H/T Janet Levy, founder of the Women Against Sharia Project:

Our adversaries’ goal, as with all political pressure groups, is to get us negotiating “how much shariah law we adopt this year as a parallel and ultimately superior institution” ; not “how much shariah law we make illegal and criminal this year pre-emptively before it takes root.” Our goal should be the latter. I’m for the pre-emptive legal strike myself.

And a bit of uprooting if needed, as the Constitution is a fine tool for protecting the tree of liberty from the weeds of tyranny, and shariah law is nothing if not tyrannical.

In the UK, shariah accomodations are required in various towns - along with shariah mortgages and other UK legally recognized forms of shariah finance . These “minor” accomodations are this week’s justification for the Anglican Archbishop’s encouraging - nay, inviting - shariah law as a parallel legal system to British Law. Pre-emptive Dhimmitude, a casually destructive gesture that will drive still more from the empty shell of his church and the emptier shell of England.

Here’s the constructive gesture I would offer back in the U.S.

Let’s anathematize shariah law as an unconstitutional system that advocates apartheid for women and all non-Muslims, female genital mutilation (the most common Sunni school of shariah requires it), execution of apostates and homosexuals, endless warfare, and on and on through the whole barbaric incoherent muddle. Those are, in fact, the “family law” aspects of shariah law now endorsed by the Episcopal church, new apologists and enablers of shariah fatwas. Those who will suffer first, and most, will be ordinary Muslims, especially women, children, anyone daring to question the “traditional” and “moderate” enforcers of the Muslim Brotherhood (motto: “Negotiate with us or we loose the terrorists on you; have a nice day”).

With supporters like these, will Obama also endorse shariah as a “separate but equal” legal system as part of his party platform? Because shariah’s so filled with …Hope for the Ummah? Audacity for the jihadists? But hey, it would be CHANGE so don’t worry….

Of course, there aren’t enough Muslims in the U.S. to constitute much of a voting block - 2-3 million estimated of a population well north of 300 milliion.

One percent.

Not that this has stopped Gordon England or George Bush from meeting with the leaders of Muslim Brotherhood front groups, in the name of reaching out to this miniscule constituency. And changing U.S. policy domestic and foreign to appease them.

But then that was always about pleasing media, foreign and plutocratic elites, not winning elections.

Muslims for Obama, a new interest group, is preparing their 2009 legislative calendar:
