There is a madness afoot. Beheadings, vaginal clitoris cutting, honor killing, gay killing, Jew-hating, creed apartheid, gender apartheid, polygamy, etc is superior to Western law according to impeachment hoax star witness.
“In fact, for most of its history, Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world. Today, when we invoke the harsh punishments prescribed by Shariah for a handful of offenses, we rarely acknowledge the high standards of proof necessary for their implementation,” Feldman argued.
Feldman also claimed that the West “needs Shariah and Islam.”

“It sometimes seems as if we need Shariah as Westerners have long needed Islam: as a canvas on which to project our ideas of the horrible, and as a foil to make us look good,” he added.
Harvard Law professor and Democrat witness Noah Feldman takes the witness stand today in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
By Greg Manz and Raheem Kassam, War Room, December 4, 2019:
Feldman wrote in a New York Times op-ed published on March 16, 2008 that “Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world.”
He also juxtaposed Sharia with English common law, and claimed the West “needs Shariah and Islam”.
Some of the key paragraphs of Noah Feldman’s op-ed are as follows:
…the outrage about according a degree of official status to Shariah in a Western country should come as no surprise. No legal system has ever had worse press. To many, the word “Shariah” conjures horrors of hands cut off, adulterers stoned and women oppressed. By contrast, who today remembers that the much-loved English common law called for execution as punishment for hundreds of crimes, including theft of any object worth five shillings or more? How many know that until the 18th century, the laws of most European countries authorized torture as an official component of the criminal-justice system? As for sexism, the common law long denied married women any property rights or indeed legal personality apart from their husbands. When the British applied their law to Muslims in place of Shariah, as they did in some colonies, the result was to strip married women of the property that Islamic law had always granted them — hardly progress toward equality of the sexes.
In fact, for most of its history, Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world. Today, when we invoke the harsh punishments prescribed by Shariah for a handful of offenses, we rarely acknowledge the high standards of proof necessary for their implementation. Before an adultery conviction can typically be obtained, for example, the accused must confess four times or four adult male witnesses of good character must testify that they directly observed the sex act. The extremes of our own legal system — like life sentences for relatively minor drug crimes, in some cases — are routinely ignored. We neglect to mention the recent vintage of our tentative improvements in family law. It sometimes seems as if we need Shariah as Westerners have long needed Islam: as a canvas on which to project our ideas of the horrible, and as a foil to make us look good.
In the Muslim world, on the other hand, the reputation of Shariah has undergone an extraordinary revival in recent years. A century ago, forward-looking Muslims thought of Shariah as outdated, in need of reform or maybe abandonment. Today, 66 percent of Egyptians, 60 percent of Pakistanis and 54 percent of Jordanians say that Shariah should be the only source of legislation in their countries.
…
How is it that what so many Westerners see as the most unappealing and premodern aspect of Islam is, to many Muslims, the vibrant, attractive core of a global movement of Islamic revival? The explanation surely must go beyond the oversimplified assumption that Muslims want to use Shariah to reverse feminism and control women — especially since large numbers of women support the Islamists in general and the ideal of Shariah in particular.
Noah Feldman isn’t the only questionable Democrat witness today.
Other witnesses have showed clear political biases against President Trump and one, Pamela Karlan, even donated to Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign on July 29, 2019.
David Bossie noted:
One witness is Stanford University Law Professor Pamela Karlan, an Obama appointee who’s been described as a “sharp progressive.” Karlan has contributed thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates over the years, from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to former President Barack Obama, to current presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
Feldman’s support for Sharia Law, however, should probably alarm all Americans as he lectures the nation on constitutional law.

Noah Feldman must love the idea, under sharia law, women are property, not people, and can be abused in all forms without repercussions.

Feldman probably would never have a problem with the deadly Muhammadist blasphemy-law as an agnostic or atheist thought would probably seem too abstract & psychotic to him.
Maybe women weren’t allowed to have property in an ancient Britain, but at least they were allowed to have a clitoris & take natural vitamin d3 from a sunshower.
We also tend to forget that unjust Muhammad founded the enslavement of Africans (see Wikiislam) & only thanks to the whims of a racist, Muhammadist slave-owner can an African ascend to the ranks of a freed & yet through the racist Muhammadist mythologies marked slave.

This so called scholar Should put his money where is mouth is. I propose that if he has a 11 year old daughter, enroll her in school at his local mosque for 3 months. Yes there are schools in mosques.

we rarely acknowledge the high standards of proof necessary for their implementation. Before an adultery conviction can typically be obtained, for example, the accused must confess four times or four adult male witnesses of good character must testify that they directly observed the sex act.
Hmmmm … Mohammad did create a seemingly almost impossible standard of proof for adultery. I believe that was to protect Aisha from certain allegations. In the light of history, it does not appear to have been a huge deterrent in their efforts to execute alleged adulteresses, but I suppose that is a mere minor practical detail- after all. stoning for adultery goes back at least to Hammurabi.
Are there other examples in sharia of such exacting proof being required? I do have to wonder if the poets executed for mocking Mohammad are included in those standards.
Nevertheless, to the best of my knowledge, Feldman may have a point that sharia may have more exacting standards of evidence than, say, Western legal traditions have demanded. Whether those standards have been followed in the Islamic world is another matter- certainly a Kafir has often been at a legal disadvantage in is Islamic courts.
FWIW, here are verses 4/15 – 4/17 of the Koran:
Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women – bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.
And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

The cornerstones of Shariah law — islamic blasphemy and heresy laws — are enforced throughout the muslum world today and arguably in places like Dearbornistan, Michigan, Fwance and the United Kaliphate. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are incompatible w/islum and always have been.

As a woman, I’d much preferred living under the Roman government 2400 years ago, than live under Sharia Law today in Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Iran today. Prof Feldman is an idiot.

Mr. constitutional scholar, Article VI of the US Constitution states that it is the supreme law of the land. Muslims aren’t impressed with our Constitution, they believe that sharia is the supreme law of the world.

So, he compares sharia to antique, completely outdated legal practices, ignoring the Constitution and federal and state legal practices. He’s a complete nutcase!

So. DamnoCraps worked a perverted muzzy supporter into their witness list? How very DemonRat of them! Shariah Law is B.S.! Mu…mad, with HAM, was a fake prophet! Izlame is a cheap imitation of Judeo-Chridtian faith in 650 AD that grew until 1300s and became dead and stagnant after that! Us Marines were created to battle Muslim piracy against Revolution-era American shipping. Loyal Americans have been battling the perversion since then!

I have read the entire Koran.
It is obvious that Noah Feldman has not.
No one should rely on explanations of anything regarding Islam from Moslems,
who are obligated to lie to defend Islam. (10-21) (8-30) (3-54) (66-2)

‘feldman’ can be DEPORTED as a co-conspirator of “cair”. Send him to North Africa where “boco haram ‘faithful’ ” can use him at their pleasure.
