Rick Santorum: Sharia is "evil" and "incompatible with American jurisprudence and our Constitution"
Jihad Watch ^ | March 12, 2011

Posted on 03/13/2011 2:43:36 PM PDT by NYer

Santorum is going to get a lot of heat for this. When the Islamic supremacist tools in the mainstream media challenge him on it, he should ask them if they think the death penalty for apostates, stoning for adultery, amputation of the hand for theft, the denial of the freedom of speech, and institutionalized second-class status for women and non-Muslims is not evil. They will then, following some smooth Islamic supremacist deceiver, claim that those things are not part of Sharia; Santorum should then challenge them to name one Muslim country that has ever implemented Sharia without implementing those measures, or one school of Islamic jurisprudence that does not teach such things.

"Rick Santorum: Sharia 'is evil,'" by Kendra Marr for Politico, March 11 (thanks to Jack):

DURHAM, N.H. — Rick Santorum on Friday asserted that Sharia law has no place in America.

“Jihadism is evil and we need to say what it is,” he said at the Strafford County Lincoln-Reagan dinner, remarks that show how the former Pennsylvania senator continues to establish himself as the candidate most-aligned with the Republican Party’s conservative base.

“We need to define it and say what it is. And it is evil. Sharia law is incompatible with American jurisprudence and our Constitution.”...

Santorum added, “Sharia law is not just a religious code. It is also a governmental code. It happens to be both religious in nature an origin, but it is a civil code. And it is incompatible with the civil code of the United States.”...

Moderate Muslim is a shill for all of Sharia. No one who swears fidelity and obedience to Sharia Law can honesty swear allegence to the Constitutution of the USA. There is no such thing as a moderate Sharia Law, the same applies to a person(s) who accept any part of Sharia.

Of course the liberals in this country think our 200+ year old Constitution is outdated but they embrace Sharia Law from the 8th century.

“it is incompatible with the civil code of the United States”

He is stating a simple fact. Why the debate?

Sharia is evil, just like its source.

And when you get through asking about stoning, amputation etc....

Don't forget to ask our CHRISTIAN politicians about abortion and homosexuality.

As more of a fiscal than a social conservative, I'm not too crazy about 'Christian scolds' either. But their carping in no way compares to Muslim enforcement of Sharia Law, which is far more wide-ranging, detailed and brutal. And even if it did, it wouldn't affect Santorum's criticism of Sharia.

And sharia and jihad are the heart of Mohammedanism.

Thanks for posting. I cannot read Islam-expose books/ I’d never sleep again. However, EWTN is great and I trust their speakers. I did read a quote from St. Augustine (was it?) last week re Islam — he had NOTHING good to say about it, even then — ‘a heresy,’ ‘appealing to man’s baser (sexual) desires.’

Bump! No wonder he’s one of the presidential hopefuls that Mark Levin likes.
