The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on Fox News to fire host Jeanine Pirro – and wants her show’s advertisers boycotted until it does – after Pirro linked Rep.

(Pirro in fact said that shari’a, not Omar’s head covering, was “antithetical to the U.S. Constitution.”)...
 
Addressing her remarks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Pirro said:
 
“This is not who your party is. Your party is not anti-Israel. She [Omar] is. Think about this. She is not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party. So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from?”
 
“Think about it,” Pirro continued. “Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran, 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to shari’a law, which in itself is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution?”...
 
Critics observe that in countries where shari’a is enforced – for example Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Saudi Arabia – so-called hudud punishments (literally “limitations imposed by Allah”) include stoning, limb amputation and flogging for adultery and theft, and the death penalty for apostasy.
 
A woman’s testimony in court carries half the weight of that of a man. A rape victim in Iran or Saudi Arabia, for example, is required to present four male witnesses to the crime, failing which she can herself be charged with adultery.
 
In some countries where shari’a is enforced, blasphemy against Mohammed is punishable by death, with Pakistan a leading example....
