| Oklahoma Sharia law ban 'unconstitutional', court rules |
| 2012-01-11 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna A federal court of appeals upheld a district judge's decision to block the implementation of the amendment. The ban on Islamic law was approved by 70% of voters in a referendum in 2010. Another riot by the disgusting peasants put down successfully. |

| #4 The logical implication of the ruling is that "all law systems are legal", since you can't ban a dysfunctional one. One would think that contradicting the "law of the land" would be sufficient basis for exclusion. |

| #3 In this case the judge was right for the simple reason that the law was not "generic", but mentioned Sharia twice. That is a long standing no-no in writing law. The paradox though is that many courts in the US have long supported input from ecclesiastical courts, especially Catholic and Jewish. So over time evolved a "hands off" approach to internal civil religious spats, deferring to whatever rules that religion has created for itself in *civil* law. This created a conflict though. Both Catholic and Jewish law "behaves themselves" and are reasonable. Sharia law does not and is not. |

| #2 What Constitution? If it's living, it's what ever the princes decide it is today. Tomorrow it might be something else. |

| #1 I suppose it all depends what you mean by Sharia.I'm sure the judges would have no objections to submitting to "Sharia" as in this case two days ago. The wonderful thing about Sharia is that its got a marvelous stone age/medieval quality about it. Sharia law as mob gouges out robberÂ’s eye |
