Oklahoma bans Sharia Law (LOL)

The only thing I found funny was this

:lol: lol, l2photoshop

Doesn't the constitution already cover this?

Cool glad it got passed.testfactor888

[QUOTE="testfactor888"]Cool glad it got passed.xaos

Next I demand a law banning murder!

Islam and Shariah law are two sides of the same coin, perhaps it's a repudiation of Islam as well.

[QUOTE="wstfld"][QUOTE="p2250"]

Many Muslim countries can't or don't want to even consider banning Sharia law.

The question is, why?

There's a joke somewhere there.

And I would have gotten away with it,if it weren't for you meddling kids!

Ok, ok, Islam is a beautiful, peace loving religion with not one law or belief that is hateful.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="testfactor888"] Because of the imminent threat of Shariah law taking over Oklahoma? I thought conservatives favored small government and less nonsense legislationtestfactor888

Even if "rejecting their principles" is in no way affecting people's lives in Oklahoma but its giving Muslims a hard time? for example thanks to this ban American Muslims might not be able to marry under Sharia in Oklahoma for one.

Sharia law is the closest thing to what is called civil law in countries with Latin jurisdiction e.g. France, Italy and the Middle East or Contract/Property and Family relations law in countries with Anglosaxon jurisdiction as the US and the UK. It does not tell muslims to go and blow themselves up. It's a law in which matters as civil and family relations are regulated in accordance with the quran and sunnah. It also lists the rights and obligations of people as muslims.

I'd like to point out that Sharia law isn't implemented in most of Arab and Islamic countries. Heck the country which claims to completely go by the Sharia law doesn't really excute it. Their laws are far from being dervied from Islamic sources so what if secular countries in the west? An example of Sharia law, in Islam, there's such thing as Al-murabaha in banking system where the bank takes a fixed interest as profit when loaning money. An interest going up gradually with every period of time is strictly forbidden in Sharia law as it's seen as taking advantage of someone's need for money.

They also banned use of any other international law by their judges. This is a very good thing. America is not governed by the rest of the world; it is governed by its people.

Aren't there other religions that are allowed to apply their own laws as long as they're within the boundaries of the US legal system, e.g. Jewish law? Just wondering if that's be outlawed too. If it exists that is. Which I think it does...... Otherwise this is a completely pointless question...

They should ban nuclear warfare next. Then ban elaborate plots to take over the world.

This is embarrassing for our state. i voted against this, but I knew it was going to pass. If you've ever been to Oklahoma you would know why.

[QUOTE="wstfld"] I believe that is covered under the establishment clause. Wasdie

Which technically makes Sharia Law illegal anyways. It was a pointless bill passed in Oklahoma.

However Sharia Law needs to be looked at carefully. Europe is starting to feel extreme political pressure from the Muslim communities. It's one thing to practice your religion, it's another to use it as a vessel for political gain. And yes, this applies to those extreme right wing christian nuts in the USA.

We've seen what pure Christan governments are like. They are bad... very very bad. We can also see what a state controlled by Sharia Law is like, it is also bad... very very bad.

I thought we would have learned by now we need a firm separation of church and state. This applies to all religions equally. This is all I am saying.

I agree. Oklahoma just gets less publicity because of our smaller population/cities.
