in the qur'an, it was called sharia or 'the way to know god'. prof. tariq ramadan: we have three verses where the concept is revealed in one way or another, on one form or another. and in fact what was understood by the prophet and his companions is that what they were trying to implement was in fact this way towards god so this is why we have a problem of defining the word because the scholars afterward defined sharia as god's law but because they were jurists so for them sharia is all about law but what he was doing is just promoting you know brotherhood, justice, equality, freedom, this is sharia in fact. rageh omaar: what is known today as sharia law, the sacred law of islam is very different. it only came into existence two centuries after muhammad's death when muslim legal experts devised a legal code to help run the ever-expanding islamic empire. they used a mixture of qur'anic teachings and examples from muhammad's life. many muslims now regard that version of sharia as the unalterable law of god. dr. amira bennison: the underlying principles

obama's sharia advisor.ere's a man named david who is running for democrats in our curmudgeon and he was a member that musgrave is a congressman in northern virginia who support him. but do not believe that there are moderate muslims because they all have the koran. so if we want to start somewhere -- to. >> if they are following it to the t. all the violent verses many do but i've met many that don't and that's just a fact. i don't know david ramadan. >> it's a very difficult concept for americans to wrap their heads around. we came here because of religious freedom and we have to be very careful and there are people that go to the synagogue each week and they mumble their prayers and they don't understand what's being said so entrÉe much for us to distinguish between those that are radical and violent than those that are not because we really have got to appreciate what our founding fathers meant and we are not saying go and shut down every mosque. c. sierra and i have worked with thousands of muslims thro

and skipping sharia. soon they're chanting in the streets death to bedtime. finally i don't know if i have mentioned it before folks but i'm anti-bear. not a fan. and recently a hidden wildlife camera in an alberta national park showed us what these killing machine does when they think that no one is watching. yeah. kind of adorable but jim, play it again and this time drop the needle. >> which brings me to the number one threat to america stripper bears. nation, folk. these godless twerking machines are turning their forests into their very own episode of grizz gone wild because look what happens next. ♪ girls, girls, girls ♪ girl, girls, girls ♪. >> stephen: who could resist these hot stripper bears. i mean they're topless and bottomless. so they really should consider waxing. but think about it, you meet one of these ursine beauties at your body's bachelor party and you think you're really conducting, you know, but to her it's all about business and just when your hopes are up she rips your heart out a

this is sharia law. how does that happen? the guy practices sharia law. i was in detroit and the lady had a ministry to moms. she goes to the muslim house. out of the room comes another pregnant mom. and not of the room comes another pregnant mom, all pregnant by the same guy. and then another guy comes up and says, i am in the neighborhood and thoughtful, the muslim but a whole bunch of houses on the street. he is away from each one, tells them to sign up for welfare and they are all being paid for by the state. so they practice it in her house and then on their street and then a part is in their neighborhood. and then make it a community like dearborn. since they're the ones in charge, they vote muslims into the leadership and began to have their call to prayer. it takes over a puddle by the dole. an example of sharia law. in morocco, the judge ordered a girl to marry her and she committed suicide. these are political militant muslims that want to move into the west and it's important for us to grow up and realize that islam is not just a religion. it's

. -- sharia law.lder directly intervenes in dozens of cases. the obama administration has directly intervened in dozens of cases and rammed these radical mosques through. the fox is guarding the henhouse, and i go back to mohamed majid who i mentioned earlier. remember isna? hard to forget. mohamed is a guy who last year at a white house -- i believe it was a ramadan dinner event. funny thing, i look at the guest list, and i look at the video of the event, and mohamed is sitting in the front row in front of president obama. president obama standing at the podium like i am now, and mohamed has a front and center seat. even worse for our country and our national security, mohamed majid and others of these muslim brotherhood-individuals, majid is advising our department of homeland security. not radical islam, countering violent extremism working group where mohamed has a direct pipeline to the department of homeland security. and he's advising them on their counterterrorism and middle east poll policies

separatists established their own interpretation of sharia law they had no use for reconciliation the world was shocked by scenes of public executions summary justice like this was typical in chechnya or the one nine hundred ninety s. . this woman who contracted the murder of her husband is about to be executed by his side as the assassin you have been found guilty under article one six seven and one six eight the sentence is death by firing squad. or interested with the execution neither before nor after have been so visible to the public. in the one nine hundred ninety s. . the supremes court that fact didn't deter him from admitting his mistakes when he sided with the federal authorities today he is chechnya and one of its chief peacemakers. says in the holy koran that if you forgive your muslim brother i will be indebted to you on judgment day. says i will forgive all of your sins that's what's written in the koran at the. head of chechnya ramzan kadyrov took a radical step to resolve the problem of blood vendettas the appeal to the people to forgive each other he also instructed

remember last week we were talking about a new abortion bill in the state senate that was tied to sharia law ban, we talked about that. >> we z this week the republican controlled north carolina house attached a similar bill to a motorcycle safety bill. >> that does seem ridiculous. abortions have nothing in common with motorcycle helmets. for one thing you can get a motorcycle helmet pretty much anywhere. but after-- after a north carolina legislative session like this, i think the big take away here might be your move, south carolina. oh, you thought you had craziest carolina all sewn up didn't you with your run away governors and rampant horse [bleep] and it gives me no pleasure saying this. e,#ttp'1 >> welcome back it was a gorgeous weekend here in the northeast, sunny, not too humid. if are you anything like me it was a perfect time to get outside, buy a bagel and head immediately back indoors to watch internet videos for a solid hour. specifically you choose cat videos, look, it's a cat playing what water. cats usually don't like water. but this particular cat loves it. you silly s

i am not a fan one that gives sharia law and a radical islamist nation. lori: what is the likelihood of that happening? why did president al-assad use chemical weapons in the first place may be too lew were in the west door the of coalition? to engage in another prolonged devastating economic situation? >> another great question and this is speculation. i think he is starting to win and he felt by using the chemical weapons looking at the u.s. as reckless and the administration and as very weak, they don't walk the walk. he feels if he humiliates us then he has the momentum on his side and he felt he was at the tipping point otherwise he could kill that many people in one week without bringing in the united states as well as the u.n. and nato forces. there had to be a rationale because it does not make a lot of sense, does it? it. lori: absolutely not. many thanks to you for your expertise. thank you general mcenery. we will have more on the a ministrations play and throw out tonight's broadcast. does the u.s. military involvement spooked wall street? our
