I never get mad about the news but i am outraged by this!! !! !!

if Shariah Law is allowed in the usa i will be pissed!

it is brutal and suppresses women rights!

wake up America!
or our country and our freedoms will be lost!! !! !! !!


The sharia law in question did not refer to women's rights it referred to enforcement of business contracts with a foreign entity in a moslem country where Sharia law is enforced


That's the same argument they used in Europe and now it's extended into criticisms of Islam.

If memory serves me right, it was a declaration that all laws originating outside the US do not apply to Oklahoma, not a specific ban on Shariah only. To single out one religion's laws would have made it too easy for the ACLU to attack. So it would also apply, for example, if the UN tries to pass laws and impose them on the US. Ironically, this would also ban the 10 Commandments since those originated in the Middle East.


QFT. Its purpose to invalidate international law in Oklahoma.

This Islamophobia is clearly getting out of hand. I remember recently when that hard hearted dimwit Susan Angle, while running for Senate against Harry Reed, claimed Dearborn Michigan had had Shariah law enforced in its city limits. Not only was that blatantly untrue, but she also revealed her own bigotry - Dearborn has a large Arab American population which she was aiming her hate mongering at. This lunacy in Oklahoma is based on fear and hatred against American citizens who happen to be of the Islamic faith, and very likely Middle Eastern origin. And the shitwits at Fox are only fanning the flames of intolerance for the sake of ratings.
