Sharia Court in Texas

[F350-6]

North Texas Home To First Islamic Tribunal In U.S. « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

I guess it's really no different than The People's Court that's been on TV for decades, but it will be interesting to keep an eye on this and see what comes of it.

Really surprised it hasn't been a bigger news story or that I couldn't find any threads on it here.

Thoughts?

Yeah except for the fact "The Peoples Court" is run and based on laws that were written for and when this Country was founded. Um Sharia law? Uh NOPE it was NEVER written nor helped found this Country!! Some people will just never get it.... And folks wonder what's happening to this Country and why it's getting worse!!!

Get a grip. Basicly they are just giving religious answers to questions and issues people bring to them. They don't have any secular authority. Not a whole lot different than your priest or church telling you what you should be doing. And as an aside generally speaking courts and laws are based off of common law which originated in a different country before this one existed.

L'dMAO!! I have a grip and No tolerance for or will accept this Barbaric Neanderthal Violent religion in the Country I was born and raised in as well as fought for. You my friend can turn a blind eye to how the Muslims have been ruining the various Countries they have infested over the decades....

After reading the article, I gotta say I don't see anything worth getting up in arms over, with the caveat that this "tribunal" (is that the right word?) really does stick to civil matters, doesn't **** with or go against American law, and doesn't end with anyone getting hurt. As I understand it, the idea is that this group serves as an arbiter, nothing more, and can't actually enforce their rulings worth a damn.

That said, after seeing firsthand what happens when shit like this goes too far - let's cut the bullshit and stomp this into the fucking dirt where it belongs.

I have no problems with people setting up any sort of mutually agreeable conflict resolution mechanisms. When they work, they keep petty stuff from clogging up court dockets.

That said, any third party mediator that assumes the mantle of religious authority has the potential to make the members of that religion feel obligated to use it and also obligated to defer to it, even when the rulings from it conflict with the secular law of the land. When that happens, really evil outcomes can happen.

Successful third party mediation programs operate with oversight from legal courts. Are there any such safeguards built into this Sharia-based tribunal? If not, then that's a bad thing that could wind up being very, very bad, indeed.

Voluntary, peaceful conflict resolution. We need to get rid of that and make sure the GOVERNMENT has oversight!
/sarcasm

Y'all kill me. If they start chopping off hands or something I'll be concerned. I don't see how this is different than an arbitrator or a preacher giving you guidance.

Reminds me of the Sanhedrin. Religious court operating under authority of the Roman Empire.
Most of you know the story.

Now point set match

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

Yep, Sanhedrin was government this is not.

Sanhedrin was Jewish. Authorized by Roman rule.
Rome carried out the punishment.
The religous leaders declared guilt. At least that's what my book says.

 

[Whistler]

Of course it's innocuous.. until it isn't.

For those that missed the last several decades of the "baby step" approach; beware the camel's nose under the tent.

If ya don't stand for something you fall for anything

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

These guys don't have the state of Texas enforcing their rulings - they're voluntary.

Apples and oranges

My book says the same thing.

I guess you missed the news where they've chopped off heads , arms etc. lately and that was without a Sharia court!! Oh that's right.... I'm talking about the Extremist side of Muslims. I guess that Father whom had never had any runnins with the law whom killed his daughter lately, Oh he was a peaceful one....

These guys don't have the state of Texas enforcing their rulings

Yet!! What do you think they are trying to make happen here MH? Why do you think they move in to every area they possibly can? To assimilate? BS!! Look at the U.K., France, Russia etc. What in the end do you think their goal is? LOL!! Your Naivety just kills me!! History my man..... You should study it sometime!!
