[Undermining the Constitution and the US legal system -Sharia Step #1 (my comment)]

Harvard Law School has announced the launch of a series of paid fellowships for research on issues of Islamic law during the 2017-2018 academic year, aimed at influencing public discourse and U.S. policy on Sharia.

According to.... Harvard’s Islamic Legal Studies Program, Intisar Rabb, the launch of the new program comes “just in time” for the beginning of the Trump administration and has the goal of “building a community of Islamic law scholars in the academy” as well as informing “policy and media discourse about Islamic law.”

Fellows will receive a stipend of up to $5,000 per month and are expected to promote the development of policy papers “at the intersection of Islamic law and relevant issues of U.S. policy.” These policy papers will include short commentary on recent cases or other Islamic law sources, longer policy briefs, or op-eds, according to the law school website.

Harvard’s SHARIAsource Portal has amassed a [global] digital library of Sharia case law..., 25 editors - 21 institutions (6 [foreign].) and 1711 primary sources- 18 different countries. 902 Sharia court cases, 541 legislative acts and 251 Fatwās.

... Sharia Research Fellowship Program will provide opportunities for scholars to conduct research on “policy-related aspects of Islamic law,” and Harvard will provide them with a workspace, Harvard Law Library privileges, and their stipend.... encouraging applications especially from “women, minorities, and citizens of all countries.” [It's] inviting visiting fellows to undertake research, writing, and scholarly engagement on Islamic law that furthers the Program’s mission.

... Program is promoting research in migration refugee studies, environmental law, climate change, minority rights, animal welfare and human rights..... Islamic Legal Studies Program shares the “exciting news” of the launch, while inviting them to share the news widely.

Islamic law is incompatible with civilized law. This is out of hatred for this country.

You’re paying for it; see post #13.

They will be seeding news articles continuously and press / bribe to get it into school curriculum. They will begin to argue cases in favor of sharia and impose it in family courts. And introduce sharia banking and lending.

That’s how it began in Canada-20+ years ago.

Sharia Law in Canada -barf alert

Sharia law is advancing in Canada at both provincial and local levels.

The provincial governments of Canada for years have tacitly recognized Sharia law for Canada’s Muslim minority by sending multiple welfare checks to polygamous Muslim men who raise multiple families in Canada.

Efforts by Canadian Muslims to push for Sharia law at the municipal level have met more immediate success than provincially.

Instead of just a classroom, a public school cafeteria becomes a mosque on Friday afternoons so that Muslim students can listen to an imam from a nearby mosque and pray towards Mecca. In the photo, the boys are praying in front of the girls, who are praying in front of the menstruating girls, who are forbidden to pray. The same scene is repeated at public schools across Canada today and many of their cafeterias only serve Halal food that have been sacrificed to Allah, the moon god.

Public schools in Canada provide neither facilities for the Christian students to gather and worship nor kosher food for the Jewish students.

Also since 2008, the municipal government of Edmonton has been denying men access to its swimming pools during certain hours of the week after Muslim women demanded opportunities to swim without men around, in accordance with the Shariah law.

In 2011, the municipal government of Huntingdon in the province of Quebec built a mosque, a Halal slaughterhouse and offered a 1-year property tax moratorium to attract Muslim residents.

THANK GOD Trump and NO OTHER candidate on either side won.

I’m not saying all of this won’t happen, but at least we have a fighting chance now.

We have a 4 to 8 year window to turn this country around and kick some ass.

Sadly, We are also funding anti Christian BS that is being pushed by both the Muslims and Jews in the State Dept. Basically, it is all about the New Testament being wrong as it portrays Jews as terrible people who called for Jesus’ death. They say Christians are making Jews out as traitors etc. The entire PC BS is to push more Muslim,Jewish and anti Christian BS. More divide and conquer.

You are- through your tax dollars. Smile.

See post #13. And it’s likely a special saudi gift as well.

Defund Harvard now.

Nah, Still blaming the Joooos. It sounds like the old thinking pre Vatican II (1963) which dealt with the issue of the responsibility of the Jews in the crucifixion of Christ. The schema states that “the responsibility for Christs death falls upon sinful mankind.”

In other words, the blame falls on both Jew and Christian. The part the Jewish leaders of Christs time played in bringing about the crucifixion does not exclude the guilt of all mankind. In addition, the personal guilt of these leaders cannot be charged to the whole Jewish people either of Christs time or today.

If there is anti-Christian sentiment in the State Dept., it is because they misconstrue the N.T. for their own purposes.

USAians are slaves to the international globalists, who have been using our hard earned money, and most importantly trillion of dollars of debt in our name, to fund their anti-USA empire. To destroy US. Funding diversity and therefore the complete destruction of the USA/USConstitution.
The reason we cannot do any normal thing to change it, is we are considered to be slaves of DC. Slaves.
Unfortunately, USA is a conquered nation, conquered by law-fare, news-fare and education-fare.
Real USAians need to wake up, but since they are mostly asleep, our only hope is YHVH.

Sad, once upon a time, all the best pastors came from Harvard.

That is because it was only Christians and their pastors who founded all the great universities in America.

The Leftists infiltrated and corrupted them, and kicked God out by 1930, so they could brainwash and destroy virtue formation in the children and make them totally irrational and ignorant of Truth (God). they teach lies and misinformation —everything is squeezed through a Marxist Lens (the Big Lie).

When Truth (God) doesn’t exist, there is no Free Will—no ability for choice or critical thinking. We need to take back our schools from the satanists.

This is further proof that corruption of our culture flows downward, spurred on by SJW intent on societal destruction.

Sharia acceptance by courts will finish off the remains of our republic.

Congress could stop creeping sharia in its tracks. Thanks to popularly elected senators, it won’t.

I look at facts as I have a number of Jewish friends. Here are the people who served with Hillary at State.

Also think back to Madeline Albright and how about Henry Kissinger. If one cannot see that the left has wanted Christianity banned from all public and government facilities plus workplaces while promoting Islamic prayer to 10th graders in school , I say they are probably blind or anti Christian themselves. Our early founding fathers were 95%+ Christian.

Wrong Dear, I’m a Christian, not Jewish.

The answer is from a Catholic source—http://www.americamagazine.org/issue/100/jews-and-vatican-ii
