Muslims Pushing For Shariah Law In Alabama Get Some Bad News... As we know, a number of states have made the controversial decision to protect their courts from the use of foreign or religious last like Shariah. The latest state to take action was Alabama, recently passing an amendment to their Constitution prohibiting the use of foreign codes in the courtroom. Although the amendment passed by a vote of 72-28%, Muslim groups have decided to speak out about their religious rights and freedom being violated. Of course, the new law does not limit person religious freedoms. Your constitutional rights are not affected by it, claims Eric Johnston, a Birmingham attorney who helped to draft the amendment. Weve got a religious freedom amendment in Alabama. All it says is pay attention to the religious freedom amendment. Womens rights are compromised by Shariah rights if a lawyer in a custody case says, Islam requires you to do this. Its a help to judges. It doesnt create any new laws. What do you think? Do you support the amendment?
