An update on this post a few days ago - UMinn, to launch Islamic sharia law program.

more Islamic sharia law in the U.S. via Shining light on darkness: U of M opens think tank on

At the opening ceremonies for the University of Minnesota’s new think tank on Islamic law
and Human Rights, Congressmember Keith Ellison described a time when he was a young boy
afraid of what lurked underneath his bed when the lights were off. One day his mother turned on
the lights and told him to look underneath the bed and said, “There’s nothing under there but
some toys you lost a long time ago,” Ellison recalled. Similarly, the fear, hysteria and
misinformation have circulated worldwide about the topic of Islam. “We find ourselves afraid of
something we don’t know anything about,” Ellison said.

Ellison is lying through his teeth. He knows there are many speaking in America who know more
about sharia than he does. Muslims and ex-Muslims – who were born into Islam unlike himself –
and speak out vigorously against sharia law. The more people find out, the more they realize
Islamic sharia law is in no way compatible with U.S. law.

Professor David Wippman, Dean of the University of Minnesota Law School, said the Islamic
Law and Human Rights program will look at questions of the compatibility of Islamic law and
human rights, and examine topics such as property rights, the position of women, and crime. 
The program will address what the traditions are in a “dispassionate, informed way,” he said. 
Already, there have been reactions to the forming of the program, Wippman said, and not all
those reactions have been favorable. He said he is looking forward to the fruits of the
program’s research, which will benefit to the school, the university community, and the
nation at large.

In the coming months, the center will offer teaching fellowships, support research, hold
conferences, and provide training resources to students, the legal community, and human
rights organizations.

So the Islamic sharia law center will be training the legal community and this will benefit the
nation at large how? Students will be indoctrinated to some sanitized version of Islamic sharia
law that could only be taught at a university think tank…where the signs are already emerging
that the this will be the case.

“In my research, Islam doesn’t oppress women…  the only reason women don’t have equal
rights is not because of Islam but because of incorrect interpretation of Islamic law.”  Merhebi
said she hopes to bridge the gap between the true teaching of Islam and its interpretations.
Congress member Keith Ellison said he was proud that his alma mater was starting the
program, and that it will be “shining light on a subject that has been in darkness and
misinformation.”

We’ve been shining a light for more than two years now, and others far longer than us. This
oxymoronically-named think tank is proof positive that sharia continues to creep further into
America.

By the way Ellison spent Presidents Day weekend at the College of Sharia in Qatar a few years
ago. Did he bring back the seeds of this Islamic sharia program?
