Only in America could a radical Muslim group be granted permits to rally at the White House and call for Sharia law to be implemented in the United States.
“Preparations are now underway for the ‘Shariah4America’ project that will inshaa’allah (God willing) become an unanticipated wild card for the West, galvanizing the immense support for Shari’ah in the Middle East and bringing it directly to the doorsteps of the United States of America,” Shariah4America posted on their website.
A Washington D.C. think tank, Council on Foreign Relations explores the Sharia, or Islamic law, connection in most Muslim countries’ legal code.
“There are so many varying interpretations of what Sharia actually means that in some places it can be incorporated into political systems relatively easily,” says Steven A. Cook, senior CFR fellow for Middle Eastern studies. “Some (Sharia) interpretations are used to justify cruel punishments such as amputation and stoning as well as unequal treatment of women in inheritance, dress, and independence. The debate is growing as to whether Sharia can coexist with secularism, democracy, or even modernity.”
With this in mind radio and television pundits are already commenting on the radical Muslim-backed rally.
“On Thursday there is a different march scheduled in the District of Columbia and this one boldly declares its goal of bringing Sharia law directly to the doorstep of the United States of America,” said Fox’s Glenn Beck.
