Sharia Law Part Two: Life Under Sharia

Sharia Law Part Two: Life under Sharia

There’s nothing wrong with Sharia law that a little updating wouldn’t cure. Okay, a LOT of updating.

I will leave the detailed nuances of Sharia to Muslim and Western scholars and theologians. Suffice to say Sharia is the sacred law of Islam passed down through divine revelation in the Qu’ran or Koran and the writings of the Prophet Muhammad collected in the Sunnah. Sharia is subject to interpretation by the two main sects of Islam, the Sunni and the Shi’a, and different Muslim countries also have differing interpretations.

Part One of this series explored the rapid spread of Muslims and Islam in Western Europe particularly where Muslims and the Muslim faith is inexorably gaining ascendancy and where it is already influencing life and public policy in that area of the world.

The power of Muslims and Sharia is also gaining strength in America although at a slower pace simply due to the breadth and population of our nation.

See an article on “Islam Will Rule the World” on Jihadwatch.com which includes this excerpt from a possibly authentic “constitution” for the future “Islamic Republic of the USA:” http://bit.ly/b4PhQH

“We will fight infidel to death.
Meanwhile, American laws will protect us.
Democrats and Leftist will support us.
UNO will legitimize us.
CAIR will incubate us.
ACLU will empower us.
Western Universities will shelter us.
Hollywood will love us.”

No matter whether that constitution is a hoax or not, it reflects the thinking of the resurgent Islamic movement dedicated to revenge for everything from the Crusades to hundreds of years of presumed and actual slights of their religion.

With a title that could be taken from a Letterman skit, Americanthinker.com lists “The Top 10 Reasons Why Sharia Is Bad for All Societies.”
