A popular new law that bars Oklahoma courts from considering Islamic law, or Shariah, when deciding cases was put on hold Monday after a prominent Muslim in the state won a temporary restraining order in federal court.
Two state legislators were quick to blast the judge's ruling and the Oklahoma attorney general, who they said did not stand up to support the new law.
Duncan and Sykes both said the state should have challenged whether Awad had the standing to bring the case.
As far as we know, he flew into here from Georgia just to make the case," Duncan said. "We dont think he is an Oklahoma resident or plans to stay. We dont think he had standing.
Oklahoma state Rep. Rex Duncan, who co-sponsored the bill, said he hadnt seen the judge's written ruling yet, but he was disappointed that her words from the bench indicated she had completely embraced the plaintiffs arguments.
They were pretty extraordinary statements from the judge, he said.

This is exactly why the law is needed. You just can't trust these liberal judges.
