Oklahoma Judge Sides With Muslims and CAIR, Blocks Oklahoma Sharia Law Banning

Absolute heartache here today, folks as an Oklahoma judge has come out on the side of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and has told the people of Oklahoma to get screwed. The amendment to the Oklahoma state constitution that restricts the use of international law and Sharia Law, which passed with over 70% of the vote of Oklahomans, is now blocked from taking effect because of the ruling of one Judge Vicky Miles-Lagrange.

I have excerpts below from the BBC and also from Logans Warning:

A US federal judge has stopped Oklahoma putting into effect a constitutional amendment to bar courts from considering Islamic law in judgements.

Judge Vicky Miles-Lagrange granted an injunction against the certification of the results of State Question 755.

In her ruling on Monday, Judge Miles-Lagrange said Mr Awad had shown he would have suffered an "injury, specifically, an invasion of his First Amendment rights" if the results of Question 755 were certified.

"Plaintiff has sufficiently set forth a personal stake in this action by alleging that he lives in Oklahoma, is a Muslim, that the amendment conveys an official government message of disapproval and hostility toward his religious beliefs, that sends a clear message he is an outsider, not a full member of the political community, thereby chilling his access to the government and forcing him to curtail his political and religious activities," she explained.

More specifically, this is what the judge had to say further:

“This order addresses issues that go to the very foundation of our country, our (U.S.) Constitution, and particularly, the Bill of Rights. Throughout the course of our country’s history, the will of the ‘majority’ has on occasion conflicted with the constitutional rights of individuals, an occurrence which our founders foresaw and provided for through the Bill of Rights…

“Having carefully reviewed the briefs on this issue, and having heard the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, the Court finds plaintiff has made a strong showing of a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his claim asserting a violation of the Free Exercise Clause.

“As set forth above, plaintiff has shown that the actual language of the amendment reasonably, and perhaps more reasonably, may be viewed as specifically singling out Sharia Law (plaintiff’s faith) and, thus, is not facially neutral.

“Additionally, as set forth above, the Court finds that plaintiff has shown that there is a reasonable probability that the amendment would prevent plaintiff’s will from being fully probated by a state court in Oklahoma because it incorporates by reference specific elements of the Islamic prophetic traditions.

Okay, I'm trying to calm down here and I must say, when this judge said a couple of weeks ago that she needed more time, I had a bad feeling about this. But I have a ton of beefs with this decision but let me pick one....the one argument she makes" that because it incorporates by reference specific elements of the Islamic prophetic traditions."

Well, first of all, calling Sharia Law a "tradition" is complete and utter madness and a sign that this judge is completely clueless about Islam. And what is obvious from this ruling is that a muslim in Oklahoma has a RIGHT to a Sharia court that would supercede the current courts in Oklahoma - how can you not read that into this ruling?

Now, let's look at what the plaintiff in this case, the head of CAIR in Oklahoma had to say after the ruling:

Mr Awad said: "We applaud today's ruling and welcome the opportunity it offers to demonstrate that Oklahoma's Muslim community simply seeks to enjoy the civil and religious rights guaranteed to all Americans."

So there you have it - the weapon that the islamists will continually use against us here in America to gain the upper hand in this country - the U.S. Constitution. Think about that statement by Mr. Awad - he argued that the civil rights of American muslims would be violated by this state amendment...yet he didn't point out in his argument that Sharia Law strips every muslim woman of her civil rights according to the definition by the Constitution. You see, Sharia Law and the Constitution are completely incompatible but the islamists are using the very document they seek to override to establish their right to override it.

So what can we do? Well I am not a Constitutional scholar by any means but it seems to me that we have to move forward quickly with legal action that Islam is not a religion. You saw in the judge's ruling where she stated:

plaintiff has presented evidence that there is a reasonable probability that Muslims, including plaintiff, will be unable to bring actions in Oklahoma state courts for violations of the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act and for violations of their rights under the United States Constitution if those violations are based upon their religion.

And so that is the kicker - as long as Islam is viewed as a religion, it will receive this type of protection. When will someone have the balls and the fortitude to bring Islam to court? When will someone finally make the case in court that just because you call your political ideology a religion, it doesn't protect you under the Constitution?

What we saw yesterday was another terror attack on the United States of America - this one, however, left no dead bodies, no buildings in ruins....no, this was a terror attack by the Soft Jihad....and believe me, it was more effective than more than a dozen 9/11 attacks.

Oklahoma Judge Sides With CAIR and Blocks Sharia ban!


In this disappointing but not surprising update to the elected Sharia ban in Oklahoma Courts, we see that Judge Miles-LaGrange has gone against the will of the people. As she has blocked the certification of the Sharia ban. This is a preliminary injunction, until a final decision is made on the lawsuit. But for now, she just handed Islam a victory.

Here is what the judge had to say.

“This order addresses issues that go to the very foundation of our country, our (U.S.) Constitution, and particularly, the Bill of Rights. Throughout the course of our country’s history, the will of the ‘majority’ has on occasion conflicted with the constitutional rights of individuals, an occurrence which our founders foresaw and provided for through the Bill of Rights…

“Having carefully reviewed the briefs on this issue, and having heard the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, the Court finds plaintiff has made a strong showing of a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his claim asserting a violation of the Free Exercise Clause.

“As set forth above, plaintiff has shown that the actual language of the amendment reasonably, and perhaps more reasonably, may be viewed as specifically singling out Sharia Law (plaintiff’s faith) and, thus, is not facially neutral.

“Additionally, as set forth above, the Court finds that plaintiff has shown that there is a reasonable probability that the amendment would prevent plaintiff’s will from being fully probated by a state court in Oklahoma because it incorporates by reference specific elements of the Islamic prophetic traditions.

“Further, plaintiff has presented evidence that there is a reasonable probability that Muslims, including plaintiff, will be unable to bring actions in Oklahoma state courts for violations of the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act and for violations of their rights under the United States Constitution if those violations are based upon their religion.

“Finally, the Court finds that defendants have presented no evidence which would show that the amendment is justified by any compelling interest or is narrowly tailored.”

This is a perfect example of how Muslims use our freedoms against us, and this also shows us that the US Constitution will not protect us from Islam. Unfortunately it actually enables it.

Of course the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), was thrilled.

“We applaud today’s ruling and welcome the opportunity it offers to demonstrate that Oklahoma’s Muslim community simply seeks to enjoy the civil and religious rights guaranteed to all Americans by our Constitution,” said Awad.

As I have been saying, our laws are not cut out to fight the internal threat of Islam, and if there are not some major changes in them, we will eventually lose this war.
