Sharia Law in Oklahoma
Here is the link to the story about an Oklahoma Ballot Initiative banning courts from considering international law.
"The amendment would require Oklahoma courts to "rely on federal and state law when deciding cases" and "forbids courts from considering or using" either international law or Islamic religious law, known as Sharia, which the amendment defined as being based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed."
A federal judge has issued a permanent injunction to the law until the case is resolved completely.
