Section I Introductory Comments Regarding Islam & Sharia Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Primary source for the Study Reliance of the Traveller (Rott), A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law A highly respected source of Islamic law of the four schools of Sunni Islam, with 75% agreement among them (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali). The Shafi’i school is emphasized because its historical records are best. The Rott is broken into 26 parts, a to z, and its verses labeled accordingly.

Islam at Work – Terrorism Terrorism – using violence against civilian targets to obtain a political objective. Here, jihadists are forcing kafirs to accept Islam and Sharia law whether they want it or not; an overtly- political demand. Islam is inherently political w/a religious cover. Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Criticizing Islam -- Haram Many things in Islamic societies are Haram (forbidden) and strictly enforced, with harsh discipline: flogging, prison, hanging & beheading. Criticism of Islam is especially egregious in Muslim countries; a capital crime. So far, the West is protected by the 1st Amendment, and we can still tell the truth about Sharia’s atrocious laws. Many European countries have passed “hate-speech” laws and it is illegal to tell the truth about Islam. Important -- The OIC, via the UN, seeks to implement hate-speech laws in all countries around the world, whether Muslim or not. Many useful-idiots in USA and elsewhere, agree with this![Horn, p. 375] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Religion & State Must be One • According to Sharia, religion & state are one and the same, all under a common religious leader. • Any separation of mosque & state is haram. • U.S. law prohibits combined church & state, in direct conflict with Sharia. [Horn, p. 382] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Slander & Lying (Taqiyya) Muslims lie to kafirs regarding truth about Sharia; esp global domination. For example -- smooth talking imams in suits with big smiles and neatly-trimmed beards tell smooth lies to kafirs about Islam & Sharia, such as: • Sharia is just like the U.S. Constitution, • Islam is a “religion of peace,” • Muslims are just like citizens of other religions & societies, While in Arabic, to Muslims, they talk jihad, and world domination. [Clare M. Lopez. http://counterjihadreport.com/tag/the-reliance-of-the-traveller/] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Islam-is-Great, the Message for Kafirs According to Sharia, slander and lying (taqiyya) are legitimate ways to hide the truth of Islam to kafirs and to entice them to come to the Muslim side. These lies always paint Islam & Muslims as positive & non-threatening, counter to the truth that Islam is superior; all kafirs must submit, face dhimmi status or death; and that all other religions and cultures are to be rejected.This view is important for faith-based organizations and national security and law enforcement professionals to keep in mind as they seek to “outreach” to Muslims. Outreach to Muslims is always one sided; us to them, never the reverse! [Clare M. Lopez. http://counterjihadreport.com/tag/the-reliance-of-the-traveller/] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Muslims are not to Befriend Kafirs According to SayyedQutb(MB founder), Muslims & kafirs must never mingle together. [Clare M. Lopez. http://counterjihadreport.com/tag/the-reliance-of-the-traveller/] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Examples of Dhimmitude &Taqiyya • President George W. Bush when he said Islam is a religion of peace. • President Obama, as quoted in the picture… Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Kafir Penetrants MB civilizational-jihadists deceive kafir leaders, such as clergy, police officers, and/or gov officials, to be a “penetrant;” a host leader that accepts the Islam side, and then continues to spread lies about the true intentions of Sharia to his or her constituency. Once won over, these penetrant leaders, within their respective organizations, force their subordinates to accept untruths about Islam and cause them to promote subversive actions upon others.

Is Islam “Political?” Dr. ZuhdiJasser provides a clue: • Islam and political Islam comes from the same place – the Koran. • Islam is inherently political; its purpose is not personal salvation but to establish Sharia throughout the world.

Jews & Christians are Halal According to a “local” imam in Memphis, Jews & Christians are filthy (halal). As such, their lives and property can be taken by Muslims in jihad.

Section II Societal Aspects of Sharia Per rules drawn from The Reliance of the Traveller Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Eight Types of Zakat* “Charity” Rott: h8.7 It is obligatory to distribute one’s zakat among eight categories of recipients : (1) The Poor, (2) Those short of money, (3) Zakat workers, (4) Those who hearts are to be reconciled, (5) Slaves who are purchasing their freedom (…), (6) Those in debt, (7) Those fighting for Allah [volunteers for jihad without remuneration (…) and for support of their families during this period, (…).], Emphasis mine.(8) Travelers needing money.

