New in PJ Media:
As the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks came and went, the establishment media made sure that we heard as great deal about “Islamophobia.” Much of it centered upon growing opposition all over the country to the spread of Sharia. Over in France, meanwhile, the French population is finding out firsthand what Sharia is all about, and it’s not quite as pretty as leftist politicians and their media propagandists would have us believe.
“Nationally,” the Guardian wrote sadly on Sunday, “the Center for the Study of Organized Hate documented a coordinated campaign among 89 elected officials over 13 months, including 1,111 social media posts and eight bills, tied to a ‘Sharia Free America Caucus’ that has grown to 65 members. The anti-Sharia campaigns are not new: close to two dozen states passed largely symbolic anti-Sharia laws in the early 2010s.”
The far-left paper quoted Mobashra Tazamal, associate director of Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative, a Saudi-funded exercise in Islamic apologetics, the whitewashing of the terror threat, and fearmongering about “Islamophobia,” to say: “This isn’t an issue. It’s not something that’s real. It’s constructed, and then these politicians claim to be tackling this constructed problem that they create.”
Not to be outdone, the New York Times highlighted Kambiz GhaneaBassiri, “a professor of religion and politics at Washington University in St. Louis,” to say that “Islamophobia” took deep root in the U.S. after the 9/11 jihad attacks: “People forget now the degree to which Islamophobia was not something that was just on the right but was present on both sides.” Big bad Trump changed all that, GhaneaBassiri claimed, when he called for immigration restrictions on some Muslim countries that were hotbeds of jihad activity, but “before that moment, if [Muslims] criticized the state, their loyalty was always questioned by people on both the right and the left.”
That was never remotely true, as Muslims have been steadily growing in numbers, power, and influence in the U.S. since 9/11, but the victimhood narrative, and the fundamental assumption that Sharia is completely harmless religious law to which only irredeemable racists, bigots and “Islamophobes” could possibly object, had to be maintained.
Meanwhile, an uncomfortably disconfirming incident unfolded over in France. The American establishment media ignored it completely, but it warrants attention, as it indicates the kind of thing that is certain to happen here the more Sharia gains a foothold in this country.
GB News reported Saturday that “a 47-year-old man in France has been sentenced to just six months in prison after threatening to decapitate his son’s primary school teacher.” If you’re wondering whether this 47-year-old man might be someone who had something to do with Sharia, you’ve won the jackpot: “Abdelkader B was sent directly to jail in Toulouse after the court determined his threats were too grave to warrant a suspended sentence.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Christians should be very concerned about the spread of Islam in general and the impact of Sharia Law in particular.
Aspects of Sharia Law that concern Christians:
Jihad: Jihad is holy war against the infidels of the world. All Muslims are obliged to kill the infidel. An infidel (or kafir) is a non-Muslim. Many Muslims think that killing an infidel guarantees going straight to paradise.
Apostasy: All apostates are to be killed. An apostate is any person who renounces Islam and changes his religion. Christians are not allowed to convert Muslims to Christianity. Conversion is perceived as blasphemy and carries the death penalty. Distributing Christian literature can result in a five-year prison sentence under Sharia Law.
Criticism of Islam: The death penalty applies to Muslims who criticize Muhammad, the Qur’an or Sharia Law. Severe penalties also apply to Christians who speak out against Islam.
Freedom of Worship: Although Islam pays lip service to “people of the book” (other Abrahamic religions), and the Qur’an says to respect and honor all people irrespective of their religion, the reality is that some Islamic countries are persecuting Christians, targeting their places of worship, and killing and imprisoning believers. Persecution is intense in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Maldives, and other countries with a strong Islamic influence.
Female victims of rape: Sharia Law protects rapists. A woman making an accusation of rape has to provide four male witnesses. If she is unable to do so, she will be charged with zina, for which the prescribed punishment is flogging or stoning. Thousands of women are imprisoned as a result of unsuccessful charges of rape. Some are even stoned to death. On October 27, 2008, Aisha, a 13-year-old girl in Kisayu, Somalia, was stoned to death for adultery; later, her aunt told the British Broadcasting Corporation that Aisha had been raped by three armed men. Rapists are seldom brought to trial, let alone punished.
Miscellaneous crimes: Fornication and adultery: Unmarried fornicators are to be whipped, and adulterers are to be stoned to death. Homosexuality: Homosexuals must be executed. Theft: Any person found stealing is to have a hand cut off. Battery and assault: An injured plaintiff can extract legal revenge; lex talionis (“an eye for an eye”) is in effect.
Should Christians be concerned? Many people in Europe, North America and Australia are unaware of the influence of Sharia Law in Islamic countries and have never considered the possibility of Sharia Law being introduced in their country. In November 2011 the MacDonald-Laurier Institute poll of Canadian Muslims found that 75 percent of respondents want Sharia Law. In December 2012 the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the imam at Australia’s largest mosque had issued a fatwa (legal ruling) against Christmas. In July 2011 Islamic extremists called upon British Muslims to establish three independent states within the U.K. There are also Muslim groups in the United States calling for the implementation of Sharia Law in America.
Christianity and Islam have opposing beliefs. Jesus (Isa) is mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an, but the Jesus of the Qur’an bears no resemblance to the Jesus of the Bible. The Qur’an says Jesus was only a human prophet and was not killed; rather, Allah took him up to heaven (Surah 4:157-158). When Jesus returns, he will be a follower of Muhammad and will kill the Antichrist, break the cross and slay the pigs. Everyone who does not accept Islam will be slain (Hadith 656). After ruling on earth for about 40 years, Jesus will die.
The Bible says Jesus is the eternal Word who was with God and who is God. The Word dwelt with man (John 1). The Bible says Jesus was crucified then resurrected and ascended into heaven – in front of eyewitnesses. When He returns, it will be to judge the world in true righteousness.
Allah tells Muslims to kill anyone who rejects Islam, converts to Christianity, or becomes an atheist. Jesus tells Christians to love Muslims because He wants Muslims to join Christians in heaven. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44). Christians bless those who curse them and do good to those who hate them. This is not the way of Islam.

The Apostle James wrote, “Oppose the devil and he will flee from you.” and the Apostle Peter wrote, “The devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone”
muzzies are representatives and children of the devil, and they ”wish to do the desires of (their) father.”
If they can “devour someone,” they will.

Islam is the daily practice of Islamic Law, Sharia, which is created from the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, the Tafsir, the Tarikh, past Islamic Legal Rulings, etc. Furthermore, Muslim Islamization includes Muslim Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations using Governments, Bureaucracies, Mosques, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Halal Organizations, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, Muslim Non-Profits, etc. to fund, to educate, and to support Islam Law and Muslim Propaganda against all Non-Muslims(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51, 101, 118; 5:3, 48; 8:60, 45:18; 48:29, etc.).
Public Funding is a privilege that should NOT BE granted to organizations that are against the US Constitution or Western Constitutions. Islam and its Organizations including Muslim Schools and Mosques are against the US Constitution due to Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting discrimination, segregation, hatred, rape, violence, and terrorism to make Islamic Law supreme. Islam’s Muslims are murderous, Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah operating as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise under Islamic Law to ultimately conquer the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, with Islamic Law DBA Islam(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).
