Would the situation really be worse than it is now if, instead of all this money spent on Sharia, the U.S. had stood up for its own values, and made it clear that money would only flow to those who stood for the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and equality of rights of all people before the law?
“Watchdog: U.S. Taxpayers Funded Development of Sharia Law System in Afghanistan,” by Edwin Mora, Breitbart, July 8, 2015:
The U.S. government has spent more than $1 billion in American taxpayer funds on programs to develop the rule of law in Afghanistan, including efforts to improve a judicial system that incorporates Islamic Sharia law, reports a watchdog agency appointed by Congress.
According to the watchdog agency known as the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the Departments of Defense (DOD), Justice (DOJ), State (State), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have spent more than $1 billion since 2003 on at least 66 completed and ongoing programs aimed at developing the rule of law in Afghanistan.
“This effort has focused on areas such as the judicial system, corrections system (detention centers and prisons), informal justice system, legislative reform, legal education, public outreach, and anticorruption efforts,” explains SIGAR.
Citing the U.S. Army’s Center for Law and Military Operations’ Rule of Law Handbook, John Sopko, SIGAR’s inspector general, reports that the legal system in Afghanistan consists of two separate judicial systems that coexist — a formal and an informal system, both of which incorporate Sharia law.
The formal system of law is “practiced by state authorities relying on a mixture between the civil law and elements of Islamic Sharia law,” notes Sopko in the report, while the informal legal system is “based on customary tribal law and local interpretations of Islamic Sharia law.”
“Experts we consulted describe a complex legal system in Afghanistan that incorporates hundreds of years of informal traditions, Islamic Sharia law, former Soviet judicial practices during the 1980s, and modern Western influence since the fall of the Taliban in 2001,” he adds.
A portion of the more than $1 billion spent on rule of law development efforts has been devoted to improving the formal and informal systems in Afghanistan that incorporate Sharia law.
SIGAR does note that “because DOD, DOJ, State, and USAID did not systematically measure and report on their programs’ achievements, it remains unclear what overall outcomes and impact have resulted from the expenditure of more than $1 billion to develop the rule of law in Afghanistan.”…

Thanks to their Muslim leader in the White House !
Pathfinder0100 says
Yes nicu–other than their vacations and golf most of the taxpayer’s money he has spent is to benefit Islam. Where is the outrage and outcry?? Does anyone really care?? I don’t know anymore!!
John Sobieski says
A billion to support Sharia law….9 billion to compensate victims of 9/11 initially and just recently a huge amount to cover the health of first responders for 25 years…billions to pay for all the guards watching the power substation across this land….welfare for migrants from the Islamic wars everywhere….Islam is destroying itself and us along with it by depleting our financial resources,,,,while Turkey just spent $100,000,000 to build the Islamic mosque in Lanham Maryland to proselytize more converts in this country while Western Civ pays to care for all the Muslims trying to escape other Muslims.
Porky The Crusader says
Disgusting!!! And i’m very nice here.
Don McKellar says
One wonders if the American Taxpayer has spent more money to advance the Death Cult of the Moongod than any moslems have? Sure, that’s a billion dollars to build a cohesive sharia law system to keep down women, imprison and murder apostates, persecute other religions, and imprisonment and death sentences for gays and those who “insult” Islam. But think of all the other billions spent to get into that position in the first place. Not even that piece of human garbage saudi prince can beat the American Taxpayers’ contributions under George the Idiot/Barrack bin Obama!

Absolutely! But where are the American people? Where is the outrage, demands for impeachment, mob protests at the WH, etc etc

Hmmm, I wonder if this will be an issue on the ’16 debates?

More terrifying than anything else is where all this money is coming from.
The money you are talking about is being spun from thin air Robert.
The US Federal Reserve has taken the US currency into infinity
As has the European Centeral Bank taken the European currency into infinity.
They have realized that you don’t need to have jobs & taxes just print the currency, or even worse put it up on the computer screen & spend, spend, spend.
THEY ARE MAD WITH IT
NO ONE HAS CALLED THEM OUT ON IT SO THEY DON’T SEE THE HARM.
Only fear kept the Reserve Bank of Australia from going to infinity but we are definately close.
The currency is worthless Robert.
Why has no one asked
“WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM”
Westman says
“A billion here, a billion there; after a while it starts to add up to real money.”

