Rep. Tom Tancredo Plans to Introduce "Jihad Prevention Act", Advocating Sharia Would be Deportable Offense, Deny Visa to Known Islamists.....

America's "Geert Wilders".....

WASHINGTON, DC – Amid disturbing revelations that the verdicts of Islamic Sharia courts are now legally binding in civil cases in the United Kingdom, U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) moved quickly today to introduce legislation designed to protect the United States from a similar fate.

According to recent news reports, a new network of Sharia courts in a half-dozen major cities in the U.K. have been empowered under British law to adjudicate a wide variety of legal cases ranging from divorces and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.

“This is a case where truth is truly stranger than fiction,” said Tancredo. “Today the British people are learning a hard lesson about the consequences of massive, unrestricted immigration.”

"When you have an immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims, you are also importing their radical ideology – an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of western democracy – such as gender equality, pluralism, and individual liberty,” said Tancredo. “The best way to safeguard America against the importation of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place.”

Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the “Jihad Prevention Act,” would bar the entry of foreign nationals who advocate Sharia law. In addition, the legislation would make the advocacy of Sharia law by radical Muslims already in the United States a deportable offense.

Tancredo pointed to the results of a recent poll conducted by the Centre for Social Cohesion as evidence that the U.S. should act to prevent the situation in Great Britain from replicating itself here in the United States. The poll found that some 40 percent of Muslim students in the United Kingdom support the introduction of Sharia law there, and 33 percent support the imposition of an Islamic Sharia-based government worldwide.

“We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives,” concluded Tancredo. “If you aren’t comfortable with that concept, you aren’t welcome in the United States.”

Tancredo 2012!

[Daddy-O]

YES!!!!!

Friggin' brilliant!

My only criticism is the title of the act is a bit of a misnomer, I believe, and bound to cause trouble. If the law is meant to prevent Sharia from being established in the U.S. the title ought to reflect just that. Perhaps the Sharia Prevention Act might be more palatable.

Sharia and jihad though linked are not equal. One is the cause and the other the effect.

Tancredo the Terrific.

Here's hoping he can force a vote on this bill on the floor of the House. Not a bullsh*t "voice" vote, but a vote where each member of the House has to go on record telling us where they stand. Such a vote will make it so much easier to identify the fifth columnists in our midst.

[Atom&Yves]

Imagine the Swift company having to go through a shari'a court to settle the situation with the somalis. Tancredo/Hunter 2012!! Ban Muslim Immigration TODAY!!

[Jigger]

Love, love, love, love it!

[Mullah Lodabullah]

Atom&Yves, imagine if a sharia court ruling became precedent in civil
& criminal law. Keep this cancer out of the legal system.

[Elric66]

He was my first choice in the primaries

[Peeved Guy]

Tancredo really needs to work on the other planks of his platform. I honestly think that the reason he didn't do well this election is that he is a one-trick pony (albeit an awesome trick, that). When he was debating the other Repubs, if the topic wasn't immigration, he had nothing.

[BT in SA]

Wow. Just Wow. Too bad it'll never go anywhere. Too many fifth columnists already in our midst, I'm afraid. CAIR will be seething over this - along with the rest of those organizations who are trying their damnedest to make "us" realize that muslims really just want to be a part of America. I mean, just look how well they are doing assimilating at Swift and in Target and driving cabs...

[Defender of the West]

McCain should make him the new head of the INS. Undercover operations with hidden cameras should take place in every mosque in the country. Imams preaching hate? Immediately deported. Any of their followers have a problem with that and hold a anti-US protest? Deported as well. Britain should really get on something like this soon. Its sad to watch our parent country wither away.

¨the legislation would make the advocacy of Sharia law by radical Muslims already in the United States a deportable offense"
"advocacy of Sharia "it is not only the extremists who want the sharia, mainly all the Moslems want it or will never say anything against,we must BAN isslam and all muzz immigration forever !
But it'a very GOOD step in the right direction...I pray for that arrives as soon as possible.

[Baraka]

CAIR to sue him in 3...2...1...

[Pierre]

“Jihad Prevention Act,”
I prefer "musslims Prevention Act"....more true !

