European Court to Decide if Islamic Sharia Law Can Override a Nation's Civil Law | CBN News

European Court to Decide if Islamic Sharia Law Can Override a Nation's Civil Law | CBN News: "Can Islamic religious sharia law override a country's domestic law in Europe? 
See the source imageThat's a question the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights is weighing.
...Christian Concern, a non-profit organization based in London, intervened in the case "because of the importance of the case in European law and its implications for countries across Europe, including the UK," according to a news release from the organization.
...Dieppe said an estimated 85 sharia courts are already operating in the UK.

  • "The use of Sharia has led to the promotion of parallel societies within the United Kingdom," he told CBN News in a statement. "Sharia itself has disproportionately (a)ffected women and gives no legal rights to non-Muslims."
  • "The United Kingdom has also become the European hub for Islamic finance," he continued..."

The case, Molla Sali v. Greece, deals with a dispute over an inheritance. 
After her husband died, Sali inherited his entire estate under his will written according to Greek law.
However, two sisters of the husband say sharia law should govern how the inheritance is divvied up because the man was a member of the Muslim community in Thrace, and the mufti should oversee that process. 
A mufti is a Muslim legal expert in religious law.
...Rulings handed down by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights cannot be appealed. 
The Court is expected to issue its decision in the next few months."

Alabama Joins Wave of States Banning Sharia Law

Alabama Joins Wave of States Banning Sharia Law | Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs:
"Alabama has become the seventh state to ban Sharia law via a ballot measure that prohibits its courts from considering foreign, international or religious law.
With 79 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, the ballot measure, called the “American and Alabama Laws and Alabama Courts Amendment,” passed overwhelmingly with 72 percent of voters in support.
The ban clarifies the state constitution to say that other state laws or foreign law cannot be used in ways that violate state law or rights under the Alabama Constitution or the U.S. Constitution.
In 2012, an unsuccessful ballot measure, also proposed by Republican state Sen. Gerald Allen, would have explicitly banned state courts from implementing Islamic Shariah law.

The Latest State to Try to Ban Foreign Law in CourtsSix states have similar foreign law bans, with North Carolina’s enacted most recently last year. 
The others are Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota and Tennessee.
Missouri also passed a measure banning foreign law last year, but Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed the bill because of its potential impact on international adoptions.
Oklahoma’s voters approved a ban, which explicitly referred to Sharia law, in 2010. But this year, it was struck down by a federal appeals court for being discriminatory.
Still, the issue has permeated across the country:
All but 16 states have considered such a measure in the past five years."

Maxine Waters Thinks Sharia Law And The US Constitution Go Together Like Peas And Carrots

Maxine Waters Thinks Sharia Law And The US Constitution Go Together Like Peas And Carrots - Chicks on the Right:
"Why is this lunatic in Congress?  
Why?
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) spoke at a townhall hosted by the Islamic Society of Orange County, California, and suggested that Sharia Law is totally compatible with our US Constitution.
FOR REAL. 
She spends most of her presentation talking about how domestic terrorism plots by right wing groups is a growing problem, but yeah - Sharia? 
Totally cool. 
When you hear bad stuff about Sharia, it's just scare mongering, according to Maxine.
She closes by saying "Sharia = Islam and Muslims." 
And suggests that when legislators vote against Sharia Law infiltrating our court systems, that it's basically the same as a vote against Muslims.
She says this indignantly, you guys. 
As if the right thing to do is scrap our Constitution altogether in favor of Sharia Law. 
Because, you know, they go together like peas and carrots."

Saudi Billionaire Buys Yale A New Sharia Law Center

Saudi Billionaire Buys Yale A New Sharia Law Center | The Daily Caller
Yale Law School, the most elite law school in the country, has received a $10 million donation to establish a Sharia law center.
The Abdullah S. Kamel Center for the Study of Islamic Law and Civilization is named for its patron, a billionaire Saudi banker who serves as CEO of the Dallah al Baraka Holding Company, a large privately-held multinational conglomerate founded by his father. Its purpose will be to bring experts on Islam and Islamic law (also known as Sharia) to Yale for lectures, seminars, guest professorships, and fellowships.
It isn’t the first time Kamel, who has an estimated worth of nearly $20 billion, has given money to Yale.
He also sponsored a popular three-year lecture series on Islamic topics which presaged the creation of the new law center.
Yale also isn’t a pioneer in having an Islamic legal program;
Harvard Law School has had its own Islamic Legal Studies Program since the 1990s.
Still, Yale says in establishing the center it hopes to become one of the top centers of Islamic legal scholarship on Earth.
...Islamic programs and endowed professorships on U.S. campuses financed by wealthy Saudis are an increasingly common sight..."

