VICTORY: Multiple States Have Now Banned Sharia Law
May 16, 2014
There is a movement within the Islamic religion that is engaged in a global jihad, which seeks to spread a radical Islamic ideology around the world, and subjugate other religions and peoples.
Part of that global jihad is the imposition of Islamic civil law, better known as Sharia law, on the courts and governments that serve the broad civilian population of regions or municipalities with growing Muslim populations.
Sharia law is a code of laws that treats women and children as second-class citizens and allows for things like family honor killings, beheadings and death sentences for adultery or homosexuality, arranged marriages for underage girls, female genital mutilation, and other cruel and unusual punishments that are in direct contradiction to the US Constitution and US code.
But not everyone is sitting back and allowing Sharia law to be implemented in the United States. A number of Hollywood celebrities, including Jay Leno, are protesting the Sultan of Brunei and his chain of hotels, because he is implementing Sharia law in his home country.
A number of states are also standing up in response to Islamic attempts at imposing Sharia law in the US. Oklahoma passed a law that directly outlawed Sharia law, but it was ruled unconstitutional because it directly discriminated against the Islamic faith.
However, states like North Carolina and Florida have figured out a way to try and ban Sharia law in their states without directly discriminating against any one faith or race, by outlawing the use of any “foreign code of law” in US courts.
Florida, which has been trying to ban Sharia unsuccessfully for four years, has a new piece of legislation that reads, in part:
Defines “foreign law, legal code, or system”; specifies public policy on application of foreign law, legal code, or system in proceedings relating to dissolution of marriage, support, time-sharing, UCCJEA, & UIFSA; provides that certain decisions rendered under such laws, codes, or systems are void; provides that certain contracts & contract provisions are void; provides for construction of waiver by natural person of person’s fundamental liberties, rights, & privileges guaranteed by state or federal constitutions; provides that claims of forum non conveniens or related claims must be denied; provides that act doesn’t require or authorize court to adjudicate, or prohibit any religious organization from adjudicating, ecclesiastical matters in violation of specified constitutional provisions or to conflict with any federal treaty or other international agreement to which U.S. is party to specified extent.
Other states around the country need to follow the lead of states like North Carolina and Florida, and pass legislation that forbids courts within their borders from using or considering foreign codes of law that are incompatible with the US Constitution or US code.
Sharia law presents a danger to the American and western way of life. It considers women and children as property, and doesn’t respect the basic fundamental rights of human beings. For those that insist upon living under a strict ideological set of laws, they should live in a country or region that already has implemented and recognizes Sharia law, instead of trying to impose it upon people that want nothing to do with it.
