Shariah Law Being Used in U.S. Courts to Decide Cases
Islamic law, or Shariah, already is being applied in the U.S. court system, according to an extensive new report.
A recent Center for Security Policy study called “Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases outlines dozens of cases in which the Islamic system of law has been applied.
Center spokesman David Reaboi said the Islamic strictures are being carried out mostly in cases in which foreigners are the principals.
“Shariah enters U.S. courts through the practice of comity to foreign law,” Reaboi explained. “This happens, for example, when a judge decides to allow the use of say, Pakistani or Saudi family law (Shariah) in a dispute between Pakistanis or Saudis.”
He said the study only scratches the surface of Shariah’s presence in the nation.
This is very disturbing. The only laws that should be considered in our country, are our very own laws. If these foreigners wish for judges to take their home countries laws into consideration, then they should stay in their home lands. We wouldn’t travel to Pakistan and commit a crime yet expect to be judged via the laws of the USA. If we don’t preserve our rights and traditions now, there will be nothing left to bother preserving.
