The U.S. Constitution versus Islamic Sharia Law.

There is a legal battle going on in America today between those who wish to protect our laws and freedoms as defined in the United States Constitution and those who represent the political goals of Islam to enforce Islamic Sharia Law upon Muslim interests in America. The Constitution is the Supreme law in America and is equally applied to everyone who resides here regardless of ethnic origin or religious affiliation (or lack of one). Whenever an immigrant comes to America they must take an Oath of Allegiance to abide by the laws of our country before they can become United States citizens. This is the exact oath as prescribed by Federal law; 8 C.F.R. Part 337 (2008):

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.

This Oath of Allegiance has been in effect since the American Revolution. The first officially recorded Oaths of Allegiance were made on May 30, 1778 at Valley Forge. It was General George Washington who insisted upon an oath of allegiance from his troops and ordered that no one but an American be placed on guard.

But today we have a group of people who desire to have a different set of laws apply to them in America. They are Muslims who follow the political/religious movement called Islam and their law is called Sharia. The Islamic cult does not recognize any form of government instituted by man, only a government that follows the laws of Allah. Such is the government of Saudi Arabia that forbids the existence of any religion other than Islam and arrests and prosecutes anyone who wears a cross or carries a bible. Muslims appearing in various courts in America have asked to have their Sharia laws applied to them in place of our civil and criminal laws. This has become so commonplace that some states legislatures have begun to worry that there would be two different sets of laws and Sharia would become a substitute for the Constitution. The state of Oklahoma passed such a law that would forbid courts within the state to implement any religious or international law and the U.S. Court of Appeals agreed with lawyers representing the Hamas terrorist supporting group CAIR to overturn the Oklahoma law because it would discriminate against Muslims.

Sharia law declares that there are two different classes of people, those who believe in Islam and those who do not, and they do not apply the laws equally. While equality is one of the foundations of U.S. law, a non-Muslim, under Sharia, is not allowed to inherit any part of the estate of a deceased Muslim. Under Sharia law a Muslim is permitted to commit acts of violence that is not permitted in civil law and this was brought out in a New Jersey court that initially ruled a Muslim man could beat his wife. Sharia law forbids freedom of speech, treats women as less equal to men in cases of rape and adultery and family disputes. Sharia law calls for the most barbaric and inhumane treatment of anyone convicted for petty crimes of theft with punishments of cutting off hands and feet. Sharia law says that no one may criticize Islam or even use the texts in the Koran or the life of Mohammad that would cause embarrassment to Muslims. In plain language, Sharia law is a total contradiction to the laws of the United States. In the cases of Muslim immigrants who have taken the Oath of Allegiance to become U.S. Citizens, they should all be deported for committing perjury and every Muslim who was born in America should be required to affirm that they will abide by our laws and none other in order to live here. The subject of perjury brings to light another aspect of Islamic law that is the practice of Taqiyya that says it is OK for a Muslim to lie whenever to protect themselves from non-Muslims and to promote the advancement of Islam. For Sharia law to be allowed in our courts it would be virtually impossible to prosecute any Muslim for any crime against a non-Muslim or even against the United States, itself.
