Do we need to prohibit some Jewish judge from imposing Old Testament barbarism...how about some Christian judge imposing stoning, as per the New Testament? NO state needs to have any specific prohibition so pointedly aimed at any particular group (and no, I don't wish to live in a state or country that does). What we had here was a large group of political lemmings following the dictates of their favorite 3 hrs per day right wing propaganda. This plebiscite was such a waste of money!

Most reporters are saying it was 70% of Oklahoman's. Secondly, any thinking, open-minded person can see the unconstutionality of this law if they put any other identifying terms in place of "Sharia Law" or "Muslim". What if ther law had read "The Law of Moses", or the "Ten Commandments". The prejudice is evident and the stay should be made permanent!
