Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood
The Telegraph ^ | 9 October 09 | Andrew Gilligan and Alex Spillius

Posted on 10/09/2009 6:09:59 AM PDT by LSUfan

President Barack Obama's adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, has provoked controversy by appearing on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist group to talk about Sharia Law.

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party.

The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world.

I have a question. Why do we never see Zero going to any type of worship service, is it because his imam comes to him at the WH? Does he pray on his little rug daily...What gives??? I am puzzled by his behavior....

I’m sitting here wondering what it would be like to hear some Jewish spokesman explain that Nazi law is misunderstood.

He is still trying to pick a church- last I heard.

I am betting he ultimately decides to visit them all on a rotating basis (including FIRST a mosque)

I have been asking this for months now.

Why does this man and his freeloading wife never go to church at all, ?

What happened to the comment of “we’re looking at all churches to go to and have to pick one?’

Why does the so called media never ask this and why do they never ask why his wife why she never does any work as a first lady minus the olympic bid?

He went to a racist anti American church for 20 years, 20 FRIGGIN YEARS.
Now he never goes to a church at all and no one is asking WHY, WHY , WHY?

He could be right about this. Maybe we should test this out in the “petri dish” here in MAss. I’m sure our judges would be in favor of switching the books from MA law to Sharia law.. could do it overnight (thinking S2028).

"He went to a racist anti American church for 20 years, 20 FRIGGIN YEARS."

His wife went there longer, I've heard it was her that started dragging him to it later simply for the political contacts and prestige of it by the black voters.

Everything they do when it comes to religion is now political posturing, they know it will be scrutinized by everyone so they are very carefully crafting the best response they can.

I think we’re all being a little narrow-minded here. Why don’t we give Sharia law a test-run - say in Hollywood and Washington DC only - just to see what the sodomites and thieves really think of it.

I very much appreciated that the article chose the Concerned Women for America to give the rebuttal quote. The spokeswoman mentions Muzzammill Hassan, who ran a cable channel in NY in support of Muslim causes who is now charged with beheading his wife because she filed for divorce. Maybe Ms. Mogahed should consider a marriage proposal to the gentleman?

It's just so hard to find a good, Black Nationalist church nowadays.

Sharia law is perfectly understood, and we don’t like it.

When Muslims come to Western nations, they should expect to be governed by Western laws - just as I or anyone else when they go to a foreign country.

It’s a strange age when Muslims commit atrocities and expect to be respected.
