Oklahoma voters vote to ban Sharia law in their state.

[alsame]

1. ROFL. Do they feel safer now? nt

[TlalocW]

7. I'm in Oklahoma.

That one pissed me off. First off, I voted it down because it would be unconstitutional just like it would (or should) be with any other religion. Second off, I know it was just conservatives using it to stir up anti-Muslim fear/hate.

18. Classic wing-nut wedge issue!

[alsame]

21. I'm curious...do you actually know people who thought this was

an issue? Aside from the obvious fear/hate intent, have you met people who think Sharia law was being used in OK?

[TlalocW]

23. I don't talk a lot of politics with people

But the thing is it doesn't matter if people thought it was being or going to be used in OK. Thanks to whatever brave, "Christian," patriots got it on the ballot, we've risen as a people united against those nasty Muslims. That will show 'em!

27. Sad but true. We had the same sentiment issue here in NY with

the 'ground zero mosque'.

[alsame]

22. Dupe.

[Beartracks]

13. At least OK ranks high in Education!

....

..........................



Oh, wait. No they don't. They rank 49th in the country. Never mind.

2. Well, personally.

I would like to see Michigan ban the planting of citrus trees and palms in outdoor landscaping.

Seems to be just a relevant, IMO.

[Mortos]

3. I voted against that one

and about 4 other bullshit right wing proposals. They all passed anyway. You're doing fine Oklahoma. Oklahoma. OK, Now I get to go to work and hear all the gloating. Yay!!!

[FSogol]

4. They should ban attacks by rabid animals next. Think of the lives they could save.

:shrug:

[BeyondGeography]

5. They were just getting even with Iran for their ban on country music

:silly:

[classof56]

6. Oh, good. I have relatives there. Glad to know they're safe from ...

Sharia Law?? :wtf:

I give up!

[babylonsister]

8. LOL! No kidding!

I'm astounded over here! :rofl:

[Arkana]

9. Bet they feel safer now!

Morons.

[Politicub]

10. ROFL!! Crazy

:rofl:


:crazy:

[RagAss]

11. The Republic of Fucktardia has spoken !

[KatyaR]

12. Oh yeah, and we have English as the official language now.

Opt-out of HCR, and Coburn was re-elected--life is GREAT in the Sooner State! :sarcasm: :grr:

And if Fallin's elected governor, I may throw myself off an overpass....

[cynatnite]

14. Why not ban Christian law, too? n/t

[krispos42]

15. So only separation of state and SOME churches? n/t

[BootinUp]

16. Eternal Vigilance!!!!111!!!1111

[readmoreoften]

17. Whew! That's reassuring.

[otohara]

19. Thank God, Now I'll Have Somewhere to Go

When Sharia law becomes the law in Colorado.

[Orsino]

20. Dumbasses forgot to ban Nazi and Soviet law.

We're screwed now.

[Bobbieo]

24. And here I thought Arizona was the 'looney' state.

[AndrewP]

25. That sums up this year perfectly n/t

[clyrc]

26. Embarrassing hardly begins to describe it

There should be a wanting-to-fade-into-the-floor-with-humiliation smilie. My family is from Oklahoma, and even though I haven't lived there in years, it's still more or less home.

[smoochpooch]

28. "Oklahoma, the only state Arkansas can make fun of.." Bill Hicks circa 1988

Some things never change. I feel sorry for the sane people there.

[guitar man]

29. Hey now, I'm in Oklahoma,as far as this state bashing thing goes

Please continue, the idiots here deserve it! :silly: :rofl:

much luv to my fellow progressive Okies... Damn it's hard to live here sometimes :hi:

[babylonsister]

31. lol! This wasn't a bash on you or progressives, but I was just

shocked it was even an issue! :hi:

[guitar man]

32. Believe me, I was too

I was a bit shocked to see it on the ballot even here.

But what I'm wondering is, was there something more insidious contained in the law? Before you get to the part about sharia, the paragraph above seems to be intent on forbidding out judges from considering international law in any cases. That kinda worrries me. :(

[babylonsister]

33. I don't know; I live in GA, but it sounds like it's worth looking into. nt

[foxfeet]

30. Brehon law is next.