Chicago protest against Sharia law outnumbered by counter-protesters - Chicago Tribune

Chicago protest against Sharia law outnumbered by counter-protesters - Chicago Tribune
"A small but emotional rally billed as opposing Islamic Sharia law downtown Saturday sparked a counter-protest nearly twice as large, causing a phalanx of police officers to act as a barrier between the two groups to prevent any fights.
About 30 people gathered at northwest corner of Wacker Drive and Wabash Avenue,  carrying signs that read “No killing Gays” and “Sharia abuses women.”
The group was split into two factions.
One group of protesters along Wabash Avenue hoped to bring awareness to specific Sharia practices they claimed oppressed Muslim women and children.
Image result for Sharia lawThey wanted to distance themselves from what they said was a more “radical” faction –protesters gathered near the Heald Square Monument, whose anti-Muslim rhetoric was met with anger and frustration by counter-protesters.
Those who led the counter-protest, which included about 60 people, said the anti-Sharia protesters demonized Islam and created unnecessary fears about the religion.
The counter-protesters gathered on the northeast side of the intersection, banging drums and crying out “Racists, racists go home!” and “When Muslims are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!”
When they realized the anti-Sharia protest was growing in numbers, counter-protesters crossed the intersection and moved onto their corner, so that the two groups were demonstrating face-to-face.
...The Southern Poverty Law Center has called Act for America an anti-Muslim hate group and recognized that its protests were attracting anti-government and far-right extremists..."

Montana Democrats Vote Against Bill Banning Sharia Law, Call It 'Repugnant' - Breitbart

Montana Democrats Vote Against Bill Banning Sharia Law, Call It 'Repugnant' - Breitbart:
"Democrats in Montana have opposed a bill banning the use of foreign law in its state courts on the grounds that such legislation would target Muslims.
Senate Bill 97, introduced by Keith Regier (R-Kalispell) bans the application of foreign law in Montana’s courts, with the debate particularly focused on Sharia Law, a form of Islamic law typically used in the Middle East.
Although the bill passed on party lines by 56-44, Democrats claimed it was designed to target Muslim communities.
...Bills specifically targeting Sharia Law have passed in states such as North Carolina, Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Tennessee. 
The bill will now be passed on to Gov. Steve Bullock (D) for signature or veto.

Oklahoma Anti-Sharia Law Thrown Out by a Federal Judge |

Oklahoma Anti-Sharia Law Thrown Out by a Federal Judge |:
"Tulsa World reports:
An Oklahoma constitutional amendment that would bar the state’s courts from considering or using Sharia law was ruled unconstitutional Thursday by a federal judge in Oklahoma City.
In finding the law in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause, U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange issued a permanent injunction prohibiting the certification of the results of the state question that put the Sharia law ban into the state constitution.
“While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the Court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual’s constitutional rights,” the judge wrote.
How can a law that is being called upon to protect the Constitution of the United States be considered “unconstitutional?”

I would say "This defies any logic at all" but so much of today's news is illogical.
We are doomed......

FAU Professor Praises Severing Hands Under Sharia Law

FAU Professor Praises Severing Hands Under Sharia Law | The Daily Caller
"At a panel discussion on Islam and terrorism at Florida Atlantic University, a professor on the taxpayer-funded school’s faculty praised the Sharia law practice of cutting off the hands of criminals who steal.
The words of wisdom concerning the notorious Islamic penal code came from Bassem Al Halabi, an electrical engineering and computer science professor at Florida Atlantic University. Florida
In countries in the Middle East where Sharia law is not practiced, Al Halabi said, people “die in dozens and hundreds every day because of organized crime.
People kill people — other people — for steal [sic] pizza for 10 dollars.
So when Islamic Sharia is saying about capital punishment — so even though it sounds very severe, but if that is the solution to prevent any crimes, then it still has a lot of rules and regulations.”
Al Halabi then defended cutting off criminals’ hands.
“I will just mention one and stop here, which is: let’s say cutting the hand off a person if they steal,” the Florida Atlantic professor continued.
“It sounds very severe.
It sounds very barbaric, I know.
But if it takes one or two people to have their hands cut off and then there’s no more stealing in the whole nation, that’s a much better resolution than having hundreds of people die every day.”
Al Halabi also assured attendees at the event that “Sharia is being practiced in the United States.”
“We at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, we practice Sharia — if someone doesn’t know,” he said..."

