Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | December 29, 2010 | Andrew Gilligan

Posted on 12/29/2010 8:46:28 PM PST by La Lydia

President Barack Obama's adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, has provoked controversy by appearing on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist group to talk about Sharia Law. Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President's Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was "oversimplified" and the majority of women around the world associate it with "gender justice".

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party. The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world...

During the 45-minute discussion, on the Islam Channel programme Muslimah Dilemma earlier this week, the two members of the group made repeated attacks on secular "man-made law" and the West's "lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism"....

She said: "I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media....

The video of the broadcast has now been prominently posted on the front page of Hizb ut Tahrir's website. Miss Mogahed, who was born in Egypt and moved to America at the age of five, is the first veiled Muslim woman to serve in the White House. Her appointment was seen as a sign of the Obama administration's determination to reach out to the Muslim world....

During this week's broadcast, she described her White House role as "to convey... to the President and other public officials what it is Muslims want."...

Interesting developments at work today. I Found a hidden 2page account of someone obtaining passports and listing the dates and trips to Pakistan over a period years. Including travel to embassies etc. The second page held a list of about a dozen e-mail addresses, all whose names were Muslim types.

This was deliberately hidden beneath a jewelry insert and would not have been discovered had I not sought to move the insert to another container...there it was neatly folded up just benneth it.

The state police now have it and are interested. Made for an interesting day.

Someone in Congress need to show “Backbone” like the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard Her Statement was given Wednesday Dec 1st.

This is the second time The Prime Minister said if Muslims want Sharia Law Get out of Australia!!

Americans This is Our Country!!... We are not a Muslim Country..... If Muslims don’t like our laws then Get out of our Country!! ...... We could not make laws in Muslim Countries... Well Muslims can not bring Sharia law to our Country!!
If you can’t comply with our Laws...............GET OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!!

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia > > Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday > to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to > head off potential terror attacks.. > >
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying > she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

Quote: > > ‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It. > I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some > individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have > experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. ‘ > > ‘This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials > and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom’ > >

‘We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, > Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of > our society . Learn the language!’ > >

‘Most Australians (but not me) believe in God. This is not some Christian, > right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on > Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. > It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.

If > God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as > your new home, because “God” is part of our culture.’ > > ‘We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is > that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.’ > >

‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you > every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, > whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or > Our Way of Life,

I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great > Australian freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’ > ‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here. > You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.’

This country’s citizens have become a big joke to elect a man like Barack Obama.

The Obama administration is actively pushing Sharia.

This should terrify every man, woman, and child in the free world and in America particularly.

But we are asleep.

Why in hell are we using tax dollars for a practicing Muslim to advise Obama on Muslim affairs?

And why did taxpayers fund the ground zero Imam's trip to the MidEast to visit with religious leaders and do religious things?

Why do we not have taxpayers fund Christian minister trips to China to meet with Chinese house church Christian leaders?

How is it a veiled woman is allowed to work outside the home? I thought they were against that.

Great post! I may have been born at night but not last night. It’s mind boggling how the dumbing down of America has led us to where we are now. The rats count on the ignorance of the people and depend on the population to believe “whatever” they tell them. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which way zero leans!

‘and the West’s “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism”....

It is a lethal cocktail! A lethal cocktail to a devout muzzies’s way of life!
They have no idea what liberty and capitalism is in the first place!
This is the reason the vast majority of them still dress themselves in sheets and live in barns!
