The Weekly Sam: Marva Collins and Sam Blumenfeld and the movie “Marva Collins’ Way”

Published April 7, 2026 | By Hal Shurtleff

Sam Blumenfeld and Marva Collins were friends. Below is a letter Marva sent to Sam back in 1983. Sam visited Marva’s school where she used intensive phonics to teach her students to read

This is Sam’s review of Marva’s book which is based on the movie:Book Review of Marva Collins Way by Sam Blumenfeld
(This is a review from Sam’s June 1987 newsletter titled “Eugenics and the Making of a Black Underclass.”) http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/1987/BEL%2002-06%20198706.pdf
Marva Collins is the black educator who spent 16 years teaching in the Chicago public school system before deciding that she had had enough. “The longer I taught in the public school system, the more I came to think that schools were concerned with everything but teaching,” she says. In September 1975 Marva began a private school of her own with four students and one classroom.

Today,. her Westside Preparatory School is considered the nation’s most successful private alternative in a black community. Its success has been widely acclaimed by the media but not by the public educators of Chicago who continue to do what they do best: miseducate. I have known Marva for many years through my association with the Reading Reform Foundation. She has been one of America’s strongest and most vocal advocates of intensive phonics in the teaching of reading. Because of this she is not very popular among reading instruction professionals and specialists who use look-say basal programs.

Marva Collins’ Way is an important book for anyone who wants to understand what one woman is doing to pull black children out of the underclass. Mrs. Collins writes: “I prepared my children for Iife.” And I bluntly told them to face that fact that no one was going to hire them for a job if they walked into an office wearing picks in their hair, if they slinked into a room as though their hips were broken, or if the boys wore earrings or high-heeled shoes or wide-brimmed hats. I teach them to become universal citizens of the world. encourage people,
She writes “I did not teach black history as a subject apart from American history, emphasize black heroes over white, or preach black consciousness rather than a sense of the larger society. My refusal to do so was a sore spot between me and some members of the black community. “I’d say to my students, ‘Is there anyone in here who doesn’t know he’s black?’ And the children would shake their heads and laugh. Then I’d ask, ‘Is there any black child in here who plans on turning white?’ Again there would be laughter. ‘In that case let’s get on with the business of learning,’ I’m opposed to teaching black English because it separates black children from the rest of society; it also implies they are too inferior to learn standard language usage.” I was convinced black English was another barrier confining my students to the ghetto, “Instead of teaching black pride I taught my children self-pride.
All I wanted was for them to accept themselves. I pointed out that in many ways the ghetto is a state of mind. If you have a positive attitude about yourself, then no one can put you down for who you are or where you live.” This book will also teach you more about education then you’ll ever learn in a teachers college. It goes against everything John Dewey, Cattell, Thorn dike, Gates, Judd, Gray, and the others stood for. It’s what every teacher and student teacher in America should read. But let’ s face it. How many teachers actually read anymore books for pleasure.

Lamb of God sacrificed on Passover; In tomb on Feast of Unleavened Bread; Resurrected on Feast of First Fruits – American Minute with Bill Federer

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, around a third of the Earth’s population, and since Easter is the most important day to Christians, this day could possibly be considered the most important day in the world!

The word “Easter” appears only once in the King James Bible, Acts 12:4. In every other place and in every other Bible translation the word used is “Passover.”

President Ronald Reagan stated April 2, 1983:

“This week Jewish families … have been celebrating Passover … Its observance reminds all of … the battle against oppression waged by the Jews since ancient times …

And Christians have been commemorating the last momentous days leading to the crucifixion of Jesus 1,950 years ago. Tomorrow, as morning spreads around the planet, we’ll celebrate the triumph of life over death, the Resurrection of Jesus.”

BELIEVE – An Inspiring Devotional of Scriptures & Quotations

Passover is the first of the seven major Feasts of Lord, as given to Israel in Leviticus 25. The feasts are in three groups:

In the Spring are the Feast of Passover; the Feast of Unleavened Bread; and the Feast of First Fruits.

Fifty days later is the Feast of Pentecost at the beginning of the harvest. “Pentecost” means 50th.

At the end of the summer harvest are celebrated the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Let us examine these feasts.

Passover was first observed around 1,400 BC, the night before the exodus from Egypt.

Egyptians had enslaved the Israelites. The Pharaoh had ordered their infant boys thrown into the Nile River.

In response, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt as judgments.

Similar to the Egyptian Pharaoh’s command to kill Hebrew infants, God’s final plague on Egypt was the angel of death sent to kill the firstborn of the Egyptians.

On the 14th day of the Hebrew month Nisan, each Israelite family was to kill a lamb and put its blood over the doorposts of their house so that the judgment of the angel of death would “pass over” their home, indicating their faith that the sacrificed lamb had taken the judgment in their place.

