Kansas governor signs measure blocking Islamic law

[ScreamingEagle]

Why would this law be a problem with Muslims unless they want to usurp established U.S. laws....?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a law aimed at keeping the state's courts or government agencies from basing decisions on Islamic or other foreign legal codes, and a national Muslim group's spokesman said Friday that a court challenge is likely.

The new law, taking effect July 1, doesn't specifically mention Shariah law, which broadly refers to codes within the Islamic legal system. Instead, it says courts, administrative agencies or state tribunals can't base rulings on any foreign law or legal system that would not grant the parties the same rights guaranteed by state and U.S. constitutions.

"This bill should provide protection for Kansas citizens from the application of foreign laws," said Stephen Gele, spokesman for the American Public Policy Alliance, a Michigan group promoting model legislation similar to the new Kansas law. "The bill does not read, in any way, to be discriminatory against any religion."

You can't base a decision on foreign law?

What about English common law?

So, you agree with TM that the laws of other countries or religions should be allowable as a basis for legal decisions in the US?

Sounds stupidly redundant to me. It says you can't violate constitutions. Duh.

So in other words, if Islamic law said that a Muslim pharmacist shouldn't dispense abortion pills,

this law says, tough, you have to do it anyway?

lol

No, moron.

It means that if Islamic law said that a Muslim pharmacist in the US shouldn't dispense abortion pills, but US law says you must, then they have to do it anyway.
