		<description><![CDATA[This petition aestts the government should intercede on behalf of Sayed Pervez Kambaksh to prove that the government respects human rights and freedom of expression. Where do they get the idea that a state with a democratically created constitutional clause expressly stating sharia trumps all law - respects &#039;human rights and freedom of expression&quot;?Sayed is a honorary distinction carried by direct decendants of the Prophet Muhammad.  He is muslim, as proven in this letter written on his behalf by CPJ:As a good muslim, he must accept sharia law.  Our soldiers liberated Afghanistan from Taliban oppression only to have this newly liberated population democratically establish their own oppressive, sharia compliant  regime, thanks to George &quot;Islam-is-a-religion-of peace&quot; Bush.  Until we come to our senses and  accept the fact that there is no such thing as a moderate islam,and finally ban sharia - we simply aid and abet this heinous activity.As much as things change, they stay the same.  For instance, read this famous quote from : &quot;Considered as a nation, they are deplorably wretched, because they have no property in the soil to inspire an ambition to cultivate it. They are abject slaves to the despotism of their government, and they are humiliated by tyranny, the worst of all tyrannies, the despotism of priestcraft. They live in more solemn fear of the frowns of a bigot who has been dead and rotten above a thousand years, than of the living despot whose frown would cost them their lives... The ignorance, superstitious tradition and civil and religious tyranny, which depress the human mind here, exclude improvement of every kind…&quot; - William Eaton, US Consul to Tunis, 1799My compassion ends at the threshold of Islam.  Anyone, of any age or sex, who holds Muhammad as his Prophet, uswa hasana al insan al kamil, - and all that stands for - is not worth my time, consideration or effort. I will not sign this petition out of utter contempt for sharia.]]></description>
