FBI agent announcing sharia at Tennessee event approved Muslim-led purge of FBI training

Former FBI agent and US Marine provides some detail on the government sponsored sharia event in Tennessee. via Civilization Jihad “By OUR Hands” Delivered to TN by US Attorney and FBI Leader | UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT TO AMERICA.

Killian (l) and Moore (r). Moore sharia, Killing free speech.

In an stunning display of a complete disconnect from reality and a factual understanding of the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and one of its front organizations in Tennessee – the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) – U.S. Attorney William Killian demonstrated Tuesday night he is a tool for the Muslim Brotherhood’s Civilization Jihad. His partner, Special Agent in Charge of the Knoxville FBI Office, turns out to be one of the key FBI leaders who purged evidence and fact-based training about the Muslim Brotherhood and Shariah from the FBI last year, demonstrating he too is a “useful idiot” for our enemy.

…

Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Knoxville Office Kenneth Moore, happens to be the same FBI leader who was a part of the whitewash of training materials to ensure that Muslims are not offended by what FBI agents are learning about Shariah and the Muslim Brotherhood – ie he made sure FBI agents in the field do not get the truth about the threat we face.  He was the approving authority on the FBI memo detailing the information purged from the FBI training programs.  I believe if Mr. Killian looked hard enough in the Federal Criminal Code, there is a violation to go along with this as well.

Read the FBI memo linked in the above paragraph – it’s much worse than anyone could have imagined.

We’ve stated many times over the years that the FBI has been infiltrated. It couldn’t be more clear. We told readers about this event, thanks to a reader, well before it became news here and posted video here.

Back stories:

• FBI submits, removes 1,000+ documents on Islam; Islamists suggest overseeing future training

• Muslim Letter Prompted Pentagon to Purge Military Instruction “Offensive to Islam”

• FBI won’t release names of “Islamic experts” who purged terror training materials – Kenneth Moore must know

Raw Video: Muslim-DOJ-FBI event on suppressing 1st Amendment

I videotaped the event from a spot along the wall about halfway back in the room, so the audio is likely to accentuate the crowd noise. The video focuses on the speakers and doesn’t show most of the crowd, but I can tell you that most of the crowd was not being rude and heckling the speakers. Unfortunately, because of the location and limitations of my small video camera, the audio likely accentuates the crowd noise.

Below are links to some media reports on the event. YouTube doesn’t allow posting long comments so I don’t have space here to post my own thoughts – so I have posted my report and commentary on the Manchester event on my Facebook page.

the DOJ and FBI have not scheduled meetings addressing the concerns of any other group but Muslims. Twelve such outreach sessions are planned for Tennessee alone.

The hypocritical Hamas-linked CAIR who urges Muslims not to work with the FBI cheered the FBI’s stance on silencing Americans who oppose Islam and sharia.

Tennessee: US Attorney, FBI to lecture Americans on Islam

On your taxpayer dime. Hat tip to the Daily Roll Call blog who writes U.S Attorney To Supress 1st Amend in Tennessee:

How dare this U.S attorney and the agent from FBI tell us how to be ethical. How dare them to try to intimidate citizens of the United States by suggesting writing  blogs and media it’s a federal crime to tell the facts about political islam.

This is not about religion and “culture” this is political. First amendment rights once again being suppressed.

Why is a U.S Attorney and the lead Law Enforcement agency in this country addressing this issue in Tennessee, in a small town to boot?

These types of Islamic dawah pushed by the DOJ are happening all over the U.S. We’ve covered them numerous times. via Tullahoma News

A special meeting has been scheduled for the stated purpose of increasing awareness and understanding that American Muslims are not the terrorists some have made them out to be in social media and other circles.

“Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society” will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4, at the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center, 147 Hospitality Blvd.

Special speakers for the event will be Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and Kenneth Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville Division.

Sponsor of the event is the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee — a 15-member board formed two years ago when the General Assembly was considering passing legislation that would restrict those who worship Sharia Law, which is followed by Muslims.

AMAC is a CAIR-like Islamic group that has fully infiltrated Tennessee politics including DHS.

Killian and Moore will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media.

Killian – US Attorney

“This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

Killian said the presentation will also focus on Muslim culture and how, that although terrorist acts have been committed by some in the faith, they are no different from those in other religions.

Moore – FBI

He referred to the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing in which Timothy McVeigh, an American terrorist, detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Commonly referred to as the Oklahoma City Bombing, the attack killed 168 people and injured more than 800.

