North Texas is now home to the first official Islamic Tribunal in the U.S.
Comprised of four judges, the Islamic Tribunal follows Sharia Law, a Muslim religious moral code that settles disputes in many countries in the Middle East.
Located at a mosque in Irving, Texas, such an establishment may come as a shock to many Americans who, as U.S. citizens, first and foremost live and abide by the nations state and federal laws. [ ]
Tribunal judge Dr. Taher El-badawi says that the tribunal will not handle cases involving criminal law, child support, custody battles, or transfers of assets.
But divorce often involves child support, custody battles, and transfers of assets. Will the line between their religious moral code and U.S. family law remain clear?

Smells like the FBI should get involved.
Is this building fireproof? If not, why is it still standing?

That mosque is located next to a training area for firefighters...how strategic is that?
I'll drive where I please in Texas. No neighborhood is off-limits to me. If the moslems don't like it, they can lump it.

NO I DON”T KNOW VERY MUCH AT ALL ABOUT TEXAS TYVERY MUCH-
No. Any idiot who agrees to abide by a religious court, regardelss of the sect, deserves whatever happens to them.
I don't see where it's dictating civil law so I think you're wrong.
That only reinforces the notion of a slippery slope.
Slippery slope to nowhere.
Exactly.
And muslims aren't the only religion who use their own tribunals to settle religious disputes, or civil disputes if both parties agree.
The author is missing the point. There are no custody battles, because the child is the property of the man. There are no child support issues because the child is the property of the man, as are the other assets. And there are no transfer of assets, because they all belong to the man.
Monica Sanchez sure doesn't understand Sharia, does she?
>> Is this building fireproof? If not, why is it still standing?
Someone call Janet Reno out of retirement.
“....That mosque is located next to a training area for firefighters. ....”
Hmmm.
As for driving in that area, I too will drive on any road I please.
