Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President’s (that would be President Obama so it can't be blamed on Bush
) 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 justiceâ€.
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 capitalismâ€.
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 governmentâ€
So another one of Obama’s picks has a rather unique concept of what America should be.
On second thought, given the antics and viewpoints of women like Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Moseley-Braun, Snowe, Carolyn McCarthy (to name a few), I can almost agree with the last assertion they make.
