under equality legislation.

The Editor says...
18 years from now, every one of those 20 kids will meet you at the ballot box.

Muslim Drivers Get Religious Freedom but Not Christian Bakers.  "Two Muslim truck drivers who refused to transport alcohol were recently awarded $240,000 by an Illinois judge, according to a press release by the EEOC.  "Truck drivers Mahad Abass Mohammed and Abdkiarim Hassan Bulshale were fired from Illinois-based Star Transport back in 2009 after they refused to transport alcohol because it violated their religious beliefs.  "The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the carrier on behalf of the drivers, alleging religious discrimination and wrongful termination.

$240,000 jury award to Muslim truck drivers who were fired for refusing to transport alcohol.  One more data point on the "When does your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job?" question — like it or not, under American law, employers sometimes do have to excuse employees from tasks that the employees find religiously objectionable.  Tuesday, two Muslim truck drivers who were fired for refusing to deliver shipments containing alcohol were awarded $40,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages by the jury in their discrimination claim.

So why did federal prisons remove all pork from the menu?  Did inmates stop liking bacon, or something?  Did pork products spike in price so much that the pork-laden government had to cut back?  Why in the world would the federal prison system eliminate all pork products?

Finally, the government has decided to eliminate pork — from the menu in federal prisons.  The nation's pork producers are in an uproar after the federal government abruptly removed bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pig products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates.  The ban started with the new fiscal year last week.  The Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for running 122 federal penitentiaries and feeding their inmates three meals a day, said the decision was based on a survey of prisoners' food preferences:  They just don't like the taste of pork.

The Editor says...
Since when has it mattered if prisoners enjoy their meals?  Prison time is punishment, it's not a picnic.  And since when have grown men developed a distaste for bacon?  Exactly the reverse trend is underway, if popular television advertising is any indication.  No, the official cover story is transparently false.  This change has nothing to do with the prisoners' preferences.  What we see here is the Obama administration appeasing the Muslims, applying halal rules to the prisoners' diet, and then lying about it.

Update:
After firestorm, pork roast is back on the menu at federal prisons.  After a week of controversy surrounding its abrupt removal of pork dishes from the national menu for federal inmates, the government did an about-face Thursday [10/15/2015] and put pork roast back on the prison bill of fare.  The Bureau of Prisons disclosed the decision to The Post hours after a Republican Senate leader expressed dismay at what he implied was a wasteful survey of inmates' food preferences and a lack of transparency in the decision.

Federal prisons reverse pork menu ban after outcry.  The Federal Bureau of Prisons may have bitten off more than it could chew by banning pork from prison menus earlier this month — and apparently has reversed course on the decision.  After the bureau drew complaints from the American pork industry and most recently from Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley for the ban, the senator's office tells FoxNews.com that the bureau informed them they're backing off the decision and returning pork to the menu.

Prison pork prohibition pulled promptly.  Last week we told you about the menu change at federal prisons where pork products disappeared from the table back on October 1st.  What was up with that?  At the time I wondered whether it had to do with pressure from religious groups who don't eat pork or perhaps some sort of political shenanigans between the administration and the pork industry.  We don't have all of those answers yet, but the resulting uproar spurred somebody to action and the ban on pork in prison has apparently been ended... at least in part.

Former House Intelligence Chair: Of Course Islamic Law is Incompatible With the Constitution.  Is Islamic law (Shariah) compatible with the U.S. Constitution?  The question has no simple answer, but we have three recent examples of where regime change forced national leaders to determine Shariah's role in their governance, all failing to reach a definitive conclusion.  The first two followed interventions by the Obama administration, in one case actively and in the other passively, that facilitated the overthrow of stable authorities.

Inmates, industry decry feds pulling pork from menus.  The Federal Bureau of Prisons is going whole hog in cutting pork from its menu.  With this month's start of fiscal year 2016, there will be no bacon, no pork chops, no pork roast, no pork sausage — no pork-related food at all — served to the nation's 205,723 federal inmates, including those at FCI Fort Worth or FMC Carswell.  While there have been grumblings from some inmates' family members that the prohibition had to do with Muslim or Jewish dietary restrictions, Bureau of Prisons spokesman Ed Ross said that isn't the case.  A woman whose son is in federal prison in Fort Worth says he has complained about the lack of pork, saying he had heard it was because of complaints from Muslim inmates.

Ben Carson: Show me an Islamic text that opposes Sharia law.  GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson on Sunday [9/27/2015] stood by his comments that a Muslim should not be president, pointing out that the tenets of Islam come from Sharia law and the Koran.  "What we should be talking about is Islam and the tenets of Islam and where do they come from?" he told Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week."  "They come from Sharia.  They come from the Koran.  They come from, you know, the life works and examples of Muhammad.  They come from the fatwas, which is the writings of scholars."

Mainstream Islamic Doctrine: Build a Caliphate.  The vast majority of Westerners — especially Americans — are completely ignorant of Islamic doctrine.  When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi claimed the title Caliph and declared the Islamic State in June 2014, many ignorant observers assumed that the establishment of the Caliphate was something that only "radicals" and "extremists" sought.  That isn't true.  A study of Islamic doctrine based on the Islamic trilogy — the Quran, the Hadith and the Sirah — reveals that it is a doctrinal tenet of Islam that Muslims are supposed to work for the establishment of the worldwide Islamic state so that Allah's law reigns supreme everywhere.

