Sharia USA
By Aynaz Anni Cyrus
Fourteen years ago my life changed forever as I arrived in the United States
, holding tightly to hope and a promise.
That promise was freedom and a dream of a better life.
I entered this beautiful country as a documented immigrant at the age of 18
in August 2002, almost one year after 9/11. After surviving 15 years of
oppression under Sharia in Iran, I felt older than my years. I had seen too
much and I knew all too well the suffering of those who were subjected to
Islam. What I had witnessed and experienced had left my soul weary. But in
America, I felt safe. I was able to breathe, and I could stop looking over
my shoulder and living in fear.
I could now believe in miracles. Here I was, the newest member of the
greatest country in the world. It was my rebirth into freedom. I was in a
new place that viewed me as a human; someone of value to society. Finally,
my life mattered. I was a daughter of liberty; a citizen of the U.S.A.
I’ve never forgotten those who I left behind -- and I have dedicated my
life to them. How could I turn my back on them, when I know all too well the
vicious suffering women endure in Islamic-ruled countries?
At the age of 9, Qur’anic teachings and Islamic traditions forced me into
womanhood. My thoughts, my actions and my life were no longer my own. From
that moment on, I lost all rights as a person, as my instruction in
preparation to marry and bear children became my only purpose in life. No
longer would I be allowed in public without my hijab; prayer and submission
would dominate my days. The life of a carefree child at play came to an
abrupt and sudden end.
For the next 9 years, I would suffer terrible cruelty under Islam. Rape,
lashings, arrests and beatings were my life because I was regarded as
property to be “handled” rather than a human being to be loved. During
those nine years, I was sold into marriage to a much older man who abused me
terribly. A bruised body and broken bones became a common reality for me,
and there was little I could do to stop it. Divorce was not an option.
Islamic law offers women little support in abusive marriages.
I was trapped, like so many other young girls and women around me were. My
silent screams of desperation would remain unheard -- until the day I
decided I would rather die escaping than continue to live my life as a slave.
Fourteen years have now passed since I gained my freedom and began my
mission to help and liberate those still trapped in Islamic countries. I do
my best to be a voice for the voiceless who are still living a nightmare
under the tyrannical rule of Islam.
I also fight for my fellow Americans. The present danger that Islam poses to
this nation is very real, despite what our leftist government and media
would have you believe. And because of the willful blindness and corruption
within our government and media, America is now in grave danger vis-à-vis
Islamic Supremacism and Jihad. I am witness to the hidden war between Islam
and the West, and I see clearly, with great sadness and fear, that we are
losing.
There are those voices amongst us that argue that Sharia is compatible with
American life and can coexist harmoniously alongside the U.S. Constitution.
Sorry, but I know Sharia. I know Islam. The coexistence of Sharia with the U
.S. Constitution is impossible. And it is crucial to crystallize this fact
and to expose exactly what Sharia is because it is now making significant
gains on our territory.
Sharia severely limits individual rights, and every country ruled by Sharia
forces its citizens to adhere to a strict code of living in accordance with
the Qur’an, Hadith and the Supreme leader’s ruling. The concept of free
speech, for instance, is anathema to Islam. So is the notion of the
individual. In Islam, it is “Allah” who dictates and defines the limits on
acceptable and unacceptable actions. In Islam, it is the Qur’an that
dictates the lives of the believers, and they have no freedom of choice in
regard to anything they do.
Sharia denies its followers basic human dignity. In Islamic countries, women
are second-class citizens, mere property, and denied many of the rights
Americans take for granted. The right to initiate divorce, travel alone, or
own property unless permitted by a man is denied to a woman in Islam.
Submission of the individual is also evident in Islam’s denial of freedom
of religion. Under Sharia, you must practice Islam. Anyone born in an
Islamic country is, by law, a Muslim, regardless of heritage. Attempting to
change your faith is punishable by death.
In my homeland, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sharia is the law of the land.
To speak out against it has dire consequences. Because of Sharia, Iran has
one of the highest number of executions in the world. Reports and evidence
of crimes against humanity come out of the Islamic Republic daily, many from
released prisoners and their families. Patterns of torture, abuse and
death of political prisoners are an undeniable truth.
I am saying all of this because today, as I look at what is happening in
America, I see our freedom gravely threatened. Islam is at war with us, and
it will stop at nothing in its deliberate and sustained attack on our
freedoms. Islamization of the West is occurring at a very fast pace and one
of the vehicles Supremacists are using to achieve it is the flooding of
Western countries with Muslim refugees. Islamic Obama has opened the
floodgates and Hillary intends to escalate the process.
Our leadership and media, meanwhile, perpetrate the lie that accepting these
refugees is somehow about tolerance. It is not about tolerance — it is
about our values being exploited by our enemies to assist us in cultural
suicide and leaving ourselves vulnerable to jihadist attacks.
The dire danger to America lies in the lies told by our leftist government
and media and the ignorance of many Americans about Islam’s true character
and purpose. I fear that Americans have become blind to how precious and
rare freedom is and how it must be protected and fought for without pause. I
can’t help but fear that what is coming to America is what came to my
homeland in 1979 -- and I refuse to be silenced again. And because I refuse
to be silent today, I know that certain Islamic forces have targeted me. But
I will continue to speak out.
I tell you these things not to gain your sympathy, but to help you
understand that our freedom is under fire. Our country is headed down a very
dangerous path. The Left has succeeded in making resistance to Islamization
appear to be racism and hatred. We must fight this malicious lie. We must
fight to become well-informed and educated about Islam in order to defeat
leftist and Islamist propaganda. By remaining silent, being afraid to be
called names and ignoring reality, we will be surrendering our freedoms to
the enemy.
Time is short. Every day that passes is one day we cannot spare. My hope for
freedom and a better life was realized when I stepped on American soil
fourteen years ago. But what frightens me is that the pernicious evil I
escaped from is now coming here. I see it with my own eyes – and,
catastrophically, this nation is sleepwalking like a zombie into disaster. I
will not allow my freedom to be taken away again without fighting till my
last breath. I hope my fellow Americans who love their country as much as I
do will join me and other freedom fighters in our battle to save it.
