Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a petition to try and save Sakineh Ashtiani from being stoned for adultery in Iran; yet he supports Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the spiritual leader of Masjid Al-Farah mosque and he supports building a mosque near Ground Zero.
The Mayor of New York City must also be a proponent of Sharia Law and its abuse of women around the world, because Iman Feisal believes there is a place in our court system for Sharia Law.
On October 30, 2008, the United Nations condemned the stoning to death of Aisha Duhulowa, a 13-year-old girl who had been gang-raped and then sentenced to death by a Sharia court for fornication (Zina). She was screaming and begging for mercy, but when some family members attempted to intervene, shots were fired by the Islamic militia and a baby was killed.
Local Sharia courts in Bangladesh regularly punish raped minor girls and women by flogging and beating them with shoes. [1] Similar cases of punishing raped women are Mina v. the State, Bibi v. the State and Bahadur v. the State. [2] Sharia courts in Pakistan have punished thousands of raped women by long term imprisonment. [3]
You might think that such horrific barbarity cannot be the real Sharia law; that it is a misapplication of the law by ignorant clergy.
In his published book, "What Is Right with Islam," Feisal Abdul Rauf wrote of his fondness for Sharia Law and his belief that the U.S. can accommodate it.
Imam Feisal and his thoughts on 9/11/2001:
On a 60 Minutes program which aired on 9/30/2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, Imam Feisal said:
"I wouldn't say that the United States deserved what happened," -- "but United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened." Rauf further stated, “Because we [Americans] have been accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world,” it could be said that “[i]n fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.
I really don’t think any of the 2,750 families of the murdered victims of the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001 would agree that their now dead family members were an accessory to a crime.
Mayor Bloomberg are you really considering this in our City, The Capital of the World?
No Mosque at near or around Ground Zero will be accepted.