Exodus 12:8 gave instructions regarding the Passover lamb:

“And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.”

A Hebrew day began at sunset and lasted until the next sunset.

In 33 AD, Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples in the evening and then in the morning he was crucified — on the day of Passover.

The Apostle Paul wrote in First Corinthians 5:7:

“For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.”

The lamb is considered the most innocent of animals. John the Baptist saw Jesus and exclaimed:

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!” John 1:29.

Justin Martyr, who live c.100 to 165 AD, described:

“That lamb … was commanded to be wholly roasted … a symbol of the suffering of the cross which Christ would undergo. For the lamb … is roasted and dressed up in the form of the cross. For one spit is transfixed right through from the lower parts up to the head, and one across the back, to which are attached the legs of the lamb.”

Crucifixion was designed to stretch out the agony of death as long as possible. It was the most painful of Roman tortures, reserved for slaves and rebels.

Dr. Alexander Metherell, M.D., Ph.D. wrote:

“The pain was absolutely unbearable … In fact, it was literally beyond words to describe; they had to invent a new word: ‘excruciating.’ Literally, excruciating means ‘out of the cross.’”

Cicero called crucifixion, “the most cruel and hideous of tortures.”

Historian Will Durant wrote that “even the Romans … pitied the victims.”

Isaiah chapter 53 prophetically foretold the Messiah’s suffering:

“Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed …

The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent …

He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished …

Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer …

The Lord makes his life an offering for sin …

My righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities …

For he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Jordan Peterson described on the Joe Rogan Experience (episode #1769, 1/25/22):

“The imagery of the crucifix and the story that surrounds it … You cannot write a more tragic story. Its impossible. Technically. Why? … Because it is the story of the aggregation of everything that people are afraid of.

There was no death more painful than crucifixion. That’s why the Romans invented it. It was to punish political miscreants.

It was a slow agonizing death by suffocation, essentially, and dehydration and exposure. Extraordinarily painful … That’s pain, man!

Plus you know it is coming. That is part of the story. Plus your best friend betrayed you into it. Plus your people turned against you. Plus you’re led by a tyrant who doubts truth. Plus you are a victim of the Roman Empire.

Plus you are completely innocent. Plus everybody knows it. Plus they choose a criminal to be released from this experience even though they know he’s a criminal and they know you are innocent.”

The next Jewish Feast after Passover was the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Mark 14:1:

“After two days was the feast of passover, and of unleavened bread.”

“Leaven” is another name for “yeast.” On this feast, Jews would get all the leaven or yeast out of their homes.

Leaven is symbolic of sinfulness.

Matthew 16:6:

“Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees …

Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

On the exact Feast of Unleavened Bread, when Jews were getting the leaven out of their homes, Jesus was in the tomb – He “who taketh away the sins of the world.”

Paul wrote in I Corinthians 5:6–8:

“Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven …

Let us keep the Feast, not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Theologians have debated what Jesus may have experienced when He suffered. In Matthew 12, Jesus replied to those demanding a sign:

“None will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”

The Book of Jonah recorded:

“Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly … out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight … the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever.”

Next is the Feast of First Fruits marking the earliest harvest of the spring, the winter barley, which is the first grain to ripen in Israel’s growing season.

As soon as it appeared above ground it was harvested and brought to the temple.

Leviticus 23:9-14:

“When you enter the land … and reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest …

The priest … shall wave the sheaf before the Lord.”

Jesus rose from the dead on exact day of the Feast of First Fruits.

Paul wrote in I Corinthians 15:20–23:

“But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept …

But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”

Jonah declared:

“Thou hast brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer went up to You, into Your holy temple …

Salvation is of the Lord.’ So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.”

The fact that the Gospels have women being the first to testify of Christ’s resurrection is evidence that the disciples did not make up the story, as women were not accepted as witnesses at that time.

Josephus included in the Antiquities of the Jews this first century legal policy:

“Let not the testimony of women be admitted.”

Anyone wanting to fabricate a story would certainly have had made it up with the most reputable men being the first witnesses, not uneducated fishermen and women.

The fact that the Gospels record Jesus first appearing to women is evidence that the resurrection account was not a made up story.

Sir Lionel Luckhoo (1914-1997) was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as world’s most successful criminal attorney. He wrote:

“The bones of Muhammad are in Medina, the bones of Confucius are in Shantung, the cremated bones of Buddha are in Nepal. Thousands pay pilgrimages to worship at their tombs which contain their bones. …

But in Jerusalem there is a cave cut into the rock. This is the tomb of Jesus. IT IS EMPTY! YES, EMPTY! BECAUSE HE IS RISEN!

He died, physically and historically. He arose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of God.”

