Shariah Law vs. the Constitution
Article VI: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land
Article VI: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land
-
Constitution: Article VI: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall
be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every
State shall be bound thereby”
-
Shariah: “The source of legal rulings for all acts of those who are morally responsible is
Allah.” (a1.1, Umdat al-salik or The Reliance of the Traveller, commonly accepted work of
Shariah jurisprudence); “There is only one law which ought to be followed, and that is the
Sharia.” (Seyed Qutb); “Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the
face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam regardless of the
country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of
its own ideology and program.” (Seyed Abul A’ala Maududi)
First Amendment: Freedom of religion
-
Constitution: First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ”
-
Shariah: "Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take hold of
them and kill them wherever you find them." Quran 4:89 ; "Whoever changed his [Islamic]
religion, then kill him" Sahih al-Bukhari, 9:84:57. In historic and modern Shariah states,
Shariah law enforces dhimmi status (second-class citizen, apartheid-type laws) on non-
Muslims, prohibiting them from observing their religious practices publicly, building or
repairing churches, raising their voices during prayer or ringing church bells; if dhimmi laws
are violated in the Shariah State, penalties are those used for prisoners of war: death, slavery,
release or ransom.(o9.14, o11.0-o11.11, Umdat al-salik).
First Amendment: Freedom of speech
-
Constitution: First Amendment: Congress shall not abridge "the freedom of speech.”
-
Shariah: Speech defaming Islam or Muhammad is considered “blasphemy” and is punishable
by death or imprisonment.
First Amendment: Freedom to dissent
Shariah: Non-Muslims are not to harbor any hostility toward the Islamic state or give
comfort to those who disagree with Islamic government.
Second Amendment: Right to self-defense
Second Amendment: Right to self-defense
-
Constitution: Second Amendment: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed."
-
Shariah: Under historic and modern dhimmi laws, non-Muslims cannot possess swords,
firearms or weapons of any kind.
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Amendments: Right to due process and fair trial
-
Constitution: Fifth Amendment: "no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise
infamous crime... without due process of law." Sixth Amendment: guarantees a "public trial
by an impartial jury." Seventh Amendment: "the right of trial by jury shall be preserved."
-
Shariah: Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari: Muhammad said, "No Muslim should be killed for killing
a Kafir (infidel)." Non-Muslims are prohibited from testifying against Muslims. A woman’s
testimony is equal to half of a man’s.
Eighth Amendment: No cruel and unusual punishment
-
Constitution: Eighth Amendment: "nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
-
Shariah: Under Shariah punishments are barbaric: "Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they
are male or female, as punishment for what they have done – a deterrent from Allah." Quran
5:38; A raped woman is punished:"The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication –
flog each of them with a hundred stripes" (Sura 24:2).
Fourteenth Amendment: Right to equal protection and due process
-
Constitution: Fourteenth Amendment: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. “
-
Shariah: Under dhimmi laws enforced in modern Shariah states, Jews, Christians and other
non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims before the law. Under Shariah law, women, girls,
apostates, homosexuals and “blasphemers” are all denied equality under the law.
