    • Group Topic: Is an Oklahoma referendum which bans Shariah law constitutional? (1119 days ago)

      Comment: 10th amendment is superceded by supremacy clause, and universal interpretation of the establishment clause (I've pointed out cases in previous pages) that government shall not make laws establishing religion or irreligion. Here you have a religion being singled out, thus unconstitutional.

    • Group Topic: Is an Oklahoma referendum which bans Shariah law constitutional? (1135 days ago)

      Comment: All your argument works against all Common Law systems. Subjectivity is one of the biggest basis for law, hence there almost always being dissenting opinions. There exists no true codification of law anywhere in the world.

      What I'm trying to say here is that the way Sharia works isn't all that unique. Most arguments against Sharia are based on oppressive governments twisting law to fit their agenda, not in how the law is made or worked. The strongest argument against Sharia, in my opinion, is that there isn't a group of clerics working together to understand the law, the problem with Islam today is that you have all these different scholars saying a bunch of different things with different justifications. The solution (very unlikely though) is some reform in getting all these scholars to get together, whether it be a 5, 50, 100, or 200 and working together to figure this stuff out.

      The problem doesn't lie with Sharia itself, more so with all these scholars who refuse to work together and attempt to impose their own beliefs on others, which also isn't really unique to Muslims. However, I remain confident that in these next 50 years, because of the internet and easier access to all these materials, there will be some reform movement the protestant reformation-whether it be a personalization of the religion, where people judge for themselves, or what I spelled out above.

      I hope I've made my points clear, whether or not you agree with them.
