Does Islam allow woman judges?

It’s a PARADOX!!

“Miles-LaGrange was nominated by President Bill Clinton on September 22, 1994, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma vacated by Lee Roy West. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 7, 1994, and received her commission on November 28, 1994. She began her service as chief judge in 2008. Judge Miles-LaGrange’s preliminary ruling [4] enjoining amendment of the Oklahoma Constitution to prohibit the state’s courts from either “considering or using” international law or Islamic Sharia law has attracted considerable attention and has prompted one Oklahoma state legislator to urge Congress to impeach her.[5]’

The judge is female, appointed by Bill Clinton.

The defining mission of the Muslim Brotherhood is the implementation of sharia, as noted for several years by a hardy few of us Islamophobes. An “Islamophobe,” by the way, is someone who takes seriously the things Muslim Brotherhood operatives say and the scriptures on which they rely; the Muslims who say the things that Islamophobes have the temerity to mention are called “moderates” — see how this works?

Sharia is Islam’s societal framework and legal code. Particularly as construed by Islamic supremacists, whose ideology dominates the Middle East, sharia is authoritarian, anti-liberty, anti-equality, and intolerant of minority rights. Indeed, in 1990, Islamic supremacists felt the need to issue their own “Declaration of Human Rights in Islam,” precisely because they cannot abide the aspirations laid out in the purportedly “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” promulgated by the United Nations in 1948. Human rights, for the Islamist, must bow to the repressive injunctions of sharia.

Elections do not equal democracy. To the contrary, democracy is a culture of governance committed to the protection of minority rights and equality of opportunity. Sharia abides neither of those principles. Turkey’s Islamic-supremacist prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that ought to be a lot more notorious: “Democracy is just the train we board to reach our destination.” Islamists step off the train at sharia station, which is a civilization’s distance away from liberty and equality. In a sharia society, “democracy” — taken to mean mere voting — is not a culture. It is just another means of imposing totalitarian sharia. To be sure, it is a means less brutal than violent jihad, but a means to the same sorry end.

The Muslim Middle East is part of a different civilization and does not share our core beliefs. Adherent to supremacist Islam, it rejects equality under the law (the rights of non-Muslims are inferior to those of Muslims, and those of women to those of men). In Muslim countries, religious minorities are systematically oppressed and persecuted. The sovereign is deemed to be Allah, acting through the Muslim ruler or caliph. There are no “constituents” to “represent”; the people are subjects who owe the caliph obedience and whose only legitimate expectation of the caliph is his fidelity to sharia.

Pretty simple, really.

Sharia is not a religion.

[NurdlyPeon]

Ruling that the establishment of a regime of Sharia law cannot be prohibited?

I don't even think it's so much a matter of prohibiting Sharia law. It's a matter of the legislature trying to limit, in any way, the power of the courts. So, the courts get to decide whether or not their power is going to be limited. Gee, what do you think the courts are going to decide?

[Talisker]

um... wouldn’t USING sharia law be violating the establishment clause???

HELL YES!

Anybody who thinks this is a free country is out of their mind
We are slaves to the political class in DC and their apparatchiks
The Governor should tell the “judge “ to get bent and and see what the DC mafia does about it

Only 15 months to the midterms

[Rome2000]

Oh hell yeah, I figure we slipped into a parallel dimension just about the time Nixon resigned

Dan Rather is somehow involved, that’s why they were trying to get him to disclose the frewuency

I found a link here that confirms that he said it:

"While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the Court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual's constitutional rights," the judge wrote.

There is an implied "but" between the first clause of the sentence, above, and the second clause.

And, as Peter McWilliams put it in his bestseller from about two decades ago, Do It! Let's Get Off Our Buts: "'But' is the word we use to mean, 'Ignore everything I have said up to this point. Here comes the real scoop.'"

In this case, "the real scoop" may be found in the second clause to the sentence outlining the judge's rationalization...uh, reasoning...

I guess neither judge knows a damned thing about Sharia Law as a “weapon” of aggressive and expansive Islam. If it was just the law of a country, for internal use, it would not be a big issue, but it has been declared a “weapon” of domination in other lands that either voluntarily submit to Islam or are converted to it at sword point.

Some of our judges as just fucking dumb and need to be replaced when possible.

Thanks for finding that. This Obama is completely and utterly out of his freakin’ mind.
