Muslim Advisor to Obama Defends Sharia

In another example of newspeak, a hijab wearing muslim woman advisor to hussein obama said that sharia law represents "gender justice" not the brutal repression of women. You see, those of us in the west who associate sharia with "honor" killings and female genital mutilation, forced veiling, burkas etc. have it all wrong. Now I realize that we have just been misinformed Islamophobes who don't understand that the real islam is about peace and the equality of the sexes. I'm so glad Dalia Mogahed is in a position to straighten us out. This woman was obviously put in this "job" to confuse and mislead gullible infidels. We can expect more outrages such as this coming from an administration led by a marxist and muslim.

During the 45-minute discussion, on the Islam Channel programme Muslimah Dilemma earlier this week, the two members of the group made repeated attacks on secular "man-made law" and the West's "lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism".

They called for Sharia Law to be "the source of legislation" and said that women should not be "permitted to hold a position of leadership in government".

Miss Mogahed made no challenge to these demands and said that "promiscuity" and the "breakdown of traditional values" were what Muslims admired least about the West.

She said: "I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media.

"The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance.

"The portrayal of Sharia has been oversimplified in many cases."
