NY Times Sharia Taqiyya

19

The NY Times is at it again — propagandizing Islamic supremacism using the race card (of course) despite the fact that Islam is a religion (and a political system). Are Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, or Wafa Sultan ever given the opportunity to opine in the Times? Never. Do defenders of freedom get $15,000 at universities, like the radical imam Rauf?

America, this is war — and you are the target.

Op-Ed Contributor Defend Muslims, Defend America By Aziz Huq, NY Times

WITH an eye toward the 2012 elections, legislators in six states have been debating laws explicitly prohibiting courts from considering or using Sharia law, with 14 more looking at wider bans on “foreign law.” They’re taking a clear cue from Oklahoma’s wildly popular Sharia ban, which voters approved as a state constitutional amendment last year by more than 70 percent.

Such laws are discriminatory and pointless.

That's like saying that the Constitution is pointless.

Civil liberties groups are fighting them in court and calling on state legislators to abandon such bills. But there is an additional reason everyone, including would-be proponents of the laws and the federal government, should oppose them: they pose a significant threat to national security.

More threats? This reminds me of the threat made by Imam Rauf. He said that if we didn't build the 15-story mega mosque at ground zero, the jihadists would attack us.

To begin with, the bans’ justifications are thin. Despite the worries voiced by candidates in the recent Republican candidates’ debate in New Hampshire, no state, county or municipality is about to realign its laws with religious doctrine, Islamic or otherwise. Nor does any state or federal court today in Oklahoma, or anywhere else, need to enforce a foreign rule repugnant to public policy. Under the legal system’s well-established “choice of law” doctrines, the courts are already unlikely to help out someone who claims their religion allows, say, the subordination or mistreatment of women.

Yes, exactly. These bans do not impact civil matters.

Instead, the bans would deprive Muslims of equal access to the law. A butcher would no longer be able to enforce his contract for halal meat — contracts that, like deals for kosher or other faith-sanctioned foods, are regularly enforced around the country. Nor could a Muslim banker seek damages for violations of a financial instrument certified as “Sharia compliant” since it pays no interest.

This is a lie.

Moreover, these bans increase bias among the public by endorsing the idea that Muslims are second-class citizens. They encourage and accelerate both the acceptability of negative views of Muslims and the expression of those negative views by the public and government agencies like the police.

Muslims second class citizens? Where? Just the opposite. They demand special privileges and special rights on a daily basis.

Such indignities arise amid a pattern of growing animus toward American Muslims. Reports of employment discrimination against Muslims to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which declined after a post-9/11 peak, have recently surged. Gallup, Pew and ABC polls confirm a new spike in anti-Muslim views. Most troubling, tallies of hate crimes collected by nongovernmental organizations show the same trend.

More lies. FBI stats show these "hate crimes" are at their lowest since 911. More Muslim victimhood lies to get special treatment.

In this context, bans like the one in Oklahoma will serve to chill cooperation by the Muslim-American community with counterterrorism efforts. This makes sense: in such an environment, it would be fair for Muslims to pause before, say, passing on a lead to the police, worrying about whether the police would then look at them with suspicion as well.

Muslims won't fight terror because of anti-sharia bans? Huh? They will compromise America and risk thousands dead because …. they want sharia?

But the likelihood of such a chill is also supported by four large, random-sample surveys that I conducted with two colleagues, Tom Tyler and Stephen Schulhofer. Our data, collected from Muslims and non-Muslims in New York and London, suggest that the experience and perception of private discrimination have a significant negative effect on cooperation.

This guy's random sampling? Who exactly? His mom? Purely anecdoctal and biased.

This not only affects everyday public safety, but also the interaction necessary to gather information about self-radicalization and domestic efforts to recruit terrorists. After all, it’s simply impossible for the government to gather all that information. For that it must rely on the public, both as a filter and as an aid in interpreting it. If the government lacks strong ties to the Muslim-American community, that kind of filter falls apart.

To prevent the erosion of such support, the Justice Department should better publicize its support for a pending challenge to the Oklahoma amendment. It should also announce that it will challenge similar measures as violations of the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion. Doing so would not only protect the rights of Muslim-Americans, but also send a signal that they can rely on the federal government’s support.

To be sure, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has taken steps against anti-Muslim bias, for example by supporting a California schoolteacher’s suit challenging her dismissal for taking time off to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. But these steps are inadequate compared to the scope of public and private discrimination facing Muslim-Americans.

Yes, to be sure, Holder is in the pocket of Muslim Brotherhood groups.

America has been here before. In 1952, Attorney General James P. McGranery filed a legal brief for the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, in part, he said, out of national security concerns. “Racial discrimination furnishes grist for Communist propaganda mills,” he said, and “raises doubts even among friendly nations as to the intensity of our devotion to the democratic faith.”

