Has this newspaper paid their jizya tax I wonder?

[Secret Agent Man]

it’s bad, everywhere.

next question.

[Shadow44]

Does that mean I can choose what law I want to operate under? Or is that a Muslim only thing?

[Ingtar]

To the author, “Is my pooping in your refrigerator a bad thing?”

[smokingfrog]

Would you like living in the 14th century?

If not, you don’t want Sharia.

prohibit family court rulings based on foreign legal codes

Isn’t that kind of a no-brainer? If they want muslim law so much why did they leave it? If they want to live under oppressive laws they have lots of countries to choose from; pick one and go.

[AFreeBird]

Is what not so bad where?! Texas?

I’d ask if there wasn’t a more idiotic person on the planet, but then I’d have to disregard the Resident in the WH.

[jazusamo]

Nip sharia law in the bud now in all states, this is not a muslim country!

Pass the law.

[logic101.net]

Then again, maybe we can convince enough of them to move so San Francisco and demand it there? That would be fun to watch.

[a fool in paradise]

What a country... of idiots.

[rockinqsranch]

“Is Sharia law in Texas such a bad thing?”

‘H’ yes! IF for nothing else the precedent it would set, the camel’s nose under the tent effect it would set.

NO SHARIA anywhere for any reason in this country. WE HAVE LAWS. WE DON’T NEED ANYONE ELSES.

[darkangel82]

US Code, Title 18, Section 2385. Look it up, Mr. Jones.

[ClearCase_guy]

It's all in how the question is phrased -- we should teach Islam in schools, so that young people fully understand the details:

Women don't go to school.
Women don't have jobs.
Women don't drive cars.
Homosexuals are thrown off the tops of buildings.
Owning slaves is OK.
People who are not good Muslims can be executed by burning alive.

Once Americans understand the religion, then the question should be asked: Is Sharia Law what you want to see imposed on America?

[hinckley buzzard]

This idiot should ask his wife or daughter how she would feel about a clitoridectomy performed by some old arab women.

[txrefugee]

The Dallas Morning News is as bad as the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express. Texas has no major city paper that doesn’t take the Leftist point of view on every issue.

[AFreeBird]

Man, red the the comments. The Texans ain’t none too happy about this idiot author.

Don’t mess with Texas, or the USA you damn promoters of Mad Mo. Piss be upon your head.

[DoodleDawg]

He’s got a bill that would prohibit family court rulings based on foreign legal codes if that violated our own constitutional protections.

So has there been a Texas family court decision where the judge based his ruling on any religious law, Sharia or otherwise? If so, how did that escape being appealed?

[Oberon]

The entire question of whether ANY other law should apply in ANY jurisdiction other than the law of the governing country, state, and locality is predicated on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the word "law" actually means.

No. No law applies other than the law made by the governments that have direct jurisdiction over the court in question.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Hey Rodger, when your 13 year old daughter converts to Islam and marries some Saudi immigrant who beats her, do you want Sharia Court determining if the beating was bad enough to allow her to divorce him? Silly question — beatings are never grounds for divorce under Sharia law.

[Pontiac]

He’s got a bill that would prohibit family court rulings based on foreign legal codes if that violated our own constitutional protections.

These laws should not be at all necessary because the 14 Amendment to the Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

No judge worthy of the name would ever consider using any law to decide a case or a punishment other than duly enacted laws of the United States or of the state in which he sits. If he does he or she should be immediately removed from the bench and disbarred.