Zakat for Jihadists & their families Rott: H8.17 The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (…) Though nothing has been mentioned here of the expense involved in supporting such people’s families during this period, it seems clear that they should also be given it.[Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Zakat – not for non-Muslims Rott: h8.24 It is not permissible to give zakat to a non-Muslim, or to someone whom one is obliged to support, such as a wife or family member. [Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

In Sacred Law it is (N: of two types, the first being usurious gain (riba in selling, which is) an agreement for a specific recompense whose equivalence to the merchandise is unknown, (N: the second type concerns loans, and consists of any loan by which the lender obtains some benefit. The basis for its unlawfulness, prior to scholarly consensus, is such Koranic verses as: “Allah permits trade but forbids usurious gain” (Koran 2:275) (…) “Usurious gain is of seventy kinds, the least of which is as bad as a man marrying his mother.”) [Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Muslims are brothers to each other Rott: p50.2(1)The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim. He does not oppress him, hang back from coming to his aid, or belittle him. It is sufficiently wicked for someone to demean his fellow Muslim. [Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Filthy Vices Rott: p71.1 Wine, gambling, idols, and fortune-telling arrows are but filth of the Devil’s handiwork, so shun it that you may succeed. [Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Charging Interest in Kafir Lands Rott: w43.1 (…) it is permissible for a Muslim to both take interest (riba) and give it, (…) so there is no objection to dealing in interest there, and it lastly permits Muslims to put their money in the banks of non-Muslims and take interest from them, and likewise permits them to loan the state money for interest (…) [Reliance of the Traveller] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Section III Wrap-Up Comments Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

How Islam is promoted The political goal of Islam is Sharia for all. Forcing Islam is a religious duty for every Muslim. Some methods are: • Use violence to strike terror into kafir hearts, • Use intimidation to stop criticism, • Use YouTube projects to ban videos, • Use CAIR to push legal restrictions; • Convert violent-prone inmates to jihad. [www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/11/why-talk-about-Islam-shouldnt-we-talk.html] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Islam seeks to eradicate our society Kafirs need to be aware of Islam’s core teachings.Islam’s core teachings aim to eradicate the most important values, principles, and way of life that kafirs care about most. If Islam accomplishes its goal, societies that believe in protecting life, liberty and equality for all will become extinct! [www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/11/why-talk-about-Islam-shouldnt-we-talk.html] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

A Little Comparison -- Bible vs Koran When we think of a Christian, we think they adopt all teachings of the Bible. Likewise, when we think of a Muslim, we should think they adopt all teachings of the Koran, including those that advocate violence against kafirs. Some people try to imply the two religions are similar; one no more violent than the other. This is false. The Bible doesn’t have a political agenda. Nor does it explicitly tell its followers how to treat non-Christians. The Koran does both--dangerous. [www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/11/why-talk-about-Islam-shouldnt-we-talk.html] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

We Should be wary of all Muslims In general, non-Christians have little to fear from Christians, no matter how pious they may be. However, to be on the safe side, kafirs need to be wary of all Muslims, because they may be pious. This may be “unfair” to non-pious Muslims who ignore particular teachings in the Koran. However, this distinction is an important issue for our self-preservation and protection of liberty. It’s foolhardy to trade safety for “niceness.” [www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/11/why-talk-about-Islam-shouldnt-we-talk.html] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

No Harm in Criticizing Sharia • Criticizing Sharia to other kafirs is a good thing. The only harm that can come from it is to the Jihadists and Islamists themselves. • It might help someone shy away from Islam. • It might prevent someone from becoming a dhimmi, an apologist for Islam, or a useful idiot.

Is Islam our Future? To Many Muslim scholars & leaders, the transformation of America into an Islamic state is destiny; it is kismet (quisma). Devout Muslims believe that the words defining our country’s future have been written by Mohammad, directly from Allah – and that no mortal man may alter or erase their meaning. [Williams, p. 279] Definition of kismet: fate or destiny, a predetermined course of events. [Wikipedia] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Islamic States of America? Our puritan forefathers thought of their new country as a New Zion – not the Islamic states of America. Without a major demographic change, Islam may be the USA’s dominant religion by 2050. [Williams, Paul L., p. 277] Islam is here, and it will impact and transform all aspects of American life -- social, political, and economic. The question is – by how much…? Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

