This State Just Told Shariah Law To Sit Down And Shut Up, Because THIS IS AMERICA According to recent reports, South Carolina is the most recent of seven states to pass a bill permanently banning Shariah Law from their courts and legal system. The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Chip Limehouse, and not surprisingly, it has been met with immense conflict. The law bars any form of foreign law from usurping state law, and passed this week 68 to 42. For the most part, the legislation is symbolicsending a message loud and clear that extremist law will not be tolerated in the state. But it does offer very real protection as well, preserving the American way of life in the state. Shariah Law has been used as a defense in American courtrooms, Limehouse commented. We are working towards making that defense not an option for radical extremists from any countryShariah Law cannot and will not be used as a legal defense in the state of South Carolina. The bill passed early, so it has a good chance of passing in the Senate when it gets there. It just needs to make its way through Governor Nikki Haley, who may choose to veto the legislation. As one source puts it, Shariah law must not be allowed to get its tentacles wrapped around our legal system. It is up to the states to stop it. Seven states is a good start. I hope the rest follow suit. Do you think more states should pass this type of legislation?
