Muslims to gather to combat anti-Shariah movement
052312
By Omar Sacirbey
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 – Some 15,000 Muslims are expected at this weekend’s
37th annual convention of the Islamic Circle of North America in Hartford,
where the theme of “Defending Religious Freedom: Understanding Shariah”
reflects the worry that anti-Muslim activists are fanning fear of Islamic law
to marginalize U.S. Muslims.
The May 26-28 gathering, which is also sponsored by the Muslim American
Society, is the second-largest Muslim convention in the U.S., behind only the
annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, which draws between
30,000 and 40,000 people.
Earlier this month, the Kansas House and Senate joined Arizona, Oklahoma,
Missouri, South Dakota, and Tennessee in approving legislation to prohibit
state judges from considering foreign laws, including Shariah, in their
decisions. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, has not yet signed the bill.
“It’s a deep-down hatred of Muslims that motivates” the anti-Shariah movement,
said Naeem Baig, ICNA’s vice president of public affairs. “They don’t want to
see Muslims in America.”
Many of the convention programs focus on educating Muslims about Shariah, such
as myths about Shariah used to demonize Muslims, as well as its role in their
day-to-day lives.
“Muslims need to be educated about Shariah. There’s a need for the community to
better understand what Shariah means to us, and how to apply Shariah in a
society where most people are not of the same faith,” Baig said.
The convention is open to non-Muslims. About 100 or 150 non-Muslims have come
in recent years.
Some of the best-known Muslims in America will be speaking, including Rep.
Andre Carson, a Democratic Muslim from Indiana; Islamic Society of North
America President Imam Mohamed Magid; and Imam Siraj Wahaj of Brooklyn, who in
1991 became the first Muslim to give an Islamic invocation to the U.S. House of
Representatives.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
If anyone still wonders why more and more Westerners come to seriously
dislike Islam – it’s supremacist impositions and phantasmological demands like
these spruiked by ICNA. There is no anti-Muslim conspiracy, there is simply the
majority of Westerners telling you loud and clear: When in Rome…!
b.. Zak, California, May 26, 2012:
god then its wrong to execute the adulter what kind of logic is that?, then
the other hypocrisy’s is that they claim to be a country of freedom of religion
yet they want to ban shariah law why should it be a problem if its not
inflicting on anyone’s rights and only Muslims practicing it and why ban
shariah why not just ban the hadood which are the laws containing the
punishments if this whole banning of it isn’t against Islam……..but for us
Muslims there’s a way to go around these new rules just practice the same thing
but not call it by its name and if we majicly woke up one day and the majority
of americans are all a sudden muslim then there will be some laws that will
need some amending and Dominic i don’t know if you know Democracy is forging
from the Greeks and its a barbaric 14th century political ideology should we
then out law it here in America?
c.. Zak, California , May 26, 2012:
Dominic Carabello if you are so for human rights according to your own
definition im guessing, then you would be against the American government who
go around invading other peoples country’s and killing,torturing civilians
whole sale and propping up of the brutal oppressive dictators in the middle
east for generation’s who are enforcing the same punishment laws that you
despise so much and while there supporting regimes in the middle east then
there raping nuns in south america and infecting people with STDs for human
experiments in Guatemala why don’t we hear you complaining about “Human
Rights”?…….. Now to address all you ignorant backwards islamophobes, in Islam
we stone adulterers not woman theirs a difference to bad your pee sized brains
cant comprehend that and whats hilarious is the most who are complaining about
this are the right wing fascist Christians yet in there own theology and bible
they believe Trinity God Jesus inspired this law, now does this mean he is evil
and barbaric? ………….i also don’t know if anyone knows here in America capital
punishment is also applied yet in other secular democratic nations its outlawed
does this mean america is a backwards barbaric nation that’s against “human
rights”…….whats also interesting is that in america if you commit treason
,betraying a government you could hardly stand or trust they could get you
capital punishment yet if you betray your wife and break your oath that you
made with her and (continued)->

Shariah Law is a barbaric, 7th-century legal code that has infested many
Islamic nations. Here are the results of a stunning survey by world-renowned
pollsters at Pew Research Center in December 2010:
http://pewglobal.org/2010/12/02/muslims-around-the-world-divided-on-hamas-and-hezbollah/
***
% of Muslims who want DEATH PENALTY for those leaving Islam:
Egypt (82%)
Pakistan (82%)
***
% of Muslims endorsing STONING TO DEATH of adulterers (98% WOMEN):
Egypt (84%)
Pakistan (76%)
***
SHARIA LAW IS SUCH A BARBARIC VIOLATION OF BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS THAT IT CANNOT
BE TOLERATED IN CIVILIZED NATIONS.
e.. Nedzad, Massachusetts, May 26, 2012:
Anthony, how come “honor” kiling you can find in the Bible, but not in the
Quran???
Bert no one asks you to live under Sharia law, but I want to live under it,
and that is my choice. “Genital mutilation” is ordered by the Bible too, as
covenant of Abraham, and we proudly following it (and jews too).
How about Jim Jones and massive sucide christian cults in America. How about
christian pedofile priests, christian rapists and serial killers in the
Christian west? How about your single women going to the dogs? Or how about
spreading of incest which is blessed in the Bible??? You see, west has so many
and more seroius problems!!!

you want to live under Sharia law? Fine…have a nice trip to the middle east.
Been there during the gulf war, it’s s really nice place. Please note sarcasm.
REligion of peace my bum, history speaks for itself. Don’t really see alot of
buddhist, chatholic or mormon suicide bombers, do you? Any religion that
condones killing other people should be outlawed.
h.. Tony, Texas, May 25, 2012:
All of them will die. We are waiting for you. America will exterminate the
Islamic insects.

j.. Bert Dill, California, May 25, 2012:
I once took this oath, and I affirm it now: “I do solemnly swear that I will
support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
I shall never live under Shariah law or any law imposed upon me without my
consent. I shall never consent to wife beating, stoning, genital mutilation,
honor killings, necrophilia.
k.. Anthony, Missouri, May 24, 2012:
It’s not that we don’t want to see Muslims here. I’m Jewish, but love Muslim
people and culture. We just don’t want “honor” killings and wife beating to be
legalized, for Christians and other religions to be imprisoned or killed for
their faith as in other Islamic nations.
