( 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.



Tancredos 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 arent comfortable with that concept, you arent welcome in the United States.

    • End Sharia law and it's injustice! No one, man or women, in this world should be so terribly oppressed as are the women and homosexuals under Sharia.

    • I don't want this in my country. I was born in the United Kingdom and I have lived under British law all of my life. I am a christian but I don't use my religion to be used as a political means of control the rights of others. This is discrimination and how it gets away with it must be investigated. These are war crimes agasin't the world. Sharia law is being used world wide. This must be stopped at once. People are being murdered under it. For people to say it is not going on should look at recent headline stories where british people have been put in prsion under it. A christian couple in Gambia were put in jail under sharia law. What about their religious rights? This is not acceptable to be used. For a simple reason not all people are muslims and also muslim human rights are being abused. That is what sharia law stands for human rights abuse!!! We say NO TO SHARIA LAW

    • It is absolutely outrageous that this would even be considered. How dare the law maker of this country think that they can just accept inhumane laws from other countries that would set women back hundreds of years? There will be an uprising and a overthrow. WE THE PEOPLE!!! REMEMBER THAT LAW MAKERS!!!!! WE WILL TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK! YOU ARE PUSHING US TOO FAR!!!

    • The sentence "Are you kidding?" seems to sum it up briefly. Law makers in the UK must be insane to even CONSIDER instituting such an appaling legal system as part of theirs.

    • This despicable practice is not only thoroughly un-american it is an insult to every logical thinking human being on this planet who believes that freedom is not a privilage, it is right given to us by the act of our birth, granted that religious and cultural tolerance is to be lauded and celebrated, this practice, if allowed, would not only call for the deaths of innocent people guilty of the crime of nothing more then living a life that they irrationally consider evil, but the enslavement of the entire female gender to principles that belong in the dark ages, and should not in any civilized nation, such as ours, be tolerated or encouraged
