Why Sharia Law Threatens America
By a courageous woman who's lived under Sharia, Wafa Sultan.
Under Sharia, says Sultan, "Women and minorities are deprived of the human rights we in the rights take for granted."
For her, personally, in considering to leave her native Syria, "Contemplating to be homeless in America would be more attractive than living as a woman under Sharia..."
"Under Sharia gays are to be killed and women are considered inferior."
If Sharia would be imposed, she says...goodbye alcohol, pork or bacon, birth control pills. And hello, more honor killings. Women are forced into marriage. People from other religions are persecuted.
"Muslim men are allowed to beat their wives..."
And more...
What can we do? "You can learn about Sharia and educate others in your community about it," and tell politicians and the news media your concerns about Sharia in a Western country.
We all need to take action, she says. All of us who live in the United States and believe in the Constitution, she says. "Sharia is a form of slavery. Sharia has no place in the West."
America has given her her life, she says.
I was in a conversation yesterday that had some co-workers saying that they thought that the Christian, Jew and Muslim text were equivalent.
Unfortunately, I don't have the link to to the Koran's convert or kill infidel memorized. If anyone has it handy, please post it.
One lady was along the lines of "kill one innocent". She was having problems understanding it was "kill one innocent Muslim".

It's Surah 9:5
"Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

Here's another lovely passage from the Hadith:
“The Day of Resurrection will not arrive until you make war on the Jews, until a Jew will hide behind a rock or tree, and the rock or tree will say: Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, here is a Jew behind me, kill him!’”

Jihadwatch (and a bunch of others)has this article: Saudi Woman Beats Up Virtue Cop. I'd post the link, but I haven't learned how yet.
Great story, I sure hope it's true!

That's the Jihadwatch link to "Pakistan: Thousands rally against Facebook because of Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" and some ugly and threatening photos.

This is why I have an issue with the nicking the clitoris decision. It's encroaching on our standards, and eroding them, which I don't think is a good idea.
