Assignment:
1. Should our U.S. courts use Sharia Law? Would that show tolerance to other faiths or does that override the U.S. Constitution? What are your thoughts after exploring the various websites listed?
At the website Links to an external site., the Center for Security Policy has compiled fifty cases in 23 states showing examples of a representative foreign legal system - Islamic Shariah Law - introduced into American courts, in conflict with the Constitution or state public policy in the particular cases.
Be sure to reference at least two websites with information that supports your viewpoints.
2. Is stopping Sharia Law a woman's issue?
According to the website at The Center for Security Policy, "American Laws for American Courts is the primary 21st Century civil rights initiative to ensure constitutional liberties for all Americans," said Center for Security Policy President Frank J. Gaffney Jr. "It is needed especially to protect women and children, who have been identified by international human rights organizations as the primary victims of discriminatory foreign laws."
I am attaching a book on the entire topic by a former terrorist (jihadist). There is one particular chapter on the book (starts on page 20) that is about the topic of Sharia that may be of interest to you. It is not required but if you really want to know the truth from one who knows, check it out. (See attached file at the top of the assignment entitled "Understanding Radical Islam for Sharia Law.pdf)

If you read that chapter, be sure you don't just take the first part when he talks about what the media tries to get people to believe. Read on to his knowledge.