It was the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Terry Nichols was also charged and incarcerated as a coconspirator.

Killian also referred to the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting on Aug. 5, 2012, when Wade Michael Page, an American white supremacist, fatally shot six people and wounded four others in a mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. Page committed suicide by shooting himself in the head after he was shot in the stomach by a responding police officer.

“Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were both Christians as was the guy who shot up the Sikh temple,” Killian said. “Sikhs are not Muslim, Many people think they are Muslim, but they split off with the Hindu religion.”

We know that is an outright lie. McVeigh said he was agnostic and was unrepentant in a CNN interview. Meanwhile, Islam rewards Muslims who kill non-Muslims or even Muslims deemed to be apostates.

Killian referred to a Facebook posting made by Coffee County Commissioner Barry West that showed a picture of a man pointing a double-barreled shotgun at a camera lens with the caption saying, “How to Wink at a Muslim.”

Where were Killian and Moore when a Tenn. Congressional Candidate Received Death Threats for Opposing Mosque?

Killian said he and Moore had discussed the issue.

“If a Muslim had posted ‘How to Wink at a Christian,’ could you imagine what would have happened?” he said. “We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected.”

Actually, Muslims post more direct and violent threats regularly and the feds do nothing. Take a look at Twitter or Facebook or the comments section on any anti-jihad blog. And remember Molly Norris? She had to go into hiding here in the U.S. due to Muslim death threats. Killian is a shill and a hypocrite.

Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

“That’s what everybody needs to understand,” he said.

Killian said slide show presentations will be made.

Zak Mohyuddin, a Muslim Advisory Council member, said a shortened version of a documentary called “Welcome to Shelbyville” will also be featured.

The documentary, produced by the Public Broadcasting Service, spotlights recent demographic changes in nearby Shelbyville, with a focus on the growing number of immigrants from Latin America and Somalia with many Somalis from the Bantu minority ethnic group which practices Islam.

More taxpayer funded propaganda. See An inside look at the Shelbyville film propaganda team.

Mohyuddin said Muslims across the nation consistently issue press releases condemning terrorist acts, but the media usually does not pick up the information. He added that the apparent silence leaves the impression that Muslims do not condemn such acts.

Like Killian, Mohyuddin said word needs to be spread so more people understand the Muslim culture.

“It is in the self-interest of Muslims in the United States to counter violent extremism, because we and our children do not want to be viewed with suspicion,” Mohyuddin said. “The Muslim community is a vital resource in the fight against terrorism.”

Killian said he has made other presentations in the state about Muslim culture and civil rights laws, and the Muslims he’s become acquainted with are outstanding citizens.

“Some of the finest people I’ve met are Muslims,” he said, adding later: “We want to inform everybody about what the law is, but more importantly, we want to provide what the law means to Muslims, Hindus and every other religion in the country.

They always throw Hindus and Jews. It’s about Islam and for Muslims to shut up and submit non-Muslims. Plain and simple.

“It’s why we came here in the first place. In England, they were using Christianity to further their power in government. That’s why the First Amendment is there.”

 Clearly these thugs want to impose their interpretation of the First Amendment and Islamic blasphemy laws on non-Muslims.

Jerry Gordon at The Iconoclast asks, Will Free Speech be upheld in Manchester, Tennessee on June 4th?

Tennesseans are rightly incensed that some government official is going to tell them that their exercise of free speech may be a violation of a law yet to be on the law books. That smacks of thought control ala Big Brother in George Orwell’s, 1984. Muslims overseas have perfected that thought control proposal in the EU and UK hate speech laws subjecting politicians in Holland, housewives in Austria, editors in Denmark and protesters in the UK to criminal prosecution. Think it can’t happen here? Guess again. Under the Patriot Act our government has the authority to issue letters intruding on your email and social media to combat terrorism, whatever that definition means. It is just a small step to enlarge upon the language and extend it to cover hate speech.

So what should the good citizens of the Volunteer State do on the evening of June 4th? They might consider attending the Manchester Coffee County Conference Center AMACTN program primed to ask questions during the Q+A. Some might chose to parade on the sidewalks outside with posters and handouts rebutting the misinformation inside. Still others might organize a press conference out front and invite the AMACTN organizers, the US Attorney and FBI Special Agent to a separate event to learn about the foreign threats to our protected free speech under the US Constitution. These actions would demonstrate that Tennesseans and all Americans will not be intimidated. Maybe then the message will get across that free speech was the first right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. It is first above all amendments guaranteeing our liberties and freedoms against government tyranny.

