Oklahoma Ballot Question Would Ban Sharia Law

Quote:

State Question 755 in Oklahoma would place a domestic firewall against Sharia law from taking hold in America. That’s at least what the author of the Question, Representative Rex Duncan, says.

"It is a problem in other states. It's an emerging, spreading threat, and this is a pre-emptive strike," said Rep. Duncan. "I believe other states will follow Oklahoma's lead."

Sharia law is a legal code drawn from dictates and rules laid out in the Koran. In fact, Britain has 85 Sharia courts. Some are reporting that Muslim women who are being abused or raped by their husbands are turned away from British civil courts and are being directed to Sharia courts, which are often run by a local mosque and supervised by an imam.

Now we have to worry about Sharia Law in America?

Quote:

An equally troubling, but domestic, case of Sharia law superseding a domestic civil law, is the case of a New Jersey Muslim woman filing for a restraining order from her abusive husband. The judge denied the restraining order on the grounds that her husband “was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”

Plainly put, the judge ruled that the woman could be raped and tortured because the rapist was her husband and his religious beliefs give him the right to rape and abuse. Sadly, this woman had to live in this torment for more than one year before the case was overturned.

Since Sharia law is already being recognized as an acceptable alternative to American law by some American judges, perhaps this ballot question has certain merit.

I don't even think the Muslim Loving Liberals in this forum can defend
this crap.

Abount 25 years ago, A women knocked on my door and asked to use
the phone to call the police on her husband. After she called the police
she left my home and walked outside to wait for the police.
Her husband came across the street and hit the women
in the face in my front yard. I came outside and got into a screaming
match with the man. He told me he was from Jordan.
He pushed me and I smacked him a couple times
until he fell on the ground. It was no major win, as I had 6 inches and
75 pounds on the man.

The police arrived and asked what happened. The man told the
police that I hit him and his wife defended him and turned on me.
She said that I had hit her husband.

Lucky for me a neighbor had seen the brief spat and came across
the street and told the police what happened.

With the world of the neighbor and the fact that the women had
already reported abuse on the phone, they arrested the man.

I never seen either of them again, they moved.
If the women ever knocked on the door again, she would have only
been greated by my German Shepard Rex.

No religious beliefs should supercede the law.

I don't think even the bible thumpers on the right here can disagree with that...

One example of nutty judge is no reason for a state to have a nutty law. There is zero danger of Sharia law superceding our Constitution. This initiative was pure political hubris by some paranoid right-wingers. Indeed, liberals are even less likely than conservatives to defend Sharia law because we tend to be less sexist, less homophobic, and less prone towards vengeance.

The source for your information is some half baked Jesus site.. do you think that they might lie or use hyperbole to make their point??

OTOH religious law does not supercede local, state or federal law... unless it is for some convenient reason for the right.. situational constitution stuff.

America should take a long hard look at The UK & France and never allow this religion "Islamic" to grow in America as it has overseas.

WTF is wrong with England? How could any country that calls itself part of the "modern world" would allow "Sharia" anything within the borders of their country.

Thankfully, we as a nation and a people would never, EVER allow scum-bag sharia courts to operate in the United States of America...that much I can guarantee!

Has the world gone nuts or what?

Flex, do you actually READ my posts or just post a response to what you "think" I wrote?

I wrote NOTHING about

"this an example of sharia law being imposed here"

I just said Sharia Law is for scum-bags...nothing more, nothing less.
