Court: Okla. Ban On Islamic Law Unconstitutional

(AP)  
OKLAHOMA CITY - An amendment that would ban Oklahoma courts from considering international or Islamic law discriminates against religions and a Muslim community leader has the right to challenge its constitutionality, a federal appeals court said Tuesday.
The court in Denver upheld U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange's order blocking implementation of the amendment shortly after it was approved by 70 percent of Oklahoma voters in November 2010.

So why is it that it is unconstitutional to ban a forgien religion, but in schools as well as other places now we are banned from expressing our religion as American citizens? Makes plenty of sense.
