Islamic law, or Shariah, already is being applied in the U.S. court system, according to an extensive new report.
A recent Center for Security Policy study called "Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases outlines dozens of cases in which the Islamic system of law has been applied.
Center spokesman David Reaboi said the Islamic strictures are being carried out mostly in cases in which foreigners are the principals.

"Shariah enters U.S. courts through the practice of comity to foreign law," Reaboi explained. "This happens, for example, when a judge decides to allow the use of say, Pakistani or Saudi family law (Shariah) in a dispute between Pakistanis or Saudis."
He said the study only scratches the surface of Shariah's presence in the nation.

It may already be over. I keep hoping against hope. But it really does not look good.
I know. We have already helped to bring Sharia Law to Libya. Now our own courts are involved now.
If enough people raise hell about it- it will stop. Judges and politicians live off of our dime, and there are way more of us than there are them.
Call and write them- make your displeasure known to them, and vote them out.
I’m sure this is abused somewhere USA, but really? Is this a problem? From what I’ve read (and somebody will correct me if I’m wrong, I’m sure), Sharia law has only been used in civil matters, never criminal, and when both sides agree.
They allow Amish this ability.
No different than arbitration.
Until I see evidence to the contrary, your post pretty much sums up my thoughts on this.
Yes, this is a problem. A big one. We have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. It does not matter what group you are-US law is the law of this land. Live with it or leave.
Sharia law stands in direct contrast to US law. Get a copy of it and read it. I have. It is barbaric, violent, and women have no rights- they are cattle.
Even in “civil matters”, it has no place in a civilized nation- unless of course you think someone who is hungry and steals a loaf of bread to feed his family deserves to have his right hand cut off by a sword. Or a woman seen out on the streets without her body and face fully covered deserves to be brutally whipped and/or raped. Or a woman who goes out of her house, alone, with out a male relative, or is seen with a non related male, is whipped.
Get a copy of it and read it. It has no place in the USA.
Sharia Law cannot supercede the Constitution and the Bill of Rights okay? Got that? The only cases I have read where Sharia law (and arbiters) where used are in Civil Matters. I.E not criminal such as the example you gave. Okay? Got that?
I don’t agree with Sharia law, and I will not consent to it. So I have no fear that it’s going to be imposed on me. Okay? Got that?
Have any other straw man arguments?

Infidels: freepmail me if you want on or off this list.
The following is a description (slightly modified) from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. Link
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Muslim. Like any other minority, they wont integrate, but work to build their own separate community.
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa's Muslim population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves (along with threats for failure to comply).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia; Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world, but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (Ei: car-burnings in France last October.) Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats.
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning (India, Mindanao, Philippines).
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare [Indonesia].
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya (infidel tax). (Sudan, Kosovo, Lebanon and Egypt).
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide [Western Papua (New Guinea), Iran, Biafra, Turkey and North Nigeria].
100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" - House of Peace - as in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.
Notice #1 on the list - "As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness."
For those who may have missed it, TLC (The Learning Channel) has scheduled an 8 part series, beginning in November, entitled "All American Muslim".
The people participating in "All-American Muslim" seem to run the gamut from very religious to more casual, and all struggle to find a balance between their American home and their Muslim background. One cast member is a football coach and another is in law enforcement. There are even splits in the level of devotion in some of the individual families. One family features two sisters - one of whom wears a traditional head scarf and another who has tattoos and piercings and married an Irish Catholic.
Just your 'typical' Americans, as predicted. How many viewers, out of curiosity, will tune in to watch the program and relegate these individuals as insignificant.
I have to wonder, though, whether TLC ever posed the question of how this community reacted to the events of 9/11. Guess we will have to watch the program for that answer.
Filthy koranimals & their sympathizers have a unique place in the near future.
Puke.

Now, if you can’t see the pattern, then you haven’t the simple sense that G-D gave geese. They are trying to take over. Get it?
The bogosity is appalling. You keep going back to criminal sharia concepts. That will never go over in the U.S because they cannot supercede the constitution. It’s entirely Civil, as like the Uniformed Commercial Code. Parties involved agree to adhere to Sharia standards — as long as those standards don’t contravene the U.S constitution.
They allow the quakers, Amish, Mormans and a whole slew of other “arbitration” type cases. Criminal Cases DO NOT GO TO ARBITRATION!
Now include the other groups that are allowed to impose their standards (non criminal) in your arguments and I’ll start believing you actually know what you are talking about.
“Parties involved agree to adhere to Sharia standards as long as those standards dont contravene the U.S constitution.”
Sharia Law does indeed contravene US law, as it is NOT US Law. The only legal, valid law, or manner of conducting an agreement in the US, is US Law.
I don’t care what group.
Sharia law is a religious law- the Muslim legal system- based on Islam- a religion. We have separation of church and state in the US. Bottom line, it ain’t legal here. Nor should it be.
