Former CIA director James Woolsey is defending a measure that Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly passed last week barring state judges from relying upon Islamic (Shariah) law as the basis for making court decisions. The ballot measure is being challenged in federal court by a Muslim group.
Woolsey, a member of a group of policy experts dedicated to exposing the dangers of Shariah and a champion of the Oklahoma measure, told CNSNews.com the Islamic system of laws represents a danger to the United States.
“In some countries -- more in Europe than here, but also a little bit here -- men are saying if they are in adherence to Shariah, that Shariah gives them the authority to beat their wives and daughters, for various disciplinary purposes or for whatever reason,” Woolsey said.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, chief judge for the Western District of Oklahoma, issued a temporary retraining order blocking implementation of referendum measure 755, which adds an amendment to the state constitutional to prohibit state court judges from considering principles of Shariah law and international law when deciding cases.

IF judges are using Shariah Law (Religion Law) as basis, HOW IS THAT SEPARATION OF STATE, that liberals tout so much???
Remember what happened to some of the legislating judges in Iowa....they're unemployed now...same thing should happen here.....
If anyone is conflicted on Sharia Law you must not know what it is.
shariah law has NO business even being thought of when in a U.S. court. If they want to live by their law then get the hell out of the U.S.!
I'm in favor of Muslim internment camps !
"it's" law has nothing to do wif religion.
