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.



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.

State and Federal laws are based upon the United States Constitution which is incompatible with Sharia. You can't have both.

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

Catholics cannot expect papal justice in a courtroom either.

You get used to it.

It's funny.

Just after college at OU I remember it was a Saturday night about 8:30 PM. Liquor stores close promptly at 9 PM. You can't even buy wine in the supermarkets there.

A group of us were watching a movie, drinking screwdrivers and it dawned on us that tomorrow was Sunday.

Liquor stores are closed on Sunday.

Monday was a legal holiday.

Liquor stores are closed on legal holidays.

Tuesday was an election day.

Liquor stores are closed on election days.

Boy, were we in a panic as we drove like bats out of hell to stock up since the stores would be closed until Wednesday!

I hate beer but you're right- 3.2 doesn't make sense.

But man! Does the REST of EVERYTHING about that state make up for it!

Thanks for the find memories.

Love, Miggy.

Stuck in this hellhole called "Vegas".

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.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

International laws should have no precedence of influence upon American judicial system and its jurists, federal, state and local. Doing so would undermine the constitutionality of states and the state sovereignty of the country.

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.

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."
