Islamic Sharia Law to Be Banned in Oklahoma.....first state in the nation to ban state judges from relying on Islamic law known as Sharia when decidin

Oklahoma is poised to become the first state in the nation to ban state judges from relying on Islamic law known as Sharia when deciding cases.

Oklahoma is poised to become the first state in the nation to ban state judges from relying on Islamic law known as Sharia when deciding cases.

The ban is a cornerstone of a "Save our State" amendment to the Oklahoma constitution that was recently approved by the Legislature.

The amendment -- which also would forbid judges from using international laws as a basis for decisions -- will now be put before Oklahoma's voters in November. Approval is expected.

Oklahoma has few Muslims – only 30,000 out of a population of 3.7 million. The prospect of sharia being applied there seems remote. But a chief architect of the measure, Republican State Rep. Rex Duncan, calls the proposed ban a necessary "preemptive strike" against Islamic law coming to the state.

"I see this in the future somewhere in America ," Duncan, who chairs the state House Judiciary Committee, told ABC News. "It's not an imminent threat in Oklahoma yet, but it's a storm on the horizon in other states."


The proposed Oklahoma amendment is aimed, in part, at "cases of first impression," legal disputes in which there is no law or precedent to resolve the matter at hand.

In such cases, judges might look to laws or rulings in other jurisdictions for guidance. The proposed amendment would block judges in Oklahoma courts from drawing on sharia, or the laws of other nations, in such decisions.

The amendment also is a response to what some conservatives see as a pernicious trend -- cases of liberal judges mostly notably Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, using foreign laws to shape their opinions in U.S. cases.

"It should not matter what France might do, what Great Britain might do, or what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia might do," Duncan said. "Court decisions ought to be based on federal law, or state law."

Sorry, NOT allowed, under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The government can't FORCE you to use Sharia Law, but it ALSO can't deny you the right to choose it.

It's allowed.

Oklahoma is looking better and better all the time.

Except for the tornados. sigh

.

It would be nice if the Oklahoma legislature worried more about keeping our infrastructure in better shape or did something about the deficit crisis that the state has been locked in for so long, rather than pass dumb laws like this.

Not that I think Sharia Law should in any way exist in the United States, because it shouldn't.

But neither should politicians legislate from the Bible, which is what Oklahoma politicians (Dem and Repub) love to do. They need to also ban state judges (and legislators) from relying on the Bible when interpreting the law.

What is not allowed but often done, is deviating from
state statute by a judge. Since Sharia is a religion, it
has no standing in the courtroom as a set of laws under the Constitution

Yes they can fucktard. We abide by laws passed in our legislatures and signed by our governor/president not some bullshit laws from other countries.

No, such a law WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Hell, the Supreme Court ALREADY ruled that Satanism is a valid religion, and prison inmates MUST be allowed to practice it!!!

Read it again skippy. The first ammendment says in part that, "congress shall pass no law". That applies to Washington DC, not Oklahoma. States have the power to pass their own laws.

Whatever you do..Keep believing that. Tell everyone you can too.


Oklahoma is chock full of inbred morans and haters. There is nothing you or anyone else could ever want from this backwards racist filthy polluted ruined place. It is cursed. Stay away if you know what is good for you. NEVER EVER come here you would be so sorry..ACCURSED I tell you!

And just HOW, Buckwheat, did you MISS the part of the First Amendment that says "OR THE FREE PRACTICE THEREOF"??

Sharia Law IS religious, therefore Muslims are FREE to choose Sharia Law, under the First Amendment!!

THAT should be VERY clear to anyone that has a working brain, but it's obviously NOT clear enough for many GLPers.

You have a US flag on your post, but I sure hope you are
not residing in the US. If you are, you should leave while you can.
