Talk Show Hosts and Sharia Law

If you want to hear hate speech about Moslems 24-7, listen to Philadelphia's WPHT or WNTP, a Fox affiliate. Medved follows Goebbels' maxim: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people begin to believe it." And the gang at WPHT follows their 'planned' talking points to the letter. Callers should not make any thoughtful comments or they will never get on again. You'll hear, "Sorry, Jean, we're changing the subject!" That's why I had to write a book and that's why I blog, hoping that just one person will tell another, and then another., Imagine, I was married to a Moslem and I'm not allowed to speak. Sharia Law is probably the one predominant word heard as much as Muslim Brotherhood. The fact that we have been bombing Iraq since George H.W. Bush's Gulf War, through the Clinton years and finally, George W's years, is never discussed. April Glaspie, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, tricked Saddam Hussein into sending troops into Kuwait, telling him that the U.S. had no interest in Arab-Arab conflicts. Then George Bush, Sr. bombed Iraq, even though Kuwait was part of Iraq during the Ottoman Empire. I suppose that that's why Bush, Sr. received the "Freedom" award recently. Sharia or "pathways" (literal translation) represents just one of the dominant schools of Islamic law and is viewed as divine. Like the West, Sharia shares the presumption of innocence. Judges discourage lawyers since the judges prefer to deal directly with defendants. "Sharia law is being co-opted into a more western-based approach." The media represents Islamic punishment as drastic (e.g., amputations, beheading, stoning, caning). Actually, when you travel through Islamic countries, you won't see any hands amputated for stealing - the threat was enough. We hear a lot about stoning women, but so far no one has photographed such an undertaking for promiscuous women - unless we set it up! When the U.S. points fingers, we should think about our shelters for abused women or the sex trafficking of 25,000 women below 20 years old, down to 2 years old. The Mexican drug cartels are now shooting our border guards. They're not about to give up the 40-70 billion dollars a year they make from killing our children. Probably you don't see Moslem gangs, pimps, and drug dealers - victims of promiscuous women who are supported by us when there are no fathers around. I like the Moslem idea of hanging drug traffickers. The U.S. has no right to point fingers!