Do Muslims in the U.S. believe Sharia law supersedes the Constitution?  They said it. [Video clip]

ACLU, CAIR Sue Florida for Denying Islamic Meals to Muslim Prisoners.  The American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) Florida Chapter and the Council Of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida are suing the state of Florida for purportedly denying Halal meals to Muslim convicts locked up in the Miami-Dade Country prison system.  The lawsuit was filed on Thursday [9/3/2015] in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Local 10 News, a Miami-based ABC affiliate, reported.  Other inmates have been provided with meals that cooperate with their faith, and Muslims should be afforded the same opportunity, the lawsuit claims.

Muslim Stewardess Refuses to Serve Alcohol, Then Plays the Victim.  A Muslim flight attendant, Charee Stanley, claims that she was suspended from her job with ExpressJet Airlines because she refused to serve alcohol.  She has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) — and now the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has jumped onto the case.  So now we have yet another Muslim workplace lawsuit from CAIR — once again designed to impose Islam on the workplace.  This is what they do.  Why would a devout Muslim want to be a flight attendant in the first place, when half your job is serving alcohol?

Mayor Wants to Make Seattle More Sharia-Friendly.  Edward B. Murray, the mayor of one of the most politically progressive cities in America — Seattle — wants to make it easier for the 30,000 practicing Muslims in his city to get home mortgages without violating religious Sharia law.  It is part of his plan to ease what he says is a "housing crisis."  A new company in Seattle wants to help that happen, along with allowing Muslims to invest in retirement plans without violating Sharia law.  But conservatives have been warning for years that doing business with Islam is the same as doing business with terrorists, and a Seattle radio talk show host wonders why progressives favor Muslims over Christians.

With Obama's Help, Assembling Al Qaeda's Domestic Army Is Now Easier.  If immigrants to the U.S. seek citizenship but are reluctant to take an oath of allegiance because it requires a commitment to help defend the country, what is the solution?  If the immigrants in question are Muslim and you have a pro-Muslim U.S. president, the solution is simple — just change the oath to accommodate them. [...] The quandary for U.S. citizen candidates who are Muslim is this:  Just like America's first two wars as a new nation were against Muslims, so too have its last two been.  However, Islamic law — sharia — prohibits Muslims from fighting fellow Muslims.

Police Warn of No-Go Zones in Germany.  Spiraling levels of violent crime perpetrated by immigrants from the Middle East and the Balkans are turning parts of Duisburg, a key German industrial city, into "areas of lawlessness" — areas that are becoming de facto "no-go" zones for police, according to a confidential police report that was leaked to the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.

Woman posts picture of parked car to Facebook, is jailed.  It started in February when Magi, annoyed at a driver who took up two handicap-parking spaces in her apartment's lot, posted a photo (since removed, per the Sydney Morning Herald) of the car on Facebook.  The 39-year-old didn't include any identifying elements in the photo, the ABC notes — but the next thing she knew, a complaint was filed and she was in an Abu Dhabi courtroom, where she was found guilty under a UAE cybercrime law of "writing bad words on social media about a person," hit with a $2,700 fine, and told she'd be deported from Abu Dhabi, where she's lived since 2012.

Seattle officials join push for Sharia-compliant mortgages, loans.  A proposal in Seattle meant to increase homeownership among Muslims by offering financing compliant with strict Islamic law — known as Sharia — is gaining ground in the latest test for local leaders trying to accommodate diverse religious beliefs.  "We will work to develop new tools for Muslims who are prevented from using conventional mortgage products due to their religious beliefs," Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said during a press conference July 13.

Texans threaten to cover land with pigs' blood to block Muslim cemetery.  A group of residents in Farmersville, Texas said they are prepared to put pigs' heads on spikes and pour pigs' blood on a plot of land where a Muslim cemetery will be established.

Texas Residents Condemn Plan for Muslim Cemetery.  A proposal to bring a Muslim cemetery to Farmersville has stoked fears among residents who are vehemently trying to convince community leaders to block the project.

Ed Murray, Seattle mayor, proposes Sharia-compliant housing.  Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has announced plans to increase housing in the city for Muslims who follow Sharia law, which prohibits payment of interest on loans.  Mr. Murray's housing committee recommended the city convene lenders, housing nonprofits and community leaders "to explore the best options for increasing access to Sharia-compliant loan products," according to the proposal.

What is halal?  In Arabic, the word halal means permitted or lawful.  Halal foods are foods that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines.  According to these guidelines gathered from the Qu'ran, Muslim followers cannot consume the following:
  •   pork or pork by-products
  •   animals that have died naturally, or that were killed by accident
  •   animals not slaughtered properly or not slaughtered in the name of Allah
  •   blood and blood by-products
However, the muslims are using halal certification as part of their arsenal to convert the whole world to islam.

Minneapolis Muslims Pine for Sharia Law, Condemn Freedom of Speech.  Not long ago, six men from a Muslim Somali community in Minneapolis were arrested for attempting to leave the country and join ISIS as terror fighters.  The backgrounds of these men were notable, as each held the potential to excel at productive endeavors and create a life of abundance and happiness.  These were men who chose, conscientiously, to reject freedom and prosperity in favor of death and destruction. [...] [T]he six men arrested for conspiring to join ISIS were not anomalies.  Rather, they were predictable products of their culture, a culture which America has welcomed into its gates.

