The idea to counter the billboards is a good one. If you call ICNA they will most definitely lie about what Sharia really is.
Robert Spencer says this about ICNA:
“ICNA is trying to whitewash Shariah, to hoodwink Americans into thinking that concerns about it are all due to ‘misconceptions’ that can easily be cleared up,” Spencer said.
Spencer adds that any inquiries about Shariah’s darker side will receive soft replies.
“I expect that if any inquirers asked about stonings, amputations, the denial of the freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for women and non-Muslims, they’ll be told that none of that is really part of Shariah,” Spencer said.
“ICNA’s goal is to foster complacency and ignorance about Shariah on the part of Americans,” Spencer said. “I don’t think people phoning in with questions like that will rattle ICNA. Only a counter-campaign calling attention to those aspects of Sharia would accomplish that.”
Unfortunately, law enforcement and the military have bought into the Bush notion that “Islam is a religion of peace” and their training and operational procedures have been co-opted and the facts and dangers are being ignored.
