That is F'd up. Separation of church and state should be determined the same, no matter what religion is in question. If it had been a Christian church, the discrimmination knows no end...

This. Wondering if there isn't more to the story, or why a judge would think it's ok to use Sharia law in the US.
I know lots of Liberals, none of them are OK with Sharia law. They can't even stand the puritan "no alchohol sales on Sunday" laws, at least half of them would learn to shoot a gun if someone told them they had to pray five times a day. The other half would probably make signs and be fodder.

I wish that article would have had more facts on the lawsuit, etc...

Per the article, the lawsuit is about whether the ex-trustees were improperly removed from overseeing the $2.2 million dollars the mosque earned in a land sale. The mosque is accused of not abiding by arbitration. The party asks the judge to rule per Sharia law - the Judge agrees.
2 second google search also yielded..

Well, since this is a case regarding Sharia law (the mosque) the judge would have to rule per those specifications for a fair trial. So, if the ex-trustees were removed per sharia law, it would be a legitimate removal since it is a religious matter in this case. However, if it was a business and they were removed per sharia law it would not be a legitimate excuse, but since it is a place of worship sharia law is proper place. That sounds like churches asking judges to rule based off church law, which has happened again and again.
But what was the reason why they were removed? because it doesn't really say.
edit: because they were outed as per sharia law, the judge has to rule based on the sharia law since it is a place of worship and the business principles they adhered to were sharia law. they all had agreed prior to taking the job, I am sure(because it says they are strong believers in the koran), that sharia law governs their lives. Its hard to explain, but yeah because they all had prior ackowledgement that they were being governed by sharia law the judge had no choice. and since it is a mosque and not a business the ruling has to be based on their beliefs.
wow.. just wow lebru.
1st, its about the proceed of the land sale who was owned by a Mosque. Some of the trustees of the nonprofit corporation sue for some control over those proceed.
2nd, the florida state law super cede private contracts, the US federal law super cede state law and the Consitution is the supreme law of the land.
The point is, someone sue you in the court of law over a private disagreement, the federal judge must proceed as a FEDERAL JUDGE and rules by FEDERAL LAW, not some kosher, islamic, buddhist, christian, or lebru law.
We don't need more laws, shiria law, tougher laws, or envelope middle eastern legal system in any way, period.
This country was founded by people trying to escape at kind of govt abuse. Quite frankly, I think you could take about half the laws in the federal and state systems and toss them out. It would be a good start.
This thread is stupid, and the judges ruling will be overturned immediately upon the appeal starting. Complete no brainer.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
If two parties willingly submitted to a non-government arbitrator who was using Sharia law, in as much as implementation of it wasn't a violation of state or federal law, then OK. Same for if two Christians were in a dispute in went to a pastor to solve it using Biblical rules. As long as it doesn't involve actually cutting a baby in half or chopping off a hand (Islam) then whatever.
But for a Government paid judge to use any other law-set is serious WTF territory.