President Donald J. Trump posted Truth Social @TrumpDailyPosts, 04/13/25 08:53 PM:

“This Holy Week, Christians around the World remember the Crucifixion of God’s Only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and, on Easter Sunday, we celebrate His Glorious Resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly 2,000 years, ‘HE IS RISEN!’

Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, we saw God’s boundless Love and Devotion to all Humanity and, in that moment of His Resurrection, History was forever changed with the Promise of Everlasting Life.”

In closing, one last question needs to be answered. Why did the Lamb have to die?

To answer that, we must ask:

Why did God make us?

Out of everything God created, we are the only ones made in His image with a free will ability to love God back.

Secondly, God has to hide himself behind His creation for us to have a free will, because if He ever revealed Himself in all of overwhelming, omnipotent, universe creating power, your response would be involuntary. And for love to be love it must be voluntary!

Thirdly, God is just and therefore must judge every sin. If He does not judge a sin, His silence would be giving consent to sin.

Numbers 30 explains silence equals consent. This is seen in a wedding ceremony, where the minister asks if anyone objects they should speak now or forever hold their peace. By staying silent, those in attendance are giving their consent. In law, this is called “the rule of tacit admission.”

If God is silent and does not judge a sin, even the smallest, His silence would effectively be giving consent to the sin. And if God gives consent to one sin one time, He denies His just nature, He denies Himself. And 2 Timothy 2:13 declares “God cannot deny Himself.”

So He has to judge every sin.

In mathematical equations, there are constants and variables.

In the equation of redemption, the constant is God is just, forever was, is, and forever will be just. That will never change.

The variable is who takes the judgment – you or a substitute.

The Lamb is our substitute. The Lamb is God’s way to love you without having to judge you.

Charles Wesley wrote the hymn: “Amazing love! how can it be, That Thou, my God, should die for me!”

God is just in that He judges every sin, but God is love in that He provided the Lamb to take the judgment for our sins.

“For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son.” John 3:16.

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45.

The sacrifice of the Lamb was foreshadowed by the coats of skins God made for Adam and Eve.

It was foreshadowed by the sacrifices made by Abel, Noah, and Abraham.

In Genesis 22:7-8:

“Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, ‘Father?’ ‘Yes, my son?’ Abraham replied. ‘The fire and wood are here,’ Isaac said, ‘but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’ And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for burnt offering.”

It was foreshadowed in the Law of Moses with the Passover lamb, and on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest brought the blood of lamb into Holy of Holies and sprinkled it on the mercy seat. The blood changed it from a “judgment” seat into a “mercy seat.”

It was foreshadowed by the sacrifices of David, Solomon, and Elijah.

Finally, John the Baptist pointed at Jesus and declared:

“Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.”

Believers in the Old Testament had faith in the Lamb to come; believers in the New Testament have faith in the Lamb that came, but salvation is through the Lamb.

The Lamb of God took the judgment for all of your sins.

Another question is, how was Jesus’ sacrifice enough to pay for the sins of all mankind?

Jesus is divine and experienced judgment in a dimension we will never understand.

2 Peter 3:8 says:

“A day with the Lord is as a thousand years.” Jesus experienced the day on the cross as if it were a thousand years.

In God’s perfect justice:

the eternal Being, Jesus, who is innocent suffering for a finite–limited period of time

is equal to

all of us finite–limited beings who are guilty suffering for an eternal period of time.

Infinity times finite equals finite times infinity.

An unlimited Being suffering for a limited period of time equals all of us limited beings suffering for an unlimited period of time.

Jesus suffered the equivalent of eternal judgement in all or our places, and He is THE ONLY ONE who could have done it!

Jesus, out of love for the Father and love for you and me became the Lamb, “endured the cross,” and took the wrath of a just God upon Himself on the cross in our place.

And then He rose from the dead to prove He was who He said He was.

The Lamb is God’s way to love you without having to judge you!

When someone believes the Gospel – that Jesus suffered in their place, that their sins have been taken away, and that they are accepted by God – they are filled with joy and gratefulness.

You experience the unconditional love of God which brings a change from the inside–out, a polarity change in the heart.

Instead of avoiding God, you are drawn to Him through Jesus the Son.

John 14:6:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Then, you are filled with Holy Spirit, who brings about a change in your behavior, drawing you to share the unconditional love of God with a lost and hurting world.

Gloucester, 400 Years In A simple request — and what people would only say in private by Alexander J Destino

Published March 28, 2026 | By campconstitution

Gloucester, 400 Years In

A simple request — and what people would only say in private

Gloucester marked its 400th anniversary in 2023.

Very few places make it four hundred years and still know who they are. The city put real resources behind it — $100,000 in taxpayer money, events across town, banners, ceremonies. The committee highlighted people who shaped this place: Roger Babson, Captain Ben Pine, Howard Blackburn. Names that still mean something here.

