So your contention is that Sharia is a religion too?



No. I described it as a religous legal system. Similar to canon law really.

Courts have used Sharia in us courts



Do you have an example of a court case? Preferably one where Sharia law was used to trump US law.

I'm really sorry that you completely ignore what so many people are trying to tell you, Mike.



I'm really sorry you have to constantly play the race card to *have* an argument.

I understand *why* the court ruled the way they did - they had little choice and I referenced that, above. The *effect* of the ruling on future suits is an entirely different matter and one that is being ignored in favor of the usual finger-pointing and cries of racism.

Nobody is suggesting that. .


Exactly
Yet you pick one and not the other


Marc, have you met me? You should certainly know by now I pick NO religion over another.


that is why I am surprised by your postion
You seem to have no problem with a court of the US using Sharia law yet I think it is safe to assume you would NOT want a court to use canon law
This puzzles me



See, this is where Oklahoma went wrong. If they had suggested that laws can't take RELIGIOUS LAW into account, they would have been fine. Of course that would have never flew because there are too many people that think law comes from religion in a contorted weird way and they LIKE the rules of their own particular religions.

But they didn't . . . they singled one out. Ya can't do that and stay Constitutional.

To make your position here have any validity, you have to say that Sharia is a religion

Is that what you are doing?

Sharia law is Islamic law. The two are inseparable. How do you not know this?

>YOU are defending a ruling that says courts in OK CAN use them is they chose

I am defending a ruling that says that judges can consider anything they choose when coming to a verdict - provided they rule per the laws of the state and the country. Do you object to that?

>And by saying NO to the use of canon law YOU are being discriminatory
>by picking one religion over another

A judge can _consider_ canon law or Sharia law if they so choose, as they might do if someone was married under canon or Sharia law, or wrote a will under canon or Sharia law. They cannot base a ruling on it.

Do you object to that?Nope, and that is all the OK vote was about. There is not a religious componet to it UNLES you claim Sharia is a religion

A judge can _consider_ canon law or Sharia law if they so choose, as they might do if someone was married under canon or Sharia law, or wrote a will under canon or Sharia law. They cannot base a ruling on it.



But they have!

Another point

If judges, by law, can not base a ruling on it, why consider it to begin with?

I don't disagree - they *should* have stated 'religious law' and not 'sharia law'.

However, that doesn't mean that the decision does *not* now give an advantage to sharia law over the laws of other religions (are there any others besides canon for the catholics?) due to the specific wording, since the decision can be used in court cases referencing sharia law.
