March 3rd, 2011. The 13th Circuit Court Judge Richard A. Nielson ruled that a civil suit between the “Islamic Education Center of Tampa” and four of it`s trusties be settled, not in a court of law, but under “Ecclesiastical Islamic Law”.

To think we got to this point in America, that Sharia Law has come to our courts is outrageous. This is a legal business issue not a personal one that has to do with contracts under the laws of the State of Florida. It is thus not an issue for religious meditation, this is an issue for the courts. This is a legal issue not a religious one.

Circuit Court Judge Richard A. Nielson should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town with a pitch fork up his A$$!
Any questions?

I just sent an email to the governor of Florida about this nonsense. That judge needs to be replaced.

It’s separation of Christian Church and State.... everything else is a protected minority.

I'm of two minds on this.
First, Sharia Law never! So let that appease the red meat chasers here.

But, reading the order, it appears that Judge Nielson of the 13th Judicial Circuit Civil Division is ruling on a motion to submit it to the arbiter. Which would tell me that this is the agreement between the two parties under whatever contract they had.

However, this other thread spells out why even that is problematical:

Any Florida lawyers or folks know more on this?

The next time a thug of any one religion kills another man of another religion for his wallet can his defense claim Sharia law and the passage to “Kill the Infidel Wherever you find them!” as their defense?

Judges can be removed for bad behavior.

I’d say this qualifies.

The people need some sort of remedy against rogue judges. At present we do not have any, and that is some sort of an oversight on the part of the founding fathers and the constitution generally.

The mythical “separation of church and state” only applies to Christianity.

Am cool with it.

Suit between muzzies.... just give ‘em some cheap bomb belts and let them fight it out in a closed military base, closed stadium in one of our ghettos, or some other stage that’s easy to clean up with bulldozers.

Problem solved.

If you look into the history judges were removed for bad behavior. One was removed for swearing in the courtroom. Another was for ignoring an act of Congress.

This is about the fifth time this story has been posted, just this day. And, every time I read the thread, the comments puzzle me. I don't know if people just don't read the order that's attached, or they don't have even an elementary understanding of US contract law to make sense of the ruling.

You're right. This isn't about religion, it's about law. And, in this particular instance, it's about two elements of contract law: Binding arbitration, and something that is known as the choice of law doctrine.

Here's the short moral of the story. If you do not wish Sharia law (or Catholic Canon Law, or Jewish Law) to be applied to contract disputes that you have in contract where you're (willfully) party to binding arbitration under a particular choice of law, THEN DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT.

The people on this thread that are "calling the governor" or pining to have the judge impeached can't even begin to understand the stupidity they're conveying, apparently. The judge did EXACTLY what he should have under the obligations of existing contract law. In this country, contracts have consequences. You should enter them carefully.