Supreme Court Rules For Tulsa Woman In Case Against Abercrombie & Fitch.  The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Tulsa woman who sued Abercrombie and Fitch after it refused to hire her over a head scarf.  Samantha Elauf argued that she wore the headdress due to her religious obligations, and the Supreme Court ruled Monday [6/1/2015] that the retail chain violated her civil rights.  The ruling cites the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which "prohibits a prospective employer from refusing to hire an applicant because of the applicant's religious practice when the practice could be accommodated without undue hardship," according to the court.

Texas Outlaws Any Application of Radical Islamic Sharia Law Within its Borders.  Once again the nation looks to Texas for the way things ought to be.  This time the Texas Legislature has passed a law permanently barring Muslims from trying to institute their own sharia-based savagery on their own communities in the Lone Star State.

Can Muslims Be American? 58% of US Muslims Say Free Speech Should Be Illegal.  A recent poll seems to suggest that Muslims living in the USA want to outlaw free speech and a large number even agree that blasphemers of the Muslim god should be executed... HERE in the USA!  It all makes one wonder if it is possible to be both a Muslim and a true American?

Sharia Tribunal in Texas an Islamic trojan horse?  CBN News has done a great piece on the Sharia Tribunal in Texas, talking to both a judge on the tribunal and Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, who warns that Muslims will be compelled to go through the courts and that's just the beginning.

Kosher food-cart vendor says he's blocked by 'halal mafia' in NYC.  A Jewish kosher-food purveyor says he's being prevented from settling in the heart of Manhattan by the "halal mafia."  Yisroel Mordowitz insists he just wants to peacefully peddle sandwiches piled high with brisket or pastrami from his Holy Rollers cart in the lucrative Rockefeller Center area, 48th Street off Sixth Avenue.  But a group of irate Egyptian competitors block the kosher vendor from setting up on the sidewalk, literally squatting on the curb or placing umbrellas and beverage cartons to cordon off the space.

Sharia Court in Texas: What Could Go Wrong?  Contrary to what sharia apologists say, these courts are not just about whether you pray five times a day or which foot you enter a bathroom with.  It is precisely where U.S. family law conflicts with Islamic law that is one of the greatest concerns some have with the establishment of sharia courts in the U.S.  In 2013, the BBC program Panorama went undercover in sharia courts operating in the UK and found systematic discrimination against women in these courts and advice being given to women suffering from domestic violence not to go to police against UK public policy.

Texas Muslim Community Creates Private Court to 'Dispense Shariah Law'.  A community of Muslims in Dallas, Texas have created their own private "court" to dispense shariah compliant "justice" to their own people.  The existence of this extra legal "court" has been confirmed by the reporters at Breitbart News.  Folks, this parallel court system created for Muslims is the first step in making us just like France, Germany, or England where Muslims immigrate but never become citizens preferring instead to import their backwards ideas into any country foolish enough to host them.

'Voluntary' Sharia Tribunal in Texas: This Is How It Starts.  Breitbart Texas confirmed Tuesday [1/27/2015] that "an Islamic Tribunal using Sharia law" is indeed operating in Texas.  But not to worry: an attorney for the tribunal assures us that participation is "voluntary," and one of the Sharia judges, Dr. Taher El-badawi, says it's devoted only to "non-binding dispute resolution."  This is how it starts.  This is how it started in the United Kingdom.  When Sharia courts were instituted there, Muslim and non-Muslim officials alike all assured the British public and the world that they would be voluntary, restricted to matters involving non-criminal matters, and subject to the British courts.  Any areas in which British law and Sharia law conflicted would be referred not to the Sharia courts, but to the British courts.

Islamic Tribunal Using Sharia Law In Texas Has Been Confirmed.  Breitbart Texas has confirmed the existence of an Islamic tribunal in Texas that will make judgments in accordance with Sharia law.  The website for the Islamic tribunal states: "It is with this issue that Muslims here in America are obligated to find a way to solve conflicts and disputes according to the principles of Islamic Law and its legal heritage of fairness and justice in a manner that is reasonable and cost effective."

Islamic Tribunal Confirmed in Texas; Attorney Claims 'It's Voluntary'.  An Islamic Tribunal using Sharia law in Texas has been confirmed by Breitbart Texas.  The tribunal is operating as a non-profit organization in Dallas.  One of the attorneys for the tribunal said participation and acceptance of the tribunal's decisions are "voluntary."  Breitbart Texas spoke with one of the "judges," Dr. Taher El-badawi. He said the tribunal operates under Sharia law as a form of "non-binding dispute resolution."  El-badawi said their organization is "a tribunal, not arbitration."  A tribunal is defined by Meriam-Webster's Dictionary as "a court or forum of justice."  The four Islamic attorneys call themselves "judges" not "arbitrators."

Dearborn Police Complied With Shariah Law, Arrested Christians for Street Preaching.  Video has resurfaced with something disturbing that happened in America.  While this is not yet widespread, it is our constitutional and moral duty to expose this, fight this, and keep talking about it until people know the risk of shariah law in America.

Mass immigration has led to Muslim 'ghettos' in Britain run under Sharia Law, says Farage.  Mass immigration has led to the growth of Muslim 'ghettos' in Britain which are run under Sharia Law, Nigel Farage declared last night.  In an interview with US news channel Fox News, Mr Farage said the authorities had turned a 'blind eye' to the growth of ghettos where 'the police and all the normal agents of the law have withdrawn and that is where Sharia law has come in'.  Mr Farage's controversial remarks came after US terror 'expert' Steve Emerson sparked ridicule by claiming Birmingham was 'totally Muslim' and religious police squads were roaming the streets of London.

