The Ground Zero Mosque Imam Wants To Incorporate Sharia Into American Law

Sharia is a backwards philosophy that is incompatible with moderation and civilization. That’s something everyone from conservatives, to liberals, to real moderate Muslims SHOULD be able to agree with. Yet, the Imam behind the celebratory Ground Zero Mosque is actually advocating dragging America kicking and screaming into the dark ages by tearing up the Constitution and putting Sharia law in place here[1].

Many see Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as an Islamic moderate even though he has been vilified in the US press as an apologist for radical Muslims. In an interview with the Sunday Herald, Rauf said he believes the world is in the grip of a “dangerous myth” and “self-fulfilling prophecy” that “Islam and the West are at war. But the real battleground is not between Islam and the West, but between the wise, fair-minded people of all faith traditions and the extremists.”

…An essential element of this interweaving of cultures, he says, will have to be the incorporation of Sharia law into the legal systems of Europe and the US. In this, he is in agreement with the Archbishop of Canterbury who said that the adoption of some aspects of Sharia law “seems to be unavoidable”.

If you need more evidence that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is not a good guy and doesn’t have good motives, here you go. Being a good American, a moderate Muslim, sticking to the Constitution, or even being a civilized human being is incompatible with Sharia law.
