Kansas Governor Signs Anti-Sharia Bill, Banning Islamic Law

Huff Post

KANSAS CITY, Kan., May 25 (Reuters) – Republican Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill aimed at keeping state courts and agencies from using Islamic or other non-U.S. laws when making decisions, his office said on Friday, drawing criticism from a national Muslim group.

The law has been dubbed the “sharia bill” because critics say it targets the Islamic legal code. Sharia, or Islamic law, covers all aspects of Muslim life, including religious obligations and financial dealings. Opponents of state bans say they could nullify wills or legal contracts between Muslims.

Supporters said the law will reassure foreigners in Kansas that state laws and the U.S. Constitution would protect them. Opponents said it singled out Muslims for ridicule and was unnecessary because American laws prevail on U.S. soil.

  1. i support the Governor of Kansas “for state courts and agencies from using Sharia….” because the Sharia that they are going to implement soon is a “fantasy sharia” using the “Ijma’ulamak” and soon US and other moderates countries on Islam shall become like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan….those countries are implementing a Sharia that had nothing to do with the real teaching of Prophet Muhammad saw.
