Obama Lauded for MultiNationalism While his Muslim Advisor Pushes Sharia Law

     Barack Obama is enjoying the face time as a result of his Nobel Peace Prize awrad announcement today. The Nobel Peace Committee acknowledge his lack of accomplishments, but want to support his attempts to bring the U.S. into  line with the multinational concepts. Ironically, one of his advisors has spent the week pushing the “upside” of sharia law, and how the U.S. should be open to it:

Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was “oversimplified” and the majority of women around the world associate it with “gender justice”.

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party.

The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world.

Miss Mogahed appeared alongside Hizb ut Tahrir’s national women’s officer, Nazreen Nawaz.

During the 45-minute discussion, on the Islam Channel programme Muslimah Dilemma earlier this week, the two members of the group made repeated attacks on secular “man-made law” and the West’s “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism”.

They called for Sharia Law to be “the source of legislation” and said that women should not be “permitted to hold a position of leadership in government”.

“There is a reason sharia has got a bad name and it is how it has been exercised. Regrettably in the US there have been acts of injustice perpetrated against women that are driven by the Sharia-type mindset that women are objects not human beings,” she said.

She cited the example of Muzzammil Hassan, a Buffalo man who ran a cable channel aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes and was charged earlier this year with beheading his wife after she filed for divorce.

“Americans understand by example, it’s not as if we are an ignorant mass of people. Just as we don’t broad brush all Muslims, so should Dalia not downplay the serious nature of sharia law.”

Barack Obama: Citizen of the World and 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate

      For the President of the United States to be honored by the Nobel Committee is an extreme honor, for the President and the Country.

     This morning, to a room of gasps in Norway, it was announced that Barack Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate. Where  the prior recipients were honored for their accomplishments on the world arena for peace, the head of the Committee has said that Obama is being honored for his initiative toward multinational relations. Because his award is based on expectations, it raises the bar for his efforts on the global stage. It was also pointed out that Barack Obama was one of approximately 200 nominees, and he was nominated just 2 weeks after his inauguration. Time will tell if that diminishes the stature of the prize in the long run.

     The fact that Obama is being honored pre-accomplishment was not lost on even the Obama fawning media. CNN has highlighted the fact that the Peace Prize has been awarded to our recent recipients on apartisan basis (Carter, Gore). To the opposite, Ronald Reagan, who ended the Cold War and brought about the falling of the Berlin Wall, has not received the same honor.

      For the Obama team, the bar has been raised, the expectations so much higher, and as the last 9 months have indicated, speeches will not bring about the “Hope and Change” he promised.