Update 2: Politico has picked up the story, Feds suggest anti-Muslim speech can be punished.

A U.S. attorney in Tennessee is reportedly vowing to use federal civil rights statutes to clamp down on offensive and inflammatory speech about Islam.

Offensive to whom?

Update 3:

the DOJ and FBI have not scheduled meetings addressing the concerns of any other group but Muslims. Twelve such outreach sessions are planned for Tennessee alone.

Contact Your Elected Officials ASAP. Tell them you will not allow your 1st Amendment rights to be trampled and dictated by Islam and corrupt U.S. attorney’s working for a corrupt Attorney General. This may be Bill Killian’s interpretation but he is wrong. Many blogs have picked this up and the tone is very defeatist as if this is some new law. It is not. Stand up. Speak up. Fight back.

And with all due respect, don’t leave a comment that “it does no good” and then sit on your ass and complain. As the tyrannical attempts to dismantle the 2nd Amendment proved, it can be effective despite a corrupt and complicit media and polling agencies that intentionally lie to the public.

Tennessee: Woman threatened to have ‘brother, who is Muslim, blow up hospital’

via Tennessee woman facing terrorism charge | News – Home.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Murfreesboro, Tennessee woman is facing a terrorism charge after calling a local medical center and threatening to blow it up.

The Daily News Journal is reporting that Prunella Wilkerson Boynton was booked into the Rutherford County Jail after being charged with committing an act of terrorism, which is a Class A felony.

A police report says Boynton called Middle Tennessee Medical Center and threatened to have her “brother, who is a Muslim, blow up the hospital” if the “Black Catholic Church” was not allowed to take over MTMC.

The report also says that she warned that all white people needed to be removed from the hospital as well.

She remained jailed on Wednesday in lieu of $20,000 bail. She is to appear in court in June.

Tennessee: Voucher bill could divert tax dollars to Islamic schools

via Voucher bill could fund Muslim schools on The Murfreesboro Post.

A pair of proposals rapidly moving through the Tennessee General Assembly could potentially divert tax dollars currently allocated to public schools to Islamic private schools, and two Rutherford County senators are raising concerns about the legislation.

“This is an issue we must address,” state Sen. Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville) said. “I don’t know whether we can simply amend the bill in such a way that will fix the issue at this point.”

State Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) and Tracy each expressed their concerns Friday over Senate Bill 0196, commonly called the “School Voucher Bill” and sponsored by fellow Sen. Mark Norris (R-Collierville), which would give parents of children attending failing public schools a voucher with which to enroll in a private school.

State monies that would otherwise be spent on educating the student in public schools would then be diverted to qualifying private schools to pay private tuition for the student, in whole or in part.

Islamic schools throughout the state, including Nashville and Memphis where several of Tennessee’s lowest performing schools are located, would qualify to receive such students under the state-funded voucher program.

Where would some tax dollars go and for what?

One such Islamic school, the Nashville International Academy, states that its vision is “to create a positive learning environment where students are committed to the teachings of the Quran and example of Prophet Muhammad.”

The school is located on Charlotte Pike and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which qualifies it as a Category III private school through Tennessee statutes.

Other such schools include the Clara Muhammad School, a division of the Nation of Islam that operates a school in Nashville among its 74 other locations, and the Anoor Academy of Knoxville.

The voucher bill, which is a high-priority initiative by Gov. Bill Haslam’s administration, includes Category I, II, and III private schools as beneficiaries of state dollars through the proposed program.

 Tracy, a member of the Senate Education Committee, expressed “considerable concern” with directing tax dollars to Islamic schools, but he said disallowing Category III schools would also disqualify private schools, such as Montgomery Bell Academy, Ensworth and Harpeth Hall, all of which qualify for the program through SACS accreditation as well.

Ketron, who sponsored anti-Shariah Law legislation in 2009, said the voucher bills have advanced too quickly in the legislature this year and more consideration is needed on the measure.

“This issue gives me pause in voting for the governor’s voucher proposal,” he said. “These issues warrant further assessment.”

Tennessee: Appeals court judges ignore will of the people in mosque case

via Judge: Mosque lawsuit suspect | Democrat and Chronicle | democratandchronicle.com.

NASHVILLE — A Tennessee Court of Appeals judge Tuesday asked why his court should decide if a Murfreesboro mosque was legally built when a federal court ordered Rutherford County to issue the certificate of occupancy.

