Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

French government uses Islamic jurisprudence to calculate housing benefits for Muslims

Feb 17, 2018 9:20 am By Robert Spencer

“On the official website of the CAF, the government mentions a form of Islamic jurisprudence known as ‘Kafala’ as being valid alongside other documents to prove guardianship of children, leading some to question if the government is following Islamic law.”

There isn’t really any question about it: if the French government treats kafala as valid to establish guardianship of children, then it is accepting Sharia in this instance, and paving the way for more capitulation to Sharia. Future generations of free French, if there are any, will curse the names of Hollande and Macron and the rest for what they did to their country.

“French Government Accused of Following Islamic Law When Calculating Housing Benefits for Muslims,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 16, 2018:

The French government has been accused of following Islamic law, specifically one which designates guardianship of children, to determine housing benefits for Muslims.

The French housing benefit, known as CAF, is calculated on a number of factors, including the income of a household and how many children live in a household.

On the official website of the CAF, the government mentions a form of Islamic jurisprudence known as “Kafala” as being valid alongside other documents to prove guardianship of children, leading some to question if the government is following Islamic law.

Anti-Islamisation Front National MP Gilbert Collard questioned the French state giving legal legitimacy to what he called a “Quranic judgement”.

Describing Kafala as “totally foreign to any French legal norm” and arguing that such judgements are “directly derived from the Quranic law”, Collard asked the French Justice Ministry how Quranic law held any force in France.

Fellow Front National member and MEP Bernard Monot also questioned whether or not the policy was a sign of Islamisation.

French left-wing newspaper Libération put out an article to “fact-check” the claims of the Front National politicians and found that the French government does accept Kafala documents from countries like Algeria and Morocco in North Africa because such judgements have legal standing in those countries….

      I hope the French government is also giving generous housing benefits to faiths of Judeo-Christian beliefs.

    Good work from Front National MP Gilbert Collard, and MEP Bernard Monot, in exposing this example of ‘creeping sharia’.

    What was that you were saying about ‘reorganizing’ the practice of Islam in France, M. Macron…?

    Mr Spencer, your hatred towards muslims and Islam shut your eyes from reality. France and other western have been applying sharia to their muslim citizens on personal mattera like family and guardianship or kafala. Do you want such laws to be repealed ?

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Feb 17, 2018 at 10:16 am

      Sharia is backward and barbaric, and has no place in civilised society.

      All sharia courts should be shut down, and all accommodations – such as this example – cease.

      ONE LAW FOR ALL. NO PARALLEL SYSTEMS. If Muslims don’t like it, they can pack their bags.

      • Ibrahim itace muhammed says

        Feb 17, 2018 at 12:06 pm

        Stellasaidso, you are simply an ignorant. The common law concepts in most juridictions in the West originated from sharia. See an article by John makdisi published in law journal of North Carolina university.what Will you do ?

          Now as for Ibrahim’s brain, it’s not a gun but rather more like a dull sword that’s been used for hacking through concrete. He know he’s not able to cut you with it so he figures he will just bludgeon you to death.

          The connections between Sicily and England are very tenuous Ibrahim. It’s not like England didn’t have a well developed legal system of it’s own, including Greek and Roman concept of Jury Trials.

          Have you read that long essay by Makdisi, Ibrahim?

    • Westman says

      Feb 17, 2018 at 11:56 am

      Ibrahim, you seem completely unaware that no law of Islam is a legal civil law in the West. France is using Kafala, as a reference in making a decision, not as a law.

      As for the Sharia courts, yes, these centers of misogyny should never have been allowed and many operate without the knowledge or sanction of government. They are religious courts, not enshrined in civil law, and their decisions on property and parental rights are challengeable under civil law. They only work when the participants agree to the findings or are too afraid to challenge them.

      And being too afraid to challenge Sharia courts points to the core ugliness of Islam – bullying its women, forbidding (fill in here) to unbelievers, and threatening death for leaving Islam.

      As we watch the Olympics it is very obvious that Islam produces very little where it rules. Tribalism, scaled up, is a poor competitor. There is another spectre that merits observation: Turkey sliding back into the abyss as it gives up secularism. We shall all observe the reality of Islam’s fruits.

      • StellaSaidSo says

        Feb 17, 2018 at 12:59 pm

        ‘…the reality of Islam’s fruits.’

