Recently the Center for Security Policy, led by the absolutely deranged Frank Gaffney, put out a "study" called Shariah in American Courts that pinpoints 50 rulings from the courts in 23 states that supposedly prove Gaffney's moronic "creeping Sharia" position. I've finally gotten around to reading that report.
The website for the report includes a state-by-state database of all the rulings they allege show that American courts are enforcing Sharia law. The very first one I looked at, naturally, was from Michigan. It was a divorce and property division case involving two Muslim citizens of India living in Michigan.
And it breaks down after that, here's a rundown of the Islamic conspiracy to take over the US:
* Man tries to divorce wife by telling her he wants to divorce her three times (Indian law), woman starts divorce proceedings against him. He says she can't do that, court disagrees, rules in favor of the wife.
* Syrians sue each other and use religious law... However, the religious law that is cited is Syrian Catholic law, not Islamic.
* Daughter seeks portion of money from father's old will that gives money to estranged wife. Mother tells daughter to take it up in Iran where the money is located. One problem, they're Bahais, not Muslims!
* Oh, but Gaffney makes it look super-serious by putting "Islamic" and Islamic countries in
bold print.
