Newt’s fatwa on Muslims 7-16-2016

16, July 2016                               Newt’s fatwa on Muslims

Newt Gingrich has stirred a hornist’s nest by his proposal to deport Muslims who adhere to Islamic Sharia law. Is he right? Let the reader decide. Here is a sample of Sharia law. 

• Theft is punishable by amputation.
• Criticizing the Quran or Muhammad is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who rejects his faith is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who persuades Muslims to reject their faith is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl as young as 9 years old girl and consummate the marriage

• Girls' clitoris should be cut (Muhammad's words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives.

• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife; a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A divorced wife loses custody of all children over 6 years of age.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court carries half the weight of a man's and is limited to half of the assets.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).

• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.

Do American Muslims support Sharia law and if so, why?
