“Jihad Prevention Act” would deny U.S. visas to advocates of ‘Sharia’ law, expel Islamists already here

WASHINGTON, DC – Amid disturbing revelations that the verdicts of Islamic Sharia courts are now legally binding in civil cases in the United Kingdom, U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) moved quickly today to introduce legislation designed to protect the United States from a similar fate.

According to recent news reports, a new network of Sharia courts in a half-dozen major cities in the U.K. have been empowered under British law to adjudicate a wide variety of legal cases ranging from divorces and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.

“This is a case where truth is truly stranger than fiction,” said Tancredo. “Today the British people are learning a hard lesson about the consequences of massive, unrestricted immigration.”

Sharia law, favored by Muslim extremists around the world, often calls for brutal punishment – such as the stoning of women who are accused of adultery or have children out of wedlock, cutting off the hands of petty thieves and lashings for the casual consumption of alcohol. Under Sharia law, a woman is often required to provide numerous witnesses to prove rape allegations against an assailant – a near impossible task.

“When you have an immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims, you are also importing their radical ideology – an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of western democracy – such as gender equality, pluralism, and individual liberty,” said Tancredo. “The best way to safeguard America against the importation of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place.”

Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the “Jihad Prevention Act,” would bar the entry of foreign nationals who advocate Sharia law. In addition, the legislation would make the advocacy of Sharia law by radical Muslims already in the United States a deportable offense.

Tancredo pointed to the results of a recent poll conducted by the Centre for Social Cohesion as evidence that the U.S. should act to prevent the situation in Great Britain from replicating itself here in the United States. The poll found that some 40 percent of Muslim students in the United Kingdom support the introduction of Sharia law there, and 33 percent support the imposition of an Islamic Sharia-based government worldwide.

“We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives,” concluded Tancredo. “If you aren’t comfortable with that concept, you aren’t welcome in the United States.”

Sounds fair to me.

I wonder where they'll deport the hundreds of thousands of converts to?

Perhaps to Syria, I hear the US and Syria have a nice little deal where America sends Muslims to them, and Syria tortures them to death.. quite cosey eh?

Would you prefer if the US nuked Syria? Is it now America's responsibility to make sure that muslims do not mistreat and torture each other? And if they do, you can wink and nudge - Ameraica's at it again? Perhaps these buggers should be recolonised, after all - they haven't yet learned how to traet even their co-religionists.


As to converts like you - they'd probably give you freeedom of choice.

So - where would you choose to be deported to, Mr hizb ut-tahrir?

A bit slow tonight, are you?

He's not happy about the US letting Syria torture mulisms - so what would he have the US do? Nuke them for human rights violations?
The point is with abu rashid, it does not matter what the US does - let Syria torture muslims, or don't let Syria torture mulism but intervene and facilitatee regime change - it will always be America that is in the wrong.
Comes with being the Great Satan, - nudge-nudge, wink-wink, know wha' I mean?

Sooo... where would you choose to be deported to, then?

So your all for Syrian attrocities against muslims on behalf of the US, but you oppose Syrian attrocites against the west and its allies (Lebennon/Syria).

Just as I thought...you have zero credibility and I'm not even sure why Abu even bothers responding to you.

So everytime you post your diatribe about respect for human rights blah blah blah...I will be posting this post, and reminding those posters/lurkers out there how you really feel about human rights, and the torture of innocent men.

And the German man..by the way was a German citizen..hence he was a German.
