(1,098 posts)36. The only Sharia law in the US
The only Sharia law in the US is voluntary arbitration. If two Muslims want to settle a dispute they can go to a Sharia court. It's no different than settling a dispute through Judge Judy because these courts do not replace local or federal courts.
So while homosexuals do have to worry about Sharia law in countries where it is the law of the land and being homosexual can result in imprisonment or death, Christian inspired laws that permit discrimination against the LGBT community are the concern for gays in the US.

Maybe because Sharia law in this country is nothing but a boogey man perpetuated by the right.

Leave it to Hannity to use this legislation to attack Clinton, Obama, Democrats, gays and Muslims.
