Oklahoma became the first state to pass a law banning Shariah, which means Islamic law. Oklahoma also very shortly thereafter became the first state to have such a law declared unconstitutional. Now there are movements in other places, including South Carolina, Texas, Nevada, Georgia, and Wyoming, trying to pass similar measures.

To protect our citizenry, some say, from the scourge of Shariah.
What is it that is so scary and morbid about the Shariah? Is it that our system of law and justice is in many ways based on what the Shariah brought forth 1400 years ago?
Or is it strictly that the hate mongers would have you think that this dark cloud of Shariah is invading our nations and we must take action to prevent it?
I will let you decide. Colbert's segment on sharia previously posted is quite insightful and enjoyable.
