Lawful or Unlawful? Let’s Ask Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri

In the comments on last night’s post about the Konstanz discotheque incident, the venerable Mark Spahn asked me to justify my statement that “[n]othing a Muslim does to a non-Muslim is illegal under Islamic law.”

I’m glad he made the request. It gives me the opportunity to explain once again the legal justification under the Shariah for various deeds that would be considered crimes under Western law. We’ve picked up quite a few readers since the last time I covered this material, so newcomers may find the following references helpful.

As with so many examples from Islamic law, I’ll cite ’Umdat al-salik wa ’uddat al-nasik, or The reliance of the traveller and tools of the worshipper. It is commonly referred to as Reliance of the Traveller when cited in English......

This is an authoritative source on Sunni Islamic law, because it is certified as such by Al-Azhar University in Cairo. There is no higher authority on Sunni Islamic doctrine than Al-Azhar; it is the closest equivalent to the Vatican that can be found in Islam.

Here are some samples of authoritative Shariah law, Book O, Justice, “Those Not Subject to Retaliation” (o1.2):

The following are not subject to retaliation: […] (2) a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim.

From the same section of “Justice”, also not subject to retaliation are:

(4) a father or mother… for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring…

Maj. Stephen Coughlin makes the following observation on clause (4):

This is honor killing. When someone says honor killing is not a part of Islam, all I say is, “Reliance of the Traveller, o1.2-(4).” If I can show you it is published in Islamic law, it is part of Islam.

And why did 0bama push to bring in so many of the believers of this faith. He must REALLY hate the USA and desire to destroy it from the inside.

This article and the Baron’s previous one can really open a door of insight into Islamic thought, both legal and religious (often the same), as well as the core believes of their culture (which is often the same as their religion).

Westerners, especially, need to understand what the majority of followers of Islam DO follow (as opposed to some who follow milder, more tolerance and more modern interpretations - a minority in the world, but they are the only hope of a Reformation of Militant/Sharia/Jihadist Islam into a real “religion of peace”, not “pieces”).

Barak ibn Barak brought the Moslems into the country and set into motion a migration that continues to this day because Barak is a Moslem obeying his Religion and the duty of Migration is spelled out in the Koran.

Doncha know it’s racist to use the words of the Koran and its teachers against Moslems and Islam?

(I still haven’t figured out how ‘Moslem’ became a race.)
