According to a leading Pakistani imam, Islamists need to convince western civilizations that Sharia law is good and that we need it to root our the evils which possess us. His wise words must be music to Obama's ears.
In a recent article, leading Pakistani cleric Maulana Zahidur Rashdi noted that Islam and the West are indeed in a clash of civilizations, as argued by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.The article, titled “The Cultural and Civilizational Struggle Between Islam and the West,” was published by Roznama Islam, an Urdu-language daily published from Karachi and Lahore, which is known for advocating Islamist causes and pro-jihad arguments.
Maulana Zahidur Rashdi is a leading Islamic scholar who frequently writes in newspapers and has visited several countries to preach Islam, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bangladesh, Iran, Kenya, Iran, Uzbekistan, India, the U.K., Canada, the U.S., and others.

“[Our Intellectuals See It Not As A War Of Civilization But As] A War Of Interests … Between The Developed And The Developing Countries, In Which Muslim Countries And Nations Are The Underdogs Due To Lack Of Progress”
“‘Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has said that those Muslims who believe in shari’a should be expelled from America. Before this, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump had too demanded a ban on the entry of Muslims into America. Newt Gingrich… has said in an interview: Western civilization is in a state of war. Shari’a is not compatible with the Western civilization, and we will gladly accept those Muslims who do not believe in shari’a. Newt Gingrich has also proposed monitoring mosques in America along with imprisoning individuals who visit websites of extremist organizations.
Accordingly,
“The West’s standpoint is very clear in that it is not ready to accept the enforcement of shari’a. In response to this, it is our responsibility to point out the errors of the Western civilization based on the common collective interests of human society and revealed [Islamic] teachings, to clarify the damages caused to human society by it [the Western civilization], and to bring forth benefits and necessities of Islamic Shari’a through reason and logic…”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ClfgbVhxpw
President Obama has contended that America should not bar immigrants or refugee seekers who favor the imposition of Sharia law; that's not who we are. Perhaps He does not want to stop His thus far successful efforts to end our terrorist shortage. In July of last year, Obama
condemned the terrorist attack in France that killed 84 people and denounced politicians who have suggested that Muslims be subjected to extra scrutiny in the United States because of their religion."In the wake of last night’s attacks, we’ve heard more suggestions that all Muslims in America be targeted or tested for their beliefs," Obama said. The president appeared to be referring to former House speaker Newt Gingrich's call on Fox News to deport all Muslims who follow sharia law.
Without mentioning Gingrich by name, Obama called his suggestion of a religious test "repugnant and an affront to everything we stand for as Americans." [Emphasis added.]
"We cannot give in to fear or turn on each other or sacrifice our way of life," Obama said. "We cannot let ourselves be divided by religion, because that is exactly what the terrorists want."
Alas, some Muslims reject governmental adoption of Sharia law. Raheel Raza recently took issue with CNN commentator Sally Kohn, who had tried to defend Sharia law.
Raza’s response came after Kohn recently pretended to be an Islamic theologian and lectured the public on how “progressive” sharia law allegedly is:“There is a difference between personal, spiritual Sharia and the political incorporation of Sharia into law,” Kohn stated. “And within both, there are progressive interpretations as well as more fundamentalist conservative interpretations. So the word Sharia doesn’t mean one thing.” [Emphasis added.]
Kohn then blasted Donald Trump for “not knowing” what sharia law really stands for. This is likely when Raza’s radar went up, considering that the Muslim activist has first-hand knowledge about sharia law and the threat it poses.
Raza, who at great personal risk travels the world to educate people on the dangers of sharia law and who has worked for decades to wrestle her faith from the hands of extremists, thinks it odd that a progressive would defend the very Islamic tenets that promote homophobia, anti-Semitism, and the subjugation of women.
In an open letter to Kohn published on the Huffington Post, Raza writes:
Political commentator Sally Kohn has made several statements regarding sharia law, which were not only offensive but dangerous. In using her voice to propagate this liberal apologist position, she is doing a great disservice to progressive reform-minded Muslims like myself. Her words are an affront to me, a female Muslim activist, as I have made it my life’s mission to educate others on this topic and to wrestle back my religion from the clutches of extremists who wish to make sharia the law of the land. And I would be happy to debate her on this topic. [Emphasis added.]
As an openly gay woman, Ms. Kohn would be killed, jailed or persecuted under sharia law. As a devout Muslim woman, I – along with many true progressive Muslims – rightly view sharia, as it is practiced today, as an archaic distortion of Islamic law. In a very diplomatic way, Raza suggests that perhaps Kohn doesn’t know as much about Islamic law as she thinks she does, and then offered up the following “brief lesson in sharia”:
What many sharia laws and statutes have in common are the following. They are:
· Homophobic · Anti-semitic · Anti-women · Advocate amputations and stoning · Preach killing of apostates · Uphold the Blasphemy Law (which could get me killed)
“This homophobic, anti-woman, repressive sharia is no longer confined to the mosque or to majority Muslim nations,” Raza writes before providing the example of England’s 100 sharia councils that have been allowed to harm women in the West.
“As a woman, and as someone who enjoys the freedoms and liberties that are systematically assaulted by sharia law, Sally Kohn needs to think twice before defending this oppressive, perverse practice.”
“Words are powerful — so Sally, I beg you and others to stop defending the indefensible and to stand with us, not them,” the Muslim activists concluded.
It is typical of progressives, so willfully blind, that they hurt the very people they claim to champion. Sadly, progressives like Kohn would rather propagate left-wing lies about Islam without regard to how many people get hurt in the process, than actually learn from the people who know best.
Obama may think that Sharia law is good and that we need it, but rejects any "honest discussion" about it.

