Sharia law controls every aspect during the Muslim’s life and leaving Islam during a Muslim’s lifetime is punishable by death under Shari’a Law. This post explores the strict social regulations of Shari’a law and the punishments involved for breaking those laws. The post will be kept up to date with contemporary links, (below the text body). Some of the images linked to this are graphically disturbing, but those are marked with a WARNING in the “mouse over.”

The Foundry: The truth is that imposition of Sharia law in the United States, especially when mixed with a perverted sense of political correctness, poses a danger to civil society. Just last year, a Muslim man in Buffalo, New York beheaded his wife in what appeared to be an honor killing, again using his faith to justify his actions. It is doubtful that the domestic violence and rape in this recently overturned case will be the last Americans see of Sharia being impermissibly used to justify brutal acts on our soil. As former Assistant Secretary of Defense Frank Gaffney wrote recently:

Sharia is no less toxic when it comes to the sorts of democratic government and civil liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. According to this legal code of Saudi Arabia and Iran, only Allah can make laws, and only a theocrat can properly administer them, ultimately on a global basis.

Accuracy in Media:

Sharia Incompatible with Western Law - Among the concerns that people have about Sharia is that their actions or people’s accusations against them of apostasy or blasphemy can lead to imprisonment or death. Apostasy, the abandonment of one’s religion, is converting from Islam to Christianity or another religion or becoming agnostic or atheist; whereas blasphemy is practicing a non-Islamic religion or committing an action that offends Islam, members of an Islamic community, or by making comments that are believed to be derogatory toward the prophet Muhammad. Under Sharia, in some countries, all are actions that are punishable by a 25 years-to-life sentence in prison or the death penalty.

Subjects regulated under Shari’a

• APOSTASY: definition of apostasy is “leaving, departing away from, or deserting, one’s religion.” Arabic “irtidad”. Traditional Islāmic law prescribes the penalty of death for a Muslim who commits apostasy. The punishment is not stated in the Quran, but is said to be based on certain Hadith. The Quran does not come out and state explicitly that apostates should be killed. However, there are a number of Quranic verses that pertain to apostasy and various Muslim scholars found in them the justification to  apostates.

Do you enjoy “connect the dots” games?  Want to see a  Political TURKEY appear before your eyes, here’s some political dots you can connect:

• Did you ever wonder how Øbama pulled Elena Kagan’s name out of the hat as a nominee for the Supreme Court?
• Did you wonder how did Øbama even know who Kagan was?
• Ever wonder about Kagan’s “connection” with the Supreme Court and why Øbama thought she was qualified?
• Ever wonder how Chicago Style Politics could affect the birther issue and even affect the Supreme Court of the United States?
  

Øbama, Kagan, Birthers and Chicago Politics. Connect them and you will see an aberration appear out of political dust and media inattention that is stunning.  Ready. Go.

Øbama and Eligibility: We really don’t have to discuss this much at this site because we have over 250 documented links to the subject HERE – Eligibility and Credibility at The Patriot’s Flag.  Bottom line, Øbama still has not proven his citizenship and has spent over $2,000,000 trying to keep the records of it suppressed and sealed.  So there is serious doubt as to this man’s “eligibility” to be President of the United States.

Eligibility and Kagan: Elena Kagan was the Solicitor General. And one case in particular she handled was for a petition brought against Øbama concerning his presidential eligibility filed against him with the Supreme Court. So Kagan was represented Øbama in that petition questioning his citizenship . She was successful and the petition was denied. Now that she is on the Supreme Court, she may help rule on his eligibility.  The proof follows, below is a link the docket number … note the name of the Solicitor General, Elena Kagan, notice the status: Petition Denied.  This is not “hearsay, here is a direct link  to the docket of the Supreme Court of the United States and her name is one it:

• No. 09-724 – The Real Truth About Øbama, Inc., Petitioner v. Federal Election Commission, et al.

Kagan and Chicago Politics – The way Chicago Politics works, if I do something for you, then you will turn around and do something for me. Such politics have NOTHING to do with the people who elected you to office or entrusted you with office.  Kagan, was the Solicitor General on all of the petitions questioning Øbama’s eligibility and all of them (so far) were denied.  Øbama now “owed” Kagan BIG time, and as per Chicago Politics … she got the nod to the nomination. This is how he “knew her” this is how she was “tied to the Supreme Court” and was and will be a ‘perfect fit’ in his “eligibility strategy” for the future.

