Islamic Law In A Florida Court!

Believe it or not, a Florida court judge announced he will use Islamic Shariah law in determining the outcome of a civil suit.

But Hillsborough Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen is being attacked by conservative bloggers after he ruled in a lawsuit March 3 that, to resolve one crucial issue in the case, he will consult a different source.

"This case," the judge wrote, "will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law."

The lawsuit is between a mosque and four former trustees who claim they were "improperly ousted" as trustees. The remaining points in the suit are not legal in nature, but they do involve fine points in religious law.

A US court should not attempt to apply religious law in a legal proceeding. It's a clear violation of the Constitution.

NOW do you understand why different states (Alabama included) have bills under consideration to forbid exactly this from occurring?