Seattle mayor offers plan to help followers of Sharia law buy houses

Seattle mayor offers plan to help followers of Sharia law buy houses - Puget Sound Business Journal
For some Muslims, it can be hard to buy a house, and Mayor Ed Murray plans to do something about it.
On Monday, Murray's housing committee released its recommendations for ways the city can increase housing in the city. 
Most ideas were what you'd expect, including increasing the city's housing levy and implementing new rules and regulations to foster development of market-rate and lower-income housing.
One suggestion would help followers of Sharia law buy houses.
That's virtually impossible now because Sharia law prohibits payment of interest on loans.
The 28-member committee recommended the city convene lenders and community leaders to explore options for increasing access to Sharia-compliant loan products.
...It's unclear how many Muslims in Seattle would benefit from Murray's plan.
The Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) estimates more than 30,000 Muslims live in the greater Seattle area, and Chapter Executive Director Arsalan Bukhari on Tuesday said it's "fairly common" for some not to seek loans.

Must read!---First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Sharia Law

First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Sharia Law
"...If you don't have the right to keep and bear arms, you don't have freedom of the press. 
The state cannot protect you.
It can only try to find your assassins.
Liberal democracy is committed to freedom of the press.
Islam is not.
Here is an editorial that was run inUSA Today by a man identified as a teacher of Sharia law in Great Britain.
This man has clearly set forth the principles of Islam as they apply to freedom of the press. He was given freedom of the press by USA Today.
We read: People know the consequences: Opposing view.
He took this opportunity to send us a message about consequences.
Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people's desires....
... Here is the title of the editorial: Why did France allow the tabloid to provoke Muslims?
http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/01/07/islam-allah-muslims-shariah-anjem-choudary-editorials-debates/21417461/
Got it? 
He blamed the French authorities for not passing laws against cartoons ridiculing Mohammed.
Such laws do not exist in Western democracies. 
But Sharia law exists. 
Editors had better get the message.
If you are an editor, and you run cartoons like this, carry a gun. 
Hire guards who carry guns. 
Arm your staff.
Europe will not allow this. 
There is gun control in Europe.
...The level of confrontation has gone up.
The stakes have gone up.
The terrorists are going to get away with this.
Those radical Muslims who are willing to take up machine guns against unarmed employees of publishing houses will see what has happened, and they will cheer in private.
When you're dealing with people who are willing to die in a war, and who see this as a war, there is nothing you can do to stop them if you are unarmed. 
They can kill you at any time if they want to.
All they have to be willing to do is pay the price.
The murderers who killed 12 innocent people have made this clear.
This is not patty-cake. 
The stakes are life and death.

Reverend Franklin Graham Calls for Sharia Law to be Banned in the USA! - Eagle Rising

Reverend Franklin Graham Calls for Sharia Law to be Banned in the USA! - Eagle Rising:

"Some western governments are actually considering allowing Sharia law in certain Muslim communities in their countries—can you believe it? ISIS is imposing Sharia law on hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians who want to be free. Women are oppressed, Christians and minorities are persecuted and murdered, homosexuals are tortured and killed. President Obama seems to be at a loss as to what to do. Pray that God will give him and our leaders wisdom, and pray for all those living under Islam.

 The article from the BBC that he had just read was titled Inside Mosul: What’s life like under Islamic State? It’s a brilliant piece that documents various everyday aspects of life and how different life is under the ISIS terrorists. Here’s a bit of what BBC found in Mosul."

