ALAC Wins One in Oklahoma

Gates of Vienna:

Preventing the application of shariah in American courtrooms is an arduous task. Opponents of Islamic law cannot approach the issue frontally — shariah-specific initiatives are seen as “targeting a religion”, and are thus struck down on First Amendment grounds. However, by crafting legislation that is neutral with respect to religion, Constitutional problems can be avoided. That’s what the American Laws for American Courts project (ALAC) is about — it simply insists that no foreign laws that violate American law or the U.S. Constitution may be used to decide cases in American courts.

Even that approach, however, is problematic at the national level, because senators and congressmen are so allergic to any issue that might entangle them with Islam and invite accusations of “Islamophobia” from CAIR and its ilk. As a result, ALAC has focused on individual states, where legislators are more receptive to their approach.

ALAC just won an important victory in Oklahoma. Below is the press release sent out today by the Center for Security Policy:

  1. We won one battle, a battle is not the war. In fact you can lose every battle and still win the war.

  2. Yes, we should not be smug or overconfident, but winning battles does tend to correlate with winning wars. I celebrate this news.
