SHOULD MUSLIMS MAKE LAW IN NON-MUSLIM COUNTRIES?

(May 14, 2020) — [Editor’s Note: The following is the second installment in a series, with Part 1 here.]
The point must be made that these chapters on Islam are not intended to be critical of all Muslims, though they are highly critical of the ideology of Islam with its multifarious human rights abuses. Since Muslims may be killed for apostatizing (leaving Islam), it stands to reason that Muslims who believe in western freedoms may feel trapped within Islam.
Our initial chapters will endeavor to educate the reader on the hazards of electing Muslim legislators in non-Muslim countries. The failure of citizens of western countries to thoroughly understand this will lead to our demise as free countries. An excellent source of information on this subject is Islamic Doctrine Versus the U.S. Constitution: The Dilemma for Muslim Public Officials by Dr. Stephen Kirby, and a great resource for the truth of Islamic law is the Reliance of the Traveller.
First, Muslims are obligated to place sharia (Islamic law) above all manmade law so, when sharia conflicts with our Constitution, Muslim legislators will not choose the Constitution.
Second, Muslims are obligated to deceive non-Muslims whenever deception will help to reach an obligatory goal such as spreading Islam. Given the innumerable human rights abuses which are legal in Islam – death for apostasy, beating of wives, killing of gays, and so much more – honesty would almost never win converts. Imagine the damage done by this level of deception at work in our governmental bodies at all levels, from the local to the state and federal governments! Naturally, there are Muslims in the west who are here to escape sharia, not to spread it; given, though, that such a stance is entirely un-Islamic and would by viewed by Muslims as apostasy, how long would that legislator remain alive?
Our next chapter will discuss the problems presented by the First Amendment.
