Co-accused in an alleged plot to derail a Toronto-bound passenger train, the 30-year-old Tunisian national has proclaimed his peculiar “need” at numerous court appearances since his April 22 arrest. Because the Criminal Code is not a “holy book,” he says, he requires a lawyer who will help him be judged by the Qur’an, not “a book written by humans.”

So extreme as to be absurd, Esseghaier’s demand nonetheless puts into stark relief the tension that can exist between religion and the law, one that shows itself with increasing frequency in multicultural societies like Canada.

It's for the sake of carrying out reproductive Jihad, and is well sanctioned by the Islamic creed as taught in Islamic schools around the world.

Reproductive Jihad

Most of us have seen a video, titled "The Demographic Problem". It says that the minimum fertility rate (FR) for a culture, to sustain for coming 25 years, must be 2.11 children per family and a FR less than that, the culture would decline. In a country, where the present FR is 1.3, it would take 80 to 100 years to correct itself. The Table below shows the Fertility Rates of Some countries of Europe in 2007:

How is this any different than Islamic law in, say, Turkey (Obama's favorite and most trusted ally)? In October, 43-year-old Fazil Say went on trial in Turkey for "denigrating" Islam for a series of tweets earlier that year. In one of his messages he had retweeted a verse from a poem by Omar Khayyám, in which the 11th-century Persian poet attacks pious hypocrisy. This is the same thing.

If the DoJ pursued the vicious, offensive, racist, antisemitic tweets directed at me (and others) by Muslims and leftists, they would be pursuing little else. But they wouldn't and they shouldn't.

Note to the Justice Department -- we will fight you on this every step of the way. This is sharia enforcement, and we are not going to stand for it.

As the Syrian civil war continues to tear that country apart, with possible use of chemical weapons (by somebody) reported and certain commission of atrocities on all sides, calls for Western and especially U.S. intervention are mounting.

Some want a “no fly zone” so that Bashar al-Assad’s forces can be prevented from aerial bombardment of his people, civilians and rebels alike. Some want the Obama administration to arm the rebels directly (or at least more directly than it already has been for the last year or more). Some, like U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), want both a no-fly zone and more weapons for the rebels. Sen. Graham has even pushed for the insertion of U.S. ground forces into the Syrian conflict.

The trouble is that most U.S. lawmakers realize there just aren’t a lot of good candidates among the rebels whose victory would actually advance core U.S. national security interests in the region. Where in Syria is there a capable, credible rebel force openly dedicated to anything but Sunni Islam and Islamic Law?

One must wonder if the Islamic practice of female genital mutilation will be performed at this location and if it will subject to the rules and regulations which everyone else in the United States will have to adhere to under Obamacare. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration is pressuring colleges and healthcare facilities operated by the Catholic Church to provide contraception devices and drugs and abortions which violates their religious faith.

A Chicago doctor who owns a lavish Middle Eastern eatery on West Randolph Street wants to open the first outpatient surgery center in Illinois that he says will follow Islamic law.
Dr. Naser Rustom, who opened Alhambra Palace in 2007, has in mind a venture with a much more religious flavor. He proposes to establish a $5.5 million medical facility in southwest suburban Orland Park that would cater to Muslims, including space for prayer and ritual washing and partitions for enhanced patient privacy.
The proposal reflects how more businesses are looking to tap into the growing population of Arab-Americans and Muslims, offering products ranging from home mortgages to meat that satisfy religious standards. This comes at a time of passionate national debate over the religious rights of business owners, sparked by scores of lawsuits filed against the Obama administration over a regulation that requires employer health care plans to cover contraceptives.
