Florida Family Association launched an email campaign titled: TEXAS Mayor gives radical mosque leaders special access to school board to ensure enforcement of so-called "Islamic values" ie Sharia law.  The email alert provided a prepared email that people could send to the Mayor and City Council members to educate them on the dangers of Sharia law and urge the mayor to retract his offer to give special access to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC).  

This alert provides you with the opportunity to send an email to the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendents and each board member of the Plano Independent School District to educate them on the dangers of Sharia law and urge them not to allow its teachings in their schools.

BareNakedIslam published the following article reposted in part by FFA:

RAIR Foundation (h/t Marvin W) In a deeply alarming moment, a newly surfaced video captures Plano Mayor John B. Muns inside the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), meeting with mosque leadership—including Yasir Qadhi, a cleric with a long-documented record of radical Islamic views.

During the meeting, Qadhi pressed for assurances that Islamic moral values and traditional family teachings would be protected in public education. In response, Mayor Muns pledged to arrange a private dialogue between EPIC’s leadership and multiple school board officials—a courtesy seemingly not extended to Christian churches, Hindu temples, or any other concerned faith-based groups across Texas who have similarly objected to radical sexual curricula in public schools.

Qadhi framed Texas as a refuge for Muslims escaping liberal states and launched into a culturally charged demand: that the Plano Independent School District (PISD) protect Islamic morality, family structure, and the right of Muslims to teach their children according to 'Sharia'-based values.

Dr. Yasir Qadhi, the apparent leader headlined at the EPIC website, said “Jews and Christians are filthy, their lives and their property can be taken in Jihad by the Muslims.” 

Qadhi has publicly declared that:

• Democracy is illegitimate: “No Supreme Court, no system of government, no democracy where they vote… What gives you the right to prohibit something or allow something?”
• Any legal system outside Sharia is disbelief: “To believe that it is permissible to follow a system of laws other than the Sharia negates one’s testimony of Islam.”
• Rejecting full Sharia is rejecting Allah: “To compartmentalize Islam… shows that you really don’t believe in Islam, you don’t believe in Allah.”
• Apostates: He declares that believing in any law other than Sharia negates one’s Islam, effectively labeling Muslims who accept democracy as apostates.
• He has previously asserted that a true Muslim cannot be neutral about Islam—he must either accept it or reject it and become an enemy.

What's more, Qadhi has:

• Called Christians “filthy polytheists” and that their lives and property “hold no value” in jihad
• Hijacked Christ: Reducing the Son of God to a mouthpiece for Muhammad
• Denied the Holocaust
• Said democracy is inferior to Sharia
• Justified killing of apostates and homosexuals under Islamic law
• Defended the Taliban and promoted jihad-aligned ideologies
• Held fundraisers for terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, jailed for trying to kill U.S. soldiers.

All of this is derived from Sharia law.  None of it is suitable for teaching children.  Much of it conflicts with the United States Constitution.  These tenets of Sharia law are sadly some of the Sharia values to which the EPIC imam is referring.  

Many of the tenets of Sharia law are antithetical to the rights afforded under the United States Constitution.  Sharia law deprives women, apostate Muslims and infidels of many of the legal protections that are otherwise afforded them under the United States Constitution.  Additionally, Sharia law calls for cruel and unjust punishments, fatwas, honor killings, genital mutilations, discrimination, religious persecution and a host of other unconstitutional tenets.

Federal, state, county, city and school board officials take an oath to uphold the United States Constitution.  Advancing or allowing Islamist Sharia law violates that oath.  Additionally, giving special access to and empowering Islamists to elevate Sharia law above the United States Constitution is reckless and puts the values of all Americans at risk.