Kagan, Chicago and Øbama – Kagan and Øbama also worked together at the University of Chicago. Kagan joined the staff there in 1991 and won tenure in 1995. Øbama was a part-time lecturer there between 1992 and 2004 when he was elected to the US Senate. According to reports she tried to convince him to pursue a tenure track at the university. Obviously Øbama had more grandiose ideas about where his career would lead him, but what a perfect bookend for her to be nominated to become a Supreme Court Justice. So again, the “connection” goes back to Chicago.

Kagan and Øbama – Kagan, as stated above was the Solicitor General that got the petitions denied. Now, as a sitting Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States … she will be able to make Supreme Court rulings on Øbama’s eligibility. Because Kagan supported Øbama in getting the eligibility petitions denied, Øbama supported her to get on the Supreme Court, and now that she is on the Supreme Court, she owes Øbama and will protect him against any eligibility rulings that reach that bench.

It doesn’t stop with Eligibility: Chicago politics are about “payback.”  Kagan is on the court, she “owes” Øbama. So when she is needed for a controversial verdict from the bench, a short phone call from the White House can swing that vote.  If anyone thinks, after all this, that she would use the “rule of law” to make a decision, then they are suffering from severe naivety.

The Bottom Line

Chicago Politics are Ugly … but worse, they are DANGEROUS to the well-being of the Freedoms and Liberties of the Citizens of the United States.  This administration has attacked Freedom and Liberty over and over … this is just another example. Chicago Politics has now spread from the Congress, to the Presidency and now to the Supreme Court.  Liberty and Freedom are lost.

And another perfect example of why this regime must be taken out in November.

Signature with Zero: And if you are wondering why I am using Øbama with the “zero” …  it’s because he does.  Always amazing why he would want to sign his name with a zero …

ADMINISTRATION HALTS PROSECUTION

OF ALLEGED USS COLE BOMBER

Washington Post: Thursday, August 26, 2010; 8:47 pm: The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing. The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden. In a filing this week in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department said that “no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future.”

In Remembrance:

Here is a list of the sailors that were killed in this attack:

• Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class* Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va.
• Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer* Richard Costelow, 35, of Morrisville, Pa.
• Mess Management Specialist Seaman Lakeina Monique Francis, 19, of Woodleaf, N.C.
• Information Systems Technician Timothy Lee Gauna, 21, of Rice, Texas
• Signalman Seaman* Cherone Louis Gunn, 22, of Rex, Ga.
• Seaman James Rodrick McDaniels, 19, of Norfolk, Va.
• Engineman Second Class Marc Ian Nieto, 24, of Fond du Lac, Wis.
• Electronics Warfare Technician Second Class* Ronald Scott Owens, 24, of Vero Beach, Fla.
• Seaman* Lakiba Nicole Palmer, 22, of San Diego, Calif.
• Engineman Fireman Joshua Langdon Parlett, 19, of Churchville, Md.
• Fireman* Patrick Howard Roy, 19, of Cornwall on Hudson, N.Y.
• Electronics Warfare Technician First Class* Kevin Shawn Rux, 30, of Portland, N.D.
• Mess Management Specialist Third Class Ronchester Manangan Santiago, 22, Kingsville, Texas
• Operations Specialist Second Class Timothy Lamont Saunders, 32, of Ringgold, Va.
• Fireman Gary Graham Swenchonis Jr., 26, Rockport, Texas
• Ensign Andrew Triplett, 31, of Macon, Miss.
• Seaman* Craig Bryan Wibberley, 19, of Williamsport, Md.

With the 10th anniversary of the Cole bombing approaching on Oct. 12, relatives of those killed in the attack expressed deep frustration with the delay. “After 10 years, it seems like nobody really cares,” said Gloria Clodfelter, whose 21-year-old son, Kenneth, was killed on the Cole.

“It’s politics at this point,” said one military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy. He said he thinks the administration does not want to proceed against a high-value detainee without some prospect of civilian trials for other major figures at Guantanamo Bay.

The Bottom Line – A Black Ribbon was added to the Flag Staff

---

The President of the United States proves once again that his loyalty is for Islam and not for the United States of America.  This is an outrage. For the President to give a terrorist a “pass” for killing our military personnel is proof this man is NOT QUALIFIED to be anywhere near the White House.

We must reflect our outrage at this egregious action in November in the voting booth: If you remember nothing else when you vote, Remember the Cole!

Is this what we expected from our historic “First Black President?”

Or is this what we would expect from our first “Islamic President?”

