To those in the know... here's a question

Is this part of Sharia law both Sunni and Shia?

If so, how is Oklahoma banning Sharia law considered unconstitutional?

Too stupid to live in our country.

USA =/= Pakistan.

This of course is a test case to push sharia law in the USA.

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.” - Charles James Napier

RE: Or Australia. Still a test case.

So, what if the same thing happened here ( say in New York City, Boston or San Francisco ), will the Imam be arrested?

Depends if it’s discovered and the people discovering it report it. it’d be political suicide (gross negligence) not going after the imam and also not getting the girl out of that house b/c it’d be sexual assault of a minor.

anyone ignoring it would lose their jobs for not doing their jobs.

So, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) will not come to the Imam’s rescue?

I love that quote, thanks, and wish we still had men so unafraid to speak the unvarnished truth in this day of enforced “celebration of diversity”. The only ones who get away now with not celebrating the sodomite agenda, etc, are Muslims, the very ones who would kill a sodomite. It makes no sense, outside the cynical political one.

CAIR isn’t stupid and this isn’t Pakistan and they know that what Islam allows against females is disgusting to “infidels”.

So they’ll just let this one creep twist in the wind.

Meanwhile the “infidel” justice system needs to throw the muzzie child molester in the clink & let the inmates meet out rough justice.

Or, for another perspective on cultural relativism.

Juliet was 13, and her mother was about the same age when Juliet was born.

Christian tradition holds that the Virgin Mary was 12 when she became pregnant with Christ.

>>>The 26-year-old, a Lebanese man who is living in Australia on a student visa, has been charged with 25 counts of having sexual intercourse with an underage child. Before or after the so-called marriage?

Traditions are not always reliable.

Shia Sharia and Sunni Sharia law are very different, but even within their systems, marriageable age is disputed a lot.

The US in general and Oklahoma in particular is in something of a bind, because courts insist that different religions be treated equally. Both Catholics and Jews have religious courts for social matters, but in both cases, their laws are not objectionable to the secular law. And both have been granted reasonable accommodation by the courts.

But both parties must be agreeable, without any form of coercion at all, to using their religious, instead of secular courts.

The objectionable part is when secular judges want to reference religious law in their rulings. That is generally regarded as unacceptable.

Oklahoma made the mistake of specifically naming Islam in its prohibition of these actions by judges. Early on it was noted that the law would have been constitutional if it had just said they couldn’t reference religious law in their rulings.