Letter to Amnesty Internationl Facebook Page 7-11-15
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor….America Went to War. When they attacked us on 9/11 and murdered over 3000 of our fellow Americans….we didn’t go to war. Sons and fathers volunteered for service. We attacked Afghanistan when we should have landed with both feet on Saudi Arabia. We attacked Afghanistan, then a few years later Americans have forgotten about a crime that almost made Pearl Harbor pale to insignificance, as if it never happened and we’ve actually ended up apologizing to our enemy and allowed him to infiltrate and subvert all our schools and universities and all levels of government.
This should be no holds bar. And the media should keep their filthy liberal noses out of the military’s business or face long years in prison for treason.
This current administration is giving aid and comfort and collaborating with our enemies. We have purged all things “Islam” not only from the government lexicon but out of all training materials having to do with terrorism. Where is the safest place in America if you’re a terrorist and an enemy of America? A mosque. We have an official hands-off policy when it comes to mosques.

Comment on Yahoo article:
Everyone should read Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks and Cronies by Michelle Malkin
I’m reading some articles in The Good News, a Christian Magazine. It talks about the Greatest Generation and the importance of families. It came in the mail today. It’s incredible. For the last few days I’ve been harping on the fact that I grew up surrounded by and influenced by the Greatest Generation. (Almost too late; I was a hippie.) And also the fact that we’ve become a Generation of Degenerates. Winston Churchill is one of my favorite people. I’ve got William Manchester’s three volumes of The Last Lion. As well as a book on Eleanor Roosevelt who helped Israel become a state and who also helped create the Declaration of Human rights. (as opposed to the UN supported “Cairo Declaration” of today) The articles are This Was Their Finest Hour by Melvin Rhodes and Character Lessons From the Greatest Generation by Mike Kelley, with quotes from Tom Brokaw’s book.
The liberals are whining every time there’s an “anti-Muslim” movie exposing radical Islam. Once upon a time the word “propaganda” used to have a positive application when applied to movies that helped the war effort. People today can’t comprehend that we’re fighting an enemy with the same ideology as the Nazis who wants to destroy us. And as a matter of fact, helped the Nazis in World War II.
If WWII was Britain’s “Finest Hour”, this is certainly our worst.
“Reply”:
I should have noted that one reason we are the Generation of Degenerates today is because the useful idiots don’t read. We have Amnesty International, whom I used to support, who is totally on board the bandwagon to destroy Israel. It’s just jaw-dropping the bald faced likes they tell about Israeli “war crimes”. But the really jaw-dropping part is the fact that the useful idiots are swallowing this garbage whole. People in America don’t READ! They sit there and absorb the obscenity that passes for journalism today from the AP, CNN and the Huffington Post. To give you an idea of how bad it is Al Jazeera is considered a reliable and legitimate news source when in reality it’s nothing but a mouthpiece for the terror financing country of Qatar and the Muslim Briotherhood.
mortimer says
Developing a complete system of law is good thing to stop the lawlessness and VIGILANTISM plaguing Afghastlistan. They must be dragged kicking and screaming out of the Dark Ages.
UNFORTUNATELY, Sharia contains ideas that IMPLY AND EXCUSE VIGILANTISM. A fair, transparent and UNCORRUPT legal system will be welcomed by all Afghans except the Taliban.

Watchdog: U.S. Taxpayers Funded Development of Sharia Law System in Afghanistan,” by Edwin Mora,
why were we not told this before!
Why so much.
What exactly was it used for ?
Linda Rivera says
Can a human rights organisation sue to get those tax dollars back?
This is what American infidels work hard for every day – to institute sharia in Afghanistan. And to pay for the constant financing, arming and training of barbaric Muslim terrorists.
Is the U.S. sharia-loving government planning to spend more than $1 billion to replace American law with barbaric sharia in America?
Matthieu Baudin says
Terrible to think of proud and decent countries getting into bed with the likes of Sharia.
pongidae rex says
If the USA had done the same thing in WWII that it has done in Iraq and Afghanistan, then Germany would today remain a NAZI state under German National Socialism. This was, of course, before the era of cultural relativity spewed by social science academics. If slaughtering people is part of your religion, then who are we to be so presumptuous as to say there is anything wrong with that?
Susan Story says
W/all the talk about Marshall Law, all of us that our outraged by ALL the laws broken by the president alone, then everything from Ferguson to IRS, VET hospital deaths, Clinton foundation fraud, Bengauzi, black hate crimes Not talked about, & on & on &on, if we the people start protesting we will put Marshall Law in effect & that’s exactly what this administration is hopeing for, every institution that should be doing their jobs & putting these criminals in jail, filing charges against them, calling them out are either being blackmailed/fired, threated, this is truly the most disturbing/discussing thing that could happen to our country and I don’t think we’ve even begun to see the worst. Every country that wants us dead hates homosexuality as much or worse than Christianity so what do we do we legalize gay marriage, that’s just shoveing it in their faces, I wonder if anyone ever thinks about all the consequences for the selfish actions they make, doesn’t seem like it, we will all pay for the Iran deal as well as every selfish act of this administration, God Bless America, because only He can