But I kept noticing something else.

For years, the city had made its priorities clear at City Hall. Pride month meant a full thirty days of flags. Rainbow crosswalks painted into the streets. A month-long public celebration that the city embraced without hesitation. That was the standard they had set for what the city was willing to say publicly.

So during the 400th anniversary — a year meant to honor four centuries of this city’s history — I made a request.

Raise the Christian flag during Holy Week. One week. It wasn’t a political statement. It was a recognition. The Christian community built this city — its neighborhoods, its institutions, its character. That contribution spans four hundred years and it is enormous. If there was ever a moment to honor it publicly, the 400th anniversary was that moment.

This shouldn’t have been a difficult request. The Massachusetts Constitution — the oldest functioning written constitution in the world, drafted by John Adams in 1780 — opens by acknowledging “the goodness of the great Legislator of the universe.” It states that it is “the right as well as the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the Supreme Being.” Christian language. Biblical language. Written into the founding document of this commonwealth before the United States Constitution existed.

And the city of Gloucester could not find one hour on Good Friday.

The city said no.

I reduced the request. One day — Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian calendar. The answer was still no. I reduced it again. One hour, on Good Friday, at City Hall. No again. Three denials for one hour on the most sacred day of the Christian year.

In a city that marks pride month publicly and without hesitation, they could not find one hour on Good Friday.

So I took legal action.

The legal ground was solid. In Shurtleff v. City of Boston, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously — 9–0 — that Boston had violated free speech rights by denying a request to raise a Christian flag over City Hall.

Boston had approved over 280 flag ceremonies and never rejected a single request — until a Christian flag came along. The Court was clear: a city cannot open its flagpole to some viewpoints and close it to others. That is a First Amendment violation. Free speech doesn’t stop working when the subject is faith.

Gloucester knew this. And still they said no.

A city cannot open its flagpole to some viewpoints and close it to others. That is a First Amendment issue. Free speech does not stop at matters of faith.

What happened next was telling. After my second request, the city created a formal flag policy where none had existed before, and then used that new policy to deny the request a third time. A policy appeared only when it was needed.

When the story became public, the response came quickly. Texts, emails, calls, messages — from people I’ve known my whole life and people I had never met. The reaction was consistent. They agreed. They thought the request was reasonable. They were surprised it had been denied.

A couple of city councilors reached out to me. To thank me for making the request. They agreed with me — they thought the denial was wrong and the request was right. So did city employees — people who work for the city of Gloucester itself.

And then not one of them said a word publicly.

They were afraid. Afraid of backlash. Afraid of being on the wrong side of something. Elected officials, city employees — people who knew what was right — went silent.

It wasn’t just elected officials. I reached out to members of the local clergy — churches that have been here for generations, churches that call themselves Christian. I assumed they would want to stand together if the flag were raised on Good Friday. I heard nothing back. That told me something.

That is when it stopped being about a flag. It became a question about where we are and where we are going. Not just as a city, but as a community.

The people who built Gloucester did not operate that way. They believed in something beyond themselves. They built this city, and they built its churches — stone by stone, across generations, with their own hands. Those buildings are still here. You can see them across the city, in every direction.

What defined this place was not that everyone agreed. It was that people were willing to stand behind what they believed. They did not keep it private. They did not wait to see how it would be received. They stood where they stood.

The faith is still here. You hear it when you talk to people. It’s in the neighborhoods, in the families, in everything that was handed down. But somewhere along the way — including among people with the standing to actually say something — it became safer to keep it private.

That is not how this place was built. And it is not who we are.

Remember —

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” — (Matthew 5:14)

Responds to frantic father, performs Heimlich and toddler starts breathing again

By Bob Unruh

March 26, 2026

A frantic father whose 1-year-old had not been breathing, takes him in his arms again after a federal ICE agent performed the Heimlich. The ICE agent is behind the pillar in this grainy security video (X)

An agent from the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, at Kennedy International Airport in New York on President Donald Trump’s orders because Democrats have refused to fund Transportation Security Administration officers’ payroll, has saved the life of a 1-year-old.

DHS reported, after the incident on Wednesday, explained, “An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent helping to support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York jumped into action to help save the life of a one-year-old child experiencing a medical emergency.”

The report continued, “The heroic actions of this officer began when a one-year-old child became unresponsive in the arms of his father, unable to breathe for almost two minutes. CCTV review shows a passenger in a TSA Precheck line holding his one-year-old in his arms when the child’s arms go lifeless; panic ensues, and the father is seen scrambling around the area, and calling for help.

