GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert Calls For Hearings Into Threat of “Creeping Sharia”…

Naturally, the Soros-funded lefties at Think Progress are outraged:

This week, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) joined the growing chorus of Republicans clamoring for hearings to look into the threat of “creeping Sharia law.” Appearing on Frank Gaffney’s radio show (Gaffney is of course the chief architect of the “creeping Sharia” threat), Gohmert told the host he hoped they would “have some hearings” and that he would “be pushing for them”:

GOHMERT: The biggest shock out of all of this is that the women’s liberation groups have not just gone berserk over this creep into our society that diminishes women as it does.

GAFFNEY: This creep of Sharia law you’re talking about, Congressman Louie Gohmert. You’re absolutely right, they’re nowhere to be seen as this is such an affront to everything that they supposedly hold dear. It’s really extraordinary and it’s why we’re so delighted that you are in place in the United States Congress and that you will be holding forth I know as the Judiciary Committee begins its deliberations this session to look at the creep of Sharia law.

GOHMERT: I’m hoping we’re going to have some hearings because I’m going to be pushing for them. To discuss this issue because it does diminish the Constitution when you bring any law in that doesn’t allow women to be full equal citizens of the United States.

This is not idle banter. As chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, Gohmert has the power to hold such hearings. Rep. Allen West (R-FL), who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, has also said that the 112th Congress should prioritize the threat of “infiltration of the Sharia practice” in the United States. Between King, Gohmert, and West, three separate House committees could decide to spend valuable congressional time combating a phantom threat. Unfortunately, this Muslim scapegoating will do nothing to make America a more free, secure, or just society.

    Muslim scapegoating? Seriously? I swear the Libs are beyond dense. Creeping Sharia IS a threat.

    Louis Gohmert is kick-arse. A fellow protester (during the health-care debacle) said she watches him on C-Span and the historical facts and reasoning in his speeches is outstanding. Louis takes no prisoners. He’s blunt, but accurate when he’s giving soundbites on the news.

    Go Gohmert! That reminds me to write my Congressman and Senators to look into “Creeping Sharia.”

    It’s actually known as “stealth jihad” and “civilization jihad”: two terms used within the internal memos and training manuals issued by the Muslim Brotherhood with the stated organizational mission to takeover the USA and democracy with the absolute supremacy of Sharia Law. All of this has been documented in the Holy Land Foundation court files.

    Behind closed doors, 85+% of Muslim organizations are telling their followers to deceive the non-Islamic peoples and so they can gradually gain Sharia through the American court system… with option to overtake people by violence. This is no joke. The 85% plus and their objectives are all documented… not in just one case, but all over the freaking place. You just have to open your eyes… and study up on the Threat of Sharia Law in the United States.

    I hope this pans out this time. Pamela Geller just wrote that this
    “Pete King” caved under pressure and called off his hearings.
    Let’s cross our fingers.

    They do not come any better than Gohmert either, he means this- what a team Zip named when it comes to this, West, King and him …totally rich.

    Looking forward to these…hope to catch them all if and when…more like when.

    Sharia is on the way, if we do not call it what it is. The Lib’s will lead us to the slaughter if we do not stop their stupid bull shit. They do not read history and when they see some history that does not agree with them, they rewrite it.

    If the Muslims take over liberals, you will not be rewriting Jack Shit! You will have no say in any decision making process, you will be a slave to Islam.

    “fortunately, this Muslim goat fucking will do everything to make America a more free, secure, and just society.”

    I applaud any action taken to publicize all threats from islam but so far, every so-called champion of American freedom has buckled under threats from islam. Unfortunately, I don’t this time will be any different. Where have all our heroes gone?
