Supreme Court Justice–Elena Kagan–is Pro Sharia Law!
By Kevin A. Lehmann on in Kevin's Commentary, Politics, Radical Islam
Just when you thought all the talk about Barack Obama usurping the Constitution to bring the United States into compliance with the UN and the Sharia-dominated New International Order was little more than right-wing conspiratorial propaganda—Think Again! The “Appointed One,” in cunning Islamic style, is covering all the bases by laying the foundation, including placing an ally in the United States Supreme Court!
Why is it always after the fact, after the elections and after critical appointments that the real vetting of candidates finally takes place? Simple. When you have a clueless, apathetic and disengaged American populace, coupled with a leftist liberal media that’s already in the tank for the “Messharia,” you take the fast track to confirmation and worry about the repercussions later. After all, it’s a lot easier to select than it is to eject a political appointee.
Elena Kagan’s views render her the first Supreme Court Justice who actively favors the introduction of Sharia law into national Constitutions and legal systems. It’s unprecedented in American history. We now have a liberal, pro-Sharia justice sitting on the highest court in the land. And is it any wonder? After all, as Obama’s Solicitor General, it was Kagan who blocked as many as nine lawsuits from being heard by the Supreme Court. Although the nine cases listed on the high court’s docket had nothing to do with Obama’s eligibility issues, there is no arguing Kagan’s advocacy for Islamic rule and Sharia Law as evidenced below. What do you want to bet that she refuses to recuse herself on any Sharia-related decision and instead leads the charge to legitimize Sharia law in America?
Christine Brim of the Center for Security Policy summarized Kagans’ 2003-2009 career as Dean of Harvard Law School in the following five points. They tell the story of Elena Kagans’ “deep appreciation” of Sharia law.
1. PRO-SHARIA MISSION:
With Kagan’s direction, Harvard’s Islamic Legal Studies Program developed a mission statement dedicated “to promote a deep appreciation of Islamic law as one of the world’s major legal systems.” That mission statement guided her actions and those whom she directed as Dean.
Under Kagan’s direction, her chief of staff at the Islamic Legal Studies Program aggressively expanded non-critical studies of Sharia law – fulfilling her mission “to promote a deep appreciation of Islamic law.” In 2003, the year Kagan became Harvard Law School Dean, Islamic Legal Studies Program Founding Director Frank Vogel and Associate Director Peri Bearman founded the Massachusetts-based International Society for Islamic Legal Studies. In 2007, Bearman and Vogel founded the Islamic Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools.
2. PRO-SHARIA MONEY:
When Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offered $10 million to New York City’s Rudy Guiliani on October 11, 2001, Guiliani refused to accept it, because the prince insisted that U.S. policies in the Middle East were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Guiliani stated, “There is no moral equivalent for this act.” But, when Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal offered $20 million to the Islamic Legal Studies Program in December 2005 – Kagan accepted it; after all, the Saudi royal family had funded the program since its inception to establish the moral and legal equivalency between Sharia law and U.S. Constitutional law. As presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, has noted, Harvard Law School currently has three chairs endowed by Saudi Arabia, including one dedicated to the study of Islamic sharia law.
In 2001 Guiliani made a decision not to accept Talal’s blood money. But in 2005, Kagan made a decision not just to accept it, but to implement Talal’s policies at Harvard.
Not only there, but as reported earlier this year, “Kagan is the main reason why the Supreme Court ruled against the 9/11 families” in a suit filed by thousands of 9/11 family members that traced funding for the 19 hijackers to certain Saudi royals, along with banks, corporations and Islamic charities. Kagan, as Obama’s Solicitor General, said in her brief “that the princes are immune from petitioners’ claims” and that the families’ claims that the Saudis helped to finance the plots fell “outside the scope” of the legal parameters for suing foreign governments or leaders.
So Kagan actively solicited Saudi financing to promote Sharia law in the U.S., and she actively protected Saudi financial backers for terrorism against the U.S., as being immune from claims by 9/11 families.
3. PROMOTING THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND SHARIA CONSTITUTIONS:
In December, 2006, Kagan hired Noah Feldman, architect of Iraq’s Constitution requiring Shariah, as a star faculty member at Harvard Law School. On March 16, 2008, Feldman published his controversial article “Why Sharia” in the New York Times Magazine, which promoted “Islamists” – the Muslim Brotherhood – as a progressive democratic party, and promoted Sharia as a model not just for Muslim-majority countries but for all: “In fact, for most of its history, Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world…” The article was adapted from his book The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State, which was published in late March, 2008.
On September 16, 2008, Kagan whole-heartedly endorsed Feldman’s promotion of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia Law by honoring him with the endowed “Bemis Chair” in International Law. Feldman’s speech on receiving the award was revealing: he advocated for an international, “outward interpretation” of the Constitution that could “require the U.S. to confer rights on citizens of other nations,” and allow for an “experimental Constitution.”
