Sharia covers civil, commercial, criminal, as well as religious law.
Not health insurance.

The criminal part of Sharia law will not now or ever have any standing in a US criminal court. But what business is it of the state to restrict two Muslim men entering into a business contract that references Sharia law. I say the state has no reason, and that contract would be enforced by the CIVIL COURTS as it should be, in the same way that Jewish Law and Catholic Law is used by CIVIL COURTS all the time.
Jewish and Catholic ecclesiastical law is subordinate to state and federal law. Sharia is not ecclesiastical only, it also encompasses criminal. This is what is being barred as not in comity.
Are you in favor of arranged marriages, after all what business is it of the state to restrict two Muslim men entering into a contract that references Sharia law?
You still confuse criminal with civil. If you violate state or federal law, you will find yourself inside a CRIMINAL COURT. If you are a Hasidic business man who sues another business man (It doesn’t matter if he is also Hasidic) for violating a contract freely agreed to that uses Jewish Law, you will find yourself inside a CIVIL COURT with a judge boning up on his knowledge of Jewish Law.
As I’ve previously said I think worries about business contracts are unfounded, yet you continue to harp on it.
You do know that an arranged marriage is negotiated without the bride?
I continue to harp on the facts, something that is lacking in the world today. I would suggest you take a business law course, and maybe what I have discussed will become clearer to you.
worries about business contracts are unfounded
You are right in your observations in concern with my example. If their is a law prohibiting it, than it is a matter for the criminal court, not the civil.
If you read the bill, then you would know that is what the whole law was about, business contracts, the reason why we have civil courts in the first place.
You see the Florida bill dealt strictly with the civil courts, the place contracts are adjudicated. Without the need to adjudicate contracts there would be no civil courts.
Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 19 20 Section 1. Section 61.040, Florida Statutes, is created to 21 read: 22 61.040 Application of the law of a foreign country in 23 courts relating to matters arising out of or relating to 24 chapters 61 and 88.—
So what is chapter 61? Child custody.
(my bookmarked page no longer exists, so let's get the archived page)
http://web.archive.org/web/20130221041204/http://www.islamic-sharia.org/children/islamic-perspective-on-child-custody-after-divorce.html
"Whoever has custody of a child has to abide by conditions concerning residence and Islamic upbringing, to ensure that the child's welfare is properly cared for. The court may, if necessary, enforce these conditions or direct that the child be given to the next eligible custodian."
So which governs? Sharia, or Florida and U.S. law?
Islam regards insurance as gambling, which is hareem.
************************
How can a muslim obtain a mortgage loan or legally drive a vehicle without having insurance?
Entities wont loan money on houses or cars, without insurance to cover the loss of those assets. Every State requires a minimum of liability insurance by vehicle drivers.
They can’t. Paying interest is hareem, as the queer-ann regards it as usury.
They can rent money though...
