The Campaign To Ban Islamic Law
By: Sardar Anees Ahmad

Contrary to David Yerushalmi’s claims, America has nothing to fear from Shariah.

Islam requires that people must voluntarily abide by Shariah in order for it to be applied.

The example of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA — the oldest and longest established Islamic-American organization — is telling. When its missionary, Muhammad Sadiq, arrived in New York in 1920, he declared that he would not preach polygamy because American law deemed polygamy illegal and that obeying the rule of law was itself a policy of Shariah.

Concocting stories regarding Shariah — now that is something to be feared.
