Subject: Truth about Shariah law being exposed TODAY
I hope you will sign Liberty Counsel’s petition to stop the imposition of
Shariah Law
in our courts.
On this Veterans’ Day 2011, a major conference is taking place in
Nashville on the
impact of Shariah Law on the U.S. Constitution. As you know, this conference
has come under
great resistance because this issue is vital to the very future of our nation.
In just over a day, more than 16,000 citizens have signed our petition
opposing
Shariah law! I want to support this conference by demonstrating that thousands
of citizens
are taking a stand against the move to force our courts to accept Shariah law.
I’m resending my message from Wednesday with additional details and an
important
update on this crucial issue. Please see below and take a moment right now to
sign our
petition opposing the imposition of Shariah law in our courts:

My Personal Encounter with Shariah Law
By Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
Two weeks ago, I found myself directly in the crosshairs of the growing
conflict
between Shariah law and our Constitution.
The Oxford Dictionary of Islam defines “Shariah law” as “God’s eternal
and immutable
will for humanity, as expressed in the Quran and Muhammad’s example (Sunnah),
considered
binding for all believers.”
In practical terms, “Shariah” also describes a movement under way in
European and
American legal systems to overturn Western civilization through the imposition
of Islamic
law and culture. As a constitutional attorney, I can tell you firsthand that
this phenomenon
is accelerating at an alarming rate.
++Hotel cancels conference on Shariah law.
An important conference featuring leading experts on the Constitution and
Shariah law
was originally scheduled to be held at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville,
Tennessee, today. But
just days ago, Hutton Hotel banned the conference and cancelled a perfectly
valid contract,
claiming “safety concerns.”
Thankfully, the conference quickly found another venue, but not without
great
expense and difficulty.
The fact is, private companies and municipalities are facing more and
more pressure to
cater to or adopt special rules for Muslims. In one recent case, Muslim workers
claimed
“unfair labor practices” because they were told to clock out before taking
prayer breaks. In
another instance, claims of discrimination were leveled when Muslim women were
told not to
wear their head scarves for safety reasons before going on a roller coaster.
And now in courts of law across this nation, Shariah law is already being
applied in
case after case.
++There are actually dozens of “Shariah law” cases in our courts!
A study by the Center for Security Policy found 50 state court cases that
considered
Shariah law. To make matters worse, these cases referenced differing variations
of Shariah
law from 16 countries. The study concluded, “[J]udges are making decisions
deferring to
Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with constitutional protections.”
The Center’s study was by no means exhaustive, but instead was taken from
a “small
sample of appellate published cases.” That means, in reality, Shariah law could
be being
applied in hundreds of other courtrooms across this nation!
++The greatest threat we face from radical Islam.
The truth is, the greatest threat our nation now faces from radical Islam
is not in
the form of another 9/11 attack, but rather in the slow, steady, and systematic
implementation of Shariah law.
It’s already happening in Europe where schools are adopting special rules
for Muslim
students during Rhamadan. Europe is so far gone that the Archbishop of
Canterbury (the head
of the Church of England) said that the adoption of Shariah law is
“unavoidable” and the
idea that “there is one law for everybody” is now in “a bit of a danger.”
++Liberty Counsel’s petition opposing Shariah law in our courts.
When the Hutton Hotel in Nashville banned the conference on Shariah law,
I immediately
sent them a strongly worded Demand Letter objecting to their suppression of
free speech
rights.
It was then that I knew we had to do more immediately. That’s why Liberty
Counsel is
launching a new Citizen Petition opposing the use of Shariah law in our courts
and culture.
I am asking you to be among the early signers of this petition as, together, we
build a
grassroots coalition to stop Shariah law. Go here to sign:
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=56499&RID=32576703
The petition also supports Liberty Counsel’s “Demand Letter” sent to
Hutton Hotel, and
their owners at Amerimar Enterprises in Philadelphia, protesting their
anti-free speech move
to ban the conference. Go here to see our Demand Letter:
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=56499&RID=32576703
Liberty Counsel’s legal team will stand at the forefront of those
confronting this
growing challenge to our Constitution and way of life. But right now, I need
your signature
on this petition opposing Shariah law so I can demonstrate to companies,
municipalities,
political leaders, and even courts that citizens across America are taking a
stand on this
vital issue!
Thank you so much for your prayers, your support, and your action on
behalf of our
God-given liberties!
