In a surprise weekend vote, the city council of Dearborn, Michigan voted 4-3 to became the first US city to officially
implement all aspects of Sharia Law. The tough new law, slated to go into
effect January 1st, addresses secular law including crime, politics and
economics as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, fasting,
prayer, diet and hygiene.
The new law could see citizens
stoned for adultery or having a limb amputated for theft. Lesser offenses, such
as drinking alcohol or abortion, could result in flogging and/or caning. In
addition, the law imposes harsh laws with regards to women and allows for child
marriage.
Some in town seem to welcome the new
legislation while others have denounced the move as “abhorrent”, a threat to
freedom and incompatible with the Constitution. When asked by National
Report about the need for such a law, local resident Jeremy Ahmed stated:
“It is because of our need that
Allah the Almighty, in all his generosity, has created laws for us, so that we
can utilize them to obtain justice. We hope to see other cities taking this
action in the face of the government’s inaction of passing such legislation”.
Other local residents have taken to
social media sites with comments ranging from “praise be to Allah” and “long
live Islam” to “RIP Dearborn” and “Only in Obama’s America would an American
city consider Sharia Law”.
The city of Dearborn is a well-known
safe haven for Muslims and Muslim sympathizers. With a population of around 98
thousand people, roughly 30% of its residence are Muslims making them the
largest concentration of Muslims in the United States.
The dangers of Sharia Law in America
were first outlined in a 2010 study produced by the Center for Security Policy
(CSP) titled “Sharia: The Threat
to America“, a 352-page book based on
authoritative sources of Islamic law. While sharia includes strict rules for
prayer and fasting, it is also an all-encompassing legal and political code
that covers all aspects of life including those that have nothing to do with
religion.
