Islamic tribunal in Dallas draws criticism and clients
Dallas Morning News ^ | 02/23/2015 | DIANNE SOLÍS

An Islamic tribunal, launched in Dallas last year to settle civil disputes among the growing Muslim population, is drawing quarrels over its use of Shariah law.

Opponents fear it would open the door to extreme practices and corporal punishment linked to Shariah law in certain Muslim-majority countries. Still others argue it would replace the U.S. Constitution.

But organizers say the panel of arbitrators issues nonbinding decisions on matters such as business disputes and religious divorces. They note its parallels with Jewish rabbinical courts and Catholic tribunals.

The very word “Shariah” invokes backlash from those who don’t understand it and use it as a “catch phrase for fear-mongering against Islam and Muslims,” said Hadi Jawad, a Dallas businessman and a Muslim.

Religious Freedom VS Sharia-Phobia

(Fort Worth Startle-gram)

Shariah-phobia is back, and Irving is tired of it.

Mayor Beth Van Duyne took to Facebook to say the Constitution is the sole law in Irving, after people who should know better stoked fearmongering over a dispute-resolution panel involving the Irving mosque.

Local online foghorn Glenn Beck said the Dallas-based Islamic Tribunal “needs to be stopped.”

Writing from Florida, lawyer Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel feared “slow, systematic jihad.”

No, Shariah leaves absolute horror and slavery in every instance it is implemented....just look at the islamic world and know in every instance we do not want it in a free country. As a woman I sure as heck do not think that evil belongs here and it needs to be fought tooth and nail.

I really don’t care. If all parties agree to the tribunal and to abide by the decision, what difference does it make?

To expound further, if all parties agree to abide by the ruling of a chicken, by where it craps on a grid - I’m totally fine with that.

After all, civil law is simply a manner of resolving civil disputes - those disputes are often settled outside of court, and not necessarily exactly as law would dictate.

If the chicken poops, and the dispute is ended...I’m fine with that crappy process.

I’m guessing that community property thing gives Muslims problems. Texas is a no fault divorce state. Sharia can’t abide allowing females equal rights?

“”But organizers say the panel of arbitrators issues nonbinding decisions on matters such as business disputes and religious divorces””

Nonbinding - yet they take up the time and resources for what - the fun of it? This is a great lesson in mental “you know what.”

I think to counter this the good citizens of Dallas need to double down on products like ham, bacon, sausage and start flying them over the city - rent those sky planes and just start dropping tons of pork on the city areas (particularly where there are heavy concentrations of Muslims)...FREE food don’t you understand? Just being friendly! (if anyone should ask)

Look up Katy, Texas & the landowner versus invasive Muslims standoff of a few years ago.

He held pig races on his property to drive them back.

Remember that their god, their prophet & their book tell them that Muslims are superior to “infidels” and are entitled to dominate us.

“I divorce thee! I divorce thee! I divorce thee!” And then someone has to officiate with the throwing of the dog poop.

Kufir courts don’t recognize that kind of divorce yet.

Who needs airplanes? Take one of those heavy-lift delivery drones & drop porcine products anywhere the muzzies may concentrate.

Muzzies in France are already using drones to surveil historic landmarks for future destruction.

The lesbians who can’t get the state of Texas to recognize their wedding (to seek a divorce) should go contract the sharia court for a divorce.

What? They are going to be denied service because they aren’t muslim?

That’s what I meant. Dallas malls would be safe. Waco and Houston malls and Highland mall in Austin should be safe, too. However, I wouldn’t set foot in Highland at 12 noon for any amount of money.

Compare that to most Christian gatherings. People involved pray for unbelievers to attend and hear the message of Christ. There is nothing in our religion to hide.

Moderate Muslims won't cut your head off with a knife.

They'll hold you down while the real Muslim does.
