State Passes Bill To Outlaw Sharia Law According to recent reports, the South Carolina House has just passed a bill blocking Islamic sharia law from being recognized or approved in the state. The move comes following years of debate over similar legislation. The new regulation is explained as a bill to amend the code of laws of South Carolinaso as to prevent a court or other enforcement authority from enforcing foreign law including, but not limited to, Sharia Law in this state from a forum outside of the United State or its territories under certain circumstance. The legislation passed 68 to 42. Sharia law has come under immense scrutiny in the United States because of the way it treats women, children, and non-Muslims. Men are given strong authority over their wives, daughters, and sons and gives permission to resort to primitive punishment if they are not obeyed. The bill was originally sponsored by Rep. Chip Limehouse. This goes to demonstrate that the South Carolina House of Representatives is committed to preserving and protecting the American way of life here in South Carolina, Limehouse told reporters at Breitbart News. Sharia Law has been used as a defense in American courtrooms. We are working towards making the defense not an option for radical extremists from any country. Limehouse also went on to argue that South Carolina has seen cases where people tried to use Islamic law as a defense. Sharia Law cannot and will not be used as a legal defense in the state of South Carolina, Limehouse concluded. What do you think? Do you support these measures?
