I’ve been so busy lately that I am days behind in posting good news like this! Oklahoma is looking to become the first state in the Nation to ban Sharia law in a preemptive measure.
From ABC News:
Oklahoma is poised to become the first state in the nation to ban state judges from relying on Islamic law known as Sharia when deciding cases.
The ban is a cornerstone of a “Save our State” amendment to the Oklahoma constitution that was recently approved by the Legislature.
The amendment — which also would forbid judges from using international laws as a basis for decisions — will now be put before Oklahoma’s voters in November. Approval is expected.
Oklahoma has few Muslims – only 30,000 out of a population of 3.7 million. The prospect of sharia being applied there seems remote. But a chief architect of the measure, Republican State Rep. Rex Duncan, calls the proposed ban a necessary “preemptive strike” against Islamic law coming to the state.
ABC and Leftwing lawyers may snicker and joke, but to those of us following the stealth jihad (see our category) in America this is good news.
By the way, I recommend everyone put Jihad Watch on your daily reading list.
