Texas Passes Law Permanently Banning Muslim Sharia Laws
worldpoliticus ^ | May 30, 2016

Once again the nation looks to Texas for the way things ought to be.

This time the Texas Legislature has passed a law permanently barring Muslims from trying to institute their own sharia-based savagery on their own communities in the Lone Star State.

Shoebat.com reports that the anti-sharia law was passed this week.

WOAI State Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) doesn’t mention Islamic Koranic law, or ‘Sharia Law’ in her bill. She simply says it guarantees that no laws fro ‘foreign courts’ will be adopted by Texas civil court judges.

“It’s just to provide some belt and suspenders to make sure that, with judicial discretion, we don’t trump Texas law, American law, with a foreign law regarding family law,” Campbell said.

Muslim groups say the bill is a ‘solution looking for problem, and claim that the bill has its genesis in an anti Muslim demonstration on the steps of the Texas Capitol in January in which the proposal was cheered.

I don't see how this legislation solves anything. Sharia-compliant laws could be adopted in Texas and they would then be good old American laws.

It's not like there's a global Sharia court somewhere "foreign".

Spend five minutes listening to Bill Warner explain about Sharia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmyGC96ClcE#t=48

The speech goes from 7:00 to 49:30 42 1/2 minutes

I’d like you to listen starting at 49:30 for a few minutes. The rest of it he answers questions.

If this hits your taste buds the right way go back to the starting point.

I found him to be amusing and very intelligent.

“You’re a year off. it was passed last year.”

And they say that Texans are slow, LOL.

Now, y’’all just hold your horses ‘cause we’re fixin’ to have another legislative session anytime now, soon, sorta, maybe.

Thanks. I listened as you suggested but he didn’t discuss Sharia and certainly not how it may interact with our legal system.

That tells me they recognize it.

Obama will immediately direct the Department of JustUs to sue Texas over this law.

You watch.

Muslims are prohibited from recognizing any law but sharia.
They are religiously obligated to convert or kill all non-muslims and see that everyone in the world submits to sharia.
