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."...

They haven’t changed their way of thinking since Saladin in the 1100’s. The only good Christian is a dead one.

Actually no..and that was intentional. I also did not share this with the company. Learned long ago if you want something done the last place to take information, of this nature, is to your employer. In this case they are so ill-informed they would not see the significance of it. Besides that most are liberals...you get the picture.

Then LEO was your best bet. Just thought a list of those names for your own protection...to keep away from...or compare if you run across a similar name might come in handy.

Very interesting indeed. I would be very interested in knowing more about this story.

In retrospect It would have been interesting to check out the e-mail sites etc. listed. Passport numbers were listed...the dates the passports were issued.....as well the dates of travel and duration. But I really don’t want information as that in my possession. Better to have passed it on to those who have the resources to look further than my computer can take me.....’Leo’ will surely know where to go..and the means of who to go to.

I first took it to the local police...they had no interest and said nothing they could do about it...they only handle this small cities issues. (Idiot)... So I went to the State Police. They did have the interest...and took it far more seriously of course. Also if they find anything from the info will contact the FBI or Homeland security people. Not that they will do anything more but at least the information is where it needs to be IMO.

If you have a choice always contact the highest level of LEO you have access to. State or FBI is usually first choice.
Don’t be surprised if you get a visit from men in black suits one day soon. They may want your computer...hard drive. Cooperate....and prepare a list of people you know (including your boss) who have access to the source and be prepared to relay it to them asap.

Take care....and be careful.

Of course Islam is misunderstood by the American public.

If it was properly understood, neither it, nor its practitioners would be tolerated by the American people.

Islam is antithetical to the US Constitution. The two can exist together only so long as no part of Sharia law is allowed official status.

They know who I am and where I work. I have nothing to hide. But I tend to doubt they will be at my door. Maybe a phone call at most and I doubt even that. It’s a small community and they usually keep a low profile when they are undertaking an investigation of any kind.

The information wasn’t local. Rather appeared to be someone traveling allot from some other area. The item I found it under could have come from any store, at any time, as a return...and most likely how the store got the item. And they are nationwide. Tracking that would not be hard to do for LEO if they sought to do so. They could go to the store and follow the days sales....information on that item would show..and then track it thru the system. If a charge card was used they would find name of who purchased. If cash, it would be a dead end.

The Islamo-Nazis have control of the American Federal government from the pResident down to this "advisor" and further into the intelligence services, military, immigration, etc. America is *this close* to sliding into a thousand years of Somalia-level death, ignorance, slavery, and murder.

If Jesus doesn't come back soon, we're going to have to perform some Biblical-level smiting of these Muslim demons all by ourselves, or kiss human dignity goodbye for dozens of generations.

I am definitely pro-smiting. I don’t think there has been enough smiting lately, and that is a large part of the problem. They are cowards, and smiting sends them the right message. Remember how nice Muammar Gaddafi became after we invaded — a major smiting — Afghanistan and Iraq? Now he has returned to his bad, old habits because he knows the wimp in the White House doesn’t have a decent smite in him. We need REAL MEN running our country. Or REAL WOMEN along the lines of Margaret Thatcher, who knew smite.
