SHARIA RISING

HUTTON HOTEL CANCELS CONFERENCE ON SHARIA- The Hutton Hotel in Nashville, TN has cancelled the Preserving Freedom Conference scheduled for 11/11/11. Amerimar Investments at first said they had received “threats,” but later claimed that two of our speakers “incited” people to violence. Any criticism of Islam is forbidden under Sharia law. Not even non-Muslims may be critical of any aspect of Sharia. The Hutton Hotel can now be said to be Sharia compliant in this regard. Read more

LIBERTY COUNSEL JOINS FIGHT IN NASHVILLE- The founder and president of Liberty Counsel, Mat Staver, was one of the slated speakers at the Preserving Freedom Conference in Nashville. As chief counsel for Liberty Counsel, he has argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court. Staver has now issued a letter to the Hutton Hotel and its owners demanding that they honor their contract and allow the conference to continue. Read more

THIRD HOTEL MAY CANCEL? – A Hyatt Hotel in Sugarland, TX cancelled an anti-Sharia conference at which Pamela Geller was scheduled to speak just one week before Islamists convinced the Hutton Hotel in Nashville to tear up its legally binding contract with the Preserving Freedom Conference. Now a hotel in Maryland is being pushed to cancel an annual event held there by a conservative group because one of the scheduled conference panels deals with Sharia. Read more

SHARIA USE IN US COURTS – A Florida appeals court ruled that Judge Richard Nielsen could use Islamic law to decide a key issue in a lawsuit involving a local mosque. The judge had found earlier that the mosque had violated Sharia law by expelling trustees. The mosque supports the use of Sharia law except in this case when it lost. Read more
RELIGION AND CULTURE
U.S. MUSLIMS DEMAND CATHOLIC SCHOOL REMOVE CRUCIFIX – How demanding have Muslims become? They are now insisting that a Catholic University remove crucifixes from the walls of classrooms so they are not offended. A left-wing nutty professor at Catholic University of America filed the complaint with the Washington D.C. Office of Human Rights which is now actively investigating. Apparently they find some merit in a complaint that a Catholic school is somehow violating “human rights” by displaying Catholic symbols,

INTERNATIONAL
THE LEFT IGNORES HUMAN RIGHTS – The left’s worst crime in the Middle East has been its support for the region’s Arab-Muslim majority at the expense of minorities. Leftists have supported the majority’s terrorism, atrocities, ethnic cleansing and repression of the region’s minorities. Very rarely have they raised their voices in support of endangered minorities, and when they have done so, it was in muted tones completely different from their vigorous defenses of the nationalism of the Arab Muslim majority.

THE ARAB SPRING HAS SPRUNG – The first nation to “revolt” in the so-called Arab Spring was Tunisia and the first election results are in. An Islamist party has won over 40% of the vote and will form the new government. Before the “Arab Spring,” Tunisia was the “model” secular nation in the Arab world. Just prior to the election the new leaders in Tunisia had announced that any new constitution would follow Sharia law. Read more

ISLAM AT ITS BEST – Muslim pirates kidnapped a very ill French woman and refused her medication, causing her death. Now the Muslims are holding her body for ransom. “The hostage-takers are even trying to sell the remains, it could not be more despicable,” said French Defence Minister Gerard Longuet. “Seizing a woman of this age, who is sick and paralysed, and not giving her her medication, allowing her to develop septicaemia from which she apparently died, and then proposing to sell her remains! These are not people who deserve anything but contempt,” Longuet said. Read more
