Injustice in the Upper Peninsula

Muslims Demanding America To Bow To Sharia Law
June 24, 2008 – All over the United States, radical Muslims are pushing companies to bow to Islamic law known as Sharia. They are doing this under the guise of religious freedom, but the political and cultural ideology of Islam recognizes only Allah as the supreme ruler over the world.
Efforts are already underway here in America to introduce Sharia enclaves in some communities. In these enclaves, Constitutional concepts like one person/one vote would be replaced by Sharia concepts which values a woman’s vote at half that of a man. In many instances, Sharia law allocates rights based on gender and religion (Islam is the only legal religion) rather than individual rights. In the United Kingdom and France, such enclaves exist and have caused conflict between Islamists and the country’s civil law.
What Muslims are doing has been referred to as “creeping Sharia” – that is, getting companies, communities and states to change policies in order to force everyone to obey Sharia law, a totalitarian system of regulations that govern Islamic theocracies. Caribou coffee shops and Church’s Fried Chicken are Saudi-owned companies which operate and manage their employees based on Sharia principles.
In America, creeping Sharia is to be imposed by lawsuits and claims of ethnic or religious discrimination. Examples of creeping Sharia are becoming more and more frequent as radical Muslim groups such as the CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and Muslim Brotherhood either create conflicts between Muslim employees and their employers or exploit such conflicts.

- In Minnesota, for example, five Muslim employees at the Missions
Food tortilla factory were fired for refusing to wear a new company
uniform – shirt and pants. They claimed this violated their Islamic
beliefs. CAIR has filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
lawsuit against Mission Foods.
- In Minneapolis in 2006, a number of Somali cabdrivers refused to
carry passengers with alcohol. The Muslim Brotherhood was behind this
publicity stunt. The airport’s initial plan was to cave to Sharia law
and create Sharia-compliant and Sharia non-compliant cabs. An Islamic
“fatwa,” or order was issued by the Muslim American Society in June
2006 and sent to the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The fatwa stated
that Islamic law prohibits Muslim cabdrivers from carrying passengers
with alcohol “because it involves cooperating in sin according to
Islam.”
- In May 2007, the Phoenix airport installed foot washing facilities
to accommodate Muslim cab drivers; and one month earlier, the Kansas
City airport decided to add foot washing basins in restrooms for Muslim
cab drivers.
- In June 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle published a feature titled: “Islam in America’s Public Schools: Education Or Indoctrination?”
The article describes how “soft jihad” has entered our nation’s public
schools and kids are being indoctrinated to affirm and accept the
teachings of Islam. In May 2008, for example, students at Friendswood
Junior High in Houston were required to attend a
CAIR-sponsored lecture on Islamic Awareness. The students were taught
that there is one God, his name is Allah; they were taught how to pray
five times a day and wear Islamic clothing. An Islamic charter school
in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota is under investigation for its
overtly religious curriculum. It is housed in the Muslim American
Society’s building. The Muslim American Society is an offshoot of the
radical Muslim Brotherhood. When TV news reporters were sent to the
school to interview officials, they were assaulted by these Islamists.
- Muslims are waging in America what’s been described as “Islamist Lawfare,” against our system of government. Brooke M. Goldstein with the Legal Project at the Middle East Forum was interviewed in May by reporter Jamie Glazov. According to Goldstein: “One tenet of Sharia law is to punish those who criticize Islam, and to silence speech considered blasphemous against Islam or its Prophet Mohammed. The Islamist movement has two wings – that which operates violently, propagating suicide-homicide bombing and other terrorist activities, and that which operates lawfully, conducting a ‘soft jihad,’ within our court systems, through Sharia banking, within our school systems and through organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Canadian Islamic Congress. Both the violent and the lawful arms of the Islamist movement can and do work apart, but often, their work re-enforces each other's.”
