Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
Speaking of Shari'a: http://hurryupharry.org/2010/11/20/civilised-v-savage/
Count the number of Muslim-majority states in the "No" or "Abstain" categories. You can do the same for the number of African states.
Hope is the denial of reality
Not having read the thread beyond post #6:
If the First Amendment didn't exist, I'd want to create it.
I have no objection with the Shariah part of the measure (besides the fact its redundant, the First Amendment prevents Shariah Law anyway while also IMO preventing this). The irony isn't that 70% voted for this, its how many of that 70% do want Christian law in the courts.
The courts are a place for civil law, not religious law.
The measure also bans consideration of international law and laws of other countries, which happens to be unconstitutional.
By the way, it's pretty clear this passed because Oklahomans are fearful of Muslims/Islam, not because they want a separation of state and church.

Good to know the sound mind of the Oklahoma voters. Muslims make up slightly under 1% of the population there. A real threat indeed.
