“overwhelmingly approved by Oklahoma voters last year, prevents judges from basing rulings on international law — and specifically mentions Islamic law, often known as Shariah law. “
Isn’t this a good thing as they must pass laws based on the Constitution - not other laws?
So another form of government is allowed to trump US law?
On our soil?
Let those judges offer up their daughters to honor killings and acid attacks or cutting off their fingers for wanting an education, then get back to me.
Gingrich was right.
I think you misunderstood the ruling.

Sorry! I am the one who misunderstood this.
So... laws are no longer interpreted on the U.S. Constitution, opening the way for Sharia to become codified in America.
Pray for whatever is left of this dying country....
Gingrich says he’ll start yanking judges... the idea never sounded better.
No... the law prevents OTHER laws -- religious or otherwise -- that conflict with the U.S. Constitution from being given consideration.
Thumb your nose, and ban it anyway.

PERIOD. NO Federal court has jurisdiction over OK on this matter.
In related recent Sharia news...:
“In the last few days alone, Boko Haram has killed at least 44 people...
responsible for at least 510 killings last year alone... It has targeted churches in the past in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law across Nigeria...”

The way I understand it, you can’t single out one specific group (equal protection). So the law would have been ok, if they had not put in the extra step of naming sharia.
Hitler wanted Germany (and possibly the rest of Europe) to be Islamic. The Leftists in Europe are fulfilling his dream. With America continually becoming more and more and more Euro-peon-ized that may happen here.
Before O’BRIEN, McKAY, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.
Judge Terrence L. O’Brien (Bush Jr Nominee)
Senior Judge Monroe G. McKay (Carter Nominee)
Judge Scott M. Matheson, Jr. (Obama Nominee)
So an American Court just ruled that stoning women to death because they “dishonored” the family is okay? That whipping people in the streets is okay?
What a bunch of MORONS............
Not exactly. I think the courts just want to be in the loop when it's time to start the stoning.

If eventually judges do consider shariah at all, and then rule against a muslim plaintiff then clearly the next step is this:
“The judge had no qualifications in the precepts of Islam —we need qualified people to do this...”
And then there will be a demonstrable need for Muslim judges. And they would loudly announce that these (at first) few would very rarely be using their special knowledge —that they would use it only in those few cases when it would actually be needed.
And then there would be more of them, and no way to demonstrate those cases in which they did use Shariah.
So the upshot is that there woudl be TWO parallel systems.