“The building is built, and the people there have been using it for awhile,” Judge Andy D. Bennett said during a hearing at the Tennessee Supreme Court Building that’s across the street from the Capitol.

The judge also questioned why plaintiffs seek to stop a new Islamic Center of Murfreesboro mosque that opened last August on Veals Road off Bradyville Pike, southeast of the nearby city limits.

“It’s there,” said Bennett, who was part of a three-judge panel hearing oral arguments from attorneys about an appeal of a Chancery Court ruling on public notice. “It’s operating. Isn’t this moot?”

So two of the three judges don’t care about the law? It’s built so deal with it?

The plaintiffs’ attorney Joe Brandon of Murfreesboro, though, contends that the Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission failed to provide adequate public notice before approving the mosque on May 24, 2010.

“The rights of the people have to override the government,” Brandon said. “This case is about notice, adequate public notice based upon the totality of the circumstances.”

Planning commissioners voted last June to appeal Rutherford County Chancellor Robert Corlew III’s ruling that voided their mosque approval based on the local government failing to provide adequate public notice about the meeting in question.

The Islamic Center sued the county in federal court in response to Corlew deciding the county couldn’t issue a certificate of occupancy until the local government put the issue back on a future meeting agenda, gave proper notice and reconsider the site plans without discriminating against the ICM’s religious land-use rights.

Federal courts still can supersede anything Chancellor Corlew or a Tennessee appeals court does, Judge Bennett said.

Brandon countered that the federal court had no business in this case to “bulldoze over the top of the people.”

…the free publication only had 183 papers distributed in rural areas with 81,000 people, “which is less than one quarter of one percent.”

A local resident asked a pertinent question in an Op Ed piece, Does mosque support Islamic or American justice?

Chancellor Robert Corlew ruled the building permit issued by Rutherford County (Regional) Planning Commission illegal. Proper notice was not given by county commission to the public of the meeting to vote on said permit. Tennessee law was ignored by commission and county mayor. ICM was built without legal permit and an occupancy permit denied by a court of law. ICM cries discrimination against Islam and Muslim religion and sues Rutherford County. Feds align with Islamics and rule local law null and void. ICM calls this a victory and ignores local justice system. The same system ICM board member Sbenaty said “we always believe in our justice system.” Does he speak of Islamic or American justice?

Tennessee: Turkish-linked Islamic charter school coming to Nashville

via TCPJ Alert – Islamic charter school coming to Nashville

Nolensville Academy for Math and Science has once again notified the Metro Nashville School Board of its intent to submit a charter school application.  Lead petitioner Ismail Fidan is going to try again for a charter school after having had four prior applications rejected including the Nashville Academy of Science & Technology.

The Nolensville Academy’s “Letter of Intent” states that the majority of the students it plans to serve come from “minority-immigrant groups living in and around the Nolensville area.”

It seems counter-intuitive to segregate “minority-immigrant” groups from the opportunity to integrate and assimilate in the more inclusive Metro Nashville school population.  Responding to a 2008 civil rights office violation, the Metro Nashville school system was forced to desegregate foreign-language students and place them in the more inclusive general student population.

Chartering a public school to segregate “minority-immigrant” groups on its face also contradicts the push by Nashville’s socialist-progressives promoting an “equitable and inclusive” socialist utopia for the city.

Another cautionary note to the Metro Nashville school board regarding the Nolensville Academy application; consider the experience of the Minnesota charter school, the TiZa Academy, which was sued into bankruptcy by the ACLU for violating the Establishment clause of the Constitution.  Contributing to the suit was TiZa making religious accommodations for the predominantly Muslim student population thereby effectively turning the school into an Islamic madrassa.

Would the Nolensville Academy be “Gulen-inspired”

A quick search of Mr. Fidan’s involvement and associations with other charter schools includes the overtly Gulen schools Coral Academy of Science in Nevada and the Fulton Science Academy which was recently informed by its county school board that the school’s charter would be revoked a full two years before it was due to expire.

Nolensville Academy board member Marieta Velikova, like other board members at other Gulen schools, is a member of the Turkish-American Chamber of Commerce and a board member of the Society for Universal Dialogue (SUD), aka the Knoxville Turkish Cultural Center.  The SUD and the Iris Foundation (submitter of failed Knoxville Academy Gulen charter school) share the same address.  Iris Foundation’s Board’s secretary (and proposed President of the failed Knoxville charter school), Suzan Mertyurek, is a board member of Gulen schools in other states.

