Most honorable Mr. Bosbach, once upon a time, you answered my inquiry regarding a ban of burkas factually and clearly. I would like to thank you very much again here for doing so. I have taken your position into consideration and understand your problems, however I am of a differing opinion. And even this is part of living democracy.
(Open letter to Wolfgang Bosbach by Monika Kaufmann / Translation: Anders Denken)
I turn to you about a far more difficult and complex issue. Your legal expertise is being questioned here because I do not belong to belong to the legal community. I am a natural scientist.
The American Constitution contains certain amendments, that is to say, additions. In the First Amendment, for example, the right to free speech is established. Analogous to these amendments, I would like to ask you to bring a bill before the German Bundestag that would anchor an amendment in our Constitution making it impossible for all time for Sharia or parts of it to get a foothold in the German administration of justice.
You will probably counter that our Constitution excludes Sharia anyway, and thus far it gives no place to it; but these things aren’t so simple. In southern Thailand, for example, Sharia has already been instituted at the urging of the Muhammadan majority there (4% of the total population), and it appears that the the southern Philippines (less than 10% of the total population) will follow. Please don’t tell me now that these lands are far away and not part of Europe; the earth has meanwhile become a village. No one is untouched anymore by what the other does. These countries have a lot in common with us. They belong to the civilized world, they are democracies and have absolutely nothing to do with Islamic non-culture. Thailand is Buddhist, and the Philippines are Catholic, just like you, Mr. Bosbach.
But now, let’s turn to Europe. In Great Britain there are already 86 Sharia courts that aren’t necessarily taken up with carrying out the administration of justice in this country. Abused women are not granted redress, they don’t receive their proper inheritance, etc. The argument for Sharia courts is given that there are also Beth Din courts there, and that the Muhammadans should have the same standing as the Jews. This argument is incorrect on two grounds:
First, we live in a Judeo-Christian culture; Judaism is an integral part of European culture. The same things cannot be asserted about Islam, which we Europeans have always rejected. Take note of Spain, France and the Balkan countries.
Second, the administration of justice by a Beth Din applies only to Jews, while Sharia lays claim to universal validity. Even if the Sharia courts in Great Britain are currently available only for family matters and business disputes with Muhammadans, in this they already have a foot in the door of the British system of justice and will demand more and more concessions for the barbarity of Sharia. When they get something, they are not satisfied and ask for even more.
Here in Germany as well, Sharia administration of justice has managed to gain entry. A female judge attempted to prevent a woman from getting divorced because she was beaten by her husband on the grounds that in the Quran it says he is allowed to do so. In 2007, “Der Spiegel” published a deep reaching article in which was brought to light the increasing tendency of German courts to turn to the Sharia administration of non-justice when Muhammadans are involved in the case. This article is, unfortunately, not available to me; I received this information from the newest book by Bruce Bawer, “Surrender, Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom.”
The author Bruce Bawer, an American living in Norway, is part of a minority being tracked by Islam. He is an avowed homosexual and married to his Norwegian partner. Unfortunately, there are only a few who are completely aware of this threat by Islam. Most of them are known to follow a course of appeasement.
As a Jew, I also am counted part of a minority threatened by Islam. We Jews were the first victims of the self-appointed Prophet, and are threatened to this very day. Not only in Sderot, southern Israel, a place where rockets are always being fired from Gaza. In the Quran, we are denigrated as “monkeys and pigs.” And the expressions of this unholy book are inalterable for Muhammadans, being sent from Allah himself. And we are now, as ever before, being slandered and attacked by Muhammadans in the whole world, and not just verbally but also physically.
On all of the grounds mentioned above, I ask you, dear Mr. Bosbach, to bring a bill before the German Bundestag about an amendment to the German Constitution that would categorically bar any form of Sharia.
This letter has been published by PI, and I look forward to an in-depth discussion.
With cordial greetings,
Monika Kaufmann
