Oklahoma Amendment Allows Voters to Ban Sharia Law from Judicial System

Well hot dog I am truly excited that the Oklahoma State legislature is stepping out of the realm of political correctness and into the realm of recognizing the dangers of Islam’s affect on America’s U. S. Constitutional Law. The OK Legislature has passed an Amendment to be ratified by the voters that would ban precedence of Sharia Law and International Law to be used to weigh judicial decisions in Oklahoma State Courts. And I say, “AMEN!”
Unbelievably American Leftists are beginning to line up with the accusations of bigotry against Islam. How hypocritical is that?
The Left since the 1960’s have successfully used judicial activism to ban Christianity from any public display or influence by use of the mythical extra-Constitutional theory of “Separation of Church and State.” Now that Oklahoma is using the same Leftist logic ban religious interpretations to be used in the Oklahoma State judicial system the cry of racism is beginning to grow.
The reality is the First Amendment reads:
ACongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
As to religion the First Amendment elicits that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. The Amendment does not say that religion should have no influence on government. Rather the Amendment says Congress cannot codify law establishing a religion as a State Religion. Oklahoma’s State Amendment merely affirms that activist State Courts cannot codify into law Islamic tenets without an Amendment that changes the paradigm of religious establishment. Thus the State Amendment as per se to the Federal Constitution does prohibit the free exercise of the Islamic religion as long as the religion’s anti-liberty tenets are not codified into law.
I became aware of this “Save our State Amendment” through and ACT for America email that was part solicitation to raise funds to place an ACT for America television program on the air. Below are the highlights of the email:
Oklahoma Legislature sends sharia ban to the voters for approval
Even when the "mainstream media" covers such a story, its bias and ignorance shows
Help us get the ACT! for America TV program on the air!
…
Why is an ACT! for America news and talk TV program so needed?
We all know the politically correct "mainstream media" doesn't report most of the news about the threat of radical Islam and global jihad.
But even when they do, their bias and ignorance shows.
For instance, ABC News posted a story June 14th about the Oklahoma legislature passing a constitutional amendment that would ban judges from using sharia law to decide cases. The amendment now goes to the voters for approval.
But the slant of the story essentially belittled the legislature for taking this action. It began with the title, "Islamic Sharia Law to Be Banned in, ah, Oklahoma."
It insinuated that such legislation is unnecessary since "only 30,000" Muslims live in the state of 3.7 million people.
It obviously escaped the writer's notice that Oklahoma's percentage of Muslims is about equal to the percentage of Muslims in all of America.
And of course, it's highly doubtful that the writer knows that Texas had a case remanded to the "Texas Islamic Court" earlier this decade.
The writer states there are five sharia courts in the UK. Nonsense. There are dozens.
The ACT! for America TV program will take stories like these and strip away the political correctness, expose the bias, and report what the uninformed media does not.
Airing 26 shows, rebroadcasting each of them once, and broadcasting the shows on the web, gives us the potential to reach millions of people with the unvarnished truth.
No other organization doing what ACT! for America does has this opportunity.
Will you be one of those 550 people to take us over the top so we can proceed ahead with our plans to produce these programs?
Please click here today and join our "Media Month" campaign to get ACT! for America on television with our own news and talk program!
ACT for America nails the reason a television program needs to exist to counter the propaganda the Islamophile Main Stream Media (MSM). The MSM and unindicted coconspirator CAIR are blow horning that the Oklahoma legislature are bigots against Muslims. Query: How is it bigotry to keep religious law out of the Judicial process particularly when America’s Founding Documents are rife with the Judeo-Christian tenets of Western Justice and mercy. Sharia Law in comparison to Western Law is harsh, Islamic Supremacist and brutally repugnant to American Liberty.
How does Sharia Law differ from concepts of America’s Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness or the Bill of Rights in general?
Before Independent and Centrist voters are fooled by Islamic and Leftist apologists concerning Sharia Law here is a cursory comparison of the U.S. Constitution and Sharia Law courtesy of Bill Turner written about a half a year ago.
