Despite Blacks Enslaved by Muslims Across the  World, Maxine Waters Calls 
Americans Bigots for Opposing Sharia  Law

 
 
Leftists, collectivists, and race-baiters are consistently on the side of  
evil. It’s astonishing. 
The none-too-bright Maxine Waters is carrying water for the most brutal and 
 extreme ideology on the face of the earth. Waters, a black woman, should 
be  condemning a system of governance that is inherently racist. Blacks are 
enslaved  under the sharia — not just 100 years ago, but TODAY. The word for 
black in  Arabic is “abeed,” or slave. 
20% of the population of Mauritania are blacks enslaved by Muslims. 
Under the sharia, a woman is the property of men. Under the sharia, a woman’
s  testimony in an Islamic court of law is worth a fraction of a man’s. 
Under the  sharia, honor violence is sanctioned. Under the sharia, a convert 
out of Islam  is punished by death. Under the sharia, a woman needs the 
testimony of four male  witnesses in order to prove rape. Under the sharia, a 
rape 
victim can escape  jail time if she marries her rapist. 
If anyone is a racist bigot, it’s Waters. She made these remarks in 2012  —

 
“Maxine Waters: Americans are Bigots for Opposing Sharia Law,” By Tim

I confess I’ve been called a bigot for lots of things simply because I have 
a  Christian worldview. I’ve been called it by atheists, homosexuals and 
Islamists,  but they always use that because they simply cannot defend their 
positions, and  so, they resort to name calling. It shouldn’t surprise anyone 
then that  socialist Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) spoke at an 
Islamic Society of  Orange County town hall meeting on the issue of the 
Constitution and Sharia  law. 
Keep in mind that this town hall meeting took place in 2012, but her words  
are still relevant today because she and others like her continue to think 
like  this. Also keep in mind that the Islamic Society of Orange County 
claims to be a  “non-political organization.” 
“Over the last year, and due to the focus of House Republicans on so-called 
 ‘Muslim radicalization,’ we have seen politicians and pundits attacking 
the  Islamic faith as a security threat to the United States,” she said. “
Across the  country, these people are exploiting fear and trying to convince 
state  legislatures that the state adoption of Sharia tenants is the strategy 
 extremists are using to transform the United States into an Islamic  
country.” 
 
Wow! There is far too much in just that one statement that is easily  
demonstrated to be true. First, as I always point out, there is no “radical  
Islam,” only Islam. Republicans need to get that right. Second, it wasn’t  
Republicans who _tweeted this out_

_Or this_

No, my friends, that is from a _Democrat  Islamic imam_

extremists,”_

  yet we know  they 
are simply those that follow the _teachings of Islam_ 
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X1T7MS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creati
veASIN=B000X1T7MS&linkCode=as2&tag=freedomoutpos-20&linkId=PKUS3QLHVHUQQ42L)
  found in the _Qur’an_ 
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596981040/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1596981040&linkCode=as2
&tag=freedomoutpos-20&linkId=SB5V7N32LUH6TT4F) . 
As for the strategy of adopting Sharia, well let’s be clear, Sharia is the  
law in Islam. It applies to Islamists as well as the infidels (at least in 
the  Islamists minds). It is not championed by extremists, but Islamists. In 
fact,  Islam is very optimistic in its view of dominating the world, just 
as Christians  view the power of the gospel to do the same thing. Therefore, 
they seek to gain  ground in every country they dwell in for the sake of 
Allah. This means a  transformation of every country into an Islamic country. 
As for the claim of strategy, one need only look to the _goals of the 
Muslim Brotherhood_ 
(http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Muslim-Brotherhood-goals.pdf)
  to determine whether this is a  strategy or a 
conspiracy theory. I’ll go with what the Muslim Brotherhood has  written 
concerning this issue. Mrs. Waters is either ignorant (without excuse)  or she 
is 
complicit. In either case, this woman is not fit to hold office. 
She then declared that, at the time, at least thirteen states were looking 
to  adopt legislation forbidding Sharia. What is wrong with that? We have a 
US  Constitution. That’s the law in the US. Each State has a Constitution 
and as far  as I know, not one of them is Sharia compliant. But what happens 
when states try  and push forward this legislation? You guessed it, the 
Islamists and their  socialist and communist friends come out of the woodwork 
to 
try and _beat it down_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/06/mo-governor-jay-nixon-vetoes-anti-sharia-bill/)
 . Just look at Oklahoma, where the federal  
government _tried to force them to overturn anti-Sharia law and to pay  
Islamists $303,333_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/feds-force-oklahoma-overturn-anti-sharia-law-pay-islamists-303333/)
 ! 
After speaking about Newt Gingrich’s call for Sharia not to be recognized 
by  any court in the United States, she smugly declared that she doesn’t mind 
 calling names and telling it like it is, but you will find absolutely no 
mention  in her pre-written speech about the _Muslim Brotherhood’s goals_ 
(http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Muslim-Brotherhood-goa
ls.pdf) , will you? 

