The Case for Banning Sharia Law in America

Oh, I agree totally. That is why I am behind the movement to prohibit the use of Sharia Law in any way in our court system at every level. That's how things get done. We're passing state laws and it's constitutional. It's unconstitutioinal to favor a religion's laws over govt laws. The whole separation of church and state thing, ya know.

You yourself make the argument as to why no law is needed...you said: "It's unconstitutioinal to favor a religion's laws over govt laws"

You said it...it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Then why do you care so much? You just like being contrary and a pain in the ass? We need laws to prohibit dumb ass lefty judges from using it because some evidently have and have wasted taxpayer time and money. Dumb asses.

One of us wants MORE laws passed to further restrict our freedoms and one of us just wants to let our CONSTITUTION deal with any attempt to usurp it's authority through religious law...so tell me again which of us cares more about this?

Who is being contrary and a pain in the ass?

Get a clue. If the courts are using Sharia Law then something is obviously wrong. This is not about religious freedom. If it was about religious freedom then a higher court would not have overturned it. We need to keep it out of the courts in the first place.

Who is allowing our court system to waste taxpayer time and money?

YES, they are. Did you read the OP? Why would you lie for Islamists? Are you a useful idiot who hates his own American culture of freedom and justice?

From the OP:

"The sharia debate in the U.S. is heating up as more and more Americans are reacting to lawyers requesting rulings based on sharia law, and local judges agreeing to make them. This has happened in a New Jersey divorce case, a Maryland child custody case, and most recently in a Florida property case. These cases are now a precedent for other American-Muslim communities. In addition, according to the Center for Security Policy study that was published in May 2011, there are actually over fifty Appellate Court cases from 23 states that all involve conflicts between sharia law and American state law.

You've posted a link to a grand total one ONE case...and that case was overturned.

Until you post the specifics of some others then your description of "courts" is wrong...it should read "court"...singular.

BTW...still waiting for you to post EXACTLY where I endorsed wife beating....not some amorphous quote you attempted to "draw conclusions from", but EXACTLY where I used to phrase wife beating and claimed it was legal under the 1st amendent.

Otherwise admit you were lying.

LOL. You just denied Sharia Law is being used in 23 states in court cases. Why do lie for Islam? How much are they paying you? Maybe your eyesight is failing.

I cannot see why there is a problem about Muslims using Sharia divorce laws to settle disputes, rather than going through the courts where lawyers make vast fees. It is no different to anyone seeking arbitration rather than litigation. Of course, the extreme right wing will claim that it is the thin end of the wedge and Muslims will be sacrificing sheep and demanding public beheadings next.

Why should muslims be allowed to use their religious laws in a court of law when it comes to divorce? Divorce laws are civil laws in the USA. What is you reason for excluding our civil laws in favor of one religion being allowed to use their religious laws?

I can't see any difference between Sharia courts and the Jewish Beth Din rabbinical courts on the subject of divorce.

In New York State, the court cannot enter a judgment of annulment or divorce unless any barriers to religious remarriage by a spouse, the removal of which are within the control of the other spouse, have been removed. Section 253 of the Domestic Relations Law (the so-called "First New York Get Law") provides that, in a contested divorce, any applicant whose marriage was solemnised by a religious celebrant must file a statement that:
he or she has taken, or will take, all steps within his or her power to remove all barriers to the other spouse’s remarriage; orthe other spouse has waived in writing the applicant’s obligation to file the statement. In an uncontested divorce both parties must file such a statement or waive the obligation of the other party to do so. The court cannot enter a final judgment of divorce or annulment unless it receives the statements and, even then, final judgment cannot be entered if the person who solemnised the marriage swears that, to his or her knowledge, the applicant has failed to take all steps within his or her power to remove all barriers to the other party’s religious remarriage. (For a discussion of the issues, see Amicus Curiae brief in Becher v Becher, page 7, New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division - Second Department (1997) 245 A.D 2d 408)

:rolleyes: They aren't excluding our civil laws. They are dissolving the religious marriage. In the US they still have to go through the civil process to have a legal divorce.
 
The House passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming 'In God We Trust' as the national motto.

The measure sponsored by Republican Representative Randy Forbes supports and encourages the motto's display in all public schools and government buildings


'As our nation faces challenging times, it is appropriate for Members of Congress and our nation—like our predecessors—to firmly declare our trust in God, believing that it will sustain us for generations to come,' he continued.

The measure comes at a time when 82.3 per cent of Americans disapprove of the job that Congress is doing.
