"House Bill 695, entitled "Foreign Laws/Protect Constitutional Rights," is the most recent iteration of legislation intended to keep courts from recognizing Islamic Sharia law in North Carolina. "

Quote :

"At that time, critics and legal experts warned that the broad language of the bill regarding contracts and foreign venues or courts could violate international treaties and admiralty laws and wreak havoc in international business relationships."

Quote :

"The danger of the encroachment of Sharia law is a popular topic on right-wing radio and blogs, but to date, there's little evidence that it's actually happening. Muslim groups say it's a scare tactic used by anti-Muslim activists."

Because Sharia law was this close to becoming the law of the land in the Bible Belt.

It's so ridiculous that it's the same group of people who were trying to pass official state religion bills for NC just a few weeks ago.

5/15/2013 1:02:01 PM

1) Adopt it
2) Bastardize it like current Christianity
3) .....
4) Atheism

Ugh. So sick of NC legislators. 2012 elections definitely brought in the fools. If my parents weren't deteriorating in this state, I'd be gone in a heartbeat

I'm ok with it, if we get a sister bill that's an "anti-christian based-laws" law.

5/15/2013 1:12:11 PM