Communism: a prelude to Islam? A quote from Nikita Krushchev, Former Soviet Premier: “Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that your already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; WE’LL SO WEAKEN YOUR ECONOMY, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands” [Nikita Krushchev, Sept. 29, 1959 as he banged his shoe on the UN Podium] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

How Political-Islam Takes Over 1. Immigration. Muslims nice at first; fit in; Kafirs accept them willingly. 2. Start Sharia demands w/segregation; more Mosques. (Sharia is like a Trojan horse – it comes in peace with subversive demands hidden inside.) 3. Soft jihad over time, more infiltration, subversion, some violence. DhimmiKafirscower; Kafir culture flounders. Islamists begin taking control. 4. Islamists take over, increase Sharia w/zakat to fund control. Use of violence & beheadings to cower Kafirs. Little Kafir culture left. 5. Islam only; Sharia complete; old Kafir culture gone. Residual Kafirs and useful idiots given three choices -- convert, accept dhimmi, or death. Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

America under Islam—Muslims will • form their own political party, • place devout believers in position of power, • operate their own TV networks, • publish their own newspapers, • oversee public school & college curricula, • establish Islamic universities for Islamic scholars. • set up “Islamic Central Banks” for no-interest loans to Muslims. • institute Muslim legal societies to promote Islam. • create a ”Central Sharia Court” for all of us. [Williams, Paul. p. 154] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

America under Islam, continued • Idolatry & polytheism will be restricted. • Women will dress modestly in public. • Women will obey their husbands. • Girls cannot see male doctors. • Alcoholic beverages prohibited. • Music & instruments unlawful. • Cinemas will be shut down. • Homosexuality & pornography outlawed. • TV programs will be heavily censored.[Williams, Paul. p. 154] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

America under Islam, continued • Jews and Christians will dress and behave as dhimmis. • All non-Muslims will pay a poll tax. • Fornicators will be fined and imprisoned. • Adulterers will be stoned to death. • Thieves will lose their hands. • Apostates will be decapitated or crucified. • Adolescent girls may be forced to marry against their will. • Disobedient wives and children may be honor killed. • Husbands are “head-of-state” and allowed to dole out their own justice too save face. Wives and children must obey. [Williams, Paul. p. 154] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

A look at demographics. . . The US fertility rate is now below 2.1 children per non-Muslim woman, meaning these Americans are not giving birth to enough children to keep the non-Muslim population from dwindling. Conversely, the average American Muslim woman displays a robust fertility rate of 2.8. If nothing is done, our Muslim American friends will out-vote us and implement Sharia over the country! [Williams, p. 277] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

What is the OIC? OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) has 57 member states, serving as the Ummahfor over 1.5 B Muslims around the world. It is recognized by UN, giving Islam considerable clout; way beyond that of any other religion or culture. It safeguards Islam & Muslim values around the world. It is actively seeking to criminalize any negative criticism of Islam as “hate speech” anywhere around the globe.

What is the Cairo Declaration? The “Declaration” was approved by the OIC August 15, 1990. One of the Declaration’s primary paragraphs states that Sharia is to be used in all elements regarding Muslim ”human” rights: The OIC (…) Wishing to contribute to the efforts of mankind to assert human rights, to protect man from exploitation and persecution, and to affirm his freedom and right to a dignified life in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah. Note that all Muslim rights come from Sharia, not the “Golden Rule” as in other traditional cultures and/or religions.

We are at War To the jihadists, the war between them and us is ongoing until all kaffirs are subdued and Sharia in place. We believe in rights, equality, freedom, opportunity, goodness, charity, and decency; They believe in oppression, subjugation, hatred, death, ignorance, and poverty. We must win this war. The jihadists leave us no choice. Peace and/or capitulation is not an option. Force will be required to drive them out. [Horn, p. 364-365] Sharia-details-P7-Societal-Aspects-of-Sharia.pptx

To Defeat Radical Islam Defeat it by discrediting & de-funding it (like the KKK). 1. Education – tell others truth re jihad, Islam, Sharia, MB. 2. Stop buying OPEC oil – it fuels more jihad from zakat. 3. Promote women’s rights -- marginalize Muslim ideology. 4. Stop Sharia – no creep, support legislation against it. 5. Stop open-ended Muslim immigration – stop jihadists. 6. No mosques – used to promote Islamic radicalization.
