The Muslims seem to be claiming that their Sharia court does not interfere with state law. I want to know, if this is true, then there's no reason that the bill passed in Texas would effect the Islamic Tribunal. Correct?
Good for her. Dearborn set a terrible precedent and another town in MI is torn apart because of such demands, as well.
I'm all for Muslim American's being able to practice their faith, up to the line where they're no longer interested in following American laws, or are disruptive to non-Muslims.
I have to thank Obama for this. Thanks for letting them invade our country without any vetting process. Although, they might not be related to the refugees that weren't vetted properly to be here, just like the illegals, there are here and soon to be colonizing.
Mayor Van Duyne did the absolute right thing for Texas.
there is no other law that rules any place in the US but US law and our constitution. they can have their mock tribal sessions all day long. it won't ever be upheld in a US court of law.
There have been Jewish courts for generations. They only arbitrate family law (such as divorce) and of course do not supersede US law, but if everyone involved wants to pursue legal action within those constructs, then why does it bother you?
I'm Catholic, but I know enough to say that Sharia Law is not like Jewish courts. Sharia Law is considered Allah's law and no other law matters. If a woman is accused of adultery, whether she's guilty or not, the punishment is flogging or stoning. Testimony of women are considered worth half the testimony of men. Men are given permission to beat their wives.

Have you heard of honor killings? Recently a mother burned her daughter alive for eloping. You really want our laws to ignore that?
You apparently don't know what it means when Muslims in a town are allowed to practice Sharia law.
It was in response to a post that claimed that Deaborn was under Sharia law.
I know that Sharia law can have multiple forms, one form being as simple as being a form of arbitration voluntarily performed by two parties in dispute and leaning on tenets of the teachings of Islam to resolve the dispute.
But educate us all...show us in Dearborn, Michigan, the horrors of Sharia law.

How is that at all similar to Jewish courts?

Again, what part of this implies that religious law would supersede US law?
I hold some parts of Islam as high of esteem as the Catholic belief that I and all others who reject Christ will go to Hell.
