You two aren’t thinking that Oklahoma will add other religions to ban, are you?

I think the law is dead in the water, or the authors of the law will somehow try to describe Sharia in ways that sound general but really aren’t. This latter tactic won’t work either.

I can’t speak for reine, but it looks like she’s thinking the the same thing I am: Not that this specific law will add other religions, but that should it pass it would open the door to such. I really don’t see how it could pass since it would be unconstitutional, then again if there was another really bad terrorist attack by radical Islamists (God forbid), I’m not 100% certain that people, our elected officials, or even the courts would keep their heads.

That politicians are comfortable endorsing such bills in this day & age gives me pause, much as it did for you guys with the SF circumcision law that was being pushed.
