South Carolina just did something that every state in the country needs to do- BAN SHARIA LAW!
The South Carolina House has passed a bill blocking Islamic Sharia law from ever being recognized or approved in the state.
The South Carolina Legislature bill H 3521, reads in part:
The General Assembly finds that it shall be the public policy of this State to protect its citizens from the application of foreign laws, whether secular or religious in nature or origin, when the application of a foreign law will result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the Constitution of this State or of the United States including, but not limited to, due process, freedom of religion, speech, or press, and any right of privacy as specifically defined by the Constitution of this State.
The legislation is described as “A bill to amend the code of laws of South Carolina […] so as to prevent a court or other enforcement authority from enforcing foreign law including, but not limited to, Sharia Law in this state from a forum outside of the United States or its territories under certain circumstances.”
Breitbart explains that Sharia law is the legal and political system mandated in the Koran and other Islamic texts. It include laws governing religious practice, such as praying and ritual washing. But Sharia also rules what Westerners see as non-government social practices — divorce, child-rearing, free-speech, clothing or sexual behavior, for example — and it also rules government responses to crimes, such as theft and murder.
Sharia law relegates women and non-Muslims to a lesser status, and grants men enormous authority over wives, daughters and sons. It allows for the primitive treatment of women and non-Muslims, and allows fierce punishment — sometimes, “honor killings” by fathers — for refusing to complying with Sharia mandates.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. Chip Limehouse. He told Breitbart News following the bill’s passage:
“This goes to demonstrate that the South Carolina House of Representatives is committed to preserving and protecting the American way of life here in South Carolina.”
“Sharia Law has been used as a defense in American courtrooms,” he adds. “We are working towards making that defense not an option for radical extremists from any country.”
“In South Carolina, we’ve had cases where people have tried to use [the rules of] Sharia Law as a defense, and we are speaking very clearly from the South Carolina House,” Limehouse said. “Shariah Law can not and will not be used as a legal defense in the state of South Carolina.”
The legislation passed with 68 for the bill and 42 opposing it. 42 morons.
In order for the bill to become law, it must be passed by the State Senate and be signed by Governor Nikki Haley.
South Carolina joins several states including Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina South Dakota, and Tennessee who have banned Sharia law.
More than a dozen other states are considering similar legislation.
Kudos to these South Carolina legislators for doing the right thing! This is America and there is no place for Sharia law in our great country.
God bless.
