There is absolutely no need to do this - on any level - if Democrats and their judicial renegades who simply submit to the law of the land, the US Constitution!

It's been obvious for over a hundred years now that Democrats don't care about the Constitution. Oklahoma is just taking the necessary steps to make sure Sharia isn't implemented in any way, shape or form within her borders.

New Jersey Family Judge Accepts ‘Sharia Defense’ to Excuse Spousal Rape

Published August 09, 2010 by:
Mark Whittington

Apparently, a judge in New Jersey recently refused a woman’s plea to take out a restraining order against her husband, despite the fact that the husband repeatedly engaged in nonconsensual sex with the
woman. In other words, he raped her several times.

The husband and wife are both Muslim, and had been married in Morocco by an arranged marriage before moving to the United States.

According to Eugene Volokh, quoting court records, even though the woman proved that her husband had engaged in nonconsensual sex with her several times, she had not proved that she had been raped, assaulted, or abused, and therefore the request for a restraining order was denied. The reasoning the family law judge, Joseph Charles, used is disquieting to say the least:

“This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”

The “practices” being referred to that “was not prohibited” is the provision in Sharia Law that makes a woman the absolute chattel of her husband, even insofar as sexual relations are concerned. That is to say, the husband had the right to demand sex from his wife, even though she did not want to. In other words, because the husband was a Muslim, he had the legal right to rape his wife.

An appellate court soon reversed Judge Charles’ decision, but the idea that any American judge, no matter who appointed him, would actually rule that Sharia law was a defense for committing a felony should be grounds for impeachment.

Judge Charles’ ruling has created a fire storm, with many people suggesting that a proposal in Oklahoma to forbid the enforcement of Sharia law may not be quite as frivolous as hitherto believed in certain quarters.
