Islamists are seeking to spread Shariah law by pushing financial institutions to establish Shariah Compliant Funds for investment.

These funds follow the prescriptions of Shariah law in their investments and collect 2.5 percent of the principal that they donate somewhere, PLUS  they fine recipients of their investment 7 percent for transgressions of Shariah law.

Whoa!  Do you want to be subject to this barbaric law? Forget that for a minute — what about separation of religion and state? Does it not apply to all religions – or only to Christians?  Speak out!  Demand of your senator NOT to confirm Kagan!

Most major banks in the U.S. and Europe have established Shariah Compliant Funds, and they had almost $1 trillion under management by 2007 — and likely more today.

At Harvard, Elena Kagan "proceeded to forge the law schools' 'Islamic Finance Project.' " Its purpose, according to McCarthy, was "to promote Shariah compliance in the U.S. financial sector."

Indeed, when Harvard's president, Larry Summers — now in the Obama administration — accepted a $20 million donation for the creation of a program of studies of Islam's history and Shariah law, Kagan raised no objection. The donation came from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a billionaire investor whose contribution of $10 million to the Twin Towers fund was refused by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani because bin Talal had blamed the 9/11 attack on American foreign policy.

Harvard Law School now has three Saudi-funded institutions devoted to the study of Shariah.

Kagan, as a Supreme Court justice, will be required to rule frequently on possible applications of Shariah law in the United States. She has already noted that she welcomes "good ideas wherever they originate" and is open to applications of foreign law to the interpretation of U.S. statutes and common law.

In fact, a lawsuit seeking to ban Shariah Compliance Funds in banks that accepted TARP money (as violating the First Amendment separation of church and state) is now making its way up to the Supreme Court. Kagan cannot be trusted to rule dispassionately on this case, nor can we rely on her to exclude Shariah law from American jurisprudence.

For this reason — if for no other — senators should vote no on her confirmation.

Now here is the problem. Inviting and then breeding our own murdering enemies within our borders. Whose bright idea was it to approve this stupidity?

If you want safety, move your enemies as far from you as you can.

Common Sense.

This Saudi-funded academy teaches strict adherence to traditional Islamic law. Now there is an ally we can count on!  *cough*cough

Now they will be expanding its Virginia campus — a decision by local officials that infuriates opponents who say the school’s teachings are anti-American.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted 6-4 Monday to grant a zoning exemption to the Islamic Saudi Academy. The officials said the outcome was based strictly on zoning issues, not on what goes on in the school’s classrooms.

Well, gee, dontcha think you should look into what the hell they are teaching?
