Texas has passed a law which will permanently ban any type
of Sharia law from being imposted in the Lone Star State.
Senator Donna Campbell passed the bill that will ensure that
no laws from foreign courts will be adopted by Texas civil court judges.
Shoebat.com reports:
“It’s just to provide some belt and suspenders to make sure
that, with judicial discretion, we don’t trump Texas law, American law, with a
foreign law regarding family law,” Campbell said.
Muslim groups say the bill is a ‘solution looking for
problem, and claim that the bill has its genesis in an anti Muslim
demonstration on the steps of the Texas Capitol in January in which the
proposal was cheered.
State Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin) grilled Campbell on
examples she has seen of foreign law being used in Texas courts.
“What foreign law are you attempting to prevent being used,
and can you give examples of where it has created a problem in the state?”
Watson asked.
“No foreign law,” Campbell replied. “This just provides a
context for judicial discretion.”
