Excerpted from Mad World News: The first Islamic Sharia Court in the U.S. just got some very bad news, and Muslims are not happy.
In a close 5-4 vote, the city of Irving ruled to back the Texas state bill banning foreign law from the state. It basically would slam the door in their faces, preventing them from spreading Sharia throughout the country. Now they are accusing the city council of unfairly being targeted.
All four of the “voluntary” court’s lawyers were unlicensed in the state of Texas, a third degree felony. Mayor Beth Van Duyne received several phone calls on the matter. It seems that the Islamic Tribunal not only was unlicensed, but they failed to notify the city of their illegal court being operated in city limits. She promised to get to the bottom of it, and she did.
By their own website’s admission, if U.S. law conflicts with Sharia law, “we follow Sharia law.” It also openly admitted separate rules for men and women in their proceedings, discriminating and humiliating women which is against the U.S. Constitution. The Islamic Tribunal also openly declared that they hope will “set a precedence that will be emulated and duplicated throughout the country.”
The more the mayor looked into it, the more it was apparent that they were attempting to establish a foothold using her city. She made a public Facebook post stating that she would back the new Texas law. She states that it was apparent that Zia Sheikh, imam at the Islamic Center of Irving, and the other Imams were “bypassing American courts” to make rulings under Sharia. Sheikh demanded an apology and wanted her Facebook post removed, which stated she would “fight with every fiber of my being” if the group was violating basic rights.
heikh says he just “asked her to clarify a statement … which seemed very Islamophobic.”
“She flat-out refused,” he said. “She said, ‘My statement wasn’t inflammatory in any way, shape or form.’” (Dallas Morning News)
Her office then asked for them to support the American Laws for American Courts bill and to abide by the Constitution. Sheikh instead flew off the handle.
“We don’t care about the bill,” Sheikh said. “It’s not going to affect us in any way, shape or form. The bottom line is the foundation of this bill is anti-Islamic.” (Dallas Morning News)
The meeting was filled by Muslims from the Council for American-Islamic Relations, a known terrorist organization. They even tried to paint the vote as Islamaphobia and bigotry.
“This continues efforts by elected officials who seek to score points with their voting base by demonizing Muslims,” Alia Salem, who directs the North Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the City Council before Thursday’s vote. She said it had a choice between “diversity” and “hatred, fear and bigotry.” (Dallas Morning News)
The state bill doesn’t even mention Muslims or Islam. It states no specific foreign law. Keep reading

Ha?
That's true. They will just send a couple of their henchmen over to your place and cut your head off. If your kids or wife/husband are there; you can watch them get their heads cut off first before yours gets placed in the kitchen sink. See how that works now?
Do you have a link for that quote?
If it's a true quote, which I highly doubt, it's dynamite. However, if it isn't, then it's poison, which allows the 'tards to characterize FR in a very negative light.
Bkmk
Bump!
They must go!
My problem with your take/explanation is in the words ‘it has no force of law’. Such standings as ‘home owners associations’ do/can limit ownership of property. I do not want to live in any societal context where such influence on valid Constitutional rights is superseded by some self designated body of persons, especially such as with Sharia Law.
....poor babies.mad because they can’t impose their barbaric laws against us
If I remember correctly, no one forced any moslem to move to the USA. Since they did so through their own volition, they have no right to insist on cultural or legal changes to our country. By the way where are the feminist organizations complaining about discrimination against females under Sharia?
The muslime death cult is where women have no power, no freedom, no rights, they are subjugated and oppressed. When a woman is raised in that environment or embraces it, she effectively is powerless to refuse to follow its edicts. She is unable to freely decide to abide or not abide by that court. Therefore, sharia courts do have power to compel attendance and compliance.
Post 152 for my take on that.
That presupposes you have the freewill to refuse. . .and if raised a muslime (especially a female muslime) you have no power to refuse. It is not “voluntary” in any way. It is mandatory.
how about some jail? The law was broken.
The future must not belong to those who slander me.
About damn time!
The sharia courts are illegal. If they don’t like that, then they should find another country. Somehow, I don’t think they’ll find another country that has sharia law, and still allows them the upward mobility they enjoy here in the states. Probably not as much house flipping in Beirut or other such muslim privy holes either.
Refer to five five six or seven six two for an appropriate response to this issue. It’s clear to me that they are attempting to create a colony within our country.
