Many good people from the Garden State do not care for the show “The Jersey Shore” because it makes people from Jersey look like, well, idiots.
Governor Christie even went so far as to complain this weekend about the show saying to Jake Tapper on ABC’s This Week that “reality series doesn’t represent ‘the real New Jersey.’”
If I were from NJ (I dodged that bullet when my NYC born parents chose Long Island over Jersey in the early ‘60s) I would be embarrassed too. But not just from “The Jersey Shore.” There is someone making Jersey look even worse than JWoww and Snooki. It is “The Jersey Sharia.”
A judge in New Jersey excused the rape of a woman by her husband because Sharia law says its ok. The judge stated in his ruling:
“This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”
If I were from Jersey I would be a lot more embarrassed by this travesty than by Snooki’s poof.
Fortunately, for the sake of justice, sanity, and the victim, an appellate court overturned the absurd ruling.
As the judge recognized, the case thus presents a conflict between the criminal law and religious precepts. In resolving this conflict, the judge determined to except defendant from the operation of the State’s statutes as the result of his religious beliefs. In doing so, the judge was mistaken.
Hey, Jersey has been the butt of many jokes over the years. But if sharia law takes hold there, people will be asking “What exit?” for a completely different reason.

Until people are educated about Islam and Sharia Law, I fear this will keep occuring in America. Fortunately, Oklahoma has noticed and has a ballot initiative in November to ban Sharia. Our Federal Government however, is decidedly going the other direction by appointing a Sharia-compliant Finance Specialist to serve as a White House Fellow. Her name is Samar Ali. This is all being orchestrated by Obama. I am frightened by the velocity of the “stealth Jihad” that is being perpetrated on our country.
This is yet another example of the fear too many people experience when dealing with a minority group. That same fear led to the Texas massacre. In that case, signs of trouble were evident well in advance of the tragedy that unfolded. But everyone was numbed into silence by fear of being accused of Islamophobia. Respect for minorities must never be done at the cost of what we know is right.
My Representative is still trying to get Sharia Law banned in N.C. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t Sharia also have “honor killing”? In the U.S., it is against the law to kill—-just as our ten commandments tell us. The immigrants years ago in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s acclimated themselves to the American way of living and so should our new immigrants. I am proud that my parents did. No one should use their religion to go against the laws of our Country. I too, worry about what Pres. Obama is doing to our country. In a democracy, the majority rules and he has not learned that yet.
No true “religion” is abusive. The purpose of religion is to promote love, caring and kindness…NOT to promote sex…at any time. THAT is called “victimization”..And I don’t give a fat rat’s A** whether the Muslims like what I am saying or not..!
How right you are Mia Archer! Short and to the point—you are my kind of gal.
Jesus taught us how to live and IT IS WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS!
In my opinion if Moslems want to live by Sharia Law there is an excellent country called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that exercises sharia law very well. By the way it is underpopulated and has a lot of space. There should be no room for it on our country. Moslems should be given the choice either accept our Christian way of life and be partners to enjoy our freedom or go to Moslem countries and live there their way of life let them try it. If we are not careful they will take advantage of our freedom and Christian way of life because they can’t live in any Moslem country as free as they live here. They will live under oppression. Read about Pakistan,Bangladesh,Indonesia,Afghanistan and many others.
Push comes to shove and Sharia law begins to insinuate itself too far into mainstream culture (such as it is…) in NJ, my money’s on the Tony Sopranos, who really DO exist in Jersey over some morals-police dude.
People from Jersey get slammed a lot, but at the end of the day, they see some woman getting beat up by some d-bag, they beat the freakin’ crap out of the d-bag and don’t even feel bad about it for a minute.
OTOH, what are these women thinking? LEAVE THESE MEN ALREADY!!!!
If you’re dumb enough to marry someone who believes crap like that, you deserve what you get after a while.
If you personally don’t believe what this husband believes, you have no business being his wife. Leave. Get thee to a shelter, get a job, and take the creep to court and get half his stuff.
I am a Muslim.
Was the rapist punished at the end? I follow Sharia law in the USA, please end the answer in my personal address.
Another expression of legitimizing violence in Islam’s name is Sharia law.
