PENNSYLVANIA: CAIR gets anti-Foreign (sharia) Law legislation stalled in Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee.

HB 2029 which would ban the application of sharia law, has not moved for six months since terror-linked CAIR Philadelphia opposed it.

If there is any state legislature in America that should understand the need to spell out to judges that Sharia law should not be given any weight in their courts it is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The state’s judiciary came under national criticism in February 2012 when Pennsylvania Judge Mark Martin ruled that it was ok for a Muslim immigrant to allegedly chokehold an American citizen because the Muslim was allegedly unaware that Sharia law did not apply in Pennsylvania. Judge Martin essentially injected Sharia law as a defense.

HB 2029 entitled Amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, prohibiting the application of foreign law which would impair constitutional rights was introduced to the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 18, 2011.

The following forty three (43) Pennsylvania Representatives introduced HB 2029:  Representative Swanger, Metcalfe, Perry, Baker, Benninghoff, Clymer, Cox, Creighton, Cutler, Denlinger, Dunbar, J. Evans,  Gabler, Geist, Gingrich, Grove, Helm, Hennessy, Kauffman, F. Keller, Knowles, Maher, Metzgar, Millard, Miller, Moul, Murt, Mustio, Oberlander, Peifer, Pyle, Rapp, Roae, Saccone, Saylor, Schroder, Stern, Tallman, Toepel, Toohil, Truitt, Vereb and Youngblood.

The bill was referred to the House Judiciary committee on November 18, 2011, the same day it was introduced, where it has sat unmoved for six months.

CAIR Philadelphia (Council on American Islamic Relations) opposition to HB 2029 may explain why the bill has not moved.  It appears CAIR Philadelphia was instrumental in influencing the Philadelphia City Council and Pittsburgh City Council to adopt resolutions aimed at opposing HB 2029.

Both resolutions use hyped up rhetoric to inflame emotions and fail to recognize what HB 2029 actually achieves.

HB 2029 mirrors the American Public Policy Alliance legislation titled American Laws for America Courts and is supported by the Center for Security Policy.

Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send urging the twenty-five members on the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee to support and move HB 2029 prohibiting the application of foreign law which would impair constitutional rights.

  1. if you are going to eather visit or live in a country other than your own know the laws.not knowing them is no excuse

  2. Here’s a partial list of problems with DISCRIMINATORY Sharia:

    -Democracy is not possible under Sharia, because man-made law is considered illicit.
    -Free speech is not possible. Any criticism of Islam is punished by death.
    -Kafirs may not accuse a Muslim of a crime.
    -A woman’s testimony before a judge is worth half that of a man.
    -Women receive just one half the inheritance of a male
    -Muslim men are given permission by Allah in the Quran to beat their wives.
    -Muslim men are permitted to marry up to four wives and to keep concubines in any number.
    -Muslim women may marry only one Muslim man and are forbidden from marrying a non-Muslim.
    -A Muslim woman who divorces and remarries loses custody of children from a prior marriage.
    -Honor killing is permitted: A Muslim parent faces no legal penalty under Islamic law for killing his child or grandchild.
    -Honor killing an apostate is permitted. A self-directed Muslim faces no legal penalty under Sharia for killing an apostate.
    -Sharia stipulates cruel and unusual punishments such as amputation, crucifixion, flogging, and stoning.
    -Sharia stipulates that Islam is superior to every other culture, faith, government, and society and that it is ordained by Allah to conquer and dominate them.
    -Anti-Semitism is intrinsic to Sharia and is based on the genocidal behavior of Mohammed who wiped out the entire Jewish population of the Arabian Peninsula.
    -Arab women may not marry non-Arab men. Sharia is racist.
    -Under Sharia, slander means anything that might offend a Muslim. ‘Hurting a Muslim’s feelings is a crime.
    -Underage marriage is permitted. There is no minimum age for a marriage contract and consummation may take place when the girl is age eight or nine.
    -Orphan girls may be abducted and forced into marriages against their wills.
    -Islamic charity ‘zakat’ may be given only to Muslims, never to non-Muslims.
    -A portion of ‘zakat’ is used to fund jihad, the warfare to subjugate non-Muslims. Even Islamic charity is supremacist.
    -Female genital mutilation (circumcision) is mandatory.
    -Women may not leave their home without a husband’s permission.
    -Men may beat insubordinate wives (and today’s technology provides video instruction).
    -Adultery is punished by death by stoning (definitely for women, sometimes for men).
    -A woman’s testimony in court is only worth half that of a man.
    -Non-Muslim women married to Muslim men may not testify in Sharia courts.
    -Rape must be verified by four male witnesses.
    -Forced child marriage is allowed.
    -Aggressive, military Jihad of conquest is a religious duty.
    -Non-Muslims have inferior status in Muslim society (Dhimmis).
    -Capital punishment for apostasy (leaving Islam).
    -Capital punishment for homosexuals and lesbians.
    -Capital punishment by stoning for ‘unlawful intercourse’. No court is required.
    -Slavery is legal.
    -Lying to kafirs (unbelievers) is allowed. It’s known as Taqiyyah.
    -Polygamy is allowed.

    Sharia’s purpose is to discriminate against women and Kafirs. Just say no.

    • Thank you Perceptor. We all know the sharia laws but it’s nice to have them listed as simply as you have. Will be copy and paste for my files for future transfers…

  3. What in the world is wrong with spineless, jelly backed Pennsylvainia legislators that can be intimidated by this unamerican bunch of terrorist supporting, whining, eternally insulted jerks ?

    Are they all as crooked as the recently deceased guy who built his own private (nearly) airport with their money ?

    Oh. I get it now. The people of Penn. elected them to take gratuities or promises of election funds instead of protecting American and State laws.

    I guess it’s O.K. then.

  4. I’ve signed the petition. Thanks BNI. And I urge all other followers of BNI to do the same, and help prevent the spread of the demonic death cult known as Islam in America,and the Sharia Sh– that goes with it!!

  5. OK, who is paying these legislators off that shelved the proposal in committee?

    We all know that government is corrupt and public officials get bribed with money or political favors to do what certain people and special interests want.

  6. There has to be a way to eliminate this muslim slime from our country before many more are bred ! They are breeding 10yr’old and up. They also kill them if they don’t want to breed!! This ignorant and stupid goverment doesnt care when this happens to their grand daughters! We need the military to say to hell with obummer the muslim and the gov.
