This is lisa's interpretation of the Sharia Law she and her rightie friends think is coming to America...
1- Jihad defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the
religion” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph).
Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to
rule.
2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.
3-
A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as
murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.
4- A percentage of Zakat (alms) must go towards jihad.
5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.
6- A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.
7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph in one case, if he rejects Islam.
8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.
9-
A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of : 1) an apostasy 2) an
adulterer 3) a highway robber. Making vigilante street justice and honor
killing acceptable.
10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim.
11-
Sharia never abolished slavery and sexual slavery and highly regulates
it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.
12-
Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs,
flogging and other forms of cruel and unusual punishments even for
crimes of sin such as adultery.
13- Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims and must comply to Sharia if
they are to remain safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women,
publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or openly
celebrate their religious holidays or funerals. They are forbidden from
building new churches or building them higher than mosques. They may not
enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no longer protected
if he commits adultery with a Muslim woman or if he leads a Muslim away
from Islam.
14- It is a crime for a non-Muslim to sell weapons
to someone who will use them against Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot curse a
Muslim, say anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam, or
expose the weak points of Muslims. However, the opposite is not true for
Muslims.
15- A non-Muslim cannot inherit from a Muslim.
16- Banks must be Sharia compliant and interest is not allowed.
17-
No testimony in court is acceptable from people of low-level jobs,
such as street sweepers or a bathhouse attendant. Women in such low
level jobs such as professional funeral mourners cannot keep custody of
their children in case of divorce.
18- A non-Muslim cannot rule even over a non-Muslims minority.
19- Homosexuality is punishable by death.
20-
There is no age limit for marriage of girls under Sharia. The marriage
contract can take place anytime after birth and consummated at age 8 or
9.
21- Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the
husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her
and keep her from leaving the home.
22- Divorce is only in the
hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: “I divorce you” and
becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.
23-
There is no community property between husband and wife and the
husband’s property does not automatically go to the wife after his
death.
24- A woman inherits half what a man inherits.
25- A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and she has no right to divorce him even if he is polygamous.
26- The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs.
27-
A man is allowed to have sex with slave women and women captured in
battle, and if the enslaved woman is married her marriage is annulled.
28- The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man.
29- A woman looses custody if she remarries.
30- To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.
31- A rapist may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim.
32-
A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body which is considered
“Awrah,” a sexual organ. Some schools of Sharia allow the face and some
don’t.
33- A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife caught
in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women
since he “could be married to the woman he was caught with.”
This is one of the comments about lisa's interpretation of Sharia law....

Lisa's enumeration of sharia is enough to make anybody puke. If this is
the word of the Koran, then anyone who advocates sharia should be
considered an enemy of our representative republic. Nearly all of
sharia is criminal here in the U.S.
Wow, Fredd and lisa really should educate themselves before they start spewing such stupidity. This is the problem in America today. These righties get ass over head, they do not do the research needed to post a comment on a subject, but simply recite the words a hateful rightwing website tells them to.
Here is a portion of a post by Sumbul Ali Karamali, on September 3, 2010, Huffington Post.....
Hasn't the whole notion of shariah in America gotten a bit out of
control? No, it hasn't -- it's gotten hugely, obscenely, ignorantly out
of control. How many of those anti-Islam protesters holding "NO SHARIA
LAW" signs (
as if anyone were advocating shariah law in the U.S.) actually know what the word means? I'd say, oh, none. Roughly.
Shariah (also spelled shari'ah or sharia or shari'a) is the Arabic
word for "the road to the watering place." In a religious context, it
means "the righteous path." Loosely, it can mean simply, "Islam."
There are six principles of shariah. They are derived from the
Qur'an, which Muslims believe is the word of God. All Islamic religious
rules must be in line with these six principles of shariah.
Aha! The six principles must be about killing infidels, veiling
women, stoning people for adultery, honor killings and female genital
cutting, right? Nope.
Here they are, the six principles of shariah:
1. The right to the protection of life.
2. The right to the protection of family.
3. The right to the protection of education.
4. The right to the protection of religion.
5. The right to the protection of property (access to resources).
6. The right to the protection of human dignity.
Well, bless me, as a pledge-of-allegiance-reciting, California-raised
Muslim girl, these six principles sound a lot like those espoused in my
very own Constitution of the United States. Except that these were
developed over a thousand years ago.
This is the core of shariah -- these six principles. The term
"shariah law" is a misnomer, because shariah is not law, but a set of
principles. To Muslims, it's the general term for "the way of God."
you can finish reading here but I want to add her closing words....
Repeating a lie over and over again doesn't make it true; but it
certainly results in people believing the lie. That's what the
Islam-haters are counting on. That, and the ignorance about Islamic
tenets.
So the best thing to do is find out what Islam really is about. Talk
to a Muslim in person. Read an introduction to Islam (try a fun one like
mine). Read
Loonwatch to read about the holes in the anti-Islamic rhetoric. Or take a look at the
University of Georgia's informational website on Islam,
for some quick answers and further reading. If you read the anti-Islam
fear-mongering websites, all you'll learn will be tall tales.
Bigotry may be a human tendency, but America has never stood for
bigotry. I believe in an America that stands for pluralism and
multicultural understanding. The hysteria and hate toward Muslims -
resulting in several acts of violence against Muslims just this week,
such as a stabbing and arson - is un-American. We must stop it, and the
first step is understanding and education.
Sumbul Ali-Karamali is an attorney with an additional degree in
Islamic law, as well as the author of "The Muslim Next Door: the Qur'an,
the Media, and that Veil Thing."
This is why we liberals are here. We need to expose the stupidity coming from the right!