UKIP's Nigel Farage: Police Turning A Blind Eye To Muslim Ghettos.  ["]Yeah, it isn't just France.  It's happening right across Europe.  We've got no-go zones in most of the French cities.  We've been turning a blind eye to preachers of hate that have been coming here from the Middle East and saying things which the rest of us would be arrested for.  In parts of Northern England, we've seen a sexual grooming scandal of underage girls committed by Muslim men, in the majority.["]

Kosher vs Halal.  Here are some of the difference between kosher and halal slaughter:  [For example,] Kosher — requires the animal be slaughtered quickly and humanely, strictly forbidding cruel slow methods like strangulation.  Halal — requires the animal be bled out in agony while sick people who get off watching that kind of thing have a "festival."

Emerson on Fox's Hannity: "No Go Zones and Sharia Courts... Europe is Finished."  When I was in Brussels a year ago when I asked the police to take me to the Islamic zone or the Islamic community area they refused.  They said we don't go there.  This goes on in Belgium, this goes on in Sweden, in the Netherlands, in France, it goes on in Italy.  It goes on throughout Europe.  So there are no-go zones.

Hundreds of 'No-Go Zones' Across France Are Off-Limits to Non-Muslims.  In the wake of the terror attacks in Paris, some are questioning if France has helped fuel the rise of radical Islam by allowing "no-go zones," areas that are off-limits to non-Muslims.  There are an estimated 750 no-go zones across France, large, insular neighborhoods where the government has all but surrendered authority to the Muslim community.  Many of these areas are governed by Islamic Sharia law, and the state is unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire and ambulance services.

Muslims segregated from French society in growing Islamist mini-states.  A backdrop to the massacre in Paris on Wednesday by self-professed al Qaeda terrorists is that city officials have increasingly ceded control of heavily Muslim neighborhoods to Islamists, block by block.  France has Europe's largest population of Muslims, some of whom talk openly of ruling the country one day and casting aside Western legal systems for harsh, Islam-based Shariah law.

Lindt café refused to be Halal certified.  I'm glad Lindt café didn't bow to the political correctness clown show and switch just because Muslims may have demanded it.

Alabama voters approve law banning Sharia.  Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups claim that such laws infringe upon Muslims' religious freedom.  In reality, neither Alabama nor any other state would be contemplating anti-Sharia laws were it not for Sharia's political and supremacist aspects, and its elements that are at variance with Constitutional freedoms — notably, its denial of the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience, and of equality of rights for women and non-Muslims.

We Must Defeat the Poisonous Ideology of Islamism.  Political Islam, as distinct from the religious practices of tens of millions of Muslims, is predicated on the idea that individuals have no rights and that the state, Islamic or otherwise, has unlimited power over every aspect of an individual's life.  We see this in the brutal force used throughout the Middle East by a host of regimes unified by their rejection of individual rights to life, liberty or private personal happiness.  Sharia Law is applied by a select group claiming the right to interpret and execute it without the fundamental dignity accorded to a human being in a civilized society.

Islamic Welfare Colonists Demand Free Halal Food in Minnesota.  For the welfare colonists the federal government is importing from the terrorist hotbed Somalia to Islamize Minnesota, free food isn't good enough.  It has to be halal free food: [...] That is, they have a human right not just to free food, but to free food that meets the specifications of the terrorist death cult they have come from afar to spread.

'Sharia Police' Patrolling Streets in Germany.  Residents of the German city of Wuppertal have expressed concern after a group of young radical Islamists started taking to the streets late at night, trying to deter revellers from drinking and gambling.

Saudi religious police beat up Briton.  Members of Saudi Arabia's religious police roughed up a British resident of Riyadh after they caught him paying at a women-only cash desk, local media reported on Monday [9/1/2014].  Saudi Arabia imposes a strict interpretation of Islamic laws, notably a segregation of the sexes.

Declare War on Shariah.  Nearly thirteen years after 9/11, it is past time to recognize that we are at war not with one group of "terrorists" or another.  Rather, adherents to a doctrine or ideology they call shariah are at war with us.  Shariah is, at its core, about power, not faith.  While some small percentage (some estimates suggest ten-percent) of its dictates prescribe the religious practices, the rest of it defines comprehensively how every relationship must be ordered — between individuals, families, neighbors, business associates, all the way up to how the world is governed.  Most importantly, shariah obliges its followers to engage in jihad (or holy war).

Caliphate of Fear: The Curse of the Islamic State.  In Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State's "caliphate" has already become a reality.  All women in the city are required to wear the niqab veil and pants are banned.  Thieves have their hands hacked off and opponents are publicly crucified or beheaded, with the images of these horrific acts then posted on social networks.  The few hair salons that are still open are required to black out the pictures of women on the packaging for hair dye solutions.  Weddings are only permitted to take place without music.  And at livestock markets, the hindquarters of goats and sheep must be covered in order to prevent men from viewing their genitalia and having uncomely thoughts.  Any person caught out on the street during the five daily prayer times is risking his or her life.

ISIS Forms Female Brigade to Enforce Sharia Law.  The Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, has formed an all-female brigade tasked with the job of enforcing Sharia law in Syria.  The brigade was formed "shortly after [ISIS] retook control of Raqqa earlier this year."  According to Syria Deeply, ISIS official Abu Ahmad said, "We have established the brigade to raise awareness of our religion among women, and to punish women who do not abide by the law."  He added, "Jihad is not a man-only duty.  Women must do their part as well."