• It is not what he says (or reads from the Teleprompter) … he “is” what he “does.” And he has again given us further proof of his real loyalty. To support dropping these charges and not fighting to maintain them is close to a treasonous act. I would assume the dead sailors would feel the same.

He Never loved his country and was never loyal to it …

He Never respected his country, He only respects his ideology …

And his empathy for Islam has now gone too far!

Voting in November? Vote “them” out!

REMEMBER THE COLE!

A new “Symbol” is proposed for the Ground Zero area … an Islamic Cultural Center. The  $100 complex is proposed for a location 2 blocks from 911′s “Ground Zero,” 2 blocks from where 3000+ people were killed by radical Islamic Terrorists, an area symbolic of the greatest achievement of Islamic Jihadism. Many believe putting a “cultural center” anywhere near this area is nothing more than a monument of victory for the terrorists of 911.

Technically, “they” are saying this is not a “mosque” … it’s a cultural center with an area for prayer. Maybe this is why …

New English Review – Interview with Sam Solomon – What is a Mosque? A mosque, totally unlike a church or a synagogue, serves the function of orchestrating and mandating every aspect of “life” in a Muslim community from the religious, to the political, to the economic, to the social, to the military. In Islam, religion and life are not separate. They are indivisible. In Islam religion is not just a part of life, but “life” is absorbed and regulated to the tiniest detail by religion (See Figure 1). In other words every aspect of a man or woman’s life must be defined and governed by religion. So there is no concept of personal choice whatsoever, or in theological terms, there is no “free will,” but only limited preferences between prescribed courses of action. In addition, there is no concept of a personal relationship between the person and the entity being worshiped, so “worship” itself, is of a different nature than that performed in a church or synagogue.

Pat Condell on Ground Zero Mosque

But in this case it is “not a mosque, it is an “Islamic Cultural Center (that just happens to have an included prayer area).”  Perhaps this is even more insidious than an actual mosque, just another example of Islamic Al-Takeyya. So the “Islamic Cultural Center” is only a symbol … but of what?

The Symbolism of the Location: Feisal Abdul Rauf is the imam behind the “Cordoba Initiative” that is spearheading plans to build a $100 million Islamic center at Ground Zero, the site where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by jihadists on 9/11. He is also the author of a book called What’s Right with Islam Is What’s Right with America. But the book hasn’t always been called that. It was called quite something else for non-English-speaking audiences. In Malaysia, it was published as A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America. Source: Andrew McCarthy

Symbolism of the Name: Cordoba Mosque: The scheduled construction of the ‘Cordoba House’, more widely known as the ‘Ground Zero Mosque’, is meeting some stiff resistance from a growing number of Americans for not only its location but what its name alludes to. In fact, developers even tried to rename the mosque because of what people were learning about it.  Cordoba, a city in Spain, was conquered by Muslims in the early 8th century. Upon capturing the city, Muslims began construction on the first ‘Cordoba House’. Prior to that, Spain, at the time a Christian nation, was a symbol of western civilization. Once it had fallen to Islam, the first ‘Cordoba House’ became an Islamic symbol of conquest.  Former Muslim terrorist Walid Shoebat, has made it his life’s work to warn westerners about the true intentions of Islam and insists the Islamic mindset has not changed, even after twelve centuries. Shoebat insists that the name chosen for the ground zero mosque is not an accident; it is intentionally provocative for a reason. It is a statement to Muslims that could embolden many of them.

Update August 14.2010

President Barack Hussein Obama Statement: “As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. “That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”

President Obama addresses guests at an iftar dinner, the meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast for Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan, at the White House.

Patriot’s Flag Comment: Barack Hussein Obama was trained as a Muslim in his early life. That early training still defines his outlook on life today. The man was a Muslim, the man is a Muslim, the man is doing everything in his power, against the will of 70% of the people to create an Islamic dar es-salaam right her in the United States of America. This man is an enemy of Liberty and Freedom … we need no more proof than this. For the safety of the United States, Obama, and any politician supporting his views must be removed from office.

Obama is leading his supporters (some probably unknowingly) toward the goals of Islam … any person supporting Obama was thus represented at that dinner and now must either avow or disavow his statement. There is now a direct link between Obama supporters and the Islamic threat. If you support Obama, you are supporting the furtherance of Islam and Shari’a as the dominant governing force for the United States. Democrats who support this President have  now become “Islamists.”  They are enemies to Liberty and Freedom.

The proposed “Cordoba Mosque” probably should now be renamed the “Obama Mosque” to thank him for his support and to solidify the link of Obama to Islam … he will be a Presidential Symbol of Islam, and this should be his legacy.

