DENVER (Reuters) - A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against a voter-approved ban on Islamic law in Oklahoma on Tuesday, saying it likely violated the U.S. Constitution by discriminating against religion.


A three-member panel of the Denver-based U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the rights of plaintiff Muneer Awad, a Muslim man living in Oklahoma City, likely would be violated if the ban on Sharia law takes effect.

Has there ever been one single instance of a United States court ever using or considering Sharia law in deciding a case?

Our law isn't "supposed" to be ruled by religion. (But why do we swear in people with their hand on the bible and ask them to swear to God? Anyway, the laws of the land you are in hold sway. If you get busted in an Islamic country for having alcohol, are they gonna introduce Christian tenets and American law to try you? HELL NO, you're gonna get tried according to Islamic law. They should expect the same thing here. Break our laws, you get tried by our courts and rules.

Way to often people misread or interpret our constitution. It reads that all men are created equal and have certain rights. But not ALL protections in our constitution & bill of rights apply to aliens or resident aliens. Our constitution protects AMERICAN citizens. The only thing a non citizen has any reasonable expectation of is humane treatment, and recognition of basic human rights. (Like we citizens even get that!)

What kind of crime would Sharia Law favor the perp over American Law? If it says that in the article I apologize.

I don't even understand what the issue is about. Why shouldn't you be allowed to practice sharia law, or anything you want so long as you don't violate any state or federal laws in the process? Did they try to ban it just for the hell of it because it's islamic, or did they have a specific reason to ban it?

Nah, Islam is not as bad as you just made it sound Winter Woman. Sure there are Muslim Extremists but the Muslim religion is actually very peaceful and forgiving.

Here are the 12 'Jewels' of Islam

OK here's the part I am having trouble processing. "Separation of church and state" is the operative term, and the way I understand it, laws are solidly in State's bailiwick whereas Sharia is solidlyin Ch ... uuhhh, Mosque's. So in my simplistic analysis "Sharia law" is automatically excluded from the "permitted" category in US jurisprudence. Am I missing something? (Yes, if high courts are going back&forth on this.) (So then what?)

Canna can you interpret the article into even more laymans terms than that? It looks like it was written for or by and or maybe by or for a lawyer.

I see nothing in there about trucks, full-body swimwear, bit-snipping for girls, and self-recycling vests. cn

That might be difficult since I think I'm already in the :dunce: zone and running close to crush depth. It hinges on the particulars. What civil rights of Muneer Awad are in jeopardy and how? No info about that in the article, and I am about as good at being a lawyer as I am at being a Romanian gymnast ... cn

The Bible states that homosexuals must be put to death
The Bible states that witches must be put to death
The Bible states that those who rebel against family authority are to be put to death
The Bible states that adulterers must be put to death
The Bible states that those who promote a false religion must be put to death
The Bible states that it is imperative that you beat your children
The Bible promotes slavery

I could go on and on but I'm bored. I really don't see the difference between Christian Shariah Law and Islamic Shariah Law.

It is not a religion of peace, anymore. Ok, maybe it's been hi-jacked (no pun intended) there needs to be complete condemnation from large numbers of Muslims. But, I don't see any.

I must add this that a mosque in Fla did turn in a radical a couple of days ago. And they saved a lot of lives. It is at least a start.

Yeah I couldn't find a bottom line about anything in there either. Are you drinking scotch?
