A Florida legislator, Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, filed a bill, SB1294, to stipulate that only American laws will be permitted in Florida courts. The law is similar to state legislation introduced in Oklahoma and other states trying to protect the rights of their citizens from the use of foreign laws, including Islamic Sharia law, which permit behavior that this nation has long forbidden.Of course, the ever-present and well-funded Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) immediately attacked the bill as being an attack on Islam and the bill's author as being out of touch with his constituents.Americans are justifiably proud of our laws, especially our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Why would we want to allow laws, let's say, from the United Nations, some banana Republic or some foreign fanatical religion, to be used in American courts to justify ritual killings, genital mutilation or the right of husbands to rape and beat their wives?
It makes no sense, but there are plenty of politically-correct, bleeding heart newspapers that are giving groups like CAIR and their spokesmen plenty of ink to attack anyone that threatens the spread of Islam in America.
Nezar Hamze, executive director of the South Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), thinks Senator Hays is out of touch with his constituents. Do you? Or is it Hamze who is out of touch?Where do you stand? We stand with Florida and our U.S. Constitution.
Foreign laws belong in foreign countries ... not here.I like our Bill of Rights. I like our freedoms, including the right of any American who prefers Islamic laws and customs to American laws and customs to pack their bags and find a country that practices Sharia law ... because it's not going to happen here!
