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 courts 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 websites 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 wasnt 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 dont care about the bill, Sheikh said. Its 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 Thursdays vote. She said it had a choice between diversity and hatred, fear and bigotry. (Dallas Morning News)
The state bill doesnt even mention Muslims or Islam. It states no specific foreign law. Keep reading
Sharia courts have repeatedly announced their intentions to replace our laws. Until and if a solid majority of American Muslims disassociate themselves from that started goal, we should continue to view them with suspicion as the State of Texas is doing here.
BO has placed radical Muslims in authority over many aspects of our legal system and culture. Just see Valarie Jarrett, his puppet master. Until such time as this ends, there is ample grounds for suspicion by the public at large and, thus, accordingly, ample grounds for treating Sharia Courts differently from other church courts.
The Constitution is based on Christian principles, but every agreement reached by two parties does not have to be based on Christian principles.

Is the agreement reached by two parties subject to further legal, constitutional review?

No, if you like you can trade a your car to someone for a fist full of ferry dust and there is no mandated constitutional review.
This is just the beginning I suspect.
