Kansas Bans Islamic Law

By Kevin Murphy, Reuters

13 May 12



ansas lawmakers have passed legislation intended to prevent the state
courts or agencies from using Islamic or other non-U.S. laws in making
decisions, a measure critics have blasted as an embarrassment to the
state.

The legislation, which passed 33-3 in the state Senate on Friday and
120-0 previously in the House, is widely known in Kansas as the "Sharia
bill," because the perceived goal of supporters is to keep Islamic code
from being recognized in Kansas.

The bill was sent to Republican Governor Sam Brownback, who has not
indicated whether he will sign it.

In interviews on Saturday, a supporter of the bill said it reassured
foreigners in Kansas that state laws and the U.S. Constitution will
protect them. But an opponent said the bill's real purpose is to hold
Islam out for ridicule.

Kansas Representative Peggy Mast, a lead sponsor of the bill for the past
two years, said the goal was to make sure there was no confusion that
American laws prevailed on American soil.

Mast said research showed more than 50 cases around the United States
where courts or government agencies took laws from Sharia or other legal
systems into account in decision-making.

Commonly, they involved divorce, child custody, property division or
other cases where the woman was treated unfairly, Mast said.

"I want people of other cultures, when they come to the United States, to
know the freedoms they have in regard to women's and children's rights,"
said Mast, a Republican. "An important part of this bill would be to
educate them."

State Senator Tim Owens, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said
there was no need for legislation reaffirming American laws that already
exist. All the proposed legislation does, he said, was target one
particular group - Muslims - for discrimination.

'Utter Nonsense'

"It's based on fear, it's based on intolerance and it is not based on
understanding of the Constitution," said Owens, a Republican, who said
the measure is an embarrassment to Kansas.

"People will ask, 'How narrow has that state become?'" Owens said. "How
unwelcoming is this state?"

He said non-U.S. companies may be unwilling to do business in a state
whose residents object to "anything different than what they think is
appropriate."

Roughly 20 states have considered legislation similar to what has passed
in Kansas, said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-
Islamic Relations in Washington. Some state legislatures, including
Kansas, have passed laws that do not mention Sharia by name, he said.

Hooper said there was a movement by conservative-leaning state
legislatures to introduce anti-Islam bills that have no legal foundation.

"Really, the goal seems to be (to demonize) Islam and (to marginalize)
American Muslims," Hooper said. "Some (states) have passed these watered-
down bills and declared a great victory. It's utter nonsense, but if your
goal is to promote intolerance, I guess you won."

After Oklahoma voters approved a law in 2010 barring state judges from
considering Sharia law specifically in making decisions, federal courts
granted an injunction preventing the law from taking effect.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver
upheld the injunction, ruling the law unfairly discriminated against a
particular religion.

Sharia, or Islamic law, covers all aspects of Muslim life including
religious obligations and financial dealings, and opponents of state bans
say they could nullify wills or legal contracts between Muslims.

A report earlier this year showed that nearly a third of Americans
believed American Muslims want to establish Sharia law in the United
States.

The same report, by the Brookings Institution and the Public Religion
Research Institute, showed 88 percent of Americans acknowledged knowing
little about Muslim beliefs.

The article says that the bill would prohibit courts from considering
Sharia for legal decisions. Not just Sharia, but ANY non-U.S. law.

Suppose I insult the Muslim "prophet" Mohammed. Under Sharia this is
considered blasphemy and punishable by death. An Islamist mob arrests me
and hauls me into an American court and demands that the judge sentence
me to death. My actions are perfectly legal under U.S. law, so can the
judge consider foreign Sharia law and sentence me to death? Even if I
were a Muslim and "consented" to abiding by Sharia, can I really consent
to being executed for something that is legal within the borders of the
country I reside in?

Except the Constitution already covers the former (first amendment, you
know), and as for the latter, define "non-U.S. law". Does this mean that
because many other nations had laws against murder before the US did,
courts may not enforce laws against murder?

No, the judge may not consider Sharia law under existing circumstances.
Nor can he have someone tried for dancing on Sundays, no matter how the
Baptists feel about it.

Could be.

But really, what you are agreeing to is that the Republicans in Kansas
are idiots. Which is hardly a surprise.

