Court Overturns Oklahoma Sharia Law Ban

January 13, 2012 | ISSUE 48•02

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it was discriminatory for Oklahoma to single out Sharia in its ban of religious law and stated there was no evidence the Islamic legal code had influenced the U.S. justice system. What do you think?

What do you mean the judges found it discriminatory? Wasn’t that the whole point?”

This is ridiculous. How am I going to refight this battle when I’ve already moved on to a saggy-pants ban?

Okay, fine, the Muslims win. What’s that dude’s name we gotta worship now?
