Author says opposing Shariah law is like opposing Jewish law. (para. 4)
9/2/11, "(NYT) — "More than a dozen American states are considering outlawing aspects of Shariah law. Some of these efforts would curtail Muslims from settling disputes over dietary laws and marriage through religious arbitration, while others would go even further in stigmatizing Islamic life: a bill recently passed by the Tennessee General Assembly equates Shariah with a set of rules that promote “the destruction of the national existence of the United States.”
Supporters of these bills contend that such measures are needed to protect the country against homegrown terrorism and safeguard its Judeo-Christian values. The Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has said that “Shariah is a mortal threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it.”
This is exactly wrong. The crusade against Shariah undermines American democracy, ignores our country’s successful history of religious tolerance and assimilation, and creates a dangerous divide between America and
- its fastest-growing religious minority.

Whites are fleeing the city. Something like 400,000 to 500,000 are now Muslims and they have built hundreds of Mosques and their music floats over the city of Detroit. We now have honor killings, female genital mutilation, arranged marriages and schools where only Arabic is spoken. Detroit is about 83 percent minorities and about
90 percent of them are on welfare."...

Pamela Geller notes
"Rauf does not and cannot point to a form of Sharia that does not contain the mandates for stoning, amputation, etc. So how firm and honest can his assurance that Muslims have no intention of bringing all that here really be? We're already seeing honor killings and female genital mutilation in America. Why shouldn't the rest follow when all of this is justified by Sharia?"...