Would Iman Obama agree with Sally Kohn and Pakistani imam Rashdi that western cultures need the enlightenment that Sharia law brings? Then, perhaps we could become enlightened and progressive (but I repeat myself) like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran. Saudi Arabia recently sentenced a man to ten years in jail and two thousand lashes for "tweeting" about being an atheist.
The hardline Islamic state’s religious police in charge of monitoring social networks found more than 600 tweets denying the existence of God, ridiculing Koranic verses, accusing all prophets of lies and saying their teaching fuelled hostilities…
Turkey is enjoying an epidemic of child rape. The Islamic Republic of Iran likes to have mass executions and, when convenient, throws homosexuals off tall buildings.
Stoning, pursuant to Sharia law, is also popular in Iran.

Of course, it has to be done only in conformity with Iran's Sharia law, generally after a "confession."

And on and on and on. Never mind, though, Iran is very technologically advanced, doubtless due to scientific guidance provided by its ayatollahs based on the teachings of Mohammad. Indeed, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi recently promised that the "Hidden Imam" will arrive soon, and in "a vessel like a space ship."
Islamic Hijrah, migrating from Islamic countries to non-Islamic countries, is a way of conquest by political Islam -- by Islamists. With it, comes Sharia law. If you haven't the time or inclination to watch any of the other videos, please watch this one. Yes, it's thirty minutes long, but well is worth the time.

Perhaps, by extending hands of welcome to more Islamist immigrants and refugees who seek to conquer us and "help" us by bringing Sharia law with them, we will accept that only based on Islamist teachings can we
clarify the damages caused to human society by it [the Western civilization], and . . . bring forth benefits and necessities of Islamic Shari’a through reason and logic…”Obama would be very proud of them, and of us for imposing no
What we need is leadership with their heads in the Sunlight.
“The only good islamist is a....”
I think I’ll differ right there, seeing our so-called “President” is an enemy islamist, and I don’t want a vist from the Secret Service.
This so called cleric needs cranial ventilation.
They hide behind the First Amendment protection of religion, to promote Sharia law, which is a political and social program antithetical to the Constitution.
However, the Congress in the 19th century stripped Mormonism of its protected status, and were upheld by the courts.
Gee, I wonder if being underdeveloped economically has anything to do with Sha’ria law being followed? Could it possibly be? Kemal Attaturk thought it did.
Almost every country that is led by Islamic fundamentalists is a complete $hithole. And the muzzies bolt the country because it is a $hithole and immediately want to establish Sharia in the country to where they moved, so that they can turn their new country into a $hithole.
So we don’t want you here. Stay home and live your lives in the $hithole in which you wallow and which you deserve.
Or cast off your oppressors and embrace a lifestyle that offers hope and rewards you for something other than being a cruel fanatic that wants to turn the world into one giant $hithole.
(Not sure if you noticed ... but the “$” is in place of an “S”)
Like we need a hole in the head.
Submit or die
The koran says there can be no peace until we all submit or die.
Not just Jews.
All non-muslims.
The only peace in Islam is when Allah reigns supreme and all are Islamic.
Learn that lesson well and decide if you will submit, die, or fight.
Those are your choices.
What we need is a new Crusade until Allah is worshipped only in hell.
The West Needs Sharia Law toilet paper.

I’m sick and tired of our illegal immigrant in chief trying to tell “us who we are”. O is not “us” unless he’s speaking to the Moslem brotherhood terrorist murder gang or Isis of his Islamonazi comrades in Iran.
Islam needs to be an historical memory fading away in life’s rear view mirror.
Mohammed’s slaves need Abraham Lincoln
I chose “fight” 15 yrs ago.
Fully prepped. And then some.
Just awaiting the call.
I will die free.
Islam is an outpouring of the spirit of antichrist. A hole in the head is preferrable to ever confessing that false prophet Mohammad.
Sharia is at best Satan trying to pretend to be a being of light.
The West doesn’t need ANYTHING to do with Islam: it needs Christ.
Only Christ.
Just Christ.
... beyond that it is an indictment of the western secular world that so many feel the need to harp on what Islam does to homosexuals. How the perverted and wicked are treated simply does not compare to how it treats relatively normal and innocent people who just aren’t Muslims, Christians and Jews in particular. May as well lament that Islamists chop off thieves’ hands as what they do to homosexuals.
Christians should flatly resist letting a Romans 1:18-32 kinda society dictate the rhetoric of criticism and resistance to Islam.
Should be “: Christians and Jews in particular.”
The comma used could cause problems.
The world would be a better place without them. However, there are about 1.5 billion in the world, and they aren't leaving anytime soon. Too many are coming to Obama's America.
Realistically, about the only thing we are likely to do for the foreseeable future is to exclude those who want to impose Sharia law. Obama won't do that and neither would Hillary. Trump probably will if elected, and that will be a good start. He will probably scrap the "countering violent extremism" scam and actually focus on those who want to destroy our country.
One of the times when telling a cleric to GFH is warranted.
