Terror-linked CAIR opposes the ballot question…so conversely, CAIR supports the use of sharia law in U.S. courts?
EDMOND — State lawmakers say it’s a pre-emptive strike against Sharia law, needed to prevent here what has happened in the United Kingdom.
State Question 755, which likely will be on the ballot in November, would make in-state courts rely on federal and state laws when deciding cases and forbid courts from using international law or Sharia law when making rulings.
The proposal, which has an Edmond connection, would amend Article 7, Section 1 of the Oklahoma Constitution, and stems from House Joint Resolution 1056, dubbed the “Save Our State” amendment, passed during the just-finished legislative session.
State Rep. Lewis Moore, R-Edmond, a co-author of HJR 1056, said he wanted to express his support very early for the legislation, which is needed because of the “onslaught” coming Oklahoma’s way.
“I don’t think we should accept or encourage Sharia law in any way, shape or form,” Moore said.
State Rep. Rex Duncan, R-Sand Springs, primary author of HJR 1056, said Oklahoma is the first state to pass such legislation and he hopes other states will follow.
Duncan, an attorney who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, said the amendment is needed because judges in other states and on the federal bench have increasingly cited international law in their decisions. He said he feels that action is inappropriate in a sovereign state.
Duncan said Sharia law is entrenched in the United Kingdom.
“It is a cancer upon the survivability of the UK,” Duncan said. “SQ 755 will constitute a pre-emptive strike against Sharia law coming to Oklahoma.”
State Sen. Anthony Sykes, R-Moore, a co-author of HJR 1056, said American courts are being more frequently challenged that international law should trump U.S. law.
“Sharia law coming to the U.S. is a scary concept,” Sykes said. “Hopefully the passage of this constitutional amendment will prevent it in Oklahoma.”
The legislation behind SQ 755 was inspired by the realization, through media observation, that Islam is spreading into America at an alarming rate, and that activist judges are beginning to give credence to “international law,” Duncan said.
Duncan said reaction to the proposal has been entirely positive, and he believes as Oklahomans become aware of the measure they will support it overwhelmingly.
The Edmond Sun called on the standard Islamist taqiyya masters without even challenging their blatant lies, via Sharia law, courts likely on 2010 ballot

Creeping,
There is no question that CAIR supports the use of Sharia law. All jihadists do, including stealth jihadists.
great idea
hope it passes
we may all have to move to OK
WAY TO GO OKLAHOMA!
YOU’RE OK WITH ME!!
Man up, Oklahoma. This is a must for EVERY state in USA, as we cannot count on white house, higher courts, or elsewhere to have enough sense to defend our hard won freedoms from CREEPING sharia !! STOP the appeasement!!
In arguing for this ballot question, it needs to be done on the basis of the principle of the separation of powers of church and state.
Shariah Law is a part of the theocracy and under Shariah there is only one religion. This goes against the whole purpose of that principle.
Good luck to Oklahoma. I hope the ballot is successful. We in Australia will be watching.
I hope it passes! Good going to my Home State!
I live in Texas and am very proud of our neighbor to the North. Keep up the good work. Set an example for the rest of the States. God bless you!

GOOD FOR OK! I am in the process of starting the same kind of legislation in the state of Alabama.
I have no sympathy or like for organizations such as CAIR because they do NOT denounce the violence and hatred that their religion promotes, but instead they cry racism and cry bigotry when someone in AMERICA promotes laws to PROTECT AMERICA AND AMERICANS from this heathen religion.
Here’s some TRUTH for you. Read it and pass it on:
This makes sense and we best pay attention to it.
We AII all need to read it from start to finish.
Maybe this is why our American muslims are so quiet
and not speaking out about any atrocities.
Can a good muslim be a good American?
CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?
Theologically – no. . . . Because his allegiance is to allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Religiously – no. . . Because no other religion is accepted by his allah except islam (quran, 2:256)
Scripturally – no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of islam and the quran.
Geographically – no . Because his allegiance is to mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially – no. . . Because his allegiance to islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews .
Politically – no. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically – no. .. . Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (quran 4:34 )
Intellectually – no. . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically – no. . . . Because islam, muhammad, and the quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually – no. . . Because when we declare ‘one nation under God, the Christian’s God is loving and kind, while allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the quran’s 99 excellent
names.
Therefore, after much study and deliberation…. Perhaps we should be VERY SUSPICIOUS of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. – - – They obviously cannot be both ‘good’ muslims and good Americans. Call it what you want, it’s still the truth and you had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.
The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. ….
Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

I am trying to inform our state legislatures on the the law (proposed or inacted?) Oklahoma has in regard to Sharia Law. These home grown terrorists are subverting our way of life, government and culture and they must be stopped. Please send me a copy of the law so that I may pass it on to my representatives in the State house. Thank you, Michael Wood
