First and foremost the practice of Sharia Law/also known as Islamic Law must be banned within all 50 states constitutions as well as US territories..
Second the US Congress must pass a bill making the practice of Sharia Law within the borders of the US as well as it's territories a class A felony punishable by 5 years in prison and a $100,000 fine...As well as revoking naturalized citizenship/or resident alien card and deportation from the United States.
Now before the challenges start let me make this perfectly clear Islamic/Sharia law is not like Christian Canon Law nor Jewish Law...they are neither civil nor criminal laws...They are infractions of church doctrine limited to within the church and the only penalty if severe enough is expulsion/ex-communication from the church!
Now in contrast to Islamic/Sharia Law...this is a Theocracy which is a combination of religious doctrine and government control/Law! As one can clearly see... the conflict between Islamic Sharia Law and US Law/Constitution/Bill of Rights..It would be a government of itself working within the bounds of the United States of America...which can be defined as a invading government/army attempting to take over the United States of America through coercion and or force!
Shari’ah, or Islamic law, is brutal and the "centerpiece and backbone of the religion of Islam." It is based on the Qur’an, which Muslims believe is the revealed book of God given to Muhammad over 23 years, ending in 632 CE, and the Sunnah, or example of the Prophet Muhammad, whom Muslims believe was divinely guided. The Hadith, which are sayings of Muhammad and provide information about the Sunnah, were recorded in the two centuries after Muhammad’s death in authenticated hadith collections. Islamic law prescribes Muslim behavior in every aspect of life from private matters between the individual and God to relationships with others from the family or the widest community.
ie:
Some other common features of Sharia law, some taken from the Koran, some from subsequent legal texts:
- While in public, women must cover their faces with a Hijab.
- Men can have up to four wives and can divorce (called talaq) at their option. If they do not divorce their first wife but just abandon her, she is obliged to carry on as a married woman and cannot seek out another spouse without risking the traditional punishment for adultery: stoning. Stoning is done in public by first wrapping a person in a blanket and burying them in a deep hole exposing their head and the population gathered around is invited to throw large stones at the adulterer, the size of which Sharia law prescribes, and a sentence always fatal.
- The penalty after a fourth conviction of a homosexual act is death.
- Adoption is not allowed. Adults can become guardians of the children of others but not the legal parents through adoption.
- Sharia law prohibits dating and marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim and it is practically impossible for a Muslim (even a recent convert) to renounce the Muslim faith.
- Any abandonment of the Muslim faith is itself a serious crime (apostasy) with severe punishment.
- Sharia law has a stringent evidentiary requirement for eye witnesses, preferably from men. Convictions for crimes cannot be based on circumstantial evidence alone.
- Vagrancy can carry tough penalties such as jail and caning.
- Generally, a person alleged to have violated Sharia laws in the states governed by them would not be pursued, or apprehended, in states not governed by Sharia laws.
- Many states which implement Sharia law have blasphemy statutes which punishes by prison or death any person who such as preaching Christianity or the distribution of Christian items.
Muslims or adherents of the Muslim faith, often resent the portrayal of Sharia as medieval. If a statement of law is set out their great book, the Koran, that, to them, is a full response.
Muslims point to "social problems" they say are endemic to countries with other systems of law (such as tolerance of non-traditional sexual orientation, personal crime and divorce rates) and add that the invasive and deterrent features of Sharia law are merited as this arrests those "problems" and thus frees the people and society to attain their true potential, as God aspires.
As with most theocracies, Sharia law is difficult if not impossible to reconcile with the fundamental principles of democracy. One of the features of Sharia is that, in theory, it is invariable and stable. Democratic principles such as political pluralism, and the constant tug towards expanding individual freedoms, are incompatible with Sharia.
In Refash Party v Turkey, the European Court of Human Rights adopted these words:
"It is difficult to declare one's respect for democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting a regime based on sharia, which clearly diverges from values (of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms), particularly with regard to its criminal law and criminal procedure, its rules on the legal status of women and the way it intervenes in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts....
"In the Court's view, a political party whose actions seem to be aimed at introducing Sharia in a State party to the Convention can hardly be regarded as an association complying with the democratic ideal that underlies the whole of the Convention."
The Shari’ah contains categories and subjects of Islamic law called the branches of fiqh (literally, "understanding"). They include Islamic worship, Family relations, Inheritance, Commerce, Property law, Civil (tort) law, Criminal law, Administration, Taxation, Islamic Constitution, International Relations, War and Ethics, and other categories.
I rest my case!
