OKlahoma voters reject foreign laws

Muslims rise up

Just two days after Oklahoma voters approved a ballot measure banning state courts from considering Islamic or international law when ruling on cases, a local Muslim has filed a federal lawsuit saying the measure is unconstitutional.

Looks like Muslims males feel that they should be protected if their ex wife needs to be punished using force or even raped.

Proponents of the anti-Islamic law measure have cited a New Jersey family court judge's decision not to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him.

The judge ruled that her ex-husband felt he had behaved according to his Muslim beliefs and that he did not have "criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault" his wife.

It seems some liberal judges in Arizona listen to whining from Mexico regarding immigration law fairness.

Well, the Oklahoman measure was unconstitutional. It should be overturned.

The Oklahoma constitution does have constitutional ways to make ammendments and this one was done correctly.

I take it a Muslim should have a right to beating up his ex wife if she deserved it. Twisp is all for rights according to Islam.
Twisp apparently thinks Muslims should be able to do their stonings in front of the Mosque on Fridays.

Actually Twisp makes a common leftist claim. When a politician or judge takes an oath of office, they vow to defend the laws of their state.

Twisp says they should swear that oath and then ignore it.

So Christian cults who believe in polygamy and child sex and etc. etc. etc. should be given that right also ?

I believe the KKK bases their beliefs on the bible also, hmmmm.

The 1st amendment separates church from state already, so there was no need for this measure. The fact that is specifically targets Islam makes it unconstitutional.

So how do they decide which to uphold ? Do you charge the man with assault for beating his wife or let him go because its his religion ?
