What Muslims Are Doing In Retaliation To Shariah Law Being Banned In Alabama When the people of Alabama entered the polls last week, they were given the option to vote on a serious matter: whether or not to ban foreign laws from being enforced or recognized in their state. The amendment passed with a strong majority, ensuring that Sharia Law will never be recognized or imposed in the states court. The following Amendment was added to the Alabama Constitution: Called The American and Alabama Laws for Alabama Courts Amendment, Amendment 1 relates to the application of foreign law during the legal process involving an Alabama citizen. Foreign law refers to the laws of other countries or cultures. Currently, judges or other legal authorities discern whether foreign law is applied. Amendment 1 would create constitutional protection that foreign law is not applied if it violates the guaranteed rights of Alabama citizens. The Islamic community was instantly outraged at the passing of the law, and deemed it racist. Still, Alabama voters were quick to defend their position: reminding them that Islam is not a race and Sharia Law is in direction opposition (in many cases) to the Constitution. What do you think? Did Alabama do the right thing?
