Radical Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary (center in photo) has stated on FOX News and other mainstream media outlets that he will stage a rally outside the White House in an attempt to bring Sharia Law to the US. One needs only to look at Europe to see how Sharia tolerance has led to problems with terrorist funding, gun running and terrorist attacks across Europe by tolerated groups in France, England and Germany.

 
Sharia law is so fundamentally different from our own legal system that it is sadly laughable to think that this man has come to the United States to spout this garbage and that US Muslims will “rise up” to support him.  For starters, many American Muslims are more secular; many have fled the very kind of autocratic theocracies that Sharia law supports to avoid religious dominance and repression. 

At its most basic, Sharia is a belief that the Koran is the law and that morality is based only on the tenets of Islam. But we live in a nation in which church and state are separated for good reason. Law should never be defined by religion and religion should never be defined by law. While we are a predominantly Christian nation, people of all other religions are allowed to worship freely.  Nevertheless, we all follow the same laws regardless of our individual religious beliefs.

This cleric has made some very bold assumptions and accusations; among them…

• "It would be easy for us to declare jihad in Britain and each one of us could become a time-bomb waiting to go off. But we are not people who betray."

• "We do not integrate into Christianity. We will ensure that one day you will integrate into the Sharia Islamic law. Our eyes are on Downing Street."

• "It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need to conquer it from the outside."

• “The event is a rally, a call for the Sharia, a call for the Muslims to rise up and establish the Islamic state in America.”

Britain, by its very nature and because of its former empire, had been very tolerant of Muslims, as was France which, at one time, had colonial possessions in North Africa. But having held the beast to their breast, England and France are finding out that the same people who are living in their countries, enjoying the freedoms that they offer, are in many cases living on public assistance doing nothing but preaching revolution.

Now, Choudary and others want to bring their particular brand of extremist Muslim views to the US, hoping to incite Muslims to "rise up".  I would call that a violation of US Law...to be precise, TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 115 > § 2385 § 2385 “Advocating Overthrow of Government" in which it is stated:

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or...

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or...

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof.

By his admission, this Muslim cleric is attempting to incite a religious revolution.  Therefore, we need to bring charges in hopes that the result will be giving him an 8’x8’ concrete cell in the deepest darkest corner of the worst prison we can find. Let him sit there for about 40 years in isolation. Since he thrives on using the freedoms of western nations against them, let us remove those freedoms and see how long he lasts.

Call it profiling if you like, but we have a responsibility as Americans to insure that the way of life we have created and by which we live is not threatened by extremists who are jealous of the success and prosperity that we have achieved as a nation. The Obama administration needs to take some hard lessons about tolerance of and co-existence with this brand of Islam. 

This cleric and his cohorts are proponents of the worst interpretation of the Koran -- the most vocal, most dangerous, most subversive element.  One only has to look at the Fort Hood massacre and the latest slaughter of Americans in Frankfort to see the results of their subversion.