In fact, the very _document_ 
(http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Muslim-Brotherhood-goals.pdf)
  I reference speaks of: 
    *   Establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the 
Muslim  Brotherhood.  
    *   Adopting Muslims’ causes domestically and globally.  
    *   Expanding the observant Muslim base.  
    *   Unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts.  
    *   Presenting Islam as a civilization alternative  
    *   Supporting the establishment of the global Islamic State wherever 
it is.  
Hmmm, global Islamic State, eh? I’m pretty sure Barack Obama knew about 
these  goals before his speech the other night when he _deceptively declared 
that the Islamic State was neither Islamic  nor a state_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/09/obama-taqiyya-claim-islamic-state-neither-islamic-state/)
 . 
But I digress. 
Islam means to change the very culture you live in and the laws you live  
under America. If you have any doubts, understand that a current imam at the  
Islamic Society of Orange County and former president of the Islamic 
Society of  North America, Muzammil H. Siddiqi, issued this fatwa on 
_Islamonline.net_ 
(http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544898)
  (the link has now dead, 
but did find it in the  _web archives here_ 
(http://web.archive.org/web/20070926213530/http:/www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-Eng
lish-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544898) ). 
“It is true that Islam stands for the sovereignty of Allah the Almighty  
and Allah’s rules are not limited to the acts of worship, they also include  
social, economic and political matters. By participating in a non-Islamic  
system, one cannot rule by that which Allah has commanded. But things do not  
change overnight. Changes come through patience, wisdom and hard  work. 
I believe that as Muslims, we should participate in the system to safeguard 
 our interests and try to bring gradual change for the right cause, the 
cause  of truth and justice. We must not forget that Allah’s rules have to be  
established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that  direction.
” (emphasis mine)
Our land was _established on the teachings of the Scriptures of the Old and 
New  Testaments_ 
(http://sonsoflibertymedia.com/2014/08/united-states-originally-established-christian-state-level/)
 , not the Qur’an, but Islamists 
are telling us their goal is to  transform not just the US, but all lands into 
Islamic lands. 
While she does state that national security must not target or single out  
anyone individually with techniques that focus on racial profiling, she 
claims  to increase understanding and engagement. However, Islam is not a race. 
It’s an  ideology. She attempts to do what Democrats always do and that is 
the same thing  the homosexuals do: Equate a choice with a person’s skin 
color. To that end, she  supported _HR3618_ 
(https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr3618) , which was a horrible 
piece of legislation that was  
thankfully not enacted. 
Waters is right that we should not hold the entire Muslim community at 
fault  for the violent acts of a few. The reality is that we have barely heard 
a 
peep  from the Muslim community about terrorist attacks. In fact, in most 
cases,  Muslims for the most part seem to be supporting them as evidenced in  
pro-Palestinian marches around the world, _including in the US_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/08/obamas-america-jews-forced-front-white-house-terror-s
upporters-allowed-protest/)  like _this one here_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/09/hezbollah-openly-supported-streets-orlando/) 
. However, every 
practicing Muslim holds to the  Qur’an as the Word of God and as such, they 
have 
some explaining to do regarding  what it teaches… usually that ends in 
deception rather than truth. 
She then went on to quote the _Southern Poverty Law Center_ 
(http://sonsoflibertymedia.com/2014/08/tell-truth-shame-southern-poverty-law-center/)
 , who 
claims that “hate groups” are  at an all-time high. It’s funny that they 
don’t list themselves as a hate group.  Since they failed to do so, I’ll 
just add them to my list of hate groups. But  Waters went on to say the “
radical right” terrorism was growing. As of yet, I  haven’t seen them fly 
planes 
into buildings or behead their enemies. 
One realizes that violence can erupt from various people. We are fallen and 
 sinful. Of that, there is no question, but when a self-professed Christian 
 engages in some act of random violence that is not self-defense or the 
defense  of someone else, do they get shouted down? Absolutely. And why is 
that? It’s  because they go against the _teachings of Scripture_ 
(http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=bible&link
Code=ur2&tag=freedomoutpos-20&url=search-alias=aps&linkId=VSLZJLE7PWC45B5W) 
. In Islam, that’s not the case, as has  been demonstrated over and over. 
While Waters quotes statistics of some in the Muslim community giving aid 
to  stopping terrorist attacks and points out that across all ideologies 
there have  been a number of terrorist attacks that have been thwarted. Again, 
one has to  answer the question of the source of terrorism in those 
ideologies. In the case  of Islam, _it is their foundation_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/04/still-think-islam-is-a-religion-of-peace-you-wont-after-seeing-this
/) , the Qur’an. 
Though she claims there shouldn’t be racial profiling, she doesn’t say  
anything about _mothers having their rights violated at the airports_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/10/mom-found-guilty-of-disorderly-conduct-after-refus
ing-tsa-pat-down/)  or  grandmothers being _held as a terrorist when buying 
a car_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/07/grandma-held-as-terrorist-while-buying-car/) 
 that are supposed to be  protected by the Fourth Amendment. She 
doesn’t raise the issue that the _Islamic Society of North America is 
attacking your right to keep and bear arms_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/04/islamic-society-of-north-america-isna-brady-campaign-join-to-oppose-the-second-
amendment/)  that are also protected under the Second Amendment, does she?  
She doesn’t bring up the fact that _federal attorneys_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/06/the-not-so-veiled-threat-to-non-muslims-in-tennessee/)
 , 
under Attorney General Eric Holder, have _threatened you with fines and 
imprisonment_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/06/federal-attorney-warns-negative-posts-against-islam-could-get-you-prosecution-imprisonment/)
  if you _speak out 
negatively about Islam_ 
(http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/06/massive-crowd-protests-dojs-attack-on-free-speech/)
 , does she? No, she does not,  because 
that would go against her assertions.
