Lkr Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Oklahoma on Tuesday approved a ballot measure blocking judges from considering Islamic or international law when making a ruling. Nearly 70 percent of voters in the state cast ballots approving the measure. The proposition’s sponsor, Republican Rex Duncan, told reporters Tuesday that the proposition is a "preemptive strike" against judges who he worries could be “legislating from the bench or using international law or Sharia law.” Opponents of the measure pointed out that the First Amendment bars Congress from make any law respecting the establishment of religion. The proposition also faced criticism from Muslim leaders who have said they intend to challenge it in court. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is one of the top voices spreading concern that Islamic law may creep into American courts, although he has not provided proof that such fears are justified. Gingrich attracted national headlines in September at the Values Voter Summit in Washington when he declared, “I am opposed to any efforts to impose Sharia in the United States.” “We should have a federal law that says under no circumstances in any jurisdiction in the United States will Sharia [law] be used in any court to apply to any judgment made about American law,” Gingrich said.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44630.html :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 They didn't do anything wrong. They simply ruled that Sharia Law, nor any international law cannot be used in a court ruling there. Good for them. The constitution is the law of the land in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Unfortunately, this ruling has been blocked so far. The judge that let this be blocked should be removed as he had no right to block it. Why the hell does this country have to bend over for Muslims and other minorities and make them feel "equal", yet the majority gets the short end of the stick. It's only a matter of time before a Muslim man beats the [expletive] out of his wife and gets away with it.