Under new rules, Muslim inmates in L.A. County jails observe Ramadan.  Since 2012, when the ACLU began complaining about the treatment of Muslim inmates in the Los Angeles County jails, the Sheriff's Department appears to have made significant improvements.  Muslims in the county jails now receive halal meals.  During Ramadan, a deputy at Men's Central Jail works full-time with the Muslim inmates, ensuring they are fed the pre-dawn meal and that their other religious needs are met.  Inmates no longer complain of verbal abuse from deputies denigrating the Muslim faith.

Tesco Apologises After Muslim Worker Refuses to Serve Woman Buying Ham and Alcohol.  The Tesco supermarket chain has apologised after a Muslim staff member refused to serve a customer because he said it was Ramadan.  The devout cashier said he could not touch the ham and wine as it was forbidden.  When the customer, Julie Cottle, complained to the manager, he initially supported the worker's right to refuse to serve her.  The chain has now apologised, however, and said that the worker had been "spoken to".

What's a caliphate? News puts focus on ancient form of government.  When the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria announced Sunday that it was changing its name and reviving the caliphate, the news lit up the Internet and headlined news reports around the world.  But what is a caliphate?  And what is the self-described Islamic State hoping to achieve with its declaration?

The City That Offers Sharia-Compliant Loans to Muslim Business Owners.  Since 2006, Minneapolis has loaned more than $1 million to Muslim business owners through a program that complies with sharia law, which prohibits Muslims from paying or earning interest in a financial transaction.  The program, which is operated in partnership with the African Development Center, makes Minneapolis the only city in the country to offer Islamic financing at a time when states are trying to ban sharia from the courts.

Malaysian Muslim groups call for jihad on Cadbury after pork traces found in chocolate.  Muslim groups have declared jihad on Cadbury after two of its products sold in predominately Islamic Malaysia were found to contain traces of pork.  The discovery was made during a periodic check for non-halal ingredients in food products by the country's health ministry, which confirmed the presence of porcine DNA in bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond.  Cadbury Malaysia, like most food makers in the country where Muslims make up more than 60 percent of the population, has all of its products certified halal to conform with Islam's dietary restrictions, one of which is a prohibition on pork.

Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after 'strong demand' from Muslims.  Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from almost 200 outlets, and switched to halal meat alternatives in an attempt to please its Muslim customers.  It has confirmed turkey ham and turkey rashers will be used instead in 185 of its stores, where all the meat will now be prepared according to halal rules.  The chain, which has around 1,500 outlets across the UK, explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with 'the views of religious communities'.

Protestors Picket Britain's Law Society Over Sharia Implementation.  Protesters picketed Britain's Law Society last night after it was revealed that the group has taken a step towards assisting the implementation of Sharia law in Britain. [...] The protestors last night expressed concerns that, for the first time, a major legal body is giving credibility to rules that justify discrimination against women and 'illegitimate children'.

Muslim drivers at Cleveland airport refuse to drive cabs with Gay Games advertising.  Roughly 25 Muslim drivers dispatched to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport are refusing to drive cabs adorned with advertising for the region's upcoming Gay Games, citing religious reasons.  Two of the three companies operating at Ohio's largest airport were informed by the drivers — one-third of the airport's total fleet — last week that they will no longer participate in the airport's dedicated taxicab program.

Rev. Graham: Muslims Who 'Want to Practice Sharia Law' Should 'Go Back to Where You Came From'.  "We should be afraid of sharia law" in America, and Muslims here who want to practice sharia should go back to where they came from, "to those nations that recognize sharia law," said Rev. Franklin Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  In a recent interview with the Charlotte Observer, Graham was asked, "Some say you demonize Islam, and Christians in this country have opposed building a mosque or are worried about Sharia law.  Isn't it —" Graham, who oversees the international Christian aid group Samaritan's Purse, said, "We should be afraid of Sharia law.  We should be absolutely afraid of it.  No question about it, because there's no tolerance in Sharia law.  It persecutes those that do not believe in Islam."

Canada: Nine Months in Jail for Blasphemy Against Islam.  Caution: If you happen to be in Canada, and you say something in public that hurts the feelings of Muslims, you may well be sentenced to nine months in jail.  That's what happened to Eric Brazau in Toronto.  Mind you, I've seen a video of Mr. Brazau's street-corner theatrics, and he also wore offensive attire, made insulting facial expressions, and laughed derisively at or in the general direction of Muslims.  So he was lucky to get off so lightly.

Enforcing Islamic Law at Brandeis.  Officially, Brandeis is now a place where critics of Islam — "blasphemers" and "apostates," according to Islamic law — are scorned and rejected.  Not that Brandeis put it that way in its unsigned announcement about Hirsi Ali's dis-invitation, which notes:  "She is a compelling public figure and advocate for women's rights, and we respect and appreciate her work to protect and defend the rights of women and girls throughout the world.  That said, we cannot overlook ... her past statements that are inconsistent with Brandeis University's core values."  Translation:  Hirsi Ali's advocacy on behalf of brutalized women is good, but Hirsi Ali's "past statements" — advocacy that connects such violence to Islamic teachings — are bad, or, in faddish twaddle, "Islamophobia."