As to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist worldwide political organization that Feldman and Kagan support? Their motto is as revealing as Feldman’s speech:
“Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
Given that slogan, you could well ask if Feldman really meant the Muslim Brotherhood when he wrote about “Islamists” in the book Kagan so admired that she gave him an endowed chair. And he anticipated that question; in the second footnote in his book he states,
“Throughout this book, when I refer to Islamists or Islamism, I have in mind mainstream Sunni Muslim activists loosely aligned with the ideology of the transnational Muslim Brotherhood (MB)…the Brotherhood broadly embraces electoral politics, but without eschewing the use of violence in some circumstances, notably against those whom it defines as invaders in Iraq and Palestine.”
In summary, Kagan made the decision to honor Feldman, author of “big-lie” forms of pro-Sharia propaganda, supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, with an endowed chair. Feldman states flatly that the Muslim Brotherhood, whom he admires, does not “eschew the use of violence against those whom it defines as invaders in Iraq and Palestine.” Kagan’s financial backer, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, insisted that the U.S. policies in the Middle East (specifically in Israel and Palestine) were a cause of the 9/11 attacks. Like the Muslim Brotherhood, the prince did not “eschew the use of violence” against the U.S. And when 9/11 families sued the Saudi royals who funded the September 11, 2001 “use of violence” against the U.S., Kagan used her power as Solicitor General to protect the group that had been her financial backers at Harvard.
It gets better . . .
4. PROMOTING SHARIA IN CONSTITUTIONS WORLDWIDE:
On May 1, 2007, Kagan initiated a lecture series on Sharia Law, named for Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanhuri, a legal scholar who had drafted constitutions throughout the Middle East between the 1930s and 1960s. There are literally dozens of legal reformers throughout the Muslim world that she could have chosen; but she chose al-Sanhuri.
Sanhuri’s career consisted primarily of making sure that the civil and criminal legal codes throughout the Middle East were Sharia-compliant. He drafted the laws that ensured Sharia law took precedence over secular laws. As much as any single individual, he was responsible for the legal drafting for the “Constitutionalization” of Sharia in previously secular Muslim-majority nations in the 20th century, in concert with the political pressure for Sharia by the Muslim Brotherhood, and the financial pressure for Sharia by the Saudi Royal Family.
As legal scholar Enid Hill wrote in her biography of al-Sanhuri,
“The outlines of the future dialectic are thus able to be detected if al-Sanhuri’s specifications are followed: Islamic legal theory versus Western legal rules, and when the Western rules reflect a different underlying theory they are to be eliminated and new rules put in their place, rules that are reflective of Islamic legal theory.”
Or as al-Sanhuri states himself in his book The Arab Civil Code,
“The goal towards which I am striving is that there will be an Arab civil code derived primarily from the Islamic Shari’a.”
Kagan presided over four of the al-Sanhuri lectures before her departure to become Obama’s Solicitor General
5. PROMOTING SHARIA IN THE JUDICIAL COUP IN PAKISTAN
Kagan consistently used her position at Harvard to promote and legitimate the introduction of Shariah provisions into national constitutions, and indeed into Supreme Courts of other nations. In Pakistan however, her influence is having dire consequences . . .
On November 19, 2008, Elena Kagan presented the Harvard Law School Medal of Freedom to Iftikhar Chaudhry, the controversial Chief Justice of Pakistan. Chaudry had been deposed from his post in 2007 by President General Pervez Musharraf in a complex dispute that included the issue of independence of the judiciary. Musharraf later resigned, and on March 16, 2009, the Prime Minister Gilani re-appointed Chaudhry as Chief Justice.
As noted by Department of Defense attorneys from the Clinton and Reagan eras, Kagan’s honoree has mounted a Sharia judicial coup:
“Contrary to the constitution of Pakistan, Chaudhry usurped the right of appointment of vacancies in the court from the elected prime minister and president…In a previous ruling, Chaudhry reaffirmed the right of the court to disqualify members of Parliament, the president and all ministers of the cabinet from serving if they violate “Islamic injunctions,” or do not engage in ‘teaching and practices, obligatory duties prescribed by Islam. “
Given the fact that Elena Kagan is only fifty years old, she could easily serve on the Supreme Court until she’s eighty or beyond. Coupled with Obama’s Muslim upbringing, his anemic support for Israel, his lack of desire to secure the southern border, the ramrodding of Obamacare against the peoples will, joining an international lawsuit against the state of Arizona, his allegiance to Saudi oil magnates, his support of the UN’s Small Arms Treaty, his cosponsoring of a UN bill with Egypt to restrict free speech, the recent corrupt— Operation Fast & Furious, the appointment of his personal minions (czars) and rash of executive orders to circumvent the Constitution, and his latest gaff—resuming talks with the Muslim Brotherhood and the Taliban terrorist organization, is it even a question that the “appointed” one, the “Messharia” to America is laying the groundwork for gradual socialist reform and a syncretism of the Constitution of the United States with the Constitution of Sharia Law? I rest my case!
Until next time . . . Wake Up America!