How dare Aziz Huq compare the aims and subversive agend of the Islamic supremacist groups with 1952 Brown vs. BoE? My Gd, they have no shame.

McGranery’s insight remains true today. The federal government needs to do more to defend equal access to the law regardless of faith. To do so is not simply to uphold our core values — it is also to work to improve our nation’s security.

Core values? That's exactly what we trying to protect — our core values. Diminishment and dehumanization of women is not a core value. Jew-hatred is not a core value. Ethnic cleasning is not a core value. Restriction of free speech is not a core value. Clitorectomies are not a core value. Forced marriage is not a core value. Polygamy is not a core value. Sharia is not a core value.

If their laws are not supreme, they consider themselves “second class” citizens.

Remember “one of these things is not like the other”?
1. Women’s rights 2. Gay rights 3. Opposition to the death penalty 4. Equal justice 5. Sharia law
By embracing Islam the Left has selected the means of its own extinction. Stick a fork in it.

Why will Pamela never write the word God? I’ve noticed it a lot on this website. Why not just write God instead of Gd or G_d or G-d or whatever else it is? It’s simple, God.

The operative takkiya term: “legal pluralism”
Perfect for leftists to run with. Having one law for all is “undemocratic” .

I was incredibly pissed about that “opinion” in the Sunday Times, and more so because there was no way for people to post any kind of response to this CRAP posing as opinion. That should be a loud call to send plenty of letters to the editor addressing all the points, as Robert has done at Jihad Watch. A full blown miss information campaign is on and it has to be addressed. My Dad used to say that silence means you accept whatever is being said.
If there’s no response; many people who read it and know NOTHING about the threat SHARIA poses to our way of life will accept it as truth just because of the perceived respectability of the source. Having credentials doesn’t necessarily mean that you are telling the truth. Sad to say, a well trained person can tell a story in such a way that it can be perceived as true; when it’s actually false. All to the detriment of the gullible well meaning people out there.

For anyone not yet conviced that Fareed Zakaria, leading advisor to president Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama Davis, or whatever the hell his read name is, dahling of the MuslimSuckupMedia and author of “The Post-American World” is a seditious little pile of raghead camel dung — check this out.

We need to change our constitution because it’s out of date, says Fareed. Is he suggesting it to his pal Barack as a possible project for those 4 years of unbounded power, free from worry about re-election, that they are looking forward to after 2012?

“How dare Aziz Huq compare the aims and subversive agenda of the Islamic supremacist groups with 1952 Brown vs. BoE? My Gd, they have no shame.”
Alas, the Islamic supremacists are by no means the only supremacists to make bogus “civil rights” arguments to promote and advance their subversive agenda. So have the homosexual supremacists to justify forcing “gay marriage” and the rest of the radical homosexual agenda (including teaching homosexuality, and their particular sexual practices such as fisting, to our children) down everybody’s throats. Never mind that radical gay activists have not had police dogs sicced on them, nor being set on with fire hoses, as had happened to civil-rights demonstrators in the ’60’s; indeed, the media have been as much their de facto lapdogs as the so-called “fourth estate” has been the jihadis’.

There is a silent war against Women & its femminists with other lefties, who have sealed this betrayal
By making Abortion a fetish.
This is just another manifistation of the crimminal behavior of not only Islamists but their Western lapdogs.
Who kill their women children like you put down sick dogs.
Since the late 1970s, 163 million female babies have been aborted by parents seeking sons
In nature, 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. This ratio is biologically ironclad. Between 104 and 106 is the normal range, and that’s as far as the natural window goes. Any other number is the result of unnatural events.
Yet today in India there are 112 boys born for every 100 girls. In China, the number is 121—though plenty of Chinese towns are over the 150 mark. China’s and India’s populations are mammoth enough that their outlying sex ratios have skewed the global average to a biologically impossible 107. But the imbalance is not only in Asia. Azerbaijan stands at 115, Georgia at 118 and Armenia at 120.

Shariah law does not validate each individual. Only collective groups.
Since groups are merely verbal conveniences, and individuals are the only
humans, where is Reality in Shariah? Tooth-fairy? Make-believe?
You’ve got it! There aint no such!!!
It’s Mo’s pipe-dream. “We want a religion/politic of our own.”
Inferiority loud and clear!

They start doing what all the sad pathetic men in the West have done for years and import them? In would be fair I guess, we imported their women so soon they’ll have to import ours. Eventually there will be no more so-called “races” to worry about, we’ll all be one big huge race of one colour. Gees that must frighten you.
