After years of debate, the South Carolina House passed a bill to block Islamic sharia law from being recognized or approved in the state. The legislation was passed with sixty-eight for the bill and forty-two opposed. For those of you who don’t know, sharia law is the legal and political system mandated in the Koran and other
Islamic texts includes laws governing religious practice, divorce, child-rearing, free-speech, clothing, sexual behavior and a plethora of other things that the government should really have no control over. These are the guiding principles of those who practice Islam.
Knowing this, it seems rather contradicting that liberals are so persistent on protecting Muslims and seeing that everybody goes out of their way to respect their practices, especially since sharia law makes women and non-Muslims lesser in status and grants men enormous power over wives, daughters and sons. It also allows for “honor killings” by fathers for anybody who refuses to comply.

This is America, American laws only
Way to go SC!
It doesn’t belong in USA.
My question is that is the way of life u want to live then why the hell are I here??????
I just don’t understand why we, as Americans have to.pass laws to put down laws that DON’T BELONG IN OUR COUNTRY…That should go without saying…You want Sheria law….Go back to the middle East
GET RID OF ALL MUSLIMS IN AMERICA
Sharia law should be practiced in Muslim countries. These practices have no place in our American culture or our American values!
Just read a Muslim women went out side of her house and was kill because of it. They can’t go unless their husband takes them
And why is this even being questioned………
while this isn’t exactly “f**e news” it sure is misleading.
The bill would have made it illegal for lawyers to present Sharia law as a defense in court. That’s pretty much all it would do. It was not a particularly useful piece of legislation, which is par for the course in SC.
This thing died in the Senate in May 2016. Mostly because it didnt do much in the real world , and may have been unconstitutional anyway. If a lawyer wants to offer religion as a defense, then they should. It will end in a conviction here in SC. http://www.postandcourier.com/politics/ban-on-sharia-law-defense-in-s-c-courts-dies/article_4ec8e74e-51dd-5bfb-b19c-00a9203bdd79.html
