The United States relies on one rule of law to rule its country: its own. Knowing that, Oklahoma voters passed "Question 755" on election day, which disallowed Sharia Law from being considered when a trial goes to court, and disallows Sharia Law to be considered in other matters.
However, Muneer Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, does not agree with that ruling. Muneer is now suing the state of Oklahoma, saying that the measure is not only unconstitutional, but unnecessary and that this is just another example of the United States trying to oppress Muslims.
Those in favor of the law cite a case in New Jersey in which a judge struck down a restraining order that a Muslim woman had filed. Even though the woman was raped, the judge stated that "her ex-husband felt he had behaved according to his Muslim beliefs" and therefore did not grant the restraining order. Proponents of the law state that they are trying to prevent cases like these.

I think this is one of the most important referendums ever.
It reminds people this is still America, and we have our own unique philosophy of government.
That should be the stated stance of every single individual running for any office, or being considered for an appointment at any level, anywhere in the United States.
not allowing Sharia to dictate law is against his First Amendment rightsGood. Let's let this piece of monumental illogic have its day in court.
It will serve several purposes, not the least of which will be flushing out any leftist scum judges hiding in the weeds in that part of the country. And of course, it will shine a bright spotlight on just how evil CAIR really is.
So Bring It On, CAIR. Bring. It. On.
Muslim will lose lawsuit and will be running for his life.
Islam is sedition and needs to be suppressed in the US.
...and if you muzzies have problems with that, head on back to that pile of sand from whence you came ASAP — if you can find an airline that will board you.
Looks like Muneer Awad needs a trim. Maybe a foot/foot and 1/2 off the top?
With a dull butter knife.
Well, that's just tough, Awad-hole. If you don't like it, go live in Saudi Arabia.
This muzzie should be deported. If he wants Sharia, go back to the middle east.
bttt!
Since when have muzzie, foreign or international “laws” been part of The American Judicial System? As a sovereign country only due enacted laws of The United States should apply, or even be considered.
If this clown wants Sharia law,he can go to any Muslim country that practices it.Not Here.
Hey A-wad! Eff Off!!
Is this guy even legally here? If not; what first amendment rights? I am getting really tired of hearing about first amendment rights from people that don’t have them. Why doesn’t he return to his own country and fight for his first amendment rights? I’ll bet they could benefit from first amendment rights.
I was wondering when they Muzzies would respond with some lawfare. Didn’t take long!
That is the implicit stance of every person who recites the oath of office. Any office holder who does not oppose Sharia with every oz of his being is breaking his oath.