Sharia law, Jewish Law, Catholic law, none of them have any standing
in
the US.

The only law any judge can apply is US law.

So tell us why this law is necessary?

Congress on both sides no doubt passes pointless laws. I think it
was Kansas that having sex with your wife in anything other that the
missionary position was sodomy. Politicians are not rational people
many times.


Think of al the money both sides have wasted proposing laws that they
knew would be passed. All for politics. Then think of the laws
passed they knew would not pass the courts. That to is a waste.

So to answer your question. Beats me.

Sure as long as that same "secular government " did not interfere in
my beliefs. Well as long they caused no harm.

I'm Christian and see nowhere that we are to force our beliefs on
others. There is a town in Florida mostly wicca liked this verse I

But your original post criticized the Kansas legislature for passing a
bill that would ensure that courts would be prohibited from considering
Sharia in their rulings.

That makes no sense at all, since U.S. law prohibits murder. What you
are advocating is the recognition of a *FOREIGN* legal system that
criminalizes actions that are perfectly legal under U.S. law.

Your attempt to compare Sharia to Jewish law doesn't work, since Jewish
law only applies to Jews, and no case of the death penalty for violating
it has been recorded in centuries. A Jew who eats pork may be
stigmatized, but not killed. A Muslim who insults the "prophet" Mohammed
*IS* killed, and a non-Muslim who insults the "prophet" Mohammed is also
killed. I could write "Moses was a pork-eating pedophile" and not worry
about being killed for it, and most Jews would not even care, much less
put a bounty on my head.

As I am planning a major world trip in the next year or two, I have read
about some bizarre foreign laws. One involves an American citizen of
Thai descent who insulted the King of Thailand from his U.S. ISP. Then
he traveled to Thailand and was immediately arrested and imprisoned. No
comparison, since Thai law was not considered by a U.S. court. There may
be some similar cases where an American "blasphemed" a religion, only to
be imprisoned upon traveling to a country where that religion is
protected by law. But there is no precedent for an American to be
imprisoned for "blaspheming" a religion under U.S. law. What is illegal
in Thailand or Saudi Arabia is perfectly legal here, and to suggest that
foreign standards be used to judge the "blasphemer" is unconstitutional
and downright un-American.

You have argued that any attempt to prohibit judges from considering
Sharia "law" in their decisions is "racist." Now you try to compare
Sharia to Baptists, though of course you are unable to cite any court
ruling based on Baptist "law." Your hatred of white Southerners is well
established, leading me to wonder whether your support for 7th-century
Muslim culture is not really a reaction to 19th-century Southern American
culture. If slavery is the real issue, consider that modern-day Islam
still practices slavery. Get your priorities right, already.

Zepp doesn't answer anyone who poses a question or factoid he can't
refute.

If you're lucky, he will just ignore you. If you push too many buttons,
he will accuse you of forging every webpage you cite. He still accuses
me of having forged an imaginary history of currency devaluation and
hyperinflation in Mexico in the 1980s, and every citation to support my
claim has been met with deafening silence. At some point you realize you
are dealing with a raving lunatic who lives in his own little fantasy
bubble universe, and you quit trying to convince him of anything.

Your headline is dishonest (there's a shock...). The story states
that law must be judged based on state law only not something outside

But Americans didn't think of it FIRST! That what the ignorati in Kansas
have passed without realizing it; a document recognizing a law only if it
is unique to America.

US Law also prohibits granting secular authority to churches. That
didn't seem to stop the Kansas morons, did it?

They were executing Jews for collaboration with the enemy as recently as
World War II. And Jewish law applies to Jews only, and like Sharia Law
in America, has no legal standing.

Try criticizing Israel. They won't kill you, but they'll sure try to
punish you for it.

Some beliefs need to be interfered with. Should

Mitchell, I am not saying that I disagree with you, but what is your
logic that the government should interfere with a religion that
practices polygamy, or the right of Christian Scientists to deny medical
care to their children?

If you would treat each issue separately, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

While this law might seem at first glance to be foolish, stop and
consider that within the past few months, we have had a US Supreme Court
Justice defend the use of foreign law in US courts. This may be nothing
more than an attempt by the Kansas legislature to ensure that Kansas
judges base their rulings only on US law.

