Oklahoma Bans Sharia, Inadvertently Outlaws 10 Commandments

Charles, you’d go ape on any judge who used the 10 commandments as the basis of a ruling. The same should be true of judges using shariah.

Unfortunately, there have been cases in other states where judges did cite shariah as a factor, and some haven’t been pretty - justifying lenient treatment of wife abusers, for instance.

So a law in Oklahoma is good news. If it also prohibits the 10 commandments, and forces judges to focus on American law - better news.