“The agent working at his post, heard the screams from the father and other passengers and sprinted to the scene. The father handed the child to the officer, who then assessed the unresponsive child and began performing the Heimlich maneuver. After a few seconds, the child started breathing again. EMS personnel arrived on scene with medical equipment to further monitor and re-assess the child. The child was re-assessed and determined to be healthy enough to fly.”

What Every American Needs to Know about the Qur’an – A History of Islam and the United States

FrontPage Magazine reported August 19, 2021:

“As the Taliban moved into Kabul and demanded the unconditional surrender of the central government, Taliban commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa told CNN:

‘… One day … Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day’ … The Taliban does indeed want peace … the peace that will follow the world’s submission to the hegemony of Islamic law.”

In October of 2014, women in Iran who were not wearing burqas were victims of acid attacks for violating Islamic sharia law.

On August 17, 2021, The New York Post reported that the Taliban executed a woman in broad daylight for violating sharia law by not wearing a burqa.

On March 19, 2026, a 19-year-old wrestling champion, Saleh Mohammadi, was executed in Iran for violating sharia by participating in a demonstration for democracy.

What is sharia?

The word “sharia” simply means the law, the path, or code of conduct.

It is trying to be like Mohammed, as he is the perfect Muslim, even though he admitted: “though I am the messenger of Allah, I do not know what he will be do with me.” Sura 46:9

What Mohammed permitted is permitted. It is called “halal.”

What Mohammed did not permit is not permitted. It is called “haram.”

Mohammed liked cats, therefore cats are halal. They are permitted.

Mohammed did not like dogs, therefore dogs are haram. They are not permitted.

Sharia is a long list of halals and harams, do’s and don’ts, and the local imam keeps the list.

But what if you really want to know why something is haram?

Be very careful asking that question, because if you ask too many questions you could be accused of doubting, and doubting is a sin punishable by death.

Instructions on living out sharia, called fiqh, is derived from several sources:

Qur’an – private revelations to Mohammed, made up of moderate religious “weak” verses he received in Mecca; and political-military “strong” verses he received in Medina.

Hadiths – 9,000 oral stories remembered about Mohammed by his wives and warriors. (Aisha bint Abi Bakr, wife, 2,210 hadiths; Umm Salama, wife, 375 Hadiths; Abu Hurayrah, warrior, 5,374 hadiths; Abdullah bin Umar, warrior, 2,630 Hadiths; Anas bin Malik, warrior, 2,286 hadiths.)

Sirat Rasul Allah – the biography of Mohammed, written c. 767 AD by Ibn Ishaq, revised c. 834 AD by Ibn Hishām.

Reliance of the Traveller – a summary of sharia jurisprudence written c. 1367, and taught at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University.

Rulings – 1,400 years of legal decisions (fatwa) by Islamic jurists (ulama) in 5 schools of thought (madhhabs): 4 Sunni (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali) and 1 Shia (Ja’fari).

Ayatollah Khomeini wrote a book on sharia in 1970 titled Islamic Governance of the Jurist (Hokumat-e Islami: Velayat-e faqih.)

He advocated:

-The laws of society should be made up only of sharia. Other laws are unnecessary because sharia laws cover “all human affairs”;

-Those holding government posts should have deep knowledge of sharia.

-Rule by “those claiming to be representatives of the majority of the people” are proclaimed “wrong” by sharia.

-Clerical rule is necessary to prevent injustice.

Khomeini’s religious police, the Gasht-e Ershad, enforce sharia:

-beating and flogging women who do not adhere to strict dress codes of being covered with veils.

-no freedom for liberals, leftists, or feminists. When Khomeini took power, he had the first woman to serve in Iran’s cabinet, Farrokhrou Parsa, executed by a firing squad.

-no woman can leave her house without her husband’s permission.

-no woman can leave her house unless accompanied by a male relative.

-a woman must obey her husband in ALL matters or else she has no right to clothing, housing, or food.

-a man can have multiple wives, as young as 13.

Sharia is contrary to nearly all of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such as Article 18:

“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief.”

Is sharia compatible with U.S. Law?

President Obama announced in Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009:

“When the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the Holy Qur’an.”

As nice as this sounds, is there an inherent contradiction?

Can one swear to defend the Constitution upon a book that instructs followers to overthrow it?

Sharia claims to be directly from Allah, enforced top-down. Its promoters consider man-made law of “government from the consent of the governed” as sinful.

When one compares sharia with the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments, there are incompatibilities.

Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson wrote in the foreword of the book Law in the Middle East (1955):

“The law of the Middle East is the antithesis of Western law.”

The FIRST AMENDMENT to the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the “free exercise” of religion, yet Mohammed said “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57).

Sharia relegates non-Muslims to “dhimmi” status, where they are not to propagate their customs among Muslims, and cannot display a Cross, Christmas decorations, or a Star of David.

The Quran states in Sura 4:89, “Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take hold of them and kill them wherever you find them.”

