Will Keep On Happening Until We wake up and smell the sand...
Florida Judge Applies Islamic Law
"A Florida judge is under fire this week for his controversial decision to apply Islamic law instead of state or federal statutes in determining whether an arbitration award was correct. The case in question involves former trustees of a Tampa mosque, the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, who are suing because they claim they were unfairly removed as trustees."

This is not a life and death decision, but it is another inroad accomplished by those in favor of sharia. Amazingly some of the muslims apparently did not want a sharia decision. This is not the only instance of this happening and it is not the only time it has happened in Fl. This is just the only time that I have bothered to post it. But after my Synagogue sent a bus to our state capitol to defend the rights of muslims to live by sharia and enforce it in the US, I thought it was time to point it out to you folks that it was indeed happening right here in the GOOD OLD USA. Even if you say it is not and that it will never happen here....

You really should read the article you cite. So should everyone else wringing their hands:
The two parties reportedly previously agreed to use Islamic law to resolve any potential differences through arbitration.
It is as I have been saying all along: The judge is applying U.S. law, which states that two people can contract to resolve a dispute through binding arbitration so long as the arbiter issues no ruling that violates U.S., state, or local law. If you look at your credit card agreement, you will find that you have agreed that if you ever have a dispute with your credit card company you will settle it through binding arbitration, not the courts.
Should it ever come to pass that any of us who do not have such an agreement find ourselves wanting to take the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, its former trustees, or any other Muslim to court Sharia will not be involved.

I did read the article, I am aware that it was a case of arbitration, and I am aware that the parties had agreed to sharia. I am trying to make everyone else aware of this too. This is an open door for sharia to enter our country. It is not against the law for sharia to exist in our country as most people think...

Then it needs to be closed. Go read the website I cited. Tell me then if you think this is ok to allow.

I'm glad you posted this, as I have been talking about this myself...and have actually had people tell me I'm crazy because I have mentioned it. I have talked about some pretty interesting subjects lately that everyone says I don't know what I'm talking about...yet more and more events start to unfold, just as I said they would..now, more people are actually starting to listen to me.

This "judge" is in violation of the oath of office he took, as well as the authority he has been granted to act.
Since sharia law does not grant him his authority, he has no right or business making judgement based on it. His authority comes under the Constitution of the State of Florida. Therefore, that constitution and the laws of Florida are the ONLY references he has the right to cite.

Visit the Muslim Brotherhood website. They post right there on the front page, America will have sharia law!
YOUR SYNAGOGUE??? Please explain their reasoning! Why would a Jewish religious body want sharia law in America? Do they realize that is counterproductive?
It is happening. And we better do something quick. As you say, they have their foot in the door, next they will demand criminal cases be tried under sharia law. The stupidity of which I cannot even describe.
Jews and Christians are about to be persona non gratia in their own country.

Adoniah, take a look at the discussion I posted on Allen West. He's a Florida Congressman from the 22nd district. If you live in Florida, contact him. If not...take a look anyway. This man is awesome. Retired militar who fought in Iraq and Afganistan. Supports Israel and is outspoken on it. He has a video on youtube describing his stand with Israel as well as numerous issues concerning America. He's worth taking a look.

in the US, our laws are not governed by religion. our laws are governed by the US Constitution and state constitutions. if this judge decides that he does not want to follow the laws set forth then he should be fired and sent to jail for breaking his oath of office ( to support and defend the Constitution of the US)if you dont like our laws then leave

You're right. Everyone rails on about those wishing to specifically and preemptively stop this as being "crazy." They cite that it cannot and will not happen because the Constitution strictly forbids it.
Well, news flash: when you have an inept activist judge, it doesn't matter what is forbade - they literally hold the law in their hands and implement whatever they see fit.
It's hard to be any clearer about this when speaking with morons who assume bigotry in everything, but let's not get it twisted. The United States of America doesn't use Sharia Law or any other religion's laws or any other country's laws. And if folks are out there using them, they need to stop the insanity. We use our laws. People in America are subject to America's laws.
So these particular people were Muslims. So what?
The new argument will now be: "Well, it's not like it's widespread or anything. It only happens rarely."
And when it happens more, the argument will be: "Wow. Conspiracy much? Talk about fear-mongering! You really think it's going to spread everywhere?"
The odd thing about multiculturalism is that it is as far away from equality as you can possibly get - different rules for different people based on trivial BS like skin color or religion or ancestry.
This is kinda unrelated, but my brother threw a semi-racial joke at me the other day.
"If you call a black person in America 'African-American,' what do you call a black person in Europe?"
What?
"Well, if you call them anything you'll have to actually admit they exist."
But back on topic: Let's not only single out every single race and religion and culture in the USA, let's go ahead and separate everyone further by continuing to set different standards based on what some feel is right in their hearts. Citizens of the world and all that nonsense.
