Sharia v. the Constitution
Jan 5, 2016 10:04:21   #

In light of the sharia encroachment campaign to bend the First Amendment to the repressive blasphemy standards of Islamic law (the subject of my columns today and over the weekend), it is very much worth noting Steve’s unearthing of a 1955 statement by the legendary Robert Jackson – the former Supreme Court justice and Nuremberg prosecutor, who was United States attorney general under FDR:

In any broad sense, Islamic law offers the American lawyer a study in dramatic contrasts. Even casual acquaintance and superficial knowledge – all that most of us at bench or bar will be able to acquire – reveal that its striking features relative to our law are not likenesses but inconsistencies, not similarities but contrarieties. In its source, its scope and its sanctions, the law of the Middle East is the antithesis of Western law.

The passage is part of a Forward Justice Jackson wrote to a book called Law in the Middle East. He thought it was a subject we needed to be informed about.

Today, we don’t want to know about sharia – not the government, the commentariat, or the popular culture. As noted here time and again, foreign policy of the United States has for a generation proceeded on the absurd assumption that sharia and Western liberalism are perfectly, seamlessly compatible.

Indeed, that is the operating assumption of the new constitutions for Afghanistan and Iraq that the United States government helped write – constitutions that impossibly purport to protect civil rights while simultaneously enshrining sharia as a principal source of law. In Afghanistan, the government has, for example, convicted former Muslims for apostasy under the new Constitution – the apostates escaped the death penalty only by being whisked out of the country. In Iraq, since the American invasion and the new constitution it ushered in, the Christian population has decreased by more than 70 percent (from about 1 million down to around 250,000 to 300,000, according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, 2015 Report, pp. 95-96). While the rise of ISIS has exacerbated religious persecution in Iraq, it was rampant even before the terror network came along. (See id. at 97: “The Iraqi government, under both former Prime Minister al-Maliki and current Prime Minister Haideral-Abadi, also has committed human rights abuses, including torture and extrajudicial k*****gs of Sunni prisoners and civilians.”)

Tellingly, Islamic s*********ts fully comprehend the fundamental incompatibility between Islamic and Western standards. In Cairo in 1990, the 57-government Organization of Islamic Cooperation (then known as the Organization of the Islamic Conference) issued its “Declaration on Human Rights in Islam.” This sharia s*********t proclamation was issued because the “Universal” Declaration of Human Rights presumptuously issued by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948 was not consistent with Islamic norms.

Steve observes that the deeply flawed assumption of compatibility between sharia and the Constitution that undergirds our policy flows from “an absence of functional knowledge of Islamic law in America’s halls of power.” Why don’t officials inform themselves? Because, he opines, “our national security leaders have taken active measures to suppress both analysis and discussion of the topic, under threat of harsh sanctions.”

There was a time, not so long ago, when America’s national security leaders and legal titans grasped the need to be informed about Islamic law as it actually exists, not as they wished it were. Until we recover that understanding, we will be able neither to protect ourselves nor to know how and when to intervene in the world’s most volatile region.

With the iron fist of AIPAC controlling the agenda of Congress and the Executive, the claim that the U.S. is under some sort of threat of sharia law is pure propaganda designed to maintain the clash of civilizations. Americans are conditioned not to criticize Jews for fear of being labeled "anti-Semite".

IN FACT, JEWS CONTROL THE USA. Media, Federal (not) Reserve (none), Wall Street, Hollywood, The Pentagon, the Supreme Court, most think tanks/foundations are populated or entirely controlled by the Khazarian mafia.

So, how many of you know what Noahide Law is? The implementation of Noahide Law is a fact--not the fantasy of propaganda about sharia law.

The last syllable of Al ghouti's real name probably ends in berg, witz or stein. His agenda is the same as that of Jonah Goldberg.
"Joshua Ryne Goldberg (born 1994 or 1995) is a Jewish American man who was arrested by the U.S. government for allegedly distributing information about bomb-making techniques as part of an attempt to incite acts of terrorism on the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. He reportedly did this by posing as a Lebanese-Australian jihadist affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS).

Goldberg first received widespread media attention under his alleged Twitter handle "Australi Witness" following the Curtis Culwell Center attack, a terrorist attack on a Garland, Texas exhibit featuring images of Muhammad in May 2015, in which two assailants died in a shootout with police. The "Australi Witness" persona, had, posing as a Perth jihadist, called for an attack on, and posted maps of, the center where the exhibit was taking place, and praised the jihadist attackers in its aftermath, and was retweeted by one of the assailants before the attack.

Goldberg also received widespread media coverage for his other alleged activities as an online troll."

What occurs in another, sovereign, Nation, is none of our business - unless we MAKE it our business - and history clearly shows that the bulk of the mayhem in the Middle East - is a direct result of our making it our business what goes on there.

My advice to ALL Americans, is to stop looking overseas for solutions to our problems and start looking next door. OUR problems begin and end - at our own borders - which are as wide open as the EU's are. We are responsible ONLY for our own behavior - and we already have a clear set of rules to guide us as to how we should act. We do NOT need to modify those rules, to justify how we WANT to act - as that negates the very reason those rules were written all those years ago.

I don't think the rules have been changed to justify how "we" want to act. The rules have been changed to accommodate how a small group wants to act. Most of the small group were members of The project for a New American Century. (PNAC).

It doesn't matter who, or for what reason, as NO ONE should be modifying the existing rules for ANYBODY - and that includes the anti - American "citizens united" BS - which modified the rules to benefit corporations and the politicians beholden to them.

I Don't think the Koch brothers were in on the planning and execution of 9/11. Although I do think the Kochs approved of the plan since they haven't come forward to expose those who did plan it. Most of the valid evidence points to the PNACers as being heavily involved.

I would bet that Al ghouti is a z*****t shill here at OPP. There are many of them, apparently.

Jewish-dominated mass media features such 'actors' in propaganda pieces about "Islamic radicals". For weeks, these "F**e Al Qaeda Actors" were the mass media darlings--the poster boys of Islamic radicals--AND THEY ARE JEWS.

So, you are a troll who uses veiled threats.

Attacks on me enhance the message.

There's an old saying "you can't take it with you".

The stupidity of your footnote says it all! By the way, what do you do for the good of others? By the sounds of things you are a taker, a moocher, a useless pos! As for myself, I donate 4 mos. at various Shriner hospitals and often St. Judes. That amounts to about 300+ orthopedic procedures a year, and that has been done for over 15 years now.
One thing that you said is true " you can't take it with you", but you can make sure that it doesn't fall in the hands of some useless pos!

"By the sounds of things" in your own head.

"you are a taker, a moocher, a useless pos!"

My first and subsequent reply in this topic destroy your premise--and now you drop supporting your premise to call me names and make big assumptions about what I'm about in life.

If I'm so stupid, the readers will figure that out. At this point, your bad behavior doesn't give you credibility.

As you are quick to judge based upon very little information, I thought you would appreciate this art work. Think "projection" and "rose-colored glasses" as you 'nail' (judge) others.
