TEXAS MOVES TO BLOCK CHILD MARRIAGES
COMMON IN SHARIA LAW
Activist Pamela Geller comments on legislation which would ban
major aspects of Islamic religious code

In a stunning victory in the war against radical
Islam, state legislators in the Lone Star State passed a version of the
much debated “American Law for American Courts” (ALAC) bill, banning
Muslim Sharia law within Texas.
Sharia is the Islamic religious code governing all aspects life.
It mandates death for nonbelievers, death for adulterers, death for
homosexuals, crucifixion for highway robbers, amputation for petty
theft, and more.Muslim “honor killings” of women and young girls — also a Sharia practice — are occurring regularly in Texas. Read here, and here.
Both houses of the Texas legislature voted in favor of HB 45, the Texas Foreign Law Procedural Protection Act Monday, May 22, and the bill now heads to the governor’s desk for signature.
Infowars
reached out to Pamela Geller of the American Freedom Defense Initiative
(AFDI) for her thoughts on these new developments in Texas.
“The
intention is to stop the aspects of Sharia that contradict American law
from being applied here. This law should accomplish that,” Geller told
Infowars.
“But, the court system is full of Leftist
activist judges who disregard the law and run roughshod over the will of
the people in the service of a globalist, socialist, internationalist
agenda,” she said cautioning that the fight is not over.
Echoing the FBI and other law enforcement authorities,
Geller suggested Texas also “require the mosques to institute programs
teaching young Muslims to reject the al-Qaeda/ISIS view of Islam.”
“The mosques must be monitored,” Geller added.
Mirroring her comments on the gruesome Manchester attack,
Geller pointed out that Sharia is observed not only during terrorist
attacks, but also in the silence of countries hosting the Muslims who
commit these atrocities.
“Sharia is always enforced
after every jihad attack, as the mainstream media (or the enemedia, as I
call it) whitewashes the jihadi motivations and connections of the
perpetrator, and tries to portray him as a lone wolf. Texas is
absolutely doing the right thing, but much more needs to be done,”
Geller remarked.
Women are the main victims of Sharia’s
harsh punishments, and allowing Sharia to coexist alongside Texas law
(or any law) is not compassionate, Geller contends.
“It
isn’t compassionate to women who are thereby subjected to Sharia’s
discriminatory regulations regarding wife-beating, polygamy, divorce,
inheritance, and testimony,” Geller stated.
Geller is not wrong. The Quran says:
4:34
. . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the
teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If
they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high
and great. (MAS Abdel Haleem, the Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
The Hadith (the other Muslim holy book for which there are many versions) depicts Muhammad hitting his underage child bride, Aisha:
‘He [Muhammad] struck me [Aisha] on the chest which caused me pain.’
The
UK is one of the first western European countries to openly allow
Sharia “courts” to operate alongside British courts, and the
consequences are alarming.
Shaykh Suhaib Hasan, the chief justice of London’s Sharia “court” made this chilling remark:
“If
sharia law is implemented, then you can turn this country into a haven
of peace because once a thief’s hand is cut off nobody is going to
steal. Once, just only once, if an adulterer is stoned nobody is going
to commit this crime at all. We want to offer it to the British
society.”
ALAC In Texas: An Uphill Fight
Muslim
activists vocally opposed ALAC legislation in the last two sessions,
culminating in a giant protest on the steps of the state capitol
building, where representatives from the terrorist-linked Council on
American Islamic Relations (CAIR) declared they were “above” U.S. law.
“If
we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said
Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR
branch, at the Austin protest.
Protest organizers cited
“the recent House and Senate bill proposals involving the implementation
of ‘anti-Sharia’ legislation, where the First Amendment rights and
freedoms of Muslims would ultimately be hindered.”
CAIR has a call to action on its website urging people to oppose HB 45 (ALAC).
Carroll’s statements are similar to comments allegedly made by CAIR co-founder and former chairman Omar M. Ahmad:
“Islam
isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become
dominant” and the Quran “should be the highest authority in America, and
Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
The
protesters admitted the purpose of their efforts was to defend Sharia.
“We tried to downplay Sharia, because we didn’t want to give the other
side any excitement for being here,” Carroll said.
The same CAIR operative is on record defending Hamas, still classified by the U.S. as a terrorist group.
“I
think you can only blame Hamas for so long. It takes two to tango. And I
think, you know, that what we’ve heard for a number of years is this
terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, Hamas, Hamas, Hamas, was not
just Hamas,” Carroll said.
Rev. Ronnie C. Lister, a Nation of Islam radical, also spoke at Muslim Capitol Day:
“This
country belongs to you. This state house is your state house. The
police department is your police department,” he told the crowd. “This
land is your land. … God is on your side … this is your house. [It] does
not belong to the Republicans. It does not belong to the Democrats. It
does not belong to just Americans. It belongs to all of us!
Quick History Of CAIR
CAIR denied Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, even though bin Laden acknowledged his role on camera.
CAIR
demanded removal of a billboard in Los Angeles that described bin Laden
as “the sworn enemy,” saying that the description was “offensive to
Muslims.”
CAIR called the conviction of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers “a travesty of justice.”
CAIR
board member Siraj Wahhaj — who President Barack Obama invited to give
the “invocation” at the DNC — is an unindicted co-conspirator in the
1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wihhaj once remarked, “It is my duty
and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the
Quran.”
CAIR boasts at least seven board members or staff
who were arrested, denied entry to the US, or indicted/pled guilty to
terrorist charges: Siraj Wahhaj, Bassem Khafagi, Randall (“Ismail”)
Royer, Ghassan Elashi, Rabih Haddad, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, and Nabil
Sadoun.
