Baltimore County school board member Maggie Litz Domanowski posts a Peanuts cartoon. Linus’s sign said: “If you fear MAGA will take away women’s rights, then you should learn about Sharia law.” She adds three words: “not wrong.”
Next: CAIR Maryland emails her. Take it down. Apologize. Acknowledge “harm.” Reaffirm every student’s “equal dignity and safety.” Or resign.
She deletes the meme and posts on Facebook. She tries to split the difference: the post “could have been interpreted as suggesting that Sharia represents all Muslims. That would be inaccurate.” She calls Sharia a broad religious, ethical, and legal framework and names specific regimes - Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi guardianship, Iran, the Taliban. This is not enough for Terrorist-tied CAIR
CAIR Maryland director Zainab Chaudry tells the room: taking the meme down is “welcome.” The rest is “not an apology.” Criticizing the Taliban is allowed. Naming Sharia is “disinformation,” a “political scare tactic.” Sharia, she says, is prayer, fasting, charity - like halacha or canon law.
The price: a “direct apology” that does not “shift responsibility onto those who were harmed.” Visit a mosque. “If you refuse, then there should be consequences.” (IS THIS AMERICA???)
That comparison is the lie. Canon law is for Catholics that CHOOSE to obey it. Halacha, for Jews in America, runs a community that ALSO choose to obey it and to what degree. Neither is the criminal code of Baltimore Co. Neither assigns the unbeliever a penalty. Neither’s founder was a head of state writing war, tax, and apostasy into the same book as prayer.
Sharia is not just fasting. In the countries that enforce it, it is law and it governs women. Pretending otherwise hides the code. Calling a board member a bigot for pointing that out is the campaign.
After their relentless attacks on her, Domanowski breaks...They film her visibly upset saying, “Hearing it from your voices and seeing your faces, I understand now. And I am truly sorry.” She accepts the mosque visit. “I’m looking forward to understanding the Muslim community more than just [Sharia] law.”
