- Islam and
Sharia Law
Signs of the Dark Ages?
© 2015
Islam is in the news every day. You may have heard the phrase “Sharia Law” mentioned in connection with Islam, but it’s likely you didn’t know what the phrase meant.
Sharia law is the law of Islam, and it is practiced in Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia. It is also practiced in non-Islamic countries among Muslim populations.
Sharia Law is a very repressive law that many Muslims believe and follow. It is, in no way, kind to women, and in today’s society, to be blunt, It sounds like something from the Dark Ages. Here are some of the main tenets of Sharia Law:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad could have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife, but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be Halal.
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• The list goes on.
As you can tell, Sharia Law is very repressive and punitive. Few civilized countries would even consider following anything as backwards as Sharia Law.
That said, many American Muslims are decent people. However, if they believe in the Qu’ran, also spelled, Koran, it is a bible that clearly is anti-Christian and anti-anybody else who’s not a Muslim. Read it for yourself.
It’s very important for Americans to know these truths about Islam. Our agenda is peace, there agenda is the opposite of peace.
- IS ISLAM
A PEACEFUL RELIGION?(C) 2015
People who believe in Islam are called Muslims. Without qualification, most Muslims will tell you Islam is a peaceful religion. That may be true, for the most part. However, in the lifetime of most people now living, no other religion has been so connected to violence and terrorism as has Islam.
Neither Hindus, Buddhists, Christians nor Jews have, in modern times, committed as many violent and terrorist acts in the name of their religion as have Muslims.
Of course, Muslims will counter and cite the Christian crusades as a violent Christian period. And there’s some truth there. The Crusades, particularly the first, were a violent time when Christians, in reclaiming Holy Land earlier seized by Muslims, were quite violent.
But the Crusades (there were four) took place during the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Those were times when mankind supposedly was more backwards than now. In the United States, in modern times, Islam’s apparent intolerance and penchant for violence first surfaced in 1965.
That was the year Malcolm X was assassinated by Muslims. Muslims so objected to comments Malcolm X made about Elijah Muhammad, they thought he should be killed. In 1968, more intolerance led to violence. That’s when Sirhan Sirhan, a Muslim, murdered Robert F. Kennedy. Sirhan didn’t like Kennedy’s pro-Israel leanings.
IN YEARS SINCE, ISLAMIC TERRORISTS HAVE:
* Murdered Jewish athletes at the Munich Olympics.
* Taken American hostages in Iran.
* Bombed Marine barracks in Lebanon.
* Assassinated Anwar Sadat.
* Attempted to assassinate Pope John Paul ll.
*Made death threats against writer Salman Rushdie.
* Attacked the U.S.S. Cole, killing American sailors.
* Bombed American embassies in Africa.
* Carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.
* Kidnapped and murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
* Bombed a train carrying innocent civilians in Spain.
* Kidnapped and beheaded innocent civilians in Iraq.
* Killed a Dutch filmmaker and threatened to kill two Dutch politicians.
* Carried out terrorist attacks in Paris.
*Carried out terrorist attacks in San Bernardino.
Each of those violent acts were committed by people in different parts of the world. The common link among them all was Islam. Yet another common link was intolerance. The essence of intolerance is the notion that your beliefs and your way of life are right and the beliefs of others are wrong. Mix intolerance with fanaticism and you have an irrational mind.
Timothy McVeigh and other homegrown terrorists bombed the Oklahoma federal building. That was a terrorist act as well. But McVeigh did not use religion as a fig leaf to cover up his evil actions. And he didn’t think he was committing an act that would somehow please God.
Terrorists, however, commit evil acts and, incredibly, shout out during the act, “God is Great.” Isn’t it peculiar for someone to believe God would sanction the murder of innocent people?
To be fair, since time immemorial, evil men have been using religion to hide their true intentions. Contemporary Islam is no different. No doubt, fuzzy, unclear bible passages have made it easy for evil men to hide their intentions behind vague religious verses.
In the Christian world, the Bible has frequently been updated to make its meaning plain and clear. But the Koran, Islam's bible, has not been updated.
The Koran retains its original translation. Is the Koran’s original language so archaic, confusing, unclear, and misleading it can be easily misinterpreted? After all, too many Muslims have committed too many terrorist acts in the name of Islam. And, they actually believed they were doing God’s work.
At best, religion civilizes mankind and restrains his and her evil... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/136350