China official says Islamists seek to ban laughter and crying.  The governor of China's restive far western region of Xinjiang wrote on Monday that Islamist militants were trying to ban laughter at weddings and crying at funerals, as he appealed to people to stamp out the "tumor" of extremism.

Sharia law for wills — and then what?  The Law Society's decision to issue a practice note to solicitors who may be interested in drafting "Sharia-compliant" wills for their Muslim clients is shocking.  Even before we consider the technical issues surrounding the drafting of wills and gender discrimination inherent in Sharia inheritance provisions, the Law Society seems to be endorsing different sets of a laws for different groups of people.  The idea of equality before the law is being dangerously undermined.

Sharia Law to be enshrined in British legal system as lawyers get guidelines.  Top lawyers have written guidelines for British solicitors on drafting 'sharia-compliant' wills which can deny women an equal share of their inheritance and entirely exclude non-believers, it was revealed today [3/22/2014].  The Law Society, which represents solicitors in England and Wales, has written a guide on Sharia succession rules that will be used in British courts.  It will mean that children born outside of marriage and adopted children could also be denied their fair share.  The guide states:  'No distinction is made between children of different marriages, but illegitimate and adopted children are not Sharia heirs.

Islamic law is adopted by British legal chiefs.  Islamic law is to be effectively enshrined in the British legal system for the first time under guidelines for solicitors on drawing up "Sharia compliant" wills.  Under ground-breaking guidance, produced by The Law Society, High Street solicitors will be able to write Islamic wills that deny women an equal share of inheritances and exclude unbelievers altogether.  The documents, which would be recognised by Britain's courts, will also prevent children born out of wedlock — and even those who have been adopted — from being counted as legitimate heirs.

Denmark bans Halal and Kosher meat as 'animal rights come before religion'.  Denmark has provoked the fury of Muslim and Jewish groups by banning Halal and Kosher slaughter on animal rights grounds.  The new law, which came into force yesterday, has been criticised by religious groups.  But minister for agriculture and food Dan Jørgensen said that "animal rights come before religion".  European regulations require animals to be stunned before they are slaughtered, but exemptions can be made on religious grounds.

New Saudi Counterterrorism Law Criminalizes Speech Critical of Gov't or Society.  Saudi Arabia put into effect a sweeping new counterterrorism law Sunday [2/2/2014] that human rights activists say allows the kingdom to prosecute as a terrorist anyone who demands reform, exposes corruption or otherwise engages in dissent.

Latest fatwa from Iran: No online chatting between sexes.  The latest religious edict from Iran's supreme leader takes aim at the Islamic Republic's lonely hearts.  Online chatting between men and women on social networks is forbidden under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's latest fatwa, delivered ironically enough on his website in answer to a question sent by email.  The top mullah's reasoning is that such contact could eventually lead to activities prohibited by Islam.

Muslim protestors demand restaurants and shops stop selling "evil" alcohol.  Dozens of Muslim protestors gathered to demand that businesses stop selling alcohol in a popular East London area yesterday [12/13/2013].  The group, led by former Al-Muhajiroun leader Anjem Choudary, warned restaurants and shops in the Brick Lane area that they face 40 lashes if they continue to sell the product, which is banned under Sharia Law.

Islamists threaten British shop owners with 40 lashes for selling alcohol.  Whitechapel is on the outskirts of London, but it is an area where Muslims enforce Sharia law without any interference from British officials.  On Saturday [12/14/2013], they took it a step further and told shop owners in the area they will face 40 lashes if they continue to sell alcohol.

Grooming Gangs and Sharia.  Muslims['] groups around the world are crying Islamophobia and playing the victim card as horrific Islamic-motivated crimes, such as grooming and rape-gangs, rage on with impunity throughout the Western world, especially in Europe.  Rape or grooming gangs, which are almost entirely Muslim, are committing a crime that is religiously mandated in Islamic doctrine.

Fox & Friends Finds Proof That 'Sharia Law Is Changing Everything' in America.  Buried among a slew of short news update on Monday morning's edition of Fox & Friends was this disturbing revelation from reporter Heather Nauert:  "Sharia law is now changing everything."  Nauert was reporting on a YMCA swim class in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota that will cater to the religious beliefs of Somali-American girls.  "The minority becoming the majority at one community pool," she said.  before issuing the warning that "similar classes are now starting at towns across the Midwest."

St. Paul YMCA and police start Somali girls swim group.  Special considerations have to be made to address modesty concerns so that the Muslim girls can swim and not reveal too much of themselves.  During the hourlong swim practice, all other swimmers are cleared out of the pool.  The men's locker room is locked.  Female life guards are brought in.  The pool, which is on the building's third floor, has no windows so they don't have to worry about prying eyes from outside.

Hamas-CAIR Goes After DHL in Kentucky to Impose Prayer Times.  Muslim Brotherhood group Hamas-CAIR is filing suit against DHL to impose Muslim prayer times on the workplace in Kentucky.  Muslim [sic] do not have to pray during the day.  They can make it up before work and after work, which is what they do in Muslim countries.  It is not necessary for a Muslim to pray at a certain time if necessity makes it impossible to do so.  These actions are merely devices in which to impose Islam on non-believers.  Prayer is not absolutely required a strict schedule, and Muslim prayers are commonly "made up" after work or school.  This is true even in Muslim countries such as Iran.  So why sue American companies to impose Muslim prayer on the secular workplace?  To impose Islam on the public square.

