“The mosque Obama is visiting promotes SHARIA LAW!”

Fox Business host Stuart Varney delivered a tough statement to Obama today when he said plainly that the mosque Obama is visiting promotes Sharia law. Varney said that if Obama is going to go there, he should at least push for the reform of barbarity by calling on Saudi Arabia, a Muslim country governed by Sharia Law, to release a Palestinian poet who has been sentenced to 8 years and 800 lashes for ‘blasphemy’ and ‘illicit affairs with women’:

 
What Varney is referring to when he said the mosque promotes Sharia Law is this:

FOX NEWS – Barack Obama is making his first presidential visit to a U.S. mosque on Wednesday, but the historic occasion is being overshadowed by criticism that the Baltimore-area center he chose has extremist ties.

The controversy centers around the Islamic Society of Baltimore’s former imam, who has ties not only to the Muslim Brotherhood but the Northern Virginia mosque where the radical Anwar al-Awlaki used to preach.

“As a Muslim American I’m just insulted, this is disgraceful that this is one of the mosques — or the mosque — that he’s chosen to visit,” Zuhdi Jasser, of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Fox News on Sunday. “This mosque is very concerning.”

The former imam in question is Mohamad Adam El-Sheikh, who served at the Baltimore mosque from 1983-1989 and 1994-2003. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, he had moved to the U.S. in 1978 and went on to receive several advanced law degrees as he became involved in the religious community.

During his time in Baltimore, El-Sheikh was a regional director for the Islamic American Relief Agency, the international parent organization of which has been cited by the U.S. Treasury Department for connections to Al Qaeda and the Taliban. After 2003, he was the imam for the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., near Washington. It was there that Awlaki, just months earlier, gave his fiery sermons, before going on to be a top Al Qaeda affiliate operative in Yemen. Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

Of all the mosques to pick, this is the one he chooses? Wow.

 
Let me also remind you of this:

Ugh.
