First Amendment: An Oklahoma constitutional amendment barring the state's courts from weighing or using Shariah law was struck down in federal court. How can a law written to protect the Constitution be unconstitutional?
Only in the parallel universe of judicial activists in which U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange resides can a law barring a particular religion's influence over court decisions be considered under the First Amendment of the Constitution as an unconstitutional establishment of competing religions.
"While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual's constitutional rights," Miles-LaGrange wrote in her decision.
That individual would be Muneer Awad, a Muslim and U.S. citizen who once was executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and who filed a lawsuit on Nov. 4, 2010, seeking to block the Save Our State amendment that had been approved by 70% of Oklahoma voters two days earlier.
On Nov. 29, 2010, Miles-LaGranfe issued a preliminary injunction, finding that Awad had legal standing and that the amendment likely violated both the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause.

If you are talking about LAW, the free exercise and establishment laws do not apply. There is only one law, and the sharia law cannot co-exist with our law. They can practice their religion all day long, but when their religion trumps the laws of our land we must part ways.
This must be fought against and overturned. I get a headache just trying to figure out how twisted this decision truly is. This judge is bound by the US Constitution and not some radical leftist wet dream. This is outrageous!
Also the Oklahoma Constitution and State Law.
Old Sarge Says Judge Can Fornicate Himself And His Equine Conveyance.
I think we need to behead the judge according to sharia law. /s
America is in deep trouble.
the first game of Cowboys and Goathumpers is fast approaching...
Once you see a hyphenated surname on a document you’re pretty much guaranteed idiocy is to follow.
The article also omits that the case was appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and unanimously affirmed.
Correct, so based on their influence don't trust Muslims who feel bound by these laws which could render them sociopaths with a focus on abusing women and non-Muslims.
The Constitution specifically says that the English Common Law is the basis of decision.(I forget if the clause is in any way modified.)

Bingo! Thou hast "nailed it". Verdict stupidity is absolutely to be expected from persons with such names.
No problem. Just send further amendment laws to the states dialling marriage contracts under Hebronic law.
Same with any other law that offends or could offend a religion.
It could even apply to Mormons who are encouraged under prophecy/doctrine to take many wives and preclude Laminites from the Priesthood.
It’s their religion after all and we no right to infringe on their 1st amendment.
In fact, we can act supra judiciously and under the Jude/Christian laws outlined in Exodus act of our own volition.
Which provides a clear determination, in God’s eyes, that an unborn baby is clearly valuable as a life and that being taken while in the womb has a proscribed punishment for the taker.
Quick and easy dissolution of Roe v Wade.
Miles-LaGrange was nominated by President Bill Clinton on September 22, 1994, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ....
Okay, that's enough of that. She's black, she be down wit' Slick, she be down wit' Osagyefo Redeemer Obama, the Brotherhood, all that.
We get it. Tame judge, forum-shopped by a CAIR scumbag shyster.
Okay so what about Christian and Jewish law? Now they can use that since Sharia is okay?? It’d be a cold day in Heck before I’d submit to any muslim (I don’t dignify muslim by capitalizing it)law in the US.
Sharia Law
Sharia law is the law of Islam. Sharia (also spelled ‘Shariah’) is cast from the Quran, the actions and words of Muhammad, and the collective reasoning and deductions of Muslim imams.
As a legal system, Islam’s Sharia law covers a wide range of subjects. The stipulations of the Sharia law, however, are unlike any other legal system in the world.
According to the Sharia law:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls’ clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad’s words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband’s consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman’s testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man’s.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be Halal.
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• The list goes on.
Sharia is the national law of Saudi Arabia but has been seeping into Europe, UK, Canada and America as Islam expands, led by the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