Canada (and the U.S.) Welcome Polygamy.  Polygamy is against the law in the U.S. and Canada, and that's a good thing:  the practice devalues women, reducing them to the status of commodities, and stands as an affront to their equality with men as human beings.  But now anti-polygamy laws are coming under stealthy and subtle challenge, as both governments bow before the god of multiculturalism and dare not confront the increasing number of Muslims who are practicing polygamy in both countries.

Dangerous Times: The Crisis-Monger.  Want to see a real war against women?  Wherever sharia takes over, women are systematically intimidated, brainwashed, beaten, raped, murdered, jailed in their homes, and treated with contempt.  American feminists are so utterly deluded that they can't see crimes against women all over Dar al Harb, the House of War, right in front of their unseeing eyes.  And Obama's "alter ego," Valerie Jarrett, born and raised in Iran, can't be in any doubt about the facts.

Al Jazeera and the soft underbelly of America.  Can you imagine Adolf Hitler owning a TV news network that spewed his hateful rhetoric across the United States either before or during World War II? [...] This principle doesn't have anything to do with the First Amendment or tolerance of other people's ideas.  It has to do with self-preservation.  If you are engaged in a war for cultural survival, you don't just turn a blind eye to a foreign effort to subvert your nation from within.  Unfortunately, that instinct for survival no longer exists in modern America — which, like it or not, is engaged in a long-term battle of wills with Islamism, the movement to impose the political and cultural version of Islam known across the globe in a worldwide caliphate dedicated to the implementation of sharia (Islamic law).

Oklahoma Ban on Sharia Law Unconstitutional, US Judge Rules.  An Oklahoma federal judge struck down a state constitutional amendment that forbade its courts from considering Islamic law in judicial decisions.  The constitutional amendment — approved by more than 70% of Oklahoma voters in 2010 — was part of a broader national push led by a handful of organizations that claim Islamic Sharia law is creeping into courtrooms.

Judge Says Courts Must Accept Shariah Influence.  An Oklahoma constitutional amendment barring the state's courts from weighing or using Shariah law was struck down in federal court.  How can a law written to protect the Constitution be unconstitutional?

Why Did a Tennessee Grade School Ban Pork?  A Tennessee elementary school banned students from eating ham sandwiches, BLT's and anything else made with pork, but eventually lifted the ban after parents complained. [...] "No meats containing pork," read the memorandum.  "Starting Monday, August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above approved snack list." Kids could nosh on raw vegetables without dips or sauces, fresh fruit, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn — but no ribs or pork rinds.

The Editor says...
The ban was quickly lifted, but don't ever forget that they tried to impose Islamic (halal) restrictions on food that the kids were bringing from their homes!  Even the Food Police have never been so brazen, but the Muslims are, and I suspect that's who is at the root of this ill-conceived order.

Blasphemy Law Comes to Facebook.  Over the last couple of weeks Facebook has clamped down heavily on various (around 40) counter-jihad and patriot pages.  The administrators of these pages were shocked when they logged on and found that their pages had suddenly 'disappeared'.  In some cases Facebook has made this statement:  'Your Page was flagged for content containing nudity, pornography or sexual solicitation.'  The page admins, however, have claimed not to have posted anything with explicitly sexual content.  What will have happened is that Muslims, and/or the Leftist whores/enablers-of-Islam, will have 'reported' these pages for 'sexual content' knowing full well that it would be much more difficult to make a political/religious case for banning them.

2 Mich. McDonald's Drop Halal Food After Suit.  This comes after the fast food giant and a Michigan franchise owner agreed to a $700,000 legal settlement in April after a customer sued.

DoJ places a chill on criticism of Islam.  By "spreading information considered inflammatory against Muslims" — even if it's true — you could violate the civil rights act and be subject to prosecution.  We all know that this new ruling will target those considered to be "blasphemers" against Islam.  Muslims here and around the world have been after western governments to enforce their idea of blasphemy and to punish those who speak out against Islam.

French firms see rising religious demands at work.  Listing faith-related problems, the new study said some men refused to take orders from a woman boss or shake hands with women and some refused to handle alcohol or pork products.  Other problems include employees wanting to pray or wear religious garb at work.  Some employees try to impose their religious standards on colleagues, such as preventing non-observant Muslims from eating at work during Ramadan.

The Muslim World's Problem.  In Egypt, for example, more than 70 percent of the public supports shariah law, and almost 90 percent of those individuals also support executing those who leave Islam.  I feel comfortable saying this is a problem, a much, much greater problem than any alleged American "Islamophobia," and if we turn away from these statistics and believe the fault for continued jihadist bloodshed lies primarily within us — or is primarily the fault of Israel — then we are truly willfully blind.

Bangladesh: Thousands stone police, torch city as they demonstrate for Sharia blasphemy law.  Soon Sharia blasphemy laws will come to the West as well, if the clueless and/or complicit [...] get their way.

Time to Suspend Muslim Immigration, Muslims in the Military, and Building Mosques in the U.S.  Why?  Because Muslims bring with them a totalitarian ideology that calls for the submission of the United States to Islam and Sharia law.  Pew released its findings yesterday [5/1/2013] on its worldwide survey of Muslims, and revealed that two-thirds of Middle Eastern Muslims believe in the death penalty for any Muslim who converts to Christianity, and one-third believe in suicide bombings.  This is not a religion of peace or liberty.  Every tenet of Islam is fundamentally, irreversibly, subversively and implacably hostile to every value we cherish in America.

