Oklahoma introducing legislature to ban Islamic sharia from local courts

An important step's being taken in Oklahoma's political/judicial system:

Legislation introduced in Oklahoma would restrict the application of certain foreign laws in state courts and limit foreign ownership or control of land and critical infrastructure, lawmakers behind the measures told Breitbart News exclusively.

State Representative Gabe Woolley introduced House Joint Resolution 1040, which would prohibit Oklahoma courts from applying Sharia law or other foreign legal systems in judicial decisions. The proposal is framed in the press release as an effort to ensure courts remain grounded in the United States Constitution and Oklahoma law.

Responding to critics who have raised concerns about religious liberty, Woolley told Breitbart News, “While we recognize that Americans enjoy freedom of religion, this resolution is a step to protect homeland security and Oklahomans’ constitutional rights — rights that Islam and Sharia law do not adhere to. Sharia law is a political ideology presented as a religion. It is a Trojan horse used to infiltrate free and independent nations, such as America, in order to overthrow them and instill and expand Sharia law principles.”

They should also come up with legislature for prohibiting garments like the burqa/niqab. And as far as I'm concerned, if the wimple worn by Catholic nuns has to be phased out in order to make it possible, and even some garments worn by ultra-Orthodox Judaist women, then so be it. The point is, even we of the west have to be consistent with our own views in order to ensure we can oppose Islamic sharia properly.
