Ex Hamas-linked CAIR official a presidential candidate in Egypt...what could go wrong?

He only wants to complete the implementation of Islamic law, doncha know.  And as we have seen, a little sharia goes a long way.

Stand by for the new Islamic Egypt, coming soon to the world stage.

Egyptian Presidential Candidate Bassem Khafaji Pledges to "Complete the Implementation of Islamic Law in Egypt"
Following are excerpts from Egyptian presidential candidate Bassem Khafaji, which aired on Al-Nas TV on March 7, 2012:

Bassem Khafaji: Let me tell you, in all honesty, that as a Muslim Egyptian, I am convinced of [the need to] complete the implementation of Islamic law in Egypt. I do not hide this truth in any way, because it is in keeping with the inclination of the Egyptian people.

We Egyptians – both Muslims and non-Muslims – refer to the shari'a in many things. I often ask people: How did you get married? Wasn't it according to the shari'a, regardless of whether you are Muslim or not? Weren't you married in accordance with your religion? When somebody in our family dies, how we inherit him? Not in accordance with the shari'a?

No [candidate] should say that he is coming to implement the shari'a, because part of it has already been implemented. What the Egyptian people want is to complete this implementation. As president, I will personally assist in the completion of the correct implementation of the shari'a, by consulting the experts [in Islamic law].

At least he is honest about what his plans are.  When I say that Egypt is heading towards sharia I am called a Islamophobe.  A double standard at work when it comes to Islam.  

Read, and watch it all