Growing public awareness about the Gulen charter school network along with reports of the federal investigation of problems associated with these schools also contributed to the recent denial of a Gulen-connected charter school application by the Loudon County, Virginia school board.

Last year, Louisiana closed the Abramson Science & Technology (Gulen) charter school and the Texas legislature initiated an investigation into the charter school network since it has the highest number of Gulen schools in the country.  In fact, it was the 2011 New York Times article on the Gulen network in Texas that both publicly exposed and confirmed information that independent researchers had been gathering for some time.

Tennessee: Muslim American Center hijacks Black History month

via tn Council 4 political justice

Playing to its fabricated-for-political-purposes victim status, the Tennessee Muslim American Center for Outreach (formerly referred to simply as American Center for Outreach or ACO) and the Muslim Community of Knoxville, will be commemorating Black History month by talking about Muslims.

A narrative being shopped by CAIR and other U.S. Islamist organizations is that Muslims were among the slaves brought to the New World by the Europeans. Sharing the slave experience with Muslim and non-Muslim African-Americans, they then bootstrap this to the current U.S. Muslim political narrative of a shared civil rights struggle.

The February 8^th speakers panel

Remziya Suleyman, Director of the Muslim American Center for Outreach (MACO), told her audience (around minute 44) this past June that even though she didn’t know what sharia was, she was going to defend it.  “I never knew the concept of sharia…I called imams across the state and I was like guys what is sharia?  I gotta go talk to politicians.”  She also brought Hamas-linked, unindicted Holy Land Foundation co-conspirator CAIR to Tennessee to assist her.

Imam Rafiq Madhi, a black American convert to Islam who started with the racist and anti-Semitic Nation of Islam completed his Islamic training in Saudi Arabia at the University of Medina.  His resume includes serving at what was described as a “small fundamentalist mosque” in Florida, a mosque that also served the needs of Jose Padilla who with ties to al Qaeda, was convicted of planning a “dirty bomb” attack in support of jihad.  Imam Madhi believes that “Islam is Islam, and it has been since it was revealed 1400 and some odd years ago, and it is not the right of any individual to take it upon themselves to change it based on their own rationale or want or desire. We want to keep it in the truest form.”  He claims that most Muslims do not see Hamas as a terrorist organization, and he would like to hear Osama Bin Laden’s “side of the story” because he’s not convinced he was behind 9/11.  In 2002, helped fundraise for the KindHearts Foundation which shut down under suspicion of raising money for Hamas.

Malik Shaw is also a black American convert to Islam.  He is currently the Vice Principal at the Muslim Brotherhood Pleasant View School in Memphis discussed in Newsletter #43.   Shaw and his wife, also a convert, helped to start the American Muslim Intercultural Network “to address the needs of the Muslims of American heritage.” Each month, they host “Convert-sations,” in part to remind Americans of their Muslim roots.

The Islamic Slave Trade was REAL and predated the European Slave Trade

Thanks to the Council on Islamic Education (CIE) historical facts about the Islamic slave trade have either been written out or whitewashed in social studies textbooks, so no one should be surprised if the panel speakers are not well informed about this unclaimed part of their history.

Chelby Daigle, a Black Muslim in Canada writing about Black History month for “Muslim Link” states:

I often find it frustrating to be around Muslims during Black History Month. Why? Because, although there is often a celebration of Black converts to Islam, like Malcolm X, and condemnation of the Transatlantic Slave Trade perpetrated by the West, there is little, if any, examination of the history of slavery in Muslim societies or of the persistence of anti-Black racism within these societies as well as within Muslim communities in Canada. The reality is I have faced more blatant anti-Black racism from my fellow Muslims than I ever did growing up in a predominantly White community.

It is important for Muslims to look deeper at their particular societies of origin in order to see how the enslavement of Black peoples in these societies has led to the development of anti-Black racism. For example, the fact that in several Arab dialects the word ʻabd, meaning slave, is used to refer to any Black person demonstrates that in these societies the equation of Black people with slaves still persists.

In 2002, historian Dr. Kwaku Pearson-Lynn, also of African descent, in her piece titled “Christianity, Islam and Slavery” asserts that the Arab invasion of North Africa in the 7^th century A.D. to spread Islam also changed the face of slavery in this part of the world.  “Afrikans were captured, treated brutally and inhumanely, then shipped off to other Arab countries in Asia, or other parts of Afrika that they controlled. This happened approximately 600 years before the European Christians got involved.”