A former Muslim, Nissar Hussain, is leading a movement in England to outlaw the vigilante killing of those who leave Islam – Legalize Apostasy.

The FIRST AMENDMENT states Congress shall not abridge “the freedom of speech,” yet sharia enforces dhimmi status on non-Muslims, prohibiting them from observing their religious practices publicly, raising their voices during prayer, ringing church bells, or say anything considered “insulting to Islam.”

The French philosopher Voltaire once said: “If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.”

The FIRST AMENDMENT states Congress cannot take away “the right of the people to peaceably assemble,” yet sharia states non-Muslims cannot repair places of worship or rebuild destroyed ones; they must allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings; they cannot bring their dead near the graveyards of Muslims or mourn their dead loudly.

The FIRST AMENDMENT states Congress cannot take away the right of the people “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” yet sharia states non-Muslims are not to harbor any hostility towards the Islamic state or give comfort to those who disagree with Islamic government.

The SECOND AMENDMENT states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” yet sharia states non-Muslims cannot possess arms, swords or weapons of any kind.

The THIRD AMENDMENT states one cannot be forced to “quarter” someone in their house, yet sharia states non-Muslims must entertain and feed for three days any Muslim who wants to stay in their home, and for a longer period if the Muslim falls ill, and they cannot prevent Muslim travelers from staying in their places of worship.

The FOURTH AMENDMENT guarantees “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures,” yet sharia states non-Muslims do not have this protection; and if a non-Muslim rides on a horse with a saddle and bridle, the horse can be taken away.

The FIFTH AMENDMENT states that “no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime … without due process of law,” yet Mohammed said “No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir (infidel).” (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, No. 50).

The SIXTH AMENDMENT guarantees a “public trial by an impartial jury” and the SEVENTH AMENDMENT states “the right of trial by jury shall be preserved,” yet sharia does not give non-Muslims equal legal standing with Muslims, even prohibiting them from testifying in court against Muslims.

The EIGHTH AMENDMENT states there shall be no “cruel and unusual punishments inflicted,” yet the Qur’an states: “Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done-a deterrent from Allah.” (Sura 5:38)

A woman who is guilty of adultery, fornication, or who has been raped is also punished by flogging “with a hundred stripes.” (Sura 24:2)

Sharia allows men to beat women: “If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them, then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed, then you may (as a last alternative) beat them” (Sura 4:34).

Another sharia practice is honor killing of wives and daughters who have embarrassed their families.

Sharia practicing fundamentalists have been reported to punish those breaking laws by beatings, mutilations, electrocutions, rapes, burying alive, burning, stabbing, acid attacks, torturing, strangling, drowning, stoning and beheading.

The NINTH and TENTH AMENDMENTS protect rights not listed in Constitution by reserving them to the states and to the citizens within the states.

Under sharia, citizens, especially women and non-Muslims, do not have inherent God-given rights.

The THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT states there shall be no “slavery or involuntary servitude,” yet the sharia accommodates slavery as Mohammed owned slaves.

The FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT guarantees citizens “equal protection of the laws,” yet sharia does not consider Jews, Christians or other non-Muslims as equal before the law with Muslims.

Referring to Jews as “the People of the Book,” Muhammad said: “They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have been under his wrath; some of whom were turned into apes and swine” (Sura 5:60, 7:166, 2:65).

The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT guarantees “the right of the citizens … to vote shall not be denied … on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude,” yet strict interpretation of sharia does not allow voting, as democracy is considered people setting themselves above Allah by making their own laws.

The SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT has some similarities with sharia, as “Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived.” Mohammed said “Fight those who believe not in Allah … until they pay the jizya [tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Sura 9:29)

The SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT senators directly elected by the people.

Sharia does not believe people, especially women and non-Muslims, should be allowed to choose their leaders.

The EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT has some similarities with sharia, as “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors … for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.” This is the same with sharia.

The NINETEENTH AMENDMENT allows women to vote, yet in most sharia controlled countries women cannot vote, as they are considered inferior to men.

“Men are superior to women” (Sura 2:228) and “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because men spend their wealth to maintain women” (Sura 34:4).

The TWENTY-FIRST AMENDMENT allows for the sale of liquor, yet sharia does not allow individuals to sell or consume wine and liquor in public.

The TWENTY-SECOND AMENDMENT limits a President to two terms, but sharia is opposed to citizens, especially women and non-Muslims, voting for Presidents. Sharia seeks to recognize a divinely-appointed Caliph.

The TWENTY-THIRD AMENDMENT allowed citizens of Washington, DC., to vote in Presidential elections.

Again, sharia is opposed to allowing citizens, especially women and non-Muslims, to vote.

