Supreme Court JusticeElena Kaganis Pro Sharia Law!

Why is it always after the fact, after the elections and after critical appointments that the real vetting of candidates finally takes place? Simple. When you have a clueless, apathetic and disengaged American populace, coupled with a leftist liberal media thats already in the tank for the Messharia, you take the fast track to confirmation and worry about the repercussions later. After all, its a lot easier to select than it is to eject a political appointee. Elena Kagans views render her the first Supreme Court Justice who actively favors the introduction of Sharia law into national Constitutions and legal systems. Its unprecedented in American history. We now have a liberal, pro-Sharia justice sitting on the highest court in the land. And is it any wonder? After all, as Obamas Solicitor General, it was Kagan who blocked as many as nine lawsuits from being heard by the Supreme Court. Although the nine cases listed on the high courts docket had nothing to do with Obamas eligibility issues, there is no arguing Kagans advocacy for Islamic rule and Sharia Law as evidenced below. What do you want to bet that she refuses to recuse herself on any Sharia-related decision and instead leads the charge to legitimize Sharia law in America? Christine Brim of the Center for Security Policy summarized Kagans 2003-2009 career as Dean of Harvard Law School in the following five points. They tell the story of Elena Kagans deep appreciation of Sharia law. 1. PRO-SHARIA MISSION: With Kagans direction, Harvards Islamic Legal Studies Program developed a mission statement dedicated to promote a deep appreciation of Islamic law as one of the worlds major legal systems. That mission statement guided her actions and those whom she directed as Dean. Under Kagans direction, her chief of staff at the Islamic Legal Studies Program aggressively expanded noncritical studies of Sharia law fulfilling her mission to promote a deep appreciation of Islamic law. In 2003, the year Kagan became Harvard Law School Dean, Islamic Legal Studies Program Founding Director Frank Vogel and Associate Director Peri Bearman founded the Massachusetts-based International Society for Islamic Legal Studies. In 2007, Bearman and Vogel founded the Islamic Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools. 2. PRO-SHARIA MONEY: When Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offered $10 million to New York Citys Rudy Guiliani on October 11, 2001, Guiliani refused to accept it, because the prince insisted that U.S. policies in the Middle East were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Guiliani stated, There is no moral equivalent for this act. But, when Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offered $20 million to the Islamic Legal Studies Program in December 2005 Kagan accepted it; after all, the Saudi royal family had funded the program since its inception to establish the moral and legal equivalency between Sharia law and U.S. Constitutional law. As presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, has noted, Harvard Law School currently has three chairs endowed by Saudi Arabia, including one dedicated to the study of Islamic sharia law. In 2001 Guiliani made a decision not to accept Talals blood money. But in 2005, Kagan made a decision not just to accept it, but to implement Talals policies at Harvard. Not only there, but as reported earlier this year, Kagan is the main reason why the Supreme Court ruled against the 9/11 families in a suit filed by thousands of 9/11 family members that traced funding for the 19

hijackers to certain Saudi royals, along with banks, corporations and Islamic charities. Kagan, as Obamas Solicitor General, said in her brief that the princes are immune from petitioners claims and that the families claims that the Saudis helped to finance the plots fell outside the scope of the legal parameters for suing foreign governments or leaders. So Kagan actively solicited Saudi financing to promote Sharia law in the U.S., and she actively protected Saudi financial backers for terrorism against the U.S., as being immune from claims by 9/11 families. 3. PROMOTING THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND SHARIA CONSTITUTIONS: In December, 2006, Kagan hired Noah Feldman, architect of Iraqs Constitution requiring Shariah, as a star faculty member at Harvard Law School. On March 16, 2008, Feldman published his controversial article Why Sharia in the New York Times Magazine, which promoted Islamists the Muslim Brotherhood as a progressive democratic party, and promoted Sharia as a model not just for Muslim-majority countries but for all: In fact, for most of its history, Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world The article was adapted from his book The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State, which was published in late March, 2008. On September 16, 2008, Kagan whole-heartedly endorsed Feldmans promotion of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia Law by honoring him with the endowed Bemis Chair in International Law. Feldmans speech on receiving the award was revealing: he advocated for an international, outward interpretation of the Constitution that could require the U.S. to confer rights on citizens of other nations, and allow for an experimental Constitution. As to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist worldwide political organization that Feldman and Kagan support? Their motto is as revealing as Feldmans speech: Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Quran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Given that slogan, you could well ask if Feldman really meant the Muslim Brotherhood when he wrote about Islamists in the book Kagan so admired that she gave him an endowed chair. And he anticipated that question; in the second footnote in his book he states, Throughout this book, when I refer to Islamists or Islamism, I have in mind mainstream Sunni Muslim activists loosely aligned with the ideology of the transnational Muslim Brotherhood (MB)the Brotherhood broadly embraces electoral politics, but without eschewing the use of violence in some circumstances, notably against those whom it defines as invaders in Iraq and Palestine.

In summary, Kagan made the decision to honor Feldman, author of big-lie forms of proSharia propaganda, supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, with an endowed chair. Feldman states flatly that the Muslim Brotherhood, whom he admires, does not eschew the use of violence against those whom it defines as invaders in Iraq and Palestine. Kagans financial backer, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, insisted that the U.S. policies in the Middle East (specifically in Israel and Palestine) were a cause of the 9/11 attacks. Like the Muslim Brotherhood, the prince did not eschew the use of violence against the U.S. And when 9/11 families sued the Saudi royals who funded the September 11, 2001 use of violence against the U.S., Kagan used her power as Solicitor General to protect the group that had been her financial backers at Harvard.
