Florida mulls outlaw of Shariah, other foreign laws; critics say bill addresses made-up threat - The Washington Post
This has nothing to do with a fear of anyone. That is hyperbole. I admit it is directed mainly at Sharia Law, but it also would eliminate the Biblical Law arguments against SSM etc.
American should be governed by American laws and no others.
These legislators need to go and do some actual work. You know, like passing legislation that's actually useful and meaningful.
This isn't related to exercising religion.Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting the free exercise... (of religion) But states can?

Indeed, but P.T. Barnum had a point (there is a sucker born every minute... just watch the right for 60 secondsThe myth is that sharia aw is somehow in danger of replacing current laws.
Judges can and do use all sorts of things to help them render judgement. But that is entirely different than replacing American laws with foreign laws.
This is simple fear mongering.
That seems redundant as Sharia Law would be unconstitutional to begin with.
you can't base a judicial decision on the Bible, the Koran, the Talmud, or the Bahgavad Gita.
i really don't see why this is necessary. doesn't a judge have to abide by american law anyway?
Tell that to the Muslim judge in PA who ruled that it was ok for a Muslim to attack someone mocking Muhammad.
Given from what I am familiar with concerning cultural precedent to excuse some immigrants from crimes, the perpetrator would've likely been excused by another court and if not appealed until it happened.
Members of cultural enclaves in the US have avoided murder charges because of cultural president. It's touchy, strange, and beyond me, frankly.C
Crime of passion type of thing.
the law says otherwise...And there should NEVER be an excuse for immigrants to break the laws of the US. I have no idea what you mean in the second half of this sentence.
Again, something that should never be allowed to happen. A man was exercising his first amendment freedom of speech rights and an assault was committed.
the law says otherwise...
Firstly I'm not aware of any injury to the man... secondly there have been precedents (even in the supreme court) whereby culturally certain individuals seem unable to contain themselves when their cultural norms are infringed on to the point there seems to have been exceptions and the crime goes unpunished.
If an immigrant to the US has a prophet he has been raised on since childhood defaced in public, it has been established that they are beyond their own means of self control (or somesuch_) to commit said crime. Vastly interesting.
And any such laws would be pathetic.
Vastly wrong. There should not be a cultural excuse to commit assault. Injury is irrelevant as to whether simple assault and battery occurred or not. If I am exercising my rights and someone violates my rights by attacking me, that is a criminal offense and I will not accept any cultural defenses. That is against the notion that everyone is subject to the same laws.
