Obama’s Muslim Advisor Says Sharia Law ‘Misunderstood’
-By Warner Todd Huston
It has been used to excuse the chopping off of hands and feet, it has been used as an excuse to stone women that have been victims of rape, and it has been used as an excuse to jail women merely for wearing a pair of pants, driving a car, or smoking a cigarette, but Barack Obama’s Muslim advisor told a British TV audience that Shariah Law has just been “misunderstood.”
Obama Muslim affairs advisor Dalia Mogahed (pictured) was a guest on a London-based TV show hosted by a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahir al-Islami party (Islamic Party of Liberation), Ibtihal Bsis.
Hizb ut Tahir al-Islami seeks to eliminate western democracy and replace it with an extremist view of Islam which includes the creation of a world Islamic caliphate.
On the TV broadcast, Obama advisor Mogahed sat quiet while other guests and the host said that women should not be allowed to hold positions in government and that western democratic tradition was a “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism.”
But worse than not speaking up to these anti-woman and anti-western sentiments was what she herself added to the conversation. Speaking on the barbaric practice of Sharia law, Mogahed said:
“I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media.
“The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance.
“The portrayal of Sharia has been oversimplified in many cases.”
I guess a tradition that turns a blind eye to the “honor” murders of teenaged girls or forces victims of rape to get her rapist’s permission to take him to court isn’t so bad in this Obama advisor’s eyes? Maybe a law that is used to hang gays until they are dead or one used to institute beatings and oppressions of people trying to practice a religion other than Islam is just “misunderstood”?
If this is the sort of extremist that Barack Obama has “advising” him it is no wonder he’s spent the last 10 months cavorting about the globe apologizing for how evil America is!

Maybe she will have a new perspective on her “religion of peace” after the tour. As for me–I learned all i need to know about Islam on 9/11/2001–early in the morning.

The key word is “compliance.” She is saying that women around the world hope that if they toe the line and stay under their rag prisons they will not be abused by the men around them.
Revolting. If the prisoners stay in the prison they will not be mistreated by the guards.
How can Obama be so blind when he has two daughters?
To who are comments like this being spoken to. Should Americans believe them as the mission of CAIE or just ignore them? “Islam Isn’t In America To Be “Equal To Any Other Faith”, But To Become Dominant”. “The Koran, The Muslim Book Of Scripture, Should Be The Highest Authority In America, And Islam The Only Accepted Religion On Earth.” Omar Ahmad, Chairman Of Cair, (The Council On American-Islamic Relations). Become enlightened thereligionofpeace.com
If someone believes all or part of that, how could they possibly believe in & live by America’s Constitution, Bill of Rights & Laws? How about commenting on THAT Mr. President?
