Oklahoma's Ban on Shariah Law Blocked

Opponents argued that the measure was unnecessary because state judges have no reason to rely on Islamic law. Most of the state’s newspapers opposed the measure.

Hmmm, Well Muslims would not let a non Muslim, Unversed in Sharia Law, sit as a judge in A sharia Case ! A sharia Law Court would be set up specifically for the Implementation of Sharia.
The problem would be then, that there would be two different court systems within the U.S. One for regular people and the other for Muslims!

"Today's ruling is a reminder of the strength of our nation's legal system and the protections it grants to religious minorities," said Muneer Awad, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Oklahoma, who filed the suit last Thursday, claiming the law violated his constitutional rights.

Constitutional Rights? Well Mr. aWAD , if you were ever to step foot in a courtroom within the United States, you would be given the same rights as everyone else.
the premise that your constitutional rights are being Violated are unfounded. We do not rule or judge under Sharia law, we rule and Judge under American Law!

If you do not like it get out of the U.S. ! Go to the Muslim Country of your Choice ! Be ruled under your Sharia Law there !





A popular new law that bars Oklahoma courts from considering Islamic law, or Shariah, when deciding cases was put on hold Monday after a prominent Muslim in the state won a temporary restraining order in federal court.

Two state legislators were quick to blast the judge's ruling and the Oklahoma attorney general, who they said did not stand up to support the new law.

U.S. District Court Judge Vicki Miles-LeGrange ruled that the measure, which passed by a large margin in last Tuesday's elections, would be suspended until a hearing on Nov. 22, when she will listen to arguments on whether the court's temporary injunction should become permanent.

"Today's ruling is a reminder of the strength of our nation's legal system and the protections it grants to religious minorities," said Muneer Awad, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Oklahoma, who filed the suit last Thursday, claiming the law violated his constitutional rights.

"We are humbled by this opportunity to show our fellow Oklahomans that Muslims are their neighbors and that we are committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution and promoting the benefits of a pluralistic society," Awad said.