[Jigger]

He should be cloned and sent to the UK to clean up the mess they have made.

drooling uncontrollably......

[Merrimac]

All members of, and staff at, CAIR, get first seats on the first plane out:

Ihsan Bagby, CAIR: "Ultimately, we Moslems can never be full citizens of this country because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country."

Ibraham Cooper, CAIR: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the US to be Islamic sometime in the future."

Omar Ahmad, CAIR: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Moslem book of scriptures, should be the highest authority in America and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."

Sharia, with its inherent inequalities, as promulgated and mandated for in the Koran, and supported through the ahadith and Sira, is antithetical to the Constitution of the US. Sharia is not only a system of jurisprudence; it is the islamic world order, every aspect of a Moslem (and non-Moslems' lives as dhimmis) is defined by it. It is degrading, violent, intolerant and seditious. Moslems, by definition, are meant to "submit to the will of 'allah'" (which is what "islam" means in Arabic) and live only under its rule; therefore, all Moslems must be presumed to be in favor of Sharia. I'm not interested in those Moslems who say they, too, don't want Sharia: if you have a tenet in your 'faith' --- taqiyya --- which encourages you to lie about Islam to the non-Moslems, then be prepared to take the consequences of people not wishing to live under the slavery of Islam: a one-way ticket out of America or no entry in.

[Pierre]

Merrimac ,Well say....exactly what I thought by writing my comment.

[Shayne]

I agree with Baraka - CAIR will spend millions of dollars to attempt to destroy Tancredo over this.

On the other hand, I think he can more than handle it.

[Xen]

I'm curious on who has dubbed this the "Jihad Prevention Act"... think I would have named it the "Constitutional Protection Act".. or something along the line. I'm almost suspect libs are behind the "jihad" name... just to kill it faster. Course.. libs would reject "Constitutional Protection" as well.. if not faster... Just a thought...

Anyone have this same feeling with the "jihad" naming?

[Elric66]

I think if its Tancredo's bill, he named it. Either name is fine with me for it fits.

[JDAM]

Xen,

He's behind it. I do agree though, the name ensures it will never get passed. (not that it had much of a chance anyway)

"“We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives,” concluded Tancredo. “If you aren’t comfortable with that concept, you aren’t welcome in the United States.”

65 Democrat politicians just fainted...

[USorThem]

While I have serious doubts about whether this bill will ever see the light of day, KUDOS to Tom Tencredo for introducing this bill. Just the act of introducing the bill raises awareness and instigates discussion on this topic.

Now let's hear from CAIR on why Sharia is so great and why there should be no impediments in allowing Sharia to be implemented. By introducing this bill, muslims and their apologists are forced to try to defend sharia law. Good luck with that Ibby Hooper. Americans will have little tolerance towards any overt attempts by Muslims to impose Sharia. More bills like this are needed to put Muslims on the defensive, and to try and defend the indefensible.

[Muslims Against Sharia]

Muslims Against Sharia praise Congressman Tancredo's initiative. We advocated similar measures in the past and fully support "Gihad Prevention Act"

"Any person from a country where a substantial part of the population is pro-Sharia should not be allowed in the West, not only as an immigrant, but even as a visitor with a few exceptions, i.e., political asylum or as a diplomat etc. ... Every legal immigrant should be allowed to stay only if he/she did not display desire to establish a Sharia state in a host country. Any naturalized citizen who displays a desire to establish a Sharia state in a host country should have his/her citizenship revoked and promptly deported. I think the latter two groups is where the real danger lies." Linda Ahmed, FrontPage Magazine, July 24, 2008

"Anyone who proclaims Islamic extremist views should be tried for sedition, since we are at war with radical Islam, or at the very least, promptly deported." Khalim Massoud, FrontPage Magazine, September 9, 2008

As well as no Sharia, there should be no mosques. This linked article explains why, showing that, historically, the mosque functions as the political, military, social, judicial, as well as religious, center of Islam as an ideology. It's based on a book, The Mosque Exposed, by a former imam and convert to Christianity and also explains how Jihad must be conducted through colonization (falsely termed 'immigration') by the majority of the Moslem community along with the terrorism of the community's 'warriors.'
