SUBJECT:   SHARIA LAW IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION BUT THAT IS NOT STOPPING RADICAL ISLAMISTS FROM TRYING TO IMPLEMENT IT IN OUR COURT SYSTEMI

By Ed Hindson PhD

 

Dear Friend,

Sharia law is a growing global threat!

Egypt’s newly elected president, Mohammed Morsi, delivered a speech in Cairo on May 13, 2012 in which he declared: "The Koran is our constitution. The Prophet Muhammad is our leader. Jihad is our path. And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration."

Then, Morsi proclaimed

"This nation will enjoy blessing and revival only through the Islamic sharia [law]." He adds: "I take an oath before Allah and before you all that regardless of the actual text [of the current Egyptian constitution], Allah willing, the text will truly reflect sharia law, as will be agreed upon by the Egyptian people, by the Islamic scholars, and by legal and constitutional experts. Rejoice and rest assured that these people will not accept a text that does not reflect the true meaning of the Islamic sharia as a text to be implemented and as a platform. The people will not agree to anything else."

 

You may ask how Sharia law being exercised in Egypt and other countries in the Middle East affects you here in the United States. Let me tell you, there are dozens of cases in 23 states making their way through our court systems in an attempt to implement Sharia law.

Sharia law requires ALL to be Muslims or to submit to the authority of Muslims. It is OK to beat

women and children who disobey. It is OK for men to commit polygamy. It is OK for husbands to rape their wives. It is OK to chop off the hands of a thief.

Under Sharia law, it is OK to MURDER someone who offends Islam or their prophet Muhammad.

As you can see, Sharia law is in direct opposition to the United States Constitution, but that is not stopping radical Islamists from trying to undermine our freedom!

The citizens of the state of Oklahoma voted to BAN Sharia law from being used to decide court cases there. But NOW a federal appeals court has ruled that Oklahoma MAY NOT ban Islamic Sharia law.

I have written to you today because I want to know what you think. Do you believe radical, Islamic

Sharia law should be used in courtrooms throughout the United States?

The difference between radical Islamists and Christians is that Christians are willing to die for their faith, but they are not trying to kill people in an attempt to force them to become Christians.

Islam authorizes the use of force to make a convert, and the threat of death to keep a convert. It constitutes the world’s largest cult. It may be a world religion of a billion followers. but within those billion followers. there are literally over 100 million extremists and fanatics. Islam is not a religion of peace. That is nothing but a perpetrated lie!

·        Sura 9:5 in the Koran says, "Slay the infidels wherever you find them. The unbelievers: kill them."

·        Sura 22:39 says, "Sanction is given to those who fight for Allah." One of the major principles of the Islamic faith is jihad, the struggle to bring the Islamic religion to control the entire world.

·        Jihad is called; in Sura 4:41, a good deed.

·        In Sura 4:42 says it is a deed that is required by all faithful Muslims.

·        In Sura 4:46, it is a deed that guarantees Heaven. Those who fight in jihad are doing a good deed; they are guaranteed Heaven; they are under the blessing of their religion.

·        In Sura 4:177, jihad especially targets Jews. Jihad is followed always then by an act of worship in which Muslims give thanks to Allah, the god of Islam, because he has given them the victory over the unbeliever, the enemy.

Jesus told His followers:

·        Matthew 26:52: To Peter: "Put away your sword Into his place for all those who take the sword shall perish by the sword.” Put up your sword, Peter").

·        John 18:36: "My kingdom is not of this world: If My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight that I sould not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”". In other words, Jesus was saying, "My Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom. I reign and rule in the hearts of people who willingly embrace Me and accept Me as their Lord and Savior." He never authorized the use of force to spread the message of Christianity.

When we consider Christianity, with a message of faith, grace, and love to come to the Savior by your own free will and by your own free decision, and compare that to the bloody history of Islam, the comparison is shocking.

 

Muslims are fighting Muslims, and yet people maintain the delusion, "Oh,

it’s a religion of peace. We should just tolerate it." I want to remind you, toleration leads to more toleration and more toleration and ultimately to defeat.

Sometimes it is necessary to stand up against evil in the name of truth and righteousness.

Will you join me today in standing AGAINST ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW IN AMERICAN COURTS?