The TWENTY-FOURTH AMENDMENT abolished poll taxes, where someone was required to pay a fee in order to vote.

Again, sharia is opposed to citizens, especially women and non-Muslims, voting.

The TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT addresses succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities.

Again, sharia does not believe people, especially women and non-Muslims, should be allowed to choose their leaders.

TWENTY-SIXTH AMENDMENT allowed 18-year-olds to vote.

Again, sharia is opposed to citizens, especially women and non-Muslims, voting, as it considers its laws as divine.

What Every American Needs to Know about the Qur’an – A History of Islam and the United States

Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson wrote in the foreword of the book Law in the Middle East (1955):

“Islamic law offers the American lawyer a study in dramatic contrasts.

Even casual acquaintance and superficial knowledge … reveal that its striking features relative to our law are not likenesses but inconsistencies, not similarities but contrarieties.

In its source, its scope and its sanctions, the law of the Middle East is the antithesis of Western law.”

The Supreme Court decision of Town of Greece v. Galloway was cited by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in upholding “In God We Trust” on national currency, August 28, 2018:

“In Galloway, the Supreme Court offered an unequivocal directive: ‘The Establishment Clause must be interpreted by reference to historical practices and understandings’ … Historical practices often reveal what the Establishment Clause was originally understood to permit.”

As Islamic populations grow, they exert clandestine pressure on inhabitants of a host neighborhood to set aside Judeo-Christian “historical practices and understandings” and instead comply with sharia.

A majority of the top 50 areas persecuting Christian have degrees of sharia enforced in an unofficial neighborhood basis, often by Wahabi-Salafi influenced groups, such as: Taliban, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Muslim Brotherhood.

It is the equivalent of cartels or gangs, like the Mafia, KKK, Antifa, Bloods, Crips, MS13 or Tren de Aragua, simply choosing to call themselves “a religion” and liberal judges would allow them to teach their beliefs in schools and carry out vigilante justice taking over neighborhoods.

Nations with regions enforcing varying elements of sharia include:

Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Comoros, Egypt, Gaza, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.

Instances of sharia exist in different countries to varying degrees, such as:

1. Indonesia (flogging, caning; sharia applied strictly in Aceh province)

2. Turkey (some restrictions on alcohol)

3. Brunei (caning; alcohol is illegal)

4. Jordan (two years or less for honor killings)

5. Eritrea (girls as young as 8 can be married; spousal rape is not recognized)

6. Syria (one year or less for honor killings)

7. Djibouti (sharia law regarding divorce)

8. Chechnya (modest dress enforced; alcohol and gambling suppressed by local authorities)

9. Niger (girls can be married off before they reach puberty)

10. Nigeria (sharia is enforced in the northern states)

11. Kenya (ad hoc sharia enforced in the east near the border with Somalia)

12. Gambia (sharia courts decide all family matters, including for non-Muslims)

13. Qatar (public consumption is illegal during Ramadan; alcohol heavily restricted; blood money acceptable punishment for murder; “kafala” law, which is also shared by all Gulf states but Bahrain, is technically slavery)

14. Uganda (Kadhi courts overseeing family and civil matters)

Muhammad was a religious leader, and also a political and military leader.

As a result, his fundamentalist followers consider Islam not just a religious system, but also a political and military system.

Worldwide, there is no single individual or group that has the authority to insist that followers of Muhammad cease from imitating his political and military example.

A sharia practicing person bowing toward Mecca is effectively pledging political and military allegiance to a globalist Islamist agenda they consider superior to the country they live in.

Keith Ellison swore into office with his hand upon the Qur’an which advocates inequality towards non-Muslims.

This is similar to National Socialist Workers Party leaders in Germany swearing upon Hitler’s Mein Kampf to protect Jews.

Winston Churchill described Hitler’s Mein Kampf as a “new Koran,” in Second World War (Vol. 1, Ch. 4, From War to War, p. 50-55):

“Mein Kampf, a treatise on Hitler’s political philosophy … the technique of party propaganda … the concept of a National-Socialist State … Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message …

The main thesis of Mein Kampf is simple. Man is a fighting animal; therefore the nation, being a community of fighters, is a fighting unit …

The fighting capacity of a race depends on its purity. Hence the need for ridding it of foreign defilements.

The Jewish race, owing to its universality, is of necessity pacifist …

Only brute force can ensure the survival of the race; hence the necessity for military forms. The race must fight; a race that rests must rust and perish.”

In some countries, Islamists use democracy to get elected, then once in power, they proceed to rule as dictators.

The Economist reported (2/4/16) of Turkey’s leader:

“Mr Erdogan made a telling remark … ‘Democracy is like a train,’ he said; ‘you get off once you have reached your destination.'”

DVD Islamic Conquest – Past and Present

It is reported that a record number of Muslims are running for political office in America.

