Having worked with Elena Kagan at the Clinton White House, Dick was inclined to see her as a political moderate, worthy of support as the best one could expect from the Obama White House. But no more.
Thanks to the work of the Center for Security Policy Director Frank Gaffney and the writing of Andrew McCarthy of the National Review Institute, there has emerged a compelling reason to vote against Kagan’s confirmation as a Supreme Court justice: her support for Shariah law while she was dean of Harvard Law School.
Islamists are seeking to spread Shariah law by inducing American and European financial institutions to establish Shariah Compliant Funds in which their clients can invest. Exposed in our books Fleeced and Outrage, these funds follow the prescriptions of Shariah law in their investments. They routinely collect 2.5 percent of the principal of any investment annually for donation to charitable institutions, fine recipients of their investment 7 percent for transgressions of Shariah law (and donate the fine to charity), and only invest in projects compliant with the rules of Shariah.
Unfortunately, the decisions as to which investments are compliant and which charities receive their benefice are made by Shariah Compliance Boards appointed by the financial institutions that typically include radical Muslim extremists who routinely designate terrorist-linked entities to receive their charitable donations, and they also proscribe investment in any firm engaged in U.S. defense contracting on the ground that the contract could aid Israel.
Most major banks in the U.S. and Europe have established Shariah Compliant Funds, and they had almost $1 trillion under management by 2007 — and likely more today.
At Harvard, Elena Kagan “proceeded to forge the law schools’ ‘Islamic Finance Project.’ ” Its purpose, according to McCarthy, was “to promote Shariah compliance in the U.S. financial sector.”

Praying, not dreaming...this is no “even swap” for the court...her and the wide Latina will be there for thirty years and help bring us back to the sixties...
Obama’s mission is to destroy. Destroy America.
I foresee the day where some state (where I’ll move shortly after it happens) will tell the left side of the supremes to shove their idiotic rulings up their Obamas.
If is this is what Harvard and Yale law provides, methinks the quality of these schools is right up there with the Physics Department of the University of Velikovsky.
Does little Lindsey Gra-han know about this?
Anyone care to wager this NEVER comes up?
60s? Those were fine days compared to the stuff those 2 want.
The list, ping
I think he will be supporting DADO when Sharia comes to town.
well look for here to be a new supreme...she is part of the defeat american team
Any individual who promotes or tolerates Shariah within America is no less treasonous than a collaborator or spy such as Benedict Arnold, Rosenbergs, Aldrich Ames…and should be dealt with in the same manner.
Shariah is an extension of Islam and is a military and quasi-governmental movement which disguises itself as a social cause through theocracy.
