GOPer can't define, but wants to ban, sharia law

[Mira]

In the past several months, roughly 15 states have either approved or introduced measures to ban sharia (Islamic law). But a new anti-sharia push in Alabama easily qualifies as the most comically ignorant effort to date.
A Republican state senator named Gerald Allen, who represents Cottondale and once tried to ban books by gay authors, last week introduced a standard anti-sharia measure that would bar Alabama courts from considering Islamic law. It was at that point that Anniston Star reporter Tim Lockette put a simple but inspired question to Allen: What is sharia?
Here is how Allen responded:

Allen could not readily define Shariah in an interview Thursday. "I don’t have my file in front of me," he said. "I wish I could answer you better."

2. Mouth breathers this problem has been solved a long time ago

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

3. Congress wouldn't be making such a law, it would be State Legislature.

I suspect that difference would make it Constitutional with Scalia and his Cabal...

4. Not that long ago, the fundy right wing *LOVED* the practice of chopping off the hand ...

... of thieves, as done in many ME countries. Clearly a practice consistent with Shariah Law (along with stoning, etc.), I can't count the number of conservative friends/associates who lauded this practice, claiming it'd sure cause scofflaws to think twice.

My oh my how times change ... and the 'opinions' of the lemming right change when the hot air blows.