        Islam has brought nothing positive to the world. Its ‘fruits’ are invariably rotten.

        Excellent post, Westman.

      No to islam AND sharia! They’re both *evil* to the core!

      The appalling Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      Mr Spencer, your hatred towards muslims and Islam shut your eyes from reality. France and other western have been applying sharia to their muslim citizens on personal mattera like family and guardianship or kafala. Do you want such laws to be repealed ?
      ……………………………..

      Ibrahim itace muhammed is demanding that we house Muslims, and that we do it on the basis of barbaric Shari’ah law.

      This covers such appalling issues as Muslim children not being able to be adopted and for Muslim men to take custody of even young children away from their mothers on a whim. Ugly stuff.

      And no–despite what the dishonest Ibrahim itace muhammed would have you believe, Shari’ah law is *not* the law of the land anywhere in the West.

      More:

      Stellasaidso, you are simply an ignorant. The common law concepts in most juridictions in the West originated from sharia. See an article by John makdisi published in law journal of North Carolina university.what Will you do ?
      ……………………………..

      This is, of course, revisionist history. Shari’ah law has *none* of the hallmarks of civilized Western law, such as equality before the law.

      Has Ibrahim itace muhammed asked himself why civilized Westerners do not cut off the limbs of petty thieves, murder apostates, and stone rape victims to death? No–of course he doesn’t.

      Here’s a start countering this claptrap from the Gates of Vienna:

      http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-sharia-basis-for-english-common-law.html

      Yet more:

      stellasaidso, Satan (holy spirit) has brought nothing to you apart from evil and darkedness where he made you to revive Stone age way of life appearing half-naked líke monkeys.
      ……………………………..

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has said this before–that protecting women and children from rape and unbelievers from being slaughtered by Muslims is “stone age way of life like monkeys”.

      He much prefers child marriage, the enslavement of women, and organized oppression and murder of Infidels. *Ugh*.

    When you move into a country, you should abide their laws. It makes not sense that you should be able to bring your own laws with you.

    ÉGALITÉ???? What ‘égalité’??? France is based on EQUALITY, but Islam is based on IN-EQUALITY.

    Islam is INCOMPATIBLE with French values of liberty, equality and fraternity.

    The Wall Street Journal published the concept of blood money in Saudi Arabia. If a person has been killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or compensation, as follows.
    100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
    50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
    50,000 riyals if a Christian man
    25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
    6,666 riyals if a Hindu man
    3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman
    According to this hierarchy, a Muslim man’s life is worth 33 times that of a Hindu woman. This hierarchy is based on the Islamic definition of human rights and is rooted in the Quran and Sharia (Islamic law). How can we talk of democracy when the concept of equality in Islam is nonexistent?
    Inequality is a basic concept of Islam.

    • Westman says

      Feb 17, 2018 at 5:45 pm

      Yes, and that inequality is based in Supremist doctrine from Allah, the champion supremist and sadistic torturer.

    When Europe is no longer European, who will support European values?
    European values are, and will be, replaced with Islamic values.
    Muslims flee the consequences of Islamic values by the tens of millions.
    But they do not flee the values themselves. They bring the values with them.

    • Westman says

      Feb 17, 2018 at 5:57 pm

      There is some hope, Brane. More than 40% of Europe’s Muslims do not attend the mosque.

    Feb 17, 2018 at 4:39 pm

    two sets of laws means islamic takeover is happening slowly, but will happen????

  8. WPM says

    Feb 17, 2018 at 8:51 pm

    The trouble is the other 60 percent make life hell for the other Moslems who want to leave the faith and make it hell for us unbelievers .When their numbers grow they push their political power and bully other in their Moslem community to go along with their plan .Changing or ignoring the law or with no enforcing by local authorities of the law sows seeds for contempt a silent Jihad the Moslems who do not go to Mosque can easily keep quiet about. I am not a lawyer ,but without equal law for all citizens in a country tribal infighting of how to run things courts , police, government take over.

    • gravenimage says

      Grimly true.

    This is creeping Sharia. It may not seem like much, but this is truly dangerous. Conquered people submit to the laws of the conqueror. Its time all non- Muslims wake up.

    Every time you give the parallel society space and accept its rules, freedom and democracy take a step back. And there’s no wall in your back to stop you from doing so, there’s an abyss.
