Isn’t this grounds for impeachment?
Maybe the judge got so wrapped up in the case that he forgot what country he was in ....
And then again under Islamic Law you can just agree to disagree and then decapitate each other.
Please.
If they wanted to use Islamic law to settle the dispute, they should have never taken to a US court, they should have taken it to one of their religious leaders.
The judge in this case is simply applying the same principle to the Mohammedans that US Courts have used for years in dealing with Christian Churches.
There is long standing recognition of ecclesiastical autonomy in dealing with internal church matters. For example, the Roman Catholic church has its own legal system, complete with Canon Law and Canon Lawyers.
On the other hand, if someone were to argue that Mohammedanism is not a bona fide religion, but rather a murderous, cultic, death worshiping socio/political movement, which should not be afforded protection of US Law under any premise, then I’d say you had more of a solid case.
But, given the assumption that they have religious standing, this judge’s ruling was absolutely correct.
This is nothing new, and is not creeping Sharia. This is simply a doctrine that allows courts to take a pass on getting involved in religious matters. It’s good that everyone is on the lookout, but this doesn’t seem to be a departure from our legal tradition.
He is enforcing the terms of a contract between consenting parties, in this case a Board of Directors.
The fact that one faction of the parties changed their minds doesn't change the contract.
Don't enter into a contract you don't intend to honor.
Islamic law instead of state or federal statutes in determining whether an “arbitration” award was correct,........................... Isn’t arbitration non judicial? Decided by a panel of uninterested parties? Sounds fishy.
You’re a bunch of stupid, ignorant racists and I’ll do whatever I want.
Now pay your taxes - I need a raise. :)
-judge’s defense
Why can’t we use American law to overturn his decision and remove him from the bench.
DumbA** Judge.
Once it gets used/incorporated, then it becomes precedent — and can be applied to future cases/courts.
Idiot Judge — or maybe that was the intent.

As I’ve observed before, it’s just like professional wrestling. We have several “angles” going at once, each with its own “heels.” We have the islamic “angle,” the Hispanic “angle,” the Black militant “angle,” and the homosexual “angle.” Logically, these groups cannot co-exist together and yet there is nary a peep of disharmony in the heels’ dressing room.