Her academic integrity also addresses the contributions of Christians and Jews to the travesty of the slave trade.  HOWEVER, she notes that the slave trading in force today is conducted “still in the name of Islam.”  Simon Deng, Francis Bok and Charles Jacobs can personally confirm this fact.

Regardless of the Islamist pitch, there is no humanity in slavery regardless of Islam’s alleged doctrinal allowances for humane treatment of slaves.

Given that Islam in the Black slave history plays a similar and yet continuing role, why would Black Americans ever convert to Islam?  Why embrace a religion and culture whose lexicon denigrates Black humanity in both word and act?

What would happen if Islamist organizations allowed the accurate history of the Islamic slave trade to be taught in schools or even included in textbooks?  Do Muslim writers avoid the truth of the Islamic slave trade because it is not safe for them to write about a part of Muslim history  that reflects negatively on Islam?

Black American Muslims that the panel may not mention…

Stealth jihadist infiltrates local Tea Party

via Stealth Jihad in America.

In December 2010, Will Coley, director of Muslims for Liberty — a group that decries American exceptionalism, accuses the United States of war crimes, and espouses ostensibly anti-Israel ideology — joined the Knoxville Tea Party. Coley had been involved with the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Muslim Student Association at the University of Central Florida in Valencia, where he converted to Islam. His stated goal in joining the Tea Party was to educate people about Islam and sharia doctrine and counter “misinformation” and “Islamophobia.” But his disingenuous statements and faulty interpretations of Islamic doctrine appeared to suggest otherwise.

In Tennessee, Coley expressed concern about proposed legislation to prohibit sharia in the state. According to a Tennessee Tea Party activist, Coley stated that he was working with a local Islamic school to eliminate sharia prohibitions from the Tennessee statute. He characterized the legislation as a freedom-of-religion issue and claimed that it was indicative of the hatred conservatives feel toward Muslims.

He gave local talks promoting the idea that sharia doctrine is compatible with the U.S. Constitution and went so far as to falsely proclaim that Islamic legal theory influenced American law. Coley obfuscated the truth about sharia, a comprehensive Islamic doctrine that controls every aspect of life and must be imposed on Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Sharia mandates gender apartheid, religious apartheid, cruel punishments, the denial of free speech and due process, and many other such incompatibilities with American constitutional law.

 Aaron Klein reported on this a few weeks ago, ‘Tea party’ group fights for Islamic causes:

The radical left Center for American Progress, or CAP, actually promotes Muslims4Liberty as a small organization of supposed tea-party activists “fighting against the right wing’s Islamophobia,” according to a CAP description.

Think Progress, the CAP’s official blog, noted how Illume Magazine documented the efforts of Will Coley, a self-proclaimed Tea Party member and Islam convert who co-founded Muslims4Liberty to confront “anti-Islam activists head on.”

Illume quotes Coley describing how he started going to tea-party events in Florida in 2009 but was concerned about the emergence of “Islamophobia” in the movement.

“I was watching the neocon takeover happen,” said Coley. “Literally overnight I saw groups devoted to economics and constitutional limits turn into something else. Suddenly there were invites to see anti-Islam speakers. This crazy anti-Islam message was taking over.”

After moving to Tennessee, Coley said he began outreach to local tea-party groups to explain how Islam and Shariah Islamic law is compatible with tea-party principles.

Illume reports that after speaking with 14 tea-party chapters about Shariah, 12 agreed to reject so-called anti-Muslim appeals.

The chapters even supported a petition opposing a proposed “Shariah ban” in Tennessee.

Tea Party aligned with Shariah?

Coley gave lectures to tea-party chapters purporting to explain how Shariah promotes liberty.

Stated Coley: “We use principles within Shariah like maqasid (primary goals) to show their connection with John Locke’s principles of life, liberty and property.”

Shariah law, however, has often been decried as incompatible with the values of liberty or democracy.

The doctrine, for example, does not allow Muslims to be ruled by non-Muslims and calls for a special “protection” tax against all non-Muslims.

Furthermore, it dictates non-Muslims living in an Islamic state cannot build new churches or synagogues. Muslims who kill non-Muslims do not get the death penalty.

Multiple other aspects of Shariah, including its view of non-Muslims as unequal or its treatment of women and minorities, are arguably incompatible with constitutional principals as well.
