Wyoming says No to Sharia

A proposed amendment to the Wyoming constitution would prohibit judges from considering Islamic law or international law when ruling.

While no Wyoming court rulings have yet to be based on Shariah law, state Rep. Gerald Gay said the proposed amendment is “preemptive” to ensure Shariah is not used in cases such as those involving arranged marriages or honor killings.

Maybe the passage of this law will be more successful than that of a similar law in Oklahoma which was blocked by a federal judge for fostering “an excessive government entanglement with religion.”

Of course Wyoming will prohibit Shariah Law ...... this is a democratic Christain Nation and always will be. I feel if Muslims live in the United States they should be required to permit Christianity Law to rule before Shariah Law .... please have some respect this is our Land the land that Moses and our fore fathers have blessed us with. I'm a spirit filled gentile man of God declaring to all Muslims repent and give your lives to the Lord.