Muslim Rail Terrorist Claims He Should Go Free Because the Koran Doesn't Ban Terrorism.  [Scroll down]  And if the Canadian criminal code were more perfect like the Koran, then they would include operating instructions exempting Canadians from being charged with murder for killing non-Canadians in the pursuit of imposing Canadian law on all mankind.  But sadly Canadians lack this sort of tolerant perfect legal system that Muslims enjoy and misunderstand the Islamic zeal for killing people in order to impose the perfect laws that allow them to kill people in order to impose laws.

Taliban militants cut off leg and hand of two men because they worked with allied forces.  A man lies on a stretcher at a hospital in Herat, west Afghanistan recovering from having his leg and hand cut off by Taliban militants.  The attack yesterday [4/20/2013] saw two men captured and dragged in front of a Taliban court who ruled the men should have a leg and a hand each chopped off for working with the allied forces.

Deal Approved In Muslims' Suit Against McDonald's.  A judge has approved a long-awaited $700,000 settlement between a Dearborn McDonalds and people who say they ate chicken sandwiches, that should have been prepared as HALAL:  the Muslim equivalent of Kosher.  Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represents plaintiffs in the class-action suit, claims he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at the restaurant but found it wasn't prepared according to Islamic law.

Second university sounds alarm over segregation at Muslim student events.  Leicester University voiced concern after photographs emerged showing hand-written signs directing male and female students to sit in separate sections at a public talk on the existence of God organised by the university's Islamic Society.

It's Not Easy Being Red and Green.  Islamism is even more untethered than Communism, loosely originating from powerful oil nations, but able to spring up anywhere in the Muslim world.  Its proponents have even less use for the nation state than the Communists.  What they want is a Caliphate ruled under Islamic law; a single unit of human organization extending across nations, regions and eventually the world.

The Jihad On Free Speech.  Over the past few weeks, there have been an alarming number of cases of Muslim pressure groups trying to force Americans to conform to a pro-Islamic speech code.  They've insisted on censoring any speech or expression that offends them, including TV ads, Christian symbols, speeches and even parts of speech.

If Christians acted like this, it would be front-page news.
'Muslim Patrols': Sharia Enforcers Hit Britain's Streets.  No longer content with preaching Sharia in the mosque, some British Muslims are now attempting to impose Islamic law on the streets.  In videos posted on YouTube, self-described "Muslim patrols" have filmed themselves berating young women for being inappropriately dressed, seizing cans of beer from men, and burning posters advertising women's underwear.  In another video, a mob pursues a man they suspect of being gay down a street, calling him a "fag" and telling him to get out of their "Muslim area."

GOP donor: Gays must be protected from Islamic shariah law in U.S.  Foster Friess, the the multimillionaire who helped keep Rick Santorum's presidential dreams afloat in the GOP primary last year, told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor that he wants to make sure that gay people are not killed in foreign nations because of their sexual preference.  Asked whether the Republican Party should embrace gay marriage, the 72-year-old investment manager said, "We have to protect the gay people in our country from Shariah law."

The Editor asks...
What about everybody else?

McDonald's settles $700,000 suit over Islamic diet in US.  McDonald's and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law.

McDonald's settles case alleging sandwich sold at Mich. store wasn't halal as advertised.  The lawsuit alleged that Ahmed bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald's but found it wasn't halal — meaning it didn't meet Islamic requirements for preparing food.

Sharia amputations in Mali: "This is in the Koran. That's why we do it.".  While Muslim spokesmen in the West do their best to convince us that the Qur'an doesn't mean what it plainly says, the Islamic supremacists in Mali have no interest in such elaborate games of deception.

Sharia Honor Code: "Buried alive," Man's eyes gouged out over suspicion.  More of that super-special, better-than-yours Islamic justice under the sharia.

Saudi Arabia: 41 people arrested for "plotting to celebrate Christmas".  Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places.

Virtually Absent From U.S. Press Coverage of Egypt's Constitution and Referendum: It's About Sharia Law.  As voting on Egypt's constitution begins, an Associated Press story this morning by Aya Batrawy and Sarah El Deeb typifies how the U.S. press is only nibbling around the edges of its content.

Michele Bachmann says Obama wants to 'lift up the Islamists' and allow Sharia law in America.  Representative Michele Bachmann has claimed that Barack Obama is determined 'to lift up the Islamists' and bow to their 'ultimate demand' of imposing Sharia law on America. [...] In an extended on-air conversation with conservative radio hosts Jan Markell and Eric Barger, Bachmann contended that Obama was endangering the United States and Israel by supporting radical Islamists.

The Coming Sharia State of Egypt.  Egypt has now a modern pharaoh, named Muhammad Morsi, and with him as the sole ruler, the country will ultimately become an official Sharia state.  Sharia is already enforced to some degree, but now that the Muslim Brotherhood is expanding its power, it will implement the edicts of its constitution, the Koran, to is fullest capacity.

The Benghazi Slingshot.  Some brave thinkers recognize that beneath the intrigue surrounding the Benghazi tragedy lie the traces of something much larger and far more dangerous. [...] The information offered by the experts suggests, to put it very simply, that the Middle East is rapidly unifying and heading toward a strict application of sharia; that sharia is a totalitarian form of government utterly incompatible with American ideas of freedom and liberty; and, as Diana West noted, U.S. policy is "making the world safe for sharia," as opposed to keeping the world, and specifically America, safe.  In Benghazi, that policy proved fatal.

More about the Benghazi scandal.
