My Personal Encounter with Shariah Law
By Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

Two weeks ago, I found myself directly in the crosshairs of the growing conflict between Shariah law and our Constitution.

The Oxford Dictionary of Islam defines “Shariah law” as “God’s eternal and immutable will for humanity, as expressed in the Quran and Muhammad’s example (Sunnah), considered binding for all believers.”

In practical terms, “Shariah” also describes a movement under way in European and American legal systems to overturn Western civilization through the imposition of Islamic law and culture. As a constitutional attorney, I can tell you firsthand that this phenomenon is accelerating at an alarming rate.

++Hotel cancels conference on Shariah law.

An important conference featuring leading experts on the Constitution and Shariah law was originally scheduled to be held at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, today. But just days ago, Hutton Hotel banned the conference and cancelled a perfectly valid contract, claiming “safety concerns.”

Thankfully, the conference quickly found another venue, but not without great expense and difficulty.

The fact is, private companies and municipalities are facing more and more pressure to cater to or adopt special rules for Muslims. In one recent case, Muslim workers claimed “unfair labor practices” because they were told to clock out before taking prayer breaks. In another instance, claims of discrimination were leveled when Muslim women were told not to wear their head scarves for safety reasons before going on a roller coaster.

And now in courts of law across this nation, Shariah law is already being applied in case after case.

++There are actually dozens of “Shariah law” cases in our courts!

A study by the Center for Security Policy found 50 state court cases that considered Shariah law. To make matters worse, these cases referenced differing variations of Shariah law from 16 countries. The study concluded, “[J]udges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with constitutional protections.”

That means, in reality, Shariah law could be being applied in hundreds of other courtrooms across this nation!

++The greatest threat we face from radical Islam.

The truth is, the greatest threat our nation now faces from radical Islam is not in the form of another 9/11 attack, but rather in the slow, steady, and systematic implementation of Shariah law.

It’s already happening in Europe where schools are adopting special rules for Muslim students during Rhamadan. Europe is so far gone that the Archbishop of Canterbury (the head of the Church of England) said that the adoption of Shariah law is “unavoidable” and the idea that “there is one law for everybody” is now in “a bit of a danger.”

The Association of Liberty Counsels have petitioned and are opposing Shariah law in our courts.

When the Hutton Hotel in Nashville banned the conference on Shariah law, I immediately sent them a strongly worded Demand Letter objecting to their suppression of free speech rights.

It was then that I knew we had to do more immediately. . I am asking you to be among the early signers of this petition as, together, we build a grassroots coalition to stop Shariah law.
