Once again, the Puff Hos carry water for the most vicious and brutal ideology on the face of the earth. Modern Muslima Maryam Khan Ansari, who is identified as an âattorney and writer,â published a ridiculous piece in the Huffington Post Saturday: âWhat Is Sharia Law And Should You Be Scared? Why is Sharia such a scary word?â
Sharia is a scary word because sharia is scary.
Sharia in the last 24 hours:
Moderate Algerian Christian gets maximum sentence for âblasphemyâ
Armed Muslim gang destroys village over rumours church was being built, âNo god but Allah, Christians the enemies of Allahâ
Killer of Peaceful Muslim Praised by Supporters in BritainâŚ
EU Muslims Demand Polygamy: âSince Gay Marriage is LegalââŚ
Famed Islamic Preacher Charged with âUnlawful ActivitiesââŚ
CAIR Files Suit for Stewardess Who Put Sharia Before JobâŚ
Austrian Town Mayor: Weâve Reached Our Limit on Muslim Migrant Sex Attacks
Germany Stops Religion of Peace Plot to Attack Soccer MatchâŚ
No Muslim country under sharia law is benevolent, just or free. Not one.
Gays being hanged under sharia:
Woman being whipped under sharia for standing too close to a man not her husband or father.
60-Year-Old Christian Woman Flogged For Selling Alcohol In Indonesia
The staff of a French weekly slaughtered in their offices for insulting Islam.
Devout Muslims in Texas open fire on a free speech event in violation of Islamic law.
Yes, be afraid.
HuffPo Columnist Lies, Downplays Sharia Law to Make It Acceptable
By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, August 9, 2016:Maryam Khan Ansari, who is identified as an âattorney and writer,â published a ridiculous piece in the Huffington Post Saturday: âWhat Is Sharia Law And Should You Be Scared? Why is Sharia such a scary word?â
Sharia is a scary word because sharia is scary.
The supremacist tenets of sharia law inform the creed apartheid, gender apartheid, Islamic Jew-hatred, codified bigotry, misogyny, free speech prohibitions and homophobia inherent in Islamic law. Sharia is scary because it is punitive, supremacist, racist and misogynist.
But Ansari says itâs scary because âfor starters, itâs short and easy to pronounce. When you add the word âcreepingâ in front of it, it starts to look even creepier. Especially since American people know very little, or nothing, about Islam, according to a Pew Research Poll.â She adds: âThe word âSharia Lawâ has Americans conjure up images of guys with turbans.â
No, sharia law conjures up the images of girls murdered in honor killings, beheadings, slaughters of gays, non-Muslims, apostates, and secular Muslims, whippings, floggings, amputations, and public hangings commanded in Islamic law. âGuys with turbansâ? Hardly.
It further erodes Ansariâs argument that she evokes the Sikhs. Sikhs have been brutally persecuted under the boot of Islam. Her article includes a picture of the actor and fashion designer Waris Ahluwalia, who is not a Muslim and follows a different religion called Sikhism. Waris is Sikh. I repeat, Waris is not Muslim, he is Sikh. But he wears a turban, so for Ansariâs purposes he must be Muslim, and he probably follows Sharia Law. Except that again, he is Sikh, not Muslim.
It gets worse. Ansari goes on: âBut wait a minuteâ does anyone actually know what Sharia Law even is? Iâm a lawyer and Iâm Muslim, so people think Iâm supposed to know Sharia Law. I bet many people probably think I follow it, simply because Iâm a Muslim.
So, I thought Iâd take the opportunity to set the record straight on Sharia Law. After all, who better to explain it than a Muslim lawyer?â
After that build-up, you would expect her to do what she promised to do: âset the record straight on Sharia Law.â Instead, she says: âI donât know squat about Sharia Law. I donât think many Muslims do. Yeah, you heard me. Iâm a lawyer, Iâm MuslimâŚÂ And I still couldnât tell you what Sharia law is all about.â
A Muslim who doesnât âknow squat about Sharia Lawâ is hardly fit to write about it, let alone attack those who oppose the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth. Muslims who donât practice or âknow squatâ about sharia law are not the problem. Muslims who seek to impose it are the problem. Muslim countries that enforce are the problem.
Maryam Khan Ansari defending Khzir Khan puts her foot in her mouth, because Khan is a longtime proponent of sharia law and knows a lot about it. Journalist Paul Sperry reports:
In 1983, for example, Khan wrote a glowing review of a book compiled from a seminar held in Kuwait called âHuman Rights In Islamâ in which he singles out for praise the keynote address of fellow Pakistani Allah K. Brohi, a pro-jihad Islamic jurist who was one of the closest advisers to late Pakistani dictator Gen. Zia ul-Haq, the father of the Taliban movement.
Khan speaks admiringly of Brohiâs interpretation of human rights, even though it included the right to kill and mutilate those who violate Islamic laws and even the right of men to âbeatâ wives who act âunseemly.â
Ansari keeps piling it on: âSharia Law is a very complicated body of law (imagine, like, a very difficult to understand Tax Code) and it isnât something that the average Muslim can understand in depth. And like American law, it doesnât come from just one book. It comes from many different sources. So like American law, only (some) properly trained legal people can make sense of it.â
Nonsense. Everywhere sharia law is practiced, the penalties are the same: stoning for adultery, death for apostasy, amputation of the hand for theft, death for criticism of Islam. Everywhere sharia is implemented. It really isnât complicated.
Ansariâs second âmythâ is: âAll Muslims believe in Sharia Law.â
No one believes all Muslims believe in sharia law. If that were the case, no Muslim who sought to impose it should be admitted into the USA. But we do see sharia being imposed here in America â with speech restrictions (under the guise of restrictions on âhate speechâ), the Islamization of the public square, the Islamization of the public school, the Islamization of the workplace, and the Islamization/mosqueing of the neighborhood.
Islamic scholars know what sharia is. Islamic theologians know. And when they donât, they consult Al Azhar scholars â Sunni Islamâs most prestigious institution. One principal English-language source for the content of Islamic law is Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law. Dr. Alan Godlas, Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Georgia, calls it a âcarefully translated manual of the proper practice of Islam (shariâa) according to the Shafiâi madâhab. It has been an essential book in the library of any serious English speaking Muslim or scholar of Islam since its publication in 1991.â
Ansari also insists that Muslims donât want to impose sharia in the U.S.:
Now, Iâm sure there are some crazies out there who want to impose Sharia Law on everyone. There are a lot of crazy people of all races and religions. But just because theyâre nuts, it doesnât mean that they can actually make it happen. In fact, anyone who thinks that Sharia Law will ever take over the U.S. Constitution is a different kind of crazy. And crazy people, while scary, really canât make the leadership of a country change.
More lies. Muslims fiercely work to impose the blasphemy laws under the sharia. The Muhammad cartoons are the most obvious example. All over the Muslim world, secular thinkers, poets, writers, journalists, bloggers, and cartoonists have been targeted for death because they were critical of Islam. How many Muslims stood with us in Garland, Texas? Zero.
As a modern Muslim woman, Maryam Khan Ansari should work to oppose the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth and free the millions oppressed, subjugated and slaughtered under the boot of sharia. Instead, she is a slave to it, advancing gruesome, unforgivable lies in order to disarm the American people in the face of the gravest threat to our freedom that we have ever faced.
