Tancredo Get's It! We Need Leaders Like This!
Jihad Prevention Act Proposed to Protect US Courts
Tancredo Proposes Anti-Sharia Measure in Wake of U.K. Certification of Islamic Courts
Friday, 19 September 2008
“Jihad Prevention Act” would deny U.S. visas to advocates of ‘Sharia’ law, expel Islamists already here.
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.”
Tancredo’s 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 aren’t comfortable with that concept, you aren’t welcome in the United States.”
Wild Thing's comment..........
Yep he gets it and he takes a lot of flack for doing so, yet, he keeps at it. I wish he would stay in office. I heard this is Tancredo’s last year in office...he’s quitting. Duncan Hunter is rather strong on the same issues as well.
Like every other leftist ideal it leads to nothing but the destruction of our civilization as we know it. And if they do not do something now, not a few years from now that would be too late. Our politicians in Washington are too worried about being PC with the Muslims and this will destroy us and our country.
According to some of the CAIR-sponsored legislation now being proposed in Congress, Tom Tancredo’s words would constitute a defamation of Islam and be a form of hate speech.
....Thank you Tom for sending this to me.

All we have to do is look at Europe, especially Enland and France and see what a small but growing moslem minority is demanding. They want the law of these Western nations to include Sharia laws. Eventually of course, these moslems will want total and only Sharia Law.
We cannot allow this creeping of moslem influence to get a foothold here in America. It has already begun in the workplace(Swift meat plants) and in higher education(Harvard).
Our overdesire for political correctness and inclusion opens the door for the muzzies to make their demands to change our culture to theirs. The Constitition guarantees our freedoms, but sadly we now need laws enacted just to protect the Constitution.

Tom Tancredo belongs in congress but he can't get any real support in Colorado now. Colorado is for all intents and purposes a sanctuary state and without money from oil and gas companies almost nobody can afford to run. Every industry in Colorado depends on Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal, for employees. Maybe he ought to move to Arizona and run for McCain's seat in the Senate.

Surely you understand that I meant after McCain is elected President.

This just another reason why Obama does not belong in the white house. When I see Hamas, and half of Europe endorsing Obama this should be enough to convince anyone not to vote for the 'dark-side'.

Like Mark stated that should be reason enough to back away from Obama, we only barely have sovereignty left, everything else has been sold out by our leaders. Tancredo and Duncan were the only two who really stood up for the nation and they were tossed under the rolling wheels of the bus by our very own RNC in favor of a Rockefeller Republican. Palin might be a hand picked savior in disguise, I hope so. She would never have been heard of otherwise.
I have that same feeling in the gut I always had when out on a mission, something's gonna happen and it ain't gonna be good. Damned good time to stock up on lead, the metal of choice in a crisis.
Buy ammo and vote the bums out!!!

Tom, good point yes now because of all this Sharia Law stuff and political correctness we have to be concerned with protecting our Constitition more then ever. Like you said we will probably have to add things to make sure this cannot happen from the Muslims. I hope Tancredo gets a lot of signatues.

Horace thank you so much for the input. I was hoping you would see this and comment on it since you live in Colorado.
Good idea, yes that would be great if when his term is done in Col. he could move to AZ. and run there. I hate to lose him he has stood for some good things.

Horace, giggle, I knew exactly what you meant. Thanks again Horace.

Mark, I agree and I like the way you put it with the "dark -side" too. That is where he came from in his soul and that darkness of evil is just what he will bring to his presidency.

Jack,I know what yo umean it is a nagging feeling and the waiting for the shoe to drop. Not knowing what it will be or when but there will be something and maybe many things we don't know. But those good ole days of relaxing a bit on feeling secure are very fragile now, and too few real leaders.

Muslims Against Sharia praise Congressman Tancredo's initiative. We advocated similar measures in the past and fully support "Gihad Prevention Act"
"Any person from a country where a substantial part of the population is pro-Sharia should not be allowed in the West, not only as an immigrant, but even as a visitor with a few exceptions, i.e., political asylum or as a diplomat etc. ... Every legal immigrant should be allowed to stay only if he/she did not display desire to establish a Sharia state in a host country. Any naturalized citizen who displays a desire to establish a Sharia state in a host country should have his/her citizenship revoked and promptly deported. I think the latter two groups is where the real danger lies." Linda Ahmed, FrontPage Magazine, July 24, 2008
"Anyone who proclaims Islamic extremist views should be tried for sedition, since we are at war with radical Islam, or at the very least, promptly deported." Khalim Massoud, FrontPage Magazine, September 9, 2008
