The Medina Constitution as Presented by MPAC President -and a Refutation by Louis Palme

"A new paradigm of human relations"


On March 9, there was an event at the Islamic Center of Orange County which centered around the Medina Constitution from the time of the Prophet Mohammad. The moderators were Imam Muzammil Siddiqi, head imam of the Islamic Center and former president of the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, and the presenter on the Medina Charter, who was Salam al Marayati, CEO of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, also a Muslim Brotherhood front group. In this presentation, Marayati presents the Medina Charter as some sort of model of equality and rule of law. Marayati also likens the Medina Constitution to the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The video ends with a presentation on ObamaCare.

My friend, Louis Palme, who is an expert on Islam, has presented the below refutation of Marayati's presentation.

As linked above, here is the text of the Medina Constitution:

I do not pretend to know as much on this topic as Palme, but when I hear Marayati's words about the equality and protections for the Jews and see how religious minorities in majority Muslim nations are treated, I find the video laughable. What is boils down to is that as long as the Jews of Medina subjugated themselves and accepted dhimmitude, they would be left alone.