Afghanistan Migration Surging into America; 99% Support Sharia Law

Afghanistan Migration Surging into America; 99% Support Sharia Law - Breitbart:
"Law enforcement sources have identified the gunman in the Orlando terror attack as Omar Mateen, the child of Afghan migrants, according to CBS News.
Between 2001 and 2013, the U.S. permanently resettled nearly 30,000 Afghan migrants on green cards.
According to Pew, nearly all Muslims in Afghanistan (99%) support sharia law as official law.
As legal immigrants, these migrants will be granted lifetime resettlement privileges will be given automatic work permits, welfare access, and the ability to become voting citizens.
Between 2001 and 2013, the United States permanently resettled 1.5 million Muslim immigrants throughout the United States.
In the next five years, without changes to our autopilot visa dispensations, the U.S. will permanently resettle a Muslim population larger than the entire population of Washington D.C..."

Sharia Law in America? It's Not Crazy - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Sharia Law in America? It's Not Crazy - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"But Sharia law has already been implemented in this country.

Are you aware that in New Jersey a judge found that an Islamic man could not be accused of the rape of his wife?  She charged him with rape.  A judge in New Jersey found that he could not be charged with it, much less found guilty, because there's no rape in his religion.  Well, hello.  That's Sharia.  Now, it's not Sharia that has become American law, but it's been implemented.  It's been used."

Sharia Law or One Law for All?

Sharia Law or One Law for All?:
"Here is the fulcrum around which so much of the problem turns: the belief that Islamic law has every right to be put into practice in non-Muslim countries, and the insistence that a parallel, if unequal, legal system can function alongside civil and criminal law codes adhered to by a majority of a country's citizens.
...The greatest expression of this failure to integrate, indeed a determined refusal to do so, may be found in the roughly 750 Muslim-dominated no-go zones in France, which the police, fire brigades, and other representatives of the social order dare not visit for fear of sparking off riots and attacks. Similar zones now exist in other European countries, notably Sweden and Germany.
According to the 2011 British census there are over 100 Muslim enclaves in the country.
As millions of Muslims flow into Europe, some from Syria, others from as far away as Afghanistan or sub-Saharan Africa, several countries are already experiencing high levels of social breakdown..."

Watch: Muslims Were Asked: 'US Constitution Or Sharia?'- Ben Carson's Going To Want To See This

Watch: Muslims Were Asked: 'US Constitution Or Sharia?'- Ben Carson's Going To Want To See This:

"Sharia Law should supersede the U.S. Constitution, said some Muslims when surveyed by Fox News this week.

“The U.S. Constitution comes from people. Sharia Law comes from Allah,” said one man responding to Fox News’ David Webb. “The Constitution governs this country. Sharia Law governs the whole world. Of course it is above.”

Muslims demand Sharia student loans because paying interest goes against Islamic law

Muslims demand Sharia student loans because paying interest goes against Islamic law | Tea Party Crusaders Tea Party Crusaders:
"Muslim groups are calling for a separate student loan system because the interest due to be charged will conflict with rules of Sharia law.
The changes to tuition fees, which come into force next year, will see students charged higher rates of interest on the loans they take out to pay for university.
Until now they have paid the market rate of inflation but the reforms mean students who go on to earn more than £21,000 will have to pay interest of up to 3 per cent.
But in some interpretations of Sharia law, which is Islam’s legal system and governs every aspect of Muslim life, loans are forbidden.
The National Union of Students has said it could be two years before an alternative system is worked out, leaving some Muslims fearing they cannot go on to further education."

The religion of peace-----Saudi Sharia court sentences gang rape victim to 200 lashes

Saudi Sharia court sentences gang rape victim to 200 lashes
lashing2
“According to Sharia Law, a Saudi Arabian woman must be accompanied by a male guardian at all times in public, something the 19 year old victim did not obey when she went to meet a friend, according to website Live Buddhism.” Not just a “Saudi Arabian woman,” but any woman. Since the victim did not do this, she is at fault. This is Islamic law. It is barbaric and inhumane, but it is Islamic law.
“Saudi Court Sentences Gang Rape Victim to 200 Lashes And Custodial Sentence,” by A.B. Sanderson, Breitbart, March 5, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
The victim of a violent gang rape has been sentenced by a Saudi Arabian court to 200 lashes and six months in jail for the crimes of speaking to the press and indecency. 
According to Sharia Law, a Saudi Arabian woman must be accompanied by a male guardian at all times in public, something the 19 year old victim did not obey when she went to meet a friend, according to website Live Buddhism."
