The Huffington Post website reports that a federal judge today (November 29, 2010) issued a temporary injunction against an Oklahoma referendum that sought to ban the use of shariah -- that is, Islamic law -- in state courts.
U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange's ruling indicates that the referendum on November 2 -- which voters approved by a 70 to 30 percent margin -- is probably unconstitutional.
Muneer Awad, executive director of the Oklahoma City chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, filed suit to block the law from taking effect.
