DID SHARIAH LAW JUST WORK ITS WAY INTO A FLORIDA COURT?

Circuit Court Judge Richard A. Nielsen in Tampa, Florida is creating a buzz with a ruling some say shows that shariah law is creeping into America. One look at the alleged ruling shows it is suspicious. But is it really an example of shariah coming to America?

    It involves a mosque and he is acting as an arbitrator to apply their rules. Only a teabagger or Glenn Beck would make a big deal out of a procedure that is pretty standard. It's just the bigot in you talking.

    This case was adjudicated by a judge to allow the two agreeing parties to use an arbitrator going by outside rules which happens all the time.

    So, he in reality ruled that the disposition of church money ought to be desperate via talk between the events straight away in contact interior the adventure if achieveable. in the event that they might't, it could be desperate via the club of the mosque at super. provided that a determination nonetheless ought to no longer be reached might the priority be handed to an Islamic decide, who (one might anticipate) might have a undeniable volume of previous church case history to entice upon (which it likewise ought to be assumed the secular decide did no longer.) Offhand, seems a incredibly functional judgment...only because of fact it happens to be Sharia regulation does no longer mean it is immediately incorrect. Why shouldn't Islamic regulation be utilized in purely Islamic concerns?
