Ignoring objections from the Florida Bar and the ACLU, the Florida House Judiciary Committee approved an ‘anti-Sharia law’ bill on Wednesday
Sunhine State News “We’re trying to anticipate problems we see in other states and address them proactively,” said Rep. Larry Metz, R-Eustis, sponsor of House Bill 1209. “This will preclude unjust results in cases where the outcome could be different if we didn’t have the bill.”
Representatives from the Florida Bar’s Family Law Section and the American Civil Liberties Union opposed the measure, saying Florida courts already have the ability to refuse to enforce foreign laws, including the Islamic legal code based on the Quran. Critics also claimed that Metz’s bill could complicate and raise the costs of adjudicating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements contracted in other jurisdictions.
Prior to Wednesday’s meeting, the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent an alert to supporters warning that the bill would “demonize Islam and marginalize Muslims.” (That’s the idea!)
CAIR alleged that HB 1209 is “ultimately aimed at making sure Sharia or other foreign laws are not applied to family law cases in Florida.” (as it already has been in Florida below)
Useful idiots came in handy for Lenin, and they are coming in handy today for those who seek to bringSharia (Islamic) Law into America’s courtrooms. Florida Judge Richard Nielsen has ruled that he will settle a dispute according to “Ecclesiastical Islamic Law” and Adam Serwer at The American Prospect is bending over backwards to defend the ruling. Secular judges making rulings based on Sharia? That’s not justice. It’s justice denied.
Hassan Shibly, CAIR’s Florida director, told Sunshine State News that the bill “follows a court case in Hillsborough County in which Sharia was considered. The case spurred quite a bit of right-wing activism, but was eventually dismissed last December.” Still, with virtually every member of the Judiciary Committee signing on as co-sponsors, HB 1209 breezed through the panel. Schwartz cast the only dissenting vote.
“It’s good law because it’s preventive in nature,” said Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota. Rev. Mark Boykin, senior pastor at Church of All Nations in Boca Raton, also praised HB 1209.
“Nations all over the world are looking to our democratic model of government and law, and our courts do not need any other document [on which] to base their decisions,” Boykin said.

I’m so glad SOMEONE had the intestinal fortitude to Be an American anf STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

…if we could only get the judges to rule according to
Anglo/American Common Law instead of Statute/Maritime law…
What’s the difference you ask? In the Common Law
the jury of your peers is your judge and the Court only administrates whereas in Maritime Law the Judge is the law
(with respect to statute)
and the jury only a formality.
Good for Florida!
pa has a muslim judge that needs to be thrown off the bench
Vote him or her out, BlackPowder,,, We do NOT need an adherent of Shari’ah law sitting on our judicial benches~!
While mohammadism may not be evil and wrong to its adherents, it is an offense and detrimental to all civilized, humane and moral humanity,,,
Plus, it is a plagiarism and a bastardization of the Holy Scriptures of the Jews and Christians, and the actions of the mohammadists have not changed BY THEIR LAW, in over 1400 years,,, their teachings are “set in stone”, and are NOT to grow and mature with the growth and maturity of humanity.
The deeper one studies islam, the more abhorrent an ideology it becomes.
DO realize it is a political, judicial and cultural ideology, and a satanic cult – It is NOT a religion~!
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-1*****************MUSLIMS-0 now kindly pack your rags and leave!!!
And they can take their damned camel fleas with them.

Along with the flea baggers…OWS…
“demonize Islam and marginalize Muslims.”
That should be the new national sport.
-Dave
Sharia law has no place in any American courtroom, and any judge or attorney seeking to uphold it in any way should be promptly disbarred, then tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
-Dave
It went right over y’all’s heads……………
It went over no heads here at FotM, dumbass.
Perhaps you are confused and thought you had swerved into Camel-Wahers-R-Us.
-Dave
if those bomb happy towel heads dont want sharia law in America as some of them have claimed, then why are they throwing such a fit of bills to prevent sharia?
Ya they got the one we passed here in Oklahoma tied up in the fed court system by claiming that such a thing hasn’t happened… Ya right…
