Center for Security Policy’s 10 part course.

As some of you may have seen, today marked the launch of what must have been a herculean task for the staff at Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy.

A course was launched that probably should be mandatory watching for all American school kids from grade 10 and up but will probably be made illegal in this day of crossed Leftist-Islamic totalitarianism that has infected the Western world today.

Asking people to watch the course is asking for between 9 and 12 hours of people’s time. That is quite a bit even for readers of a site like this where the importance of this material is well understood. However I still feel that it is worth the asking from what I have seen of the course so far.

My plan is to try and watch one a day as I post it. I have posted part I already and it contains a lot of valuable information as well as is formatted well for clear understanding and reference.

Below is a sort of explanation of the course itself which is only about 10 minutes. It is well done, but the course is the main thing. This won’t give you the hard facts the way the course does. But hopefully it will whet the appetite.

Andy McCarthy: Saluting Ray Kelly & the NYPD’s Defense of New York

         Uploaded by on Feb 29, 2012

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy joins the Center for Security Policy in saluting NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly at the 2012 Mightier Pen Award in New York City. Commissioner Kelly has kept New York City safe from jihadist terror attacks for decades, beginning with his investigation of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (the perpetrators of which McCarthy later prosecuted).

Sharia Law in American Courts

Here is a PDF file compiled by the Center For Security Policy in DC dealing with how sharia has been handled by various US courts. Please download it here and, if you feel it is as important as CFSP does, spread it widely.

Below, a description from their webpage:

The Center for Security Policy’s report, Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases evaluates 50 Appellate Court cases from 23 states that involve conflicts between Shariah (Islamic law) and American state law.

These cases are the stories of Muslim American families, mostly Muslim women and children, who were asking American courts to preserve their rights to equal protection and due process.  These families came to America for freedom from the discriminatory and cruel laws of Shariah.  When our courts then apply Shariah law in the lives of these families, and deny them equal protection, they are betraying the principles on which America was founded.

The study’s findings suggest that Shariah law has entered into state court decisions, in conflict with the Constitution and state public policy. Some commentators have said there are no more than one or two cases of Shariah law in U.S. state court cases; yet we found 50 significant cases just from the small sample of appellate published cases.

Others have asserted with certainty that state court judges will always reject any foreign law, including Shariah law, when it conflicts with the Constitution or state public policy; yet we found 15 Trial Court cases, and 12 Appellate Court cases, where Shariah was found to be applicable in these particular cases. The facts are the facts: some judges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with Constitutional protections.

Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases includes summaries of several cases in which the court’s application of Shariah law appears to be in direct conflict with Constitutional liberties and the public policies of the state.