I don't believe the government should interfere with polygamy. As for
children, they are incapable of giving consent, and therefore afforded
protection under the law.

Faith-healing parents charged in baby's death

OREGON CITY, Ore. — A couple whose church preaches
against medical care are facing criminal charges
after their young daughter died of an infection that
authorities said went untreated. Carl and Raylene
Worthington were indicted Friday on charges of
manslaughter and criminal mistreatment in the death
of their 15-month-old daughter Ava. They belong to
the Followers of Christ Church, whose members have
a history of treating gravely ill children only with
prayer.

Ava died March 2 of bronchial pneumonia and a blood
infection. The state medical examiner’s office has
said she could have been treated with antibiotics.

Dr. Christopher Young, a deputy state medical examiner,
said the child’s breathing was further hampered by a
benign cyst on her neck that had never been medically
addressed, The Oregonian reported.

You think a one-line opinion on a speech by a Justice amounts to an
actual cite?

And that she said something like that doesn't mean that foreign law is
applicable in American courts, or that she was suggesting such. Here's
what else is reported:

She [Ginsburg] said the controversy was a misunderstanding between being
bound by foreign law and merely citing it as a wise influence. She had
this to say:

“I frankly don’t understand all the brouhaha lately from Congress and
even from some of my colleagues about referring to foreign law … Why
shouldn’t we look to the wisdom of a judge from abroad with at least as
much ease as we would read a law review article written by a professor?”

Well here you come up with my problem with believing what you will

underage so no. Difficult this one.

JW also do something similar as they won't allow Blood transfusions.

And yet your original post criticizes Kansas' attempt to prohibit judges
from considering Sharia law. Do you even think about what you are
posting before you hit the send button?

Notice how Zepp still refuses to acknowledge his error on Mexican
hyperinflation. As usual, he changes the subject and resorts to a
personal attack, this time accusing me of having invented imaginary trips
to Europe and Asia, with photographs of my passport stamps and archived
Google posts with traceable IP addresses unable to convince him. He
projects his own lack of a life on others, and this combined with his
refusal to concede he is wrong about anything suggests a person who is
seriously disturbed.

Three Republican freshmen in the New Hampshire state legislature are
introducing a measure requiring that all new bills be justified by
direct quotations from the British Magna Carta of eight centuries ago.

Polygamy would entail an extension of familial rights, and it would still
be up to individual families to determine inheritance, next-of-kin status
and the like.

The Mormons were coerced into renouncing polygamy--having fled the United
States once (to Utah) they were given the choice of accepting a Christian
imposition on secular law, or fleeing again.

Where does it say that? Good job your one of those atheist that

No person should be required to follow Christian teaching, Muslim

As a matter of fact they DON'T eat dog. It's considered 'unclean' and an
observant Moslem has very nearly the same dietary rules as an observant
Jew.

And yes, there are exceptions, because Islam is a world-wide phenomenon
that exists in hundreds of cultures, just like Xianity. There are Xian
countries were they eat guinea pigs. And others where they eat dog, or
horses, and monkeys. You're an Xian--do you eat horses?

I know that. Been to the Middle East. Seen those that follow
Islam and Islamist. Sorry had the misfortune of being there when a
teen Club was bombed. Saw it and will never believe the excuses
liberals give why it was OK. I'm a little biased about Islamist as to
me they are dog excrement and to be near one is like stepping in Dog
excrement in bare feet.

No never as had them as pets. There are some that have I'm sure.

The followers of Islam I knew from Florida were a good people. They
rejected the Radical Islamist teaching.

I have not said that the government should interfere with polygamy, in
fact I have said exactly the opposite.

Faith healing is another matter, one with which I struggle. On the one
hand, I think that society has an obligation to protect those who cannot
protect themselves. On the other hand I believe that the final authority
on treatment of a minor child must rest with the parents, unless it can
be shown that they are unable or unwilling to protect their child. The
bottom line is that if the person who wishes to embrace faith healing is
a responsible adult, their wishes should be respected. Where minor
children are involved, each case should be treated on a case by case
basis. If the life and safety of the child is not at risk the government
should stay out of it.

