This is a couple of weeks old, but Jihad Watch reader Benedict just brought it to my attention today, and I thought in light of the ongoing recent attempts to whitewash Sharia, it was worth setting the record straight.

How Feisal Abdul Rauf and Muqtedar Khan whitewash Sharia
Stonings? Amputations? The institutionalized oppression of women and non-Muslims? The denial of the freedom of speech? The death penalty for apostates?