Perhaps it would be worth considering having every politicians take this pledge:

Demonstrators in Dearborn, Michigan, held up a sign:

“We will use the freedoms of the Constitution to destroy the Constitution.” (The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, Lutzer, 2013)

Citizens must decide if sharia is compatible with the U.S. Constitution, or if those promoting it will be allowed to stealthily use the freedoms of the Constitution to implement sharia and eliminate the Constitution.

Dwight Eisenhower warned in a TIME Magazine article, “Eisenhower on Communism,” October 13, 1952:

“The Bill of Rights contains no grant of privilege for a group of people to destroy the Bill of Rights.

A group … dedicated to the ultimate destruction of all civil liberties, cannot be allowed to claim civil liberties as its privileged sanctuary from which to carry on subversion of the Government.”

In a Richmond courtroom speech, Patrick Henry stated November 25, 1791, as recorded in Sketches of the Life and Character of Patrick Henry (Philadelphia, 1817, by U.S. Attorney General William Wirt, pages 322-323):

“I know, sir, how well it becomes a liberal man and a Christian to forget and forgive.

As individuals professing a holy religion, it is our bounden duty to forgive injuries done us as individuals.

But when the character of Christian you add the character of patriot, you are in a different situation.

Our mild and holy system of religion inculcates an admirable maxim of forbearance. If your enemy smite one cheek, turn the other to him.

But you must stop there. You cannot apply this to your country. As members of a social community, this maxim does not apply to you.

When you consider injuries done to your country your political duty tells you of vengeance. Forgive as a private man, but never forgive public injuries.

Observations of this nature are exceedingly unpleasant, but it is my duty to use them.”

Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”

Not all Middle East leaders wanted sharia.

Shah Reza Pahlavi of Iran, in office from 1941 to 1979, was a strong supporter of the United States and western ideals of freedoms.

The Shah met with Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford.

The Shah was betrayed by President Jimmy Carter, who ushered in Ayatollah Khomeini, who enforced sharia in Iran.

In Egypt, President Gamal Nasser did not want sharia, as he told a political gathering in 1958:

“I met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood and he sat with me and made his requests.

What did he request? The first thing he asked for was to make wearing the hijab mandatory in Egypt and demand that every woman walking in the street wear a tarha scarf, [audience laughter] Every woman walking! [someone in audience shouted “let him wear it!”]

And I told him, if I make that a law they will say that we have returned to the days of Al-Hakim bi Amr Allah, who forbade people from walking at day and only allowed walking at night.

And my opinion is that every person in his own house decides for himself the rules.

And he replied “No, as the leader, you are responsible.”

I told him, “Sir, you have a daughter in the School of Medicine and she is not wearing a tarha. Why didn’t you make her wear a tarha? If you are unable to make one girl – who is your daughter – wear the tarha, you want me to put a tarha on 10 million woman myself? laughter]

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the father of the modern Republic of Turkey and its first President, 1924-1938, abolished sharia courts, made Friday a workday, and instituted the “weekend” of Saturday and Sunday.

He outlawed polygamy and elevated the status of women, appointing the first female judges, and insisting on education of girls.

He abolished women wearing of scarves, veils, chadors or burqas – the full-length body dress worn by Muslim women, and requiring women to wear skirts.

Ataturk stated:

“If henceforward the women do not share in the social life of the nation, we shall never attain to our full development. We shall remain irremediably backward, incapable of treating on equal terms with the civilizations of the West.”

Ataturk wrote in his book on citizenship (quoted in Ataturk, Yurttaslik Bilgileri, Yenigun Haber Ajansi, June 1997, p. 18):

“Mohammedanism was based on Arab nationalism above all nationalities …

Even before accepting the religion of the Arabs, the Turks were a great nation … He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government.”

Ataturk abolished the position of the Sultan and set up a secular government He ended the religious Caliphate, thus preventing Muslim religious leaders from controlling government affairs.

In an effort to cut ties with the fundamentalist past, he introduced the western use of last names, replaced Arabic Islamic names with Turkish names, and encouraged the next generation not take Arabic names but instead ethnic Turkish names.

Ataturk abolished the use of Arabic and Persian script and replaced it with the Latin alphabet. He abolished turbans and fezes, the red felt cap with a black tassel, and required men to wear western pants and suits.

Ataturk banned beards on men, and even required Muslim prayer leaders to be beardless. He replaced Arabic muezzin’s call to prayer and made praying a private affair.

Ataturk, as recorded in Ataturk, Yurttaslik Bilgileri, Yenigun Haber Ajansi, June 1997, p. 18, stated:

“The purpose of the religion founded by Muhammad, over all nations, was to drag them into Arab national politics … It might have suited tribes in the desert. It is no good for a modern, progressive state.”
