Last fall, after NPR fired Juan Williams for his remarks on The O'Reilly Factor about Muslims, we sent out an email describing this as an example of the de facto imposition of sharia law in America. Our point was this. Sharia law prohibits any criticism or "defamation" of Islam or Mohammed. When a government-funded entity like NPR punishes one of its contributors for a perceived slight against Islam, this is in effect the enforcement of that provision of sharia law. Recently, an insightful and entertaining video was posted on YouTube that makes the claim that the government's treatment of the Koran, compared to its treatment of the Bible, has the effect of establishing Islam as a preferred religion in America. It's a fascinating analysis that is well-worth your time to watch, and you can view it here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErzxOz3Dzv8&feature=player_embedded#at=194> . When you watch it, you'll understand why we say the threat of radical Islam to America is not confined to terrorism. If we defeat terrorism but lose our freedoms to sharia law, we still lose.
