I hope you will sign Liberty Counsel's petition to stop the
imposition of Shariah Law in our courts.
On this Veterans' Day 2011, a major conference is taking
place in Nashville on the impact of Shariah Law on the U.S.
Constitution. As you know, this conference has come under
great resistance because this issue is vital to the very
future of our nation.
In just over a day, more than 16,000 citizens have signed
our petition opposing Shariah law! I want to support
this conference by demonstrating that thousands of
citizens are taking a stand against the move to force
our courts to accept Shariah law.
Please see below and take a moment right now to sign our
petition opposing the imposition of Shariah law in our
courts:

My Personal Encounter with Shariah Law
By Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
Two weeks ago, I found myself directly in the crosshairs of
the growing conflict between Shariah law and our Constitution.
The Oxford Dictionary of Islam defines "Shariah law" as "God's
eternal and immutable will for humanity, as expressed in the
Quran and Muhammad's example (Sunnah), considered binding
for all believers."
In practical terms, "Shariah" also describes a movement under
way in European and American legal systems to overturn
Western civilization through the imposition of Islamic
law and culture. As a constitutional attorney, I can tell
you firsthand that this phenomenon is accelerating at an
alarming rate.
++Hotel cancels conference on Shariah law.
An important conference featuring leading experts on the
Constitution and Shariah law was originally scheduled to
be held at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee,
today. But just days ago, Hutton Hotel banned the
conference and cancelled a perfectly valid contract,
claiming "safety concerns."
Thankfully, the conference quickly found another
venue, but not without great expense and difficulty.
The fact is, private companies and municipalities are facing
more and more pressure to cater to or adopt special rules
for Muslims. In one recent case, Muslim workers claimed
"unfair labor practices" because they were told to clock
out before taking prayer breaks. In another instance,
claims of discrimination were leveled when Muslim women
were told not to wear their head scarves for safety
reasons before going on a roller coaster.
And now in courts of law across this nation, Shariah law
is already being applied in case after case.
++There are actually dozens of "Shariah law" cases in our
courts!
A study by the Center for Security Policy found 50 state
court cases that considered Shariah law. To make matters
worse, these cases referenced differing variations of
Shariah law from 16 countries. The study concluded,
"[J]udges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law
even when those decisions conflict with constitutional
protections."
The Center's study was by no means exhaustive, but instead
was taken from a "small sample of appellate published cases."
That means, in reality, Shariah law could be being applied
in hundreds of other courtrooms across this nation!
++The greatest threat we face from radical Islam.
The truth is, the greatest threat our nation now faces from
radical Islam is not in the form of another 9/11 attack,
but rather in the slow, steady, and systematic implementation
of Shariah law.
It's already happening in Europe where schools are adopting
special rules for Muslim students during Rhamadan. Europe
is so far gone that the Archbishop of Canterbury (the head
of the Church of England) said that the adoption of Shariah
law is "unavoidable" and the idea that "there is one law
for everybody" is now in "a bit of a danger."
++Liberty Counsel's petition opposing Shariah law in our
courts.
When the Hutton Hotel in Nashville banned the conference
on Shariah law, I immediately sent them a strongly worded
Demand Letter objecting to their suppression of free
speech rights.
It was then that I knew we had to do more immediately.
That's why Liberty Counsel is launching a new Citizen
Petition opposing the use of Shariah law in our courts
and culture. I am asking you to be among the early
signers of this petition as, together, we build a
grassroots coalition to stop Shariah law. Go here
to sign:

The petition also supports Liberty Counsel's "Demand
Letter" sent to Hutton Hotel, and their owners at Amerimar
Enterprises in Philadelphia, protesting their anti-free
speech move to ban the conference. Go here to see our
Demand Letter:

Liberty Counsel's legal team will stand at the forefront
of those confronting this growing challenge to our
Constitution and way of life. But right now, I need
your signature on this petition opposing Shariah law
so I can demonstrate to companies, municipalities,
political leaders, and even courts that citizens across
America are taking a stand on this vital issue!
Thank you so much for your prayers, your support, and
your action on behalf of our God-given liberties!
