According to President Barack Obama's advisor Dalia Mogahed, sharia law is misunderstood. No word yet, from feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

I don't know how you "misunderstand" stoning a woman to death or chopping off someone's hand, but Mogahed says it's actually "justice for women." Now that's just plain moonbat crazy!

Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party.

The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world.

They called for Sharia Law to be "the source of legislation" and said that women should not be "permitted to hold a position of leadership in government".

She said: "I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media.

"The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance.

It also includes the controversial "Hadd offences", crimes with specific penalties set by the Koran and the sayings of the prophet Mohammed. These include death by stoning for adultery and homosexuality and the removal of a hand for theft.

Miss Mogahed admitted that even many Muslims associated Sharia with "maximum criminal punishments" and "laws that... to many people seem unequal to women," but added: "Part of the reason that there is this perception of Sharia is because Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith is not well understood."

During this week's broadcast, she described her White House role as "to convey... to the President and other public officials what it is Muslims want."

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, said Miss Mogahed was “downplaying” Sharia Law.

“There is a reason sharia has got a bad name and it is how it has been exercised. Regrettably in the US there have been acts of injustice perpetrated against women that are driven by the Sharia-type mindset that women are objects not human beings,” she said.

She cited the example of Muzzammil Hassan, a Buffalo man who ran a cable channel aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes and was charged earlier this year with beheading his wife after she filed for divorce.

HERE'S ANOTHER OBAMANISTA WHO'S GOTTA GO: SHARIA APPEASER DALIA MOGAHED

I wonder what Obama's Women's Issues Czar will have to say about this?

F*@K THIS S#%T

Sharia law isn't 'misunderstood'; anybody with a brain understands its purpose all too well. And, I ask again, WTF is this moron doing advising the President?

You know, I never thought that this Administration would be very memorable--or particularly competent; but Obama and his merry band of extremist lunatics have turned into an absolute nightmare. His appointments and "advisors" are terrifying when you consider that they represent the philosophy and views of the effing President of the US. Geez. Unbelievable.

Obama's Muslim adviser says Sharia "misunderstood"

Yes, all that hand-chopping and stoning really isn't all that bad, if you look at it from the right perspective. Dalia Mogahed, you may recall, along with John Esposito cooked the data from a global survey of Muslim attitudes in order to increase the number of Muslim "moderates" -- classifying people as "moderate" who hate America, want to impose Sharia, and support suicide bombing.

Here's some gender justice straight out of the Koran. The Koran likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will" (2:223).

The Koran also declares that a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man ...

It allows men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls ...

It rules that a son's inheritance should be twice the size of that of a daughter ...

Worst of all, the Koran tells husbands to beat their disobedient wives ...

Still no word from feminist icon Gloria Steinem.
