Recently it came to light that there is an Islamic Tribunal court that is active in North Texas, who is already in trouble for describing members of its ranks as “lawyers” when they have not passed the bar. In the age of ISIS and heightened awareness of Islamofascism across the globe Americans are very wary of anything that might suggest that Sharia’h, or Islamic law, is taking root in the U.S. Frankly, I see this wariness as a good thing. It makes us more vigilant against the very real threat that exists within the borders of our nation and that is the threat of sharia’h law gaining parity with American law. People did not think it could happen in Britain, and eventually Sharia’h courts gained parity with British courts. Now, the ruling dictated by a Sharia’h court is given the same legal weight as those handed down by the Queen’s courts. This past summer a Muslim reporter in London wrote an article that said that banning Sharia’h law courts in Britain would harm British Muslim women. This seems odd to me since Sharia’h law, by its very nature is anti-woman. After all Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), forced child marriage (and subsequent child rape) and even marital rape are all accepted practices within Sharia’h law.

In a new study by a Christian research company called LifeWay Research finds that 37% of Americans polled in their study were concerned about Sharia’h law being applied in the U.S., while 27% of the study respondents believed that ISIS was an accurate reflection of the Islamic faith as a whole. According to the study, 43% of those polled believe that Islam can create a peaceful society.

It seems that the Charlie Hebdo attack and subsequent attacks on a kosher deli in Paris figured heavily into people’s views on Islam. According to Ed Stetzer, executive director of LifeWay Research it has created an odd paradigm in the U.S. publics view of freedom of religion.

“ISIS has stirred an odd religious debate in America today,” said Ed Stetzer, executive director of LifeWay Research. “In a nation that has long espoused religious freedom, Americans are thinking long and hard about the kind of society Islam fosters – especially the more radical groups that say they are Islamic – and whether Sharia law would ever be adopted here.”

I can certainly understand the concern. I have studied Islamofascism for many years and have detailed its incursion into the U.S. investment markets over the past decade. If you see a “socially responsible investment index” look at the companies excluded carefully. If they exclude the following, they are probably a Sharia’h compliant index-alcohol, pork production, alcohol production, Western weapons of defense (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing), and pornography (but then who wants to invest in porn anyway?).

There is a remedy. It is called American Laws for American Courts (ALAC for short) and it has been passed in a total of five states already. This is legislation that protects the spirit of American law from the elements of any foreign law that seeks to undermine the Constitution and those freedoms it protects.

Forgive me, I think most Americans would be even more vigilant about this issue if the majority of the voting public knew how often Islamic terror organizations have been invited into the White House under the current Administration. Just two weeks ago Breitbart revealed that a number of terror connected groups were hosted at the Obama White House to discuss anti-Muslim bigotry.

“Also at the event was Hoda Elshishtawy of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). MPAC was founded by members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. The group has written a position paper rejecting the United States’s designation of Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations, and has insisted that the Jewish state of Israel be added as a state sponsor of terrorism. The group’s former president, Salam al-Marayati, has also publicly entertained that Israel should be considered a suspect in the 9/11/01 attacks against America. He has said that Hezbollah’s attacks against Israel should be seen as “legitimate resistance,” according to Ryan Mauro of the Clarion Foundation.”

The article continues to name other terror connected “Muslim leaders” who were present.

“Elshishtawy revealed that Dr. Sherman Jackson, who serves as the King Faisal Chair of Islamic Thought at the University of Southern California, was also at the meeting. One lecture Dr. Jackson gave has been described as a “call to battle” between Muslims and the West.

The Detroit Free Press revealed the names of three additional individuals who were in the meeting: Azhar Azeed, president of the Muslim Brotherhood-founded Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); Rahat Hussain, the Legislative Policy Director for Shiite advocacy group UMAA; and Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, a women who played college basketball while wearing an Islamic hajib.”

But, of course, there is nothing to see here folks. Move along.
