Gingrich Warns of Sharia While Seeking Dominion
Submitted by Kyle on July 28, 2010
Last week, when Newt Gingrich came out in opposition to the "Ground Zero Mosque,"
I noted that his position seemed rather hypocritical considering that he had recently founded an organization called Renewing American Leadership that has, as its mission, the protection and encouragement of the free exercise of religion in America.
But the hypocrisy at the root of that piece pales in comparison to the hypocrisy at the root of
his latest piece:
Radical Islamism is more than simply a religious belief. It is a comprehensive political, economic, and religious movement that seeks to impose sharia—Islamic law—upon all aspects of global society.

Some radical Islamists use terrorism as a tactic to impose sharia but others use non-violent methods—a cultural, political, and legal jihad that seeks the same totalitarian goal even while claiming to repudiate violence.
Does Gingrich not realize that the man he hired to run Renewing American Leadership, Jim Garlow, is a
full-bore advocate of the 7 Mountains Mandate, which is a Dominionist theology that seeks get Christians in control of the levers of power and influence the world over so as to create God's kingdom on Earth and bring about the return of Jesus Christ?
Taking control of the 7 Mountians is the foundational principal of Garlow's new
Pray and ACT political organization, which is being prominently featured by
Gingrinch's own ReAL website and has the support of a who's who of Religious Right leaders...

Obviously, these leaders and this Dominionist theology do not advocate the use of violence to achieve their goals, but you have to marvel at Gingrich's willingness to warn that "Islamists" are seeking to impose their religious views on all cultural, political, and legal matters while
his very own organization is seeking to do the exact same thing.
