Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a man many pundits consider to be a strong contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, took the stage at the Iowa GOP convention this past weekend and uttered a standard GOP talking point. “America did not create religious liberty, religious liberty created America,” Jindal said to a packed house in Des Moines.
Daily Iowan This line has become de rigueur in the GOP, stemming from right-wing opposition to gay marriage, the contraception mandate of ObamaCare, and general reproductive abortion rights for women, all of which, in the minds of the GOP’s most prominent voices, constitute an unconscionable violation of the constitutional rights of Americans who oppose such measures on religious grounds.
The Iowa GOP delegates, however, adopted a measure this weekend that would seem to contradict Jindal’s call for both the respect of religious liberty and its central place in American iconography. Jason Noble of the Des Moines Register has reported that, in a 404-401 vote, the Iowa GOP voted to include a plank that calls for feverish opposition to the “recognition of Sharia law, foreign law, and international law.”
Besides the problematic assertion that the United States shouldn’t follow international law set forth by the United Nations (such as the genocide conventions that we are signatories to) the most disturbing aspect of the plank is the stated opposition to “Sharia law,” which we believe is a clear dog whistle to the racist, “Islamaphobic” trend in American politics and is itself a threat to the religious liberty the party claims to care so much about. (Only if you consider Islam a religion)
It should be noted that Sharia, a legal framework that bases its legitimacy in the Koran, is not a monolithic entity. In other words, there is no such thing as a single “Sharia law.” “Sharia law” changes from place to place. (From bad to worse) Also, as Al-Jazeera America’s Wajahat Ali has noted, Sharia is much more concerned with the laws of personal religious observance rather than national policy. (HAH! Al-Jazeera, al-Qaeda’s personal media outlet)
Declaring one’s opposition to Sharia is unnecessary and dated (Ask the folks in these pictures). Perhaps the real reason that this plank has been adopted is to appeal to Islamaphobes who are terrified of the existential threat of an Islamic dominated America that never seems to materialize. (But it’s getting there thanks to the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House)
This is partly motivated by pure, garden-variety racism, because a majority of American Muslims are either South Asian or Arab (60 percent, according to the State Department). It’s partly pure ignorance, because many Americans, post-9/11, see Islam as a violent religion, hell-bent on killing as many “infidels as possible.” (Gee, I wonder why?)
You can see this in the opposition to the Islamic community center near the former site of the Twin Towers in New York (erroneously referred to as the “Ground Zero Mosque” – Yes, it should be referred to as the Ground Zero Victory Mosque), when many Republican politicians, including former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, referred to the community center a “symbol of Islamic conquest” over the United States, a truly offensive notion. (Only offensive to Muslim terrorist apologists)
The MSM and politicians around the world have been bribed, cajoled, threatened and forced into a pact censoring the news. This pact is combined with Education, Religion, Corporations, Literature, blogs, Doctors and bureaucratizes in all the major governments around the world. The huge amounts of monies that have poured into this program by Saudi Arabia has paid of 30% of this bill and the Shadows have antied up the other 70%. This has been going on for decades.
We are now watching the fruits of their labors. However they are beginning to panic, to many have caught on to their game.
This will not stop them from moving ahead, they will be more forceful and blatant in their charter assassinations and literal assassinations. Wars will continue to mark the headlines, only when it suits the Shadows. The Progressive Socialist Democratic Party thinks it can ruin the economy, standards, values and the Constitution of USA and take over to create a Communistic Society that only they can make work.
Once again, WRONG.
Religious liberty is one of the foundations stones for our republic. However, it is important to recognize that no religious beliefs in our history ever were dedicated to the downfall of our nation as is the pedophile promoting, bestial religion of Islam. No religious believer is only one sermon away from violence as is the camel riding goat f=-=ing muslim. They are and will continue to be a pox upon the planet.
Bringing them, and their Satanic laws into our country is akin to adding arsenic to an IV drip – a slow and methodical poisoning – certain to kill you, eventually.
maybe we can borrow the Soyuz. to the moon, Alice. of course with no oxygen. i wanna see if all fubar can save them before they get there. no space suits needed
i noticed that the shreikers in the bottom photo demanding sharia law are all male. of course the apologists are out in force.
I like the MSM about as much as I like hemorrhoids. They make me ill.
A vote of 404/401 is too close for comfort. How can there be so many ignorant dhimmis?!
When you bend your laws to accommodate other peoples laws soon those other people will bend you to their laws.
Why? Because the media are brain-dead, leftist, naive, traitorous America haters/muslim-huggers.
Well done, Bonni! Your interjected comments nicely categorize the demented al-taqiyya.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali changed her relignon, not her race, she remains Black. We do not hate her.
Walid Shoebat changed his religion, not his race, he remains Arab. We do not hate him.
We hate Islam because it is evil, from its inception, by design. Islam is Satanic. Islam denies the sanctity of our blood and property.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”
That means open season. Who can get a clue? Certainly the Editorial Board of the Daily Iowan has no clue. I doubt that they have the intellectual capacity to obtain one.
Because I strenuously object to the dictum that I must be killed or enslaved because I am not a God damned Muslim, they lable me a bigoted racist. They can FOAD!

Those self-rightous, holier than thou AssWholes have no clue what Shari’ah is. Worse yet, they don’t care.
Islamic law requires a minimum of one military expedition against disbelievers in every year.

Islamic law specifies that “Infidels may be attacked without provocation.”.

No words can properly express my contempt and detestation of self-rightous AssWholes who pontificate from the Pillar of Ignorance & Prejudice!
I clicked through and left a comment pointing back to this post. It is cross posted to FB. Others have left very good comments in Iowa. Pile on!
Daj, sometimes I just want to smack these people out of their ignorant stupors.
If only it were possible. But a dope slap can not cure analencephalopathy; the Dupont Enema is the only cure ;(

Brainless lefties.
Good for Iowa. About time. We have our own laws. It’s called Gods law. Not allahs law.
“Sharia is much more concerned with the laws of personal religious observance rather than national policy.”
That’s an outright bullshit lie. These cowardly dhimmis really piss me off.
The ‘media’ is liberal. Even FOX has shifted to the left.
Sadly the Republican party has shifted to the left in recent years, and allowed liberals to frame the narrative and define acceptable vocabulary
Republicans willing to speak out against the dangers of Sharia are in the minority
