Rabbi Arthur Waskow, the well known Rabbi who is founder and director of New York’s Shalom Center, has this week condemned what he calls the Catholic Church’s ‘outrageous attempt to impose sharia law on the US government and the American public.’

Writing in the Huffington Post, Waskow, one of the twenty most influential Rabbis in the nation, clarifies that he is not speaking of Muslim sharia, but what he calls a Roman Catholic equivalent ‘sharia’ with regard to contraception.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is trying to impose on Americans of all faiths and beliefs who happen to work in Catholic-sponsored hospitals or university throughout the nation, Waskow claims.

Muslims have not been campaigning to impose sharia law on U.S. courts he continues, yet they have had to listen to various Republican candidates for President condemn non-existent attempts to impose sharia on the U.S. public, meanwhile, actual attempts at doing this are ongoing by the Catholic bishops, Waskow contends.
