Class assignment for today

Submitted by Jason (United States), Mar 27, 2006 at 08:30

Dr. Ahmad Abdul Aziz Al Haddad, a reknowned Islamic scholar with the Dubai Department of Islamic Affairs an Charitable Works, told Gulf News: " This is none of their [the West's] business... Bush and the West should stay out of personal beliefs. They should not intervene in a purely religious matter of Islamic law [Sharia]."

Given the number of "scholars" in the Islamic world that keep repeating this blasphemous lie, today's assignment is for each and everyone of you, especially our Muslim students, to write the following 1000 times.

"Sharia is NOT Islamic law. It is Arabic tradtion masquerading as Islamic law. Sharia is a violation of the Koran. The practice of Sharia is apostacy and blasphemy."

Tomorrow, after all of you have completed the assignment, we will continue with the discussion.