In a written plan for conquering the American system, the Muslim Brotherhood has stated that "open public confrontation with the government" must be used to exert "political pressure." The ultimate stated goal is "aggressive implementation of strict Islamic Shari a law."

They will not stop until they reach their goal. Our own U.S. Department of the Treasury has offered a course in "Sharia Finance" to help American banks cater to Islamic customers.

This growing threat of global jihad is focused around the idea of the Great Satan. In the Islamic religion, there is of course a violent hatred of Satan. The problem is, they often identify their political enemies as Satan. So in today’s current thinking among Islamic extremists, the United States is the Great Satan.

People ask all the time, "Why are they so angry? Why do they hate us so much?" Part of it is our own fault. Unsaved, ungodly Americans who promote an ungodly lifestyle constantly offend Muslims, and they do not even realize it. The excess of nudity and drunkenness, and the idolatry of the American public toward its entertainment industry, are offensive to many Muslims. As a result, their attitude is that America is the Great Satan, and therefore, America deserves to be destroyed. In reality, America needs to repent of its own sin. America needs to get right with God.

-. -Secondarily, Islamic extremists-view-Israel- as-the- Little- Satan~ There is a-battle coming in their minds in the future, between the Mahdi, the Muslim messiah, and Dajal, the Muslim Antichrist.

Eventually, their belief is that their form of a messiah will only conquer the world when the world is plunged into a massive global war of total chaos in the future. When that happens, the Great Satan is destroyed, Dajal is defeated, and the Mahdi. the Muslim messiah, then comes to reign and rule the world for Allah and defend the message of Muhammad, the prophet of God, and proclaim sharia law for the whole world.

We might wish for any religious movement that people would accept our belief system -- that people all over the world would come to faith in the message of Christ. But nobody that I know of, aside from Islam, is trying to spread their religion by force.

 

I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not-walk-in darkness, but-shall-have-the light of  life," -(-John-8:-1 2)

The Islamic religion says that Jesus, (Issa), is a prophet of God.

Jesus said to Thomas " (John 14:6)

·        "/ am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If He is a true prophet of God, then what He said must be true.

Jesus also said (-John-8:-12). “I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life." ..In-a-similar manner,-Jesus-declared, “I--­ am God," when (John 8:58).He said, “ verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was I.”

The Pharisees and Sadducees wanted to stone Him right on the spot. Why? They understood this was a claim of Deity. Yet John in his Gospel takes those "I am" statements, and he weaves them into the pictures of Christ.

·        "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:11).

·        "I am the way" (John 14:6).

·        "I am the resurrection, and the life" (John 11:25). "I am the true vine" (John 15:1).

All of those "I am" statements SHOUT to us of the Deity of the Person of Christ.

That is why Jesus could claim He could go to the cross and die for the sins of the world. Otherwise, He was simply one man, dying for Himself. He could not die for the sins of others, unless He indeed was the sinless Son of God Himself.

But Muhammad was convinced that God does not beget sons, and is not Himself begotten. So he demeaned Jesus by making Him merely a prophet who has to be in submission to him as the great prophet of God. Ultimately, he says, Jesus will return and break all the crosses, denounce Christianity, and affirm the Islamic religion.

Do not be so naive as to think the war on terrorism is just simply going to disappear, that it is just simply going to go away. It is not a war provoked by one man or one person or even a small group of people. It is an entrenched idea within Islamic extremism that is determined to destroy the West, to destroy the nation and people of Israel, and ultimately to bring in a worldwide caliphate in which Islamic leaders rule the entire world .

. They have been trying to do it for thirteen centuries. For much of that time, it has been largely confined to the Middle East. But today, in our modem world of jet transportation, internet communication, and satellite transmission, the threat is on our doorstep constantly, and it will not leave.

The Middle East is a bubbling cauldron. All indications point to catastrophic events.

Radical Islamists are not just attempting to move the chaos from the Middle East to courtrooms in the United States ... they are succeeding!

Your gift of support for our project, CHRISTIANS IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL, will enable us to not be passive -- but to actively continue to share the TRUTH about Israel, Sharia law and how it affects the world. This vile system of laws should NEVER be used to decide American court cases.
