Mainstream Muslim Organization Says Muslims Can't Work In Legal System That Doesn't Come From Allah
There's this edict from a mainstream Muslim organization cautioning American Muslims against working in law enforcement in countries which do not rule by Allah's dictates -- lest they gain love and respect for secular laws.
Via Jihadwatch, quoting Translating Jihad:
The Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) writes:...there are many evils which result from working in law enforcement, the greatest of which is compelling people to obey rulings which do not come from Allah. It could also cause reverence and love for these rulings to enter the heart of the police officer, and perhaps spread to the hearts of his family members and other Muslims who see him at the mosque or even Muslims in general. They could lose conviction of governance by Allah, and become pleased with a legal system that does not come from Allah.AMJA provided some allowances for Muslims to work in certain law enforcement professions, fearing that a lack of Muslim representation in this sector could bring negative effects for the Muslim community. They also reasoned that Muslims working as police officers might be able to use their positions to help the Muslim community, such as helping out with traffic near their mosques and protecting their mosques. Still, there was concern that some of these might be required to enforce laws contrary to the shari'a, such as "arrest[ing] a Muslim man whose wife said he 'raped' her."
Appalling.
Hey, but 'Co-Exist' right?
How are those bumper stickers working out for you?
Nothing to see here, move along.

No problem, they took an oath to uphold the law. Except, it's OK to lie to infidels.
Why would anyone want to even try to deal with this? If someone wants to self select out of a certain profession, I am fine with that. That bit about enforcing the law is not some new requirement. Do the job you are being paid to do, or quit.

But hey, "the Law" is Sharia, not that twaddle the townsfolk set up!

So they can't work in law enforcement? Sounds like a win-win to me.
