federal district court voids anti-sharia law

That is inane. Supporting Sharia Law over more secular legislation is against the first Amendment. The courts can't, say, support some idiot throwing rocks at some chick to kill her for sleeping with somebody because the Bible tells them it is cool, they shouldn't support any religious decree over constitutionally passed legislation.

did you read the article?

it appears that the actual ruling pertained to civil sharia rather than criminal

No it'snot inane. The whole anti-sharia law was pure bigotry.

If the first place neither international law nor sharia law have legal standing in the United States. In the second place the whole intent of this law was to stigmatize Muslims.

This was another bigoted right wing solution in search of a problem....or more accurately, in search of a victim to demonize.

This might make sense if there wasn't a court that used Sharia to make a ruling, however there was so this is just blather.

You're right about one thing. Oklahoma's anti-sharia law is pure blather. There is not one case where you can site a precedent of any US court using Sharia that withstood legal jurisprudence and don't site me the asinine case in New Jersey that was thrown out on appeal, never established a legal precedent, nor ever had the force of law. It's an ignorant argument as the decision was overturned because it and the Judge who made it VIOLATED US LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This idiotic piece of legislation is unconstitutional as it descriminates against one religion, show preference to another religion nor does the State of Oklahoma demonstrate any compelling interest what so ever to abridge Muslims constitutional rights. The only purpose this law serves is to discriminate against people on the basis of religion.

Watch what you wish for Damo. If this filthy piece of bigotry can be used against Muslims it can be used against Jews, Native Americans, and even certain Christian sects. The Federal Courts made the right decision in upholding the constitutional rights of Muslims.

Oklahomans or "Okies" have withstood a long standing stereotype of being backwood illiterate ignoramouses and this State Law only enhances their reputation for being ignorant bafoons. I wonder if they even have the remotest clue of how badly they have embarrased our nation with this inane, frivioulous, uncalled for, uneeded, bigoted and hatefull legislation. One can only surmize that the Klan mentality must be alive and well in Oklahoma. This was even more stupid, ignorant and embarrasing to this nation as when retro-reactionaries in Kansas tried to ban the teaching of evolution a few years back.

I'm thinking you may be misunderstanding.

I have stated: The courts cannot use Sharia Law to make a ruling. I have stated that this is inane because the courts cannot do that. However, ignoring a ruling because a later court overturned it is a bit striking. The reality. The inane law was passed because there are judges out there that ignore the constitution and one which ruled using Sharia, which is not something that they can do...

Anyway. So long as the higher courts keep Sharia out of our court system, we'll be good to go.
 
I guarantee Mutt would go apeshit if a court used the Ten Commandments in a ruling, and he would support a law to prohibit its use. He's just on the suck-up-to-Islamic-radicals bandwagon, like most of the left-wing hacks.
