Islam and International Humanitarian Law Workship Syracuse University
The College of Arts and Sciences Syracuse University
17 April 2009
Religions and Cultures Workshop, Islam and International Humanitarian Law
Organizer: William Banks, SU Law/PA)
The Islam and International Humanitarian Law Workshop
(17 April 2009
Syracuse University) will explore the role of Islam in the ongoing development of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) with special attention to its present-day challenges.
The Workshop serves two purposes:
First to establish an interdisciplinary working group of the Mellon CNY Humanities Corridor faculty taking up questions of culture and religion in the analysis of international conflicts, new forms of warfare, the value of humanitarian mechanisms in international law, and the challenges at the intersection of Islam and IHL.
Second, to expand the lessons learned into ongoing research initiatives that define larger objectives in adapting IHL to conflicts involving non-state entities, failed, and vulnerable states.
The Workshop functions as a follow-up to the research initiative at SU entitled “New Battlefields, Old Laws: From the Hague Conventions to Asymmetric Warfare.”
The Muslim Law Students Association promotes understanding and appreciation of both the general Islamic world and the Legal Islamic world by sponsoring events that:
* Educate the legal community about the textual sources, historical development, and evolution of Islamic Law;
* Explain the theoretical foundations and methodologies employed by various schools of Islamic legal thought;
* Present the Islamic perspective on contemporary legal debates as well as issues of universal concern;
* Discuss the applications of Islamic law in the lives of Western Muslims, and familiarize the legal community about the needs and concerns of American Muslims in particular.
The Muslim Law Students Association invites all interested students and faculty to join .

To insert islamic law (shariah) in the same sentence as "humanitarian" law is so patently dishonest and dangerous and bad enough, but a conference that attempts to put the two together is criminal. It is propaganda under the guise of education.
What deception! This is taqiyya, lies to advance Islam. Who is underwriting this? What petrosheikdom is Syracuse whoring itself out for? Or is this part of OIC compliance in league with the Alliance of Civilizations? Islamic law ...think taliban. Think stoning, public hangings of gays, honor killings, clitorectomies, beheading, death penalties for apostasy and hypocrisy, (and reinterpreting the Koran), shariah finance, child marriage, marital rape, death to rape victims.
4.17.2009 Workshop, Syracuse University: The goal of the initiative’s first workshop is to begin identifying the most pressing issues at the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and humanitarian law and to consider how their shared concerns may prompt creativity in addressing present gaps in IHL—notably, the lack of standards for dealing with the rise of irregular armies or the inability of the law to accommodate asymmetric forms of attacks by non-state entities against sovereign states.
III Network and Related Initiatives: INSCT is developing partnerships on different aspects of this topic with the United Institute for Peace’s (USIP) Rule of Law Center of Innovation, which develops strategies for policymakers and practitioners to promote the rule of law in fragile and post-conflict societies; and Harvard University’s International Humanitarian Law Research Initiative (IHLRI), a central resource for the reaffirmation and development of international humanitarian law based at the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Well, the 20 million dollar gift that Harvard received from the Saudis really did pay off.

Overview: The Islam-IHL initiative examines from multiple perspectives the ongoing role of Islam, including Islamic leaders, in International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and the potential of that contribution for contending with new forms of warfare and international conflicts. The goal of the Workshop is to begin identifying the most pressing issues at the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and humanitarian law and to consider how their shared concerns may prompt creativity in addressing troubling gaps in IHL today—notably, the lack of standards for dealing with the rise of irregular armies, or the inability of the law to accommodate asymmetric forms of attacks by non-state entities against sovereign states.
Wild Thing's comment.........
They are working hard to accompolish their plan for our country. And now with B. Hussein they will have even a fast track to their agenda being seen.
Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America
This is my analysis of the Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?
1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.
2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American's religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, "Abed."
3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.
4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.
5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.
6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America - the black gold. America's economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.
7. Yell, "foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran" anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.
8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?
9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:
a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)
b. No birth control whatsoever - every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.
c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years - since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.
d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far - sleeping cells!
10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.
11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish "Centers for Islamic studies" with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.
12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia's Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America's high schools--free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.
13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.
14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)
15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American's justice system.
16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.
17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.
18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.
19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.
20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Nothing new here, except that too many Americans are not paying attention. I thought Bush blew an excellent chance after 9-11 to cut off muslim immigration.
Some Hispanics have the same goal to take over America. I wonder what will happen when they and the islamists clash.

What is amazing the Libs. go along with this get along crap. Especially, the female lib version. Islam is the most restrictive religion/nationality toward women there is. Yet they still support it with the insane notion that they can change them.
Do they ever bother reading the newspapers that actually follow the Honor killings, the beheadings of Women ? They are too busy worrying about the glass ceiling when they should be worrying about their Ass. Because Socialism lives next door to sharia.

Tom, yes it would have made such a huge
difference if Bush had come down hard on
not allowing them into our country.
Now they are going to schools, prisons
etc. and brainwashing people to join
them.

Mark, yesss that is something I just don't
get. Those libs the feminazi's and I truly
am no friend of their stupid thing, why are
they so much for this BS of treating women
so badly. Just like that womens lib group
N.O.W. they never spoke up when those women
said what Bill Clinton had done, the one that
told about him saying...."put some ice on it."
They are a phony group and don't really care
about women and how they are treated at all.
Sorry to go on about it but I can't stand
womens lib. haha
