Judge Blocks Okla. Sharia Ban: Case Goes To 'Very Foundation Of Our Country'
Rachel Slajda


A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction against Oklahoma's so-called "Sharia ban," saying the case goes "to the very foundation of our country, our Constitution, and particularly, the Bill of Rights."

Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, who presides over a federal court in the western district of Oklahoma, ruled that a CAIR official suing to block the law will likely succeed in his efforts.

"Specifically, the Court finds that plaintiff has made a strong showing that State Question
755's amendment's primary effect inhibits religion and that the amendment fosters an excessive government entanglement with religion," she wrote. "While defendants contend that the amendment is merely a choice of law provision that bans state courts from applying the law of other nations and cultures, regardless of what faith they may be based on, if any, the actual language of the amendment reasonably, and perhaps more reasonably, may be viewed as specifically singling out Sharia Law, conveying a message of disapproval of plaintiff's faith."

1. Does the judge call the people responsible for that law, dumbasses?

If not, why?
