Florida U.S. Congressman Allen West’s (Florida District 22) Op Ed piece titled Shariah Finance And Its Radical Ties Demand Close Scrutiny makes clear the dangers of Shariah law.  Congressman West summarized in the Investor’s Business Daily article:

Shariah mandates as a religious obligation:
• Violent jihad against non-Muslims to establish Islam's rule worldwide.
• The killing of apostates from Islam.
• The killing of adulterers and homosexuals.
• Severe discrimination against women, including stoning.
• Barbaric punishment, such as limb amputations and gouging out of eyes for petty crimes like theft.
• Severe discrimination against, and the subjugation of, non-Muslims.
• Last, and most pertinent to this subject, is Shariah mandates that Muslims who cannot engage in physical jihad using force, must support jihad with money.

It is important to prepare the way for passage of anti-Sharia legislation in the 2013 Florida Legislative Session by thanking those 2012 legislators who sponsored SB 1360 and house companion HB 1209 titled Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases.  Click here to read full text of bill. 

This legislation would prohibit courts from considering certain provisions of foreign laws including Islamic Sharia law.   There are numerous provisions of Sharia law which are inconsistent with Florida statutes.  Sharia law authorizes polygamy, pedophilia and perpetuates violence towards women and death for dishonoring the faith.  
 
The Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases legislation would have passed the 2012 Florida Legislature were it not for the senate president playing personal favorites with certain bills.  The House of Representatives voted 92-24 to approve HB 1209.   SB 1360 passed all committees but Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos’ personal politics prevented the bill from being voted on by the full Florida Senate. 

Rest assured that the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be back in force as they were in the 2012 session to oppose this legislation next year.  CAIR is fighting to prevent Florida and nineteen other states from enacting legislation which would prohibit provisions of Sharia law from applying in American courts if such provisions are inconsistent with the state and federal constitution and statutes.  

It is important to thank the Florida Legislators who sponsored HB 1209 and SB 1360 before we get too far away from the close of the 2012 session.  We need them and other legislators to support this important legislation in the 2013 session which begins in January 2013.

We have prepared an email for you to send to thank the following legislators who sponsored SB 1360 and HB 1209:  Senator Allan Hays, Senator Greg Evers, Senator Don Gaetz, Representative Janet Adkins, Representative Larry Ahern, Representative Ben Albritton, Representative Dennis Baxley, Representative Jim Boyd, Representative Broxson, Representative Matt Caldwell, Representative Daphne Campbell, Representative Richard Corcoran, Representative Fred Costello, Representative Brad Drake, Representative Clay Ford, Representative Matt Gaetz, Representative Jim Grant, Representative Bill Hager, Representative Gail Harrell, Representative Shawn Harrison, Representative Mike Horner, Representative Clay Ingram, Representative Paige Kreegel, Representative Charles McBurney, Representative Ray Pilon, Representative Elizabeth Porter, Representative Franklin Sands, Representative Jimmie Smith, Representative Kelli Stargel, Representative Greg Steube, Representative John Tobia, Representative Charles Van Zant, Representative Mike Weinstein and Representative Trudi Williams.
