Imagine you were a teenage girl in Pakistan, and your parents married you off very young. The marriage is a disaster but you have no rights. You flee with your daughter to the U.S., you hide out for two years until the detective he hires finds you. In Pakistan, under the Islamic law there, the means of obtaining a divorce is only available to a man, but never of course to a woman. He demands full custody of your daughter. Oh, and he’s accused you of adultery.
You consider flying to Pakistan, to contest the divorce, but adultery is a crime under Islamic Law in Pakistan, a crime which is punishable by death. You will literally be arrested the moment you de-board the plane, in Karachi. You could face prison time, or even be stoned to death. And in Pakistan, your testimony under Islamic law is worth only half that of a man’s. Then you remember, you’re in America now and you have rights.
So, you petition the American courts, filing for a real divorce. But unfortunately, your husband has a Pakistani judge as an expert witness who he flies in to testify in the Maryland court – and the judge accepts his view of Shariah’s “best interests of the child” as the same as Maryland’s “best interests of the child. You and your daughter are simply outgunned.
And to your surprise, you find out that the American courts have been convinced to bow to Islamic Law (the Sharia), and you are now without any money, you have lost your home, and you have even lost your daughter.
Does this sound just too crazy to be true – like something that just could not happen in America? In fact, this kind of reckless disregard for American law, in American courts, is actually more common than one might think. This scenario resembles what happened to one woman inMaryland, and it’s happening all over the country.
In the case of Joohi Hosain of Maryland, the court shockingly abandoned American standards, in making their ruling. The court ruling stated that the best interests of the child should be determined not by American law, but by applying Pakistani customs and an adherence to Islamic standards.
But sadly, the story gets even worse. The radical Islamist website, ShariaInAmerica.com, is celebrating this and other cases like it, as victories for Sharia Law in America. As part of a larger initiative to bring America more into alignment with Islamic Law, they rejoice over the court’s ruling, and provide resources for others who support the advancement of Political Islam in America, as to how they can prevail by imposing Sharia Law onto our American legal system. And, it is working!
JudicialWatch.org cites former Central Intelligence Agency Director Jim Woolsey, a foreign policy specialist who has worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations, as saying that the United States is, not only at war with terrorists such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, but also with those who, over the long run, want to impose Sharia law. The former CIA Director indicated that Sharia is a theocratic dictatorship, extremely opposed to democracy and a movement to eliminate and destroy western civilization. He has also pointed out that the radical Islamic group, theMuslim Brotherhood, is largely behind the effort to bring Sharia to the United States.
So, is it really true, that this spike in verifiable cases, where American law is eclipsed by Islamic law, is part of a larger and more sinister objective, on the part of Islamists? Can we really go the way of Turkey, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Kosovo, Indonesia and so many other nations – nations who, over time, have fallen to Political Islam through the advancement of Sharia Law? It goes without saying, of course, that every nation which has allowed the advancement of Sharia into its culture is a nation where citizens do not enjoy the human rights that we enjoy today, under the law, in America.
Some might argue that such a scenario for America would be a bit extreme. Perhaps a more likely scenario would be radicalized enclaves (like the Jamaat ul Fuqra enclaves that are already established across America), that result from Islamic birth rates and immigration continuing to expand and more and more demands being made for special accommodation – such as what is brewing in much of Europe. Others have asserted that we may face a challenge not unlike the Cold War, where an enormous amount of our focus and resources are used up in order to protect our sovereignty and our liberty.
