Shariah is an Arabic term used to describe Islamic doctrinal law regarded in the Islamic world as immutable, indivisible and mandatory for all Muslims to follow in all aspects of life. Shariah mandates as a religious obligation: Violent jihad against non-Muslims to establish Islam's rule worldwide. The killing of apostates from Islam. The killing of adulterers and homosexuals. Severe discrimination against women, including stoning. Barbaric punishment, such as limb amputations and gouging out of eyes for petty crimes like theft. Severe discrimination against, and the subjugation of, non-Muslims. Last, and most pertinent to this subject, is Shariah mandates that Muslims who cannot engage in physical jihad using force, must support jihad with money. Shariah is at the heart of the ideology of terrorist groups such as al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas and other jihadist organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood and those who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks on American soil and continue to terrorize and threaten Americans and their way of life.
