[muawiyah]

Any time you have a man and a woman who are engaged in creating facts for consideration in a case and you just write the woman out of existence you are, in fact, adopting the Sharia standard that women only count for half the weight of the testimony of a man.

If you didn't already know that you are probably a kafir ~ and that's someone whose testimony only counts for one-quarter the weight of a moslem man in court.

The judge slipped it in and that is important.

Sharia law has at its core the idea of CLASSES OF CITIZENS.

Sharia law has at its core the idea of CLASSES OF CITIZENS.

Indeed, that makes it contrary to at least several State Constitutions, South Dakota specifically prohibits it.
Yet, I fear that we already DO have classes of citizens: the police/Law-Enforcement and the "civilian" to name two; just look at how the law looks at a freeman and a policeman in possession of a weapon (especially in places like courthouses).

I am wholly against such classings of people; the law should apply to all equally. {If anything more accountability should be required of those that have more power/authority, but that is the exact opposite of what we see.}