This is why simply voting him out or impeaching him will do no good. He must be shown to be not eligible and in so doing we call recall, undo and un-fund everything he has put into place including his Supreme Court Justices.

Why can’t she since T/S holders can get clearance even being a Sharia advocate?

B. Hussein Obama clearly thought that it would be advantageous to nominate someone to the Supreme Court with a record nearly as thin as his own prior to winning the presidency. Kagan, as evidenced by her homophobic, anti-woman, anti-liberty stance, has shredded the principles and values of our Constitution to the great dismay of every freedom-loving, God-fearing, common sense American, on either side of the aisle politically. She has displayed a total disregard for human rights as enshrined in our Constitution, she is intellectually and morally worthless, at least with respect for her judgment and fitness to serve on a court that may be the last best hope to preserve the Constitution in the face of Sharia’s civilizational jihad. We need to send her packing back to the arcane world of academia, her pathetic, progressive teachable moment is over!

You are correct. These are poison pills.
Leo Donofrio is still working on what no one else seems to want to touch.

An excellent article, Kevin. Even though I only know your first name, I must commend you on a thorough and revealing article. If you could find even more information along these lines, I (and many others, I’m sure) would greatly appreciate it.

I take that back. I just saw that your last name is “Lehmann”. (I now feel as though I’ve known you for years, or at least minutes.)

This Kagan person believes in and supports religious principles above secular constitutional principles and further, in actions to be taken extra-legally as an act of religious dogma, even acts which are antithetically opposite to the rule of law. If the same beliefs were to be applied in the U S constitution, then her very appointment could be over-ruled by the Pope and there could be no appeal and she would have to comply according to her own beliefs ! Stupid is as stupid does !!

what drove me crazy during her hearings is not one senator questioned her on her pro sharia law stance. so much for checks and balances. lynsay graham was a joke in questioning kagan and sotomyor as well. everythingthat passes constitutionally now passes by a 5 to 4 margin. we are one more liberal radical away from losing everything the founding fathers made.

Injustice Kagan lacks the common survival sense of most paramecia. She seems to know or care nothing about Torah and the Biblical roots of the U.S. Constitution. She is against 2nd Amendment individual right to keep and bear arms. In short, she is the sort of useful idiot, Harvard Law School or not, who facilitates the ascension of dictators. Yes, it CAN happen here; and in fact, it has already begun to happen here. Solution– Impeach and try BHO, the sooner, the better.

Well, then, let’s do it! Write to His Holiness and have her appointment overruled! lol! He hates Catholics anyway, so it’d be a great revenge!

This is treason. Plain and simple.
I absolutely support any muslims right to worship as they please. However, like all of our rights, there are natural limits. Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose. In the same way, anyone may speak about sharia, they may wish out loud for the implementation of sharia, but the very second they move to actually establish sharia law here, they have violated my natural rights by attempting to overthrow the form of government we have set up expressly to protect them.
Treason I say again, because it is true.

I’m not sure, but isn’t this the same Supreme Court Justice that told another country to adopt a constitution based more on South Africa’s rather than using the United States Constitution as a model? What kind a sitting justice of the United States would do such a thing. Obviously one that has an agenda that is anti-American and pro-Socialist, if not Communist.

No, that was justice Ginsburg. I agree that she should be removed for such comments.

So now Conservatives ordain that we MUST send our dollars for oil to the Arab States, but we cannot figure out how to get the Arab States to send it back through business practices because the Quar’an specifies that Arab finances CANNOT charge interest? And there really IS a way to work around that obstacle course????
Pretty short-sighted and makes the Oil Revenues sent overseas a bottomless hole where our dollars just disappear never to return. All Kagan did was set up a University course on how to deal financially with, and work around this obstacle course, like any commonsense banker or educational financial course in a primo University would need to know in financial dealings. How stupid are we?

This annoys me and many of my family as we have gone through the attempted total genocide of my people during WW2 and now many in my family feel that there America is no longer safe for any of us or those who call yourself Christians. Too many things resemble pre-nazi Europe. We wonder if there will be this genocide here in the States as many Muslims are now entering the land and evil is being spoken well of.
Maybe it is time to genocide all of our politicians here and bring forth a new government that has the backbone to stand firm with the Constitution
We need to start to stand up against this onslaught of evil before we no longer stand as a nation..
