Banning Sharia in Oklahoma

Right Truth writes on Banning Sharia Law in Oklahoma.

We already have enclaves of Muslims in the United States where U.S. law is pushed aside and sharia is allowed to rule. We have honor killings in the U.S. On March 22, 2006 I wrote about Muslim enclaves in the U.S., read it all here. Below is an excerpt but I suggest you go read it all:

Just like a prediction out of the book, "Age of Tolerance" by Glen Reinsford, "first in Europe and now in the United States, Muslim groups have petitioned to establish enclaves in which they can uphold and enforce greater compliance to Islamic law." This is no longer theoretical, it is reality.

Muslim organizations first established enclaves in Europe. "The Gwynnoaks Muslim Residential Development group, for example, has established an informal enclave in Baltimore because, according to John Yahya Cason, director of the Islamic Education and Community Development Initiative, a Baltimore-based Muslim advocacy group, "there was no community in the U.S. that showed the totality of the essential components of Muslim social, economic, and political structure."

"In August 2004, a local planning commission in Little Rock, Arkansas, granted The Islamic Center for Human Excellence authorization to build an internal Islamic enclave to include a mosque, a school, and twenty-two homes."

"While the imam, Aquil Hamidullah, says his goal is to create "a clean community, free of alcohol, drugs, and free of gangs," the implications for U.S. jurisprudence of this and other internal enclaves are greater: while the Little Rock enclave might prevent the sale of alcohol, can it punish possession and in what manner? Can it force all women, be they residents or visitors, to don Islamic hijab (headscarf)? Such enclaves raise the fundamental questions of when, how, and to what extent religious practice may supersede the U.S. Constitution."
