U.S. court rejects Muslim’s demand to use Shariah

Man said all parties in case were of same faith, so state should apply Islamic law
Published: 08/10/2016 Bob Unruh
A state court in Minnesota, which already is heavily influenced by a large population of Muslim immigrants and has one district represented in Congress by a Muslim, has decided that in America, it’s American inheritance law that applies.
The recent ruling from the Court of Appeals affirmed a Hennepin County District Court decision that the widow, Nariman Sirag Elsayed Khalil, of a taxi driver who died in an accident should be the one to benefit from a $183,000 settlement over her husband’s death.
It was the cab driver’s brother who argued in court that Islamic law should apply, so that the widow of Nadir Ibrahim Ombabi would only get 25 percent of the wrongful death settlement, 16.7 percent should go to his mother’s estate and the rest to Ombabi’s siblings, “with the males to receive ‘twice the share of the female.'”
The opinion, which was marked “unpublished” and not to be used for citation, involved the claim of Hosameldin Ibrahim Imbabi of Gold River, California.

Will do further research to determine where sharia law has been upheld and rejected in US courts.
Screw that sharia crap!!
Has the Congress just quit ??? I guess so. Washington, DC is TOTALLY out of control. Keep your powder dry.
Vultures!..........
Cowards
Although the decision is unpublished and not binding precedent, it can certainly be used as a “persuasive” decision in future cases where attempts to mandate Sharia “law” are used.
I don’t understand how sharia law is allowed in England.
Clintoon will be shorting out over this one. She likes Shariah.
For now
You picked right up on that.
My sentiments Exactly!

I don't get British humor either. They must rise from the same source.
I did get Bennie Hill, but he’s in disgrace these days (too unPC).
Oh Hey. I forgot about him.
And pitchforks sharp!!!!!
A bit surprising, in that this comes from Minnesota - not exactly a bastion of conservative thought.
**U.S. court rejects Muslim’s demand to use Shariah **
Good. If they live in the U. S. then they are subject to U. S. law, period!
If democrats think it is fair game to try to “trap” Christian politician’s views regarding particular Bible verses, or abortion, then it is fair game to ask the same questions about sharia and democrat policy. Hillary invites sharia proponents to her rallies, so what is her opinion of this case?
They rejected it....this time.
There will come a day when US Courts authorize the use of Shariah though.
Thanks for voting for it by the way. LOL! :)
We loved Bennie Hill and also some other one called Are You Being Served, or something like that. Wish Bennie was still on.
I recently read an article about him
He got destroyed by political correctness, and died a lonely death.
In England now he’s like Amos ‘n Andy is here.
