The central US state of Oklahoma is to become the first state in the US to ban Islamic sharia law. That's the result of a voter initiative in the state that passed by a heavy majority in the midterm election on Tuesday night. State Question 755 amends the Oklahoma constitution to forbid courts in Oklahoma from considering sharia law or international law in reaching their decisions.

With more than 60% of precincts counted, more than 70% of voters had approved the measure, according to the Secretary of State's website.
