CAIR has a track record of being pro-terrorist.
They are a corrupt organization and it should be said every time they stick their noses into this nation’s business.
This is great news.
And so it begins. Get the hell out of OUR country if you can’t follow OUR laws!!!!
If Muslims don’t like it, they are free to leave OUR country in pursuit of a better life OUTSIDE the borders of the United States of America. End of story.
FUCAIR.
It’s impossible to get along with this crowd. They don’t want to live peaceable next to us, they want to kick us out.
nice forethought.
CAIR will sue, and with the help of a demorat appointed judge, win and this will be declared unconstitutional.
BRING IT ON !!!!
“Members of the Muslim community called the question an attack on Islam”
Achmed, you have not seen an attack on Islam yet. When you do, you will don a burqua & hide with your hags-in-bags.
There’s a legal problem. While you can ban State judges from considering international law in their decisions, you have to also ban “religious” law, not just Sharia law, from their decisions.
The real issue is not what State judges do, but what religious people do “on their own dime”, as it were. For a long time, for example, Jews have been allowed to have their own religious courts, to settle disputes between Jews in an *consensual* manner. It is almost never an issue to the rest of the public, and decisions are entirely voluntary.
But when Muslims demand the same right, to have *consensual* courts with Sharia Law, just for them, they are invariably *not* consensual, but coercive, and even threatening. To not use such a court once it is established, or to reject its decision means at a minimum being ostracized by their community, more likely to be menaced with, or physically attacked, or even killed.
Unfortunately, our legal system is as of yet incapable of distinguishing the difference between religious court systems. In short, there is no way Sharia Law courts can be tolerated in the US, where coercion would *not* be a factor. Even if they had to conduct their courts under the watchful eyes of non-Muslims, they would still engage in coercion outside of the court.
Undoubtedly the Muslims will propose an “incremental” Sharia court, which just covers petty disputes, but even this must be refused, as the only persons who could use such a court are adult males, as they are the only “fully enfranchised” Muslims. Women and children are denied full rights, which by itself is enough to warrant exclusion.
And non-Muslims have *no* rights before such a court.
Likewise, while there is a pretense that Sharia Law is standardized and codified, it is not. Not only are there multiple versions, whose particulars can be interchanged, but as a rule it is *subjective* law, open to significant and whimsical interpretation by its “judge” or “judges”. It does not even contain the *concept* of objectivity.
Therefore, properly speaking, a Sharia Law court is little different than the kangaroo court offered by a lynch mob, so that they can feel sanctimonious about their oppression.
Awesome! Thank you Oklahoma for leading the way!
The new governors and state legislatures will not only fight Obama’s healthcare and other infringements on the 10th, but here is where we start making moves on PC garbage all over the country. And it’s well past time.
I have happily lived in Oklahoma since 1988 when the AF transferred me here. Given the chance to leave for an overseas assignment followed by a plum choice on return I declined and chose to stay here. There’s a reason why Oklahoma is considered to be the most conservative state in the Union. That, plus it has a really neat state song!
Something tells me any suggestion to use Noachide Halakhah in deciding cases would cause the libs to raise holy h***.