The Bottom Line

---

I Believe … The Obama Administration not only has successfully withdrawn from the War on Terrorism, then are actually supporting terrorists through unsecured borders and “reaching out” to Muslims.  We are going to be “giving in” without a fight … and that’s UN-American. And now he has thrown is support behind the Mosque at Ground Zero indicating his support for the Islamic Community and thus supporting the further infiltration of Shari’a here in the United States of America. If the construction of the “Obama Mosque” is allowed to proceed, this will be his legacy.

Sons of Liberty Flag - Liberty LOST!

So lets now look back and summarize the BP Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  What was the total physical and economic damage to the Gulf Coast area?  Jobs, marshes, fishing, tourism … lets add it all up into a single number.  Now lets separate that total into two groups: (1) Cost of Damage caused by the oil and (2) Cost of Damage caused by the media hype and wrong government responses. (For a complete listing of the links with summaries see THIS).

The Gulf has basically healed itself (with a little boost from some dispersants). The marshes will heal, new “sprouts” have already been documented. But the lingering damage is not physical … it is economic, who “caused” that damage?

The Patriot’s Flag Summary: As the causes for the BP explosion and leak are studied carefully to prevent a re-occurrence , so should an intense study be done of the inaccurate media reporting (hyped up, we’re-all-gonna’-die, the-gulf-is-poisoned) and knee-jerk government reactions (stop the drilling, stop the fishing, etc) that STILL is causing a huge economic disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.  I contend that the damage done by the media and the government far exceeds the damage done by BP and the oil leak.

I documented the “spill” at The Patriot’s flag (BP Update Page)… most of the major news links are there (over 150 of them!) and each has a mouse-over summary.  You can quickly go over the page and get the “feel” for the disaster. There is no doubt your conclusion will be similar to mine.  The damage done by the leak was insignificant compared to the damage created by inaccurate reporting and inappropriate government action.

Let’s look closely at the reporting vs the truth:

• “Poisonous Dispersants”: The Dispersants didn’t poison the Gulf (and they are NOT TOXIC), they aided in the dispersion and eventual biodegradation of the oil (as dispersants have done safely for 20+ years!). Full coverage of the dispersants HERE (Dispersants and the Piper)
• Beach Oil and Tourism: Some oil got to the beaches, but the beaches were not blackened and ruined for generations by the leaking oil.  It simply did not happen.  The result of the reporting was a huge “hit” in tourism that hurt the tourism industry.
• Global Pollution: The leak did not extend to the east coast of Florida and the USA, potentially moving in the Gulf Stream up toward northern Europe.  Evidence of it even getting to the West Coast of Florida is sketchy.  This simply didn’t happen. (Charlotte Observer Post). This was nothing but “hype” reporting.
• Stopping the drilling (government moratorium) did not solve any problems, it only caused severe economic problems for people who worked in that industry. (Drilling Moratorium is a Jobs Moratorium)
• Stopping the fishing, this action too is in doubt … the seafood “might have been poisoned” … but it wasn’t. It has been deemed “safe”. Of course you don’t go fishing in an oil slick, but unlike the media pictures, the oil wasn’t everywhere … in was in specific locations (and has since all dissipated).  Fishing could have been done safely just by not fishing in the slicks.

This article sums it up best … the NEWS MEDIA caused the damage!

1. The Disaster that never was (BP) (08.08.10)

---

The Bottom Line

---

So Who should pay for the economic losses? Those who causes the losses should pay for the losses. The damage caused by the news media and the government far exceeded the damage done by the oil leak. Rather than BP being forced to PAY for 100% of the economic losses, the news media should pay for it, (or be eliminated as a news source), and those in government that caused the economic losses should be removed from office immediately. This would probably leave BP with having to cover only about 10% of the economic losses.  Why should they pay for losses they did not cause?

Post of Free Republic: But I’m a Tea Bag Conservative, one can’t have the gov paying for it, (because I’m the “government” and I pay for it as a taxpayer). The media’s deep pockets should be emptied just as BP’s was emptied. A good lesson for them. So what do you do if someone causes damage but doesn’t pay? You put them in jail, and most certainly you put them out of business.

PS: “Yes but …”

…but BP caused the spill so they are responsible for everything that happened since.

Don’t forget, EVERY move they made was to be overseen and given approval for by the United States Government. Nothing happens in the Gulf without federal approval.  So the Fed approved the “situation” that allowed the leak in the first place. We could just as easily say the leak was “federally approved” couldn’t we?
