    Court: Okla. ban on Islamic law unconstitutional

    http://hosted2.ap.org/ALDEC/TDNation...6c8250a3654e09

    Awad argued that the ban on Islamic law would likely affect every aspect of his life as well as the execution of his will after his death. The appeals court pointed out that Awad made a "strong showing" of potential harm.
    "When the law that voters wish to enact is likely unconstitutional, their interests do not outweigh Mr. Awad's in having his constitutional rights protected," the court said.

    They are still trying to get there own laws here.

    What's to keep people from making up their own religion to avoid laws they don't like? Once that happens, how does the government decide which religions to accept and which to reject? It's a slippery slope.

    We don't have in courts what we call Christian laws, everyone goes by the same. They want their own counts like they have in other countries. I believe Canada gave them some. We should not bend to these people.

    you all are right on the money

    what this will lead to in my opinion is muslims will be able to follow their own sharia law and not be held accountable in our court system,

    honor killings and mutilations of women , murder of gays etc will all get a pass because it is a part of their religion.
    The eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring bullets loading. you are old enough to kill , but not for voting, this whole crazy world is just to frustrating, and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don't believe we are on the EVE of DESTRUCTION.


    Never approach a bull from the front, A horse from behind, or a fool from any direction.

    It is already started to happen here in this Country. Comes with a Gated Community, with their own Security Guards and or Community Police. The Community's Association Charter and or membership. Just like retired senior communities. 55 and older to live in such a community. Like Sun City Arizona. They have a few communities like this all around Chicago or In the City.

    How would any know what takes place in such a community if they hold their own court? Have their own jail cell. Whom in the Muslim Community will go outside their Religious Elders and those they themselves choose to govern over themselves? Specifically speaking of Arab Communities and not other Muslims.

    I wonder what people would think if a law was passed to prevent the court system from using Leviticus as a reference.


    BTW for those trying to suggest that honor killings (etc etc) will now be allowed, um... Really?!? Before I slam on you, do you really believe that?

    Now this is much more likely - although probably not with imprisonment. Much more likely with fines.

    Yeah, I wouldnt really think they would imprison. Yet we have seen these guys kill their own kids and women. So beatings and their punishments would be known amongst their religious caste.

    There are those that argue for the right to beat their own children that are not among the Muslims. How do you feel about that?

    Such may be the case but are those that do looking to set up gated communites and proceed to live life by their own set of laws? IMO no one has the right to beat their Children. But they do have the right to correct their children and or discipline them.
