Breitbart notes that Sherman Jackson (aka Abdal Hakim Jackson), “an Islamic fundamentalist who rejects any acceptance of homosexual sex” and who “defended jihad and pre-modern Islamic punishments,” opened the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. Jackson holds the King Faisal Chair in Islamic Thought and Culture at the University of Southern California and, as Campus Watch has pointed out, he advocates implementing sharia (Islamic) law in America, including barbaric practices such as stoning, flogging, and amputation.
Of all the speakers to pick in order to prove their diversity, they found not a moderate Muslim to represent America’s Muslims, but a fire-breathing Islamist who champions severe punishments of sharia.