That's not the way I interpret it. The Kansas law prohibits judges from
considering foreign law in their rulings, meaning only American law can
be considered. The American law does not have to be unique to America.
Blasphemy is illegal under Sharia but free speech under American law.
There is no American law against blasphemy, so the judge cannot consider
Sharia. Murder is illegal under American and Sharia law, but the judge
is only considering American law when issuing his sentence.

You did make a weak point about the Kansas law singling out Sharia but
not Christian or Jewish law. I haven't read the text, but a good lawyer
would make sure that the law was neutral -- banning consideration of
*ALL* non-U.S. legal codes by judges. This shouldn't be necessary, but
lately leftists have been demanding that Islamists be allowed to operate
Sharia within the borders of Western nations -- in the name of religious
freedom -- even though Sharia violates almost every principle Western
civilization and constitutional law stands for, including freedom of
speech and religion.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/05/anti-sharia-
victory-in-kansas.html

"The measure doesn't specifically mention Shariah law, which broadly
refers to codes within the Islamic legal system. Instead, it says that
courts, administrative agencies or state tribunals can't base rulings on
any foreign law or legal system that would not grant the parties the same
rights guaranteed by state and U.S. constitutions."

"The bill passed both chambers by wide margins because even some
legislators who were skeptical of it believed it was broad and bland
enough that it didn't represent a specific political attack on Muslims."

Why limit a marriage of more than two people destructive?

How is same sex marriage destructive? What would change for the
worse? And why can gays adopt kids while being unmarried? If you
really a had legitimate concern about the destruction of society as
you know it (whatever it is that you think it is), you'd be more anti-
adoption for gays than anti-marriage. In a marriage, two gays only
end up "corrupting" each other; in adoption, a gay parent could
possibly end up "corrupting" the child.

Read what I wrote. I very deliberately did not say that same sex
marriage is destructive. Many who advocate against same sex marriage say
that it is. Roselles seems to say that polygamy is destructive, and I
believe that in the past he has expressed support for same sex marriage.
I was asking him to explain why one os more destructive than the other.

You are correct, that was very poorly worded.

The question should have read like this:

Why is a marriage of more than two people any worse than a marriage of
only two people?

So on the one hand you say that you didn't say that same sex marriage
is destructive, yet on the other hand you ask Roselles to explain why
one is more destructive than the other. Implying, of course, that you
believe the other (gay marriage) is destructive, since Roselles
doesn't seem to think it is because he claims plygamy is the
destructive one, or so you claim he claims. Do you see why nobody can
swallow what you think about anything? Because you're not even honest
about what you yourself think. It keeps slipping through all those
"oops" things you say, and without you even realizing it, which is the
worst part of your ignorance.

Perhaps because there's more than one other person to deal with and
satisfy? It's tough enough as it is just to get along with one other
person. Not only that, but what about death benefits? Which
surviving spouse gets the benefits? All of them? That would mean
sharing among the 4 wives the $80 the guy left them, when a single
wife could have all $80 for herself. If you want to have multiple
women, don't marry any of them. What's the point? Just live with
them. That way, you can dump any one of them at any time that she
gets on your nerves, no mess, no fuss.

Marriage - it's way too overrated.

OK, so you're a bit squeamish. Take a cultural anthropology class. Most
cultures have or have had polygamous marriages in an amazing variety of
forms over the centuries. Most have produced extremely stable societies
and succeeded brilliantly in the primary goals of marriage: providing
immediate community and raising healthy children.

As usual, your arguments lack any sort of sense.

First Amendment.
The religious test clause.

Read the Constitution, geniuses. Sharia law is ALREADY illegal. So are
Christian, Jewish, Mormon, and Scientology law.

Actually, they already have.

Among the main components of Sharia is what we refer to as the Old
Testament. That includes Leviticus, which is what these self-same
morons always cite as "proof" that God hates the gays.

The Constitution, thankfully, bans all religious law. Thank God. So,
basically, the people of Kansas think they're getting Heavenly Brownie
Points for passing a law that's already law.

Not illegal, specifically, but certainly not recognized by any American
court.
