suspended Judge Jeanine Pirro for asking a fair question: Is Sharia Law compatible with the
United States Constitution? This isn’t just about immigration or Sharia Law. It’s
yet another indication that we are losing our free speech. (And Fox seems
determined to circle the drain; they just hired Donna Brazile.)
Here’s some reporting from Flopping Aces:
Sharia Law may become the third
rail of America politics if one is to judge by the suspension/cancellation for
at least one episode of Judge Jeanine’s weekend Fox News show “Justice with
Judge Jeanine. A cowardly Fox News has extended the protective canopy of
political correctness apparently barring its hosts from asking the tough and
obvious questions about a doctrine few non-Muslims are aware of and few
Americans understand.
. . .
Pirro’s March 9 comment [was] about Rep.
Ilhan Omar ( D-Minn.), who wears a hijab, a traditional head covering worn by
Muslim women.“Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her
adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States
Constitution?”
. . .
A question that deserves to be
asked and answered. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has in the past observed
that those who follow Sharia law can’t also be loyal to the U.S., Constitution
and the Western values it represents, and either shouldn’t be allowed to enter
the U.S. or should be deported from it, much less serve in its legislative
assemblies.
Full report with links is here. Fox is losing credibility, and viewers are turning the channel - sometimes to Fox Business, also to OAN. Or to talk radio. Or to the conservative blogosphere - which is also encountering censorship, de-platforming, etc.
