Oklahoma Is New Ground Zero In Battle Over Shari'a Law

The tactic of CAIR and other Islamist supporting groups is to try to use our own laws, and the left's notion of "tolerance", to slowly but surely implement shari'a into the United States, including having shari'a trump the Constitution and our laws.  Stay alert in your own communities for these typw of stories.  Who would have thought we would get a story like this out of Oklahoma?

Muslim Sues Oklahoma Over Anti-Shariah Ballot Measure

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.


The lawsuit against ballot measure, State Question 755 – or better known as "Save Our State" -- seeks a temporary restraining order to block the results of the election from being certified by the state Election Board on Nov. 9. The measure is scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1.

Oklahoma residents approved the measure with 70 percent of the vote in Tuesday's election.


But Muneer Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma who filed the lawsuit, said that the measure is unnecessary because there is no threat of an Islamic takeover of state courts. Muslims make up only 30,000 of the state's nearly 4 million residents – less than 1 percent.

Awad said the measure violates his First Amendment right to freedom of religion because it singles out Islam. He said the measure is just another way to politically savage Muslims.
