Dr. Zuhdi Jasser speaks his mind freely. That does not make him a unique America. Americans speak out regularly against social issues and even against the government. But Jasser is a devout Muslim. And all to often within Muslim society, those speaking out against Radical Islamists are silenced.
Living in America gives Jasser the freedom to speak out against Radicals, and to comment harshly on U.S. government policies, particularly toward the Arab world.
In a recent Op-Ed in the Huffington Post, Jasser takes aim with the new term 'Overseas Contingency Operation,' created by the Obama Administration to refer to the previously named 'War on Terror'.

Among other great points in the article, Jasser does a good job summarizing the differences between Sharia Law and American society.
The Islamic state is a nation-state based upon the premise that the rule of law of the nation is guided by the legal constructs of Shariah. Shariah is the body of laws of Islamic jurisprudence as interpreted and enacted by clerics and scholars (ulemaa) of Islamic law. To Islamists, societies like ours in the United States based in "one law" derived from reason and a human document are an anathema and represent the ideology of "Godlessness."
