As long as it is voluntary, they have no power and no party can be completed to attend or punished.
The city will lose in a real US Court.
From the article:
“...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.” ....”
OK, what about the statements made by the group trying to become a supposed voluntary place of arbitration?
they plainly state that they don’t care about the u.s. or state constitution.
I respectfully disagree,
Just because it is voluntary, if it breaks US law...they lose in the courts.
Lets say person A and person B have a disagreement. Sharia law awards person A the judgement and gives person A all of person Bs possessions and wife.
Do you really think US law wouldn’t override that decision?
The city won’t lose. Trust me.
They want to take it a step further by their own admission, and have their Sharia court supersede US law where the two conflict.
That's not mediation, it's a jurisdictional challenge to the United States, and and a US court will not support it.
