f you're convinced that the Supreme Court might allow the establishment of Sharia Courts by interpreting the Constitution bizarrely, why do you think having Congress pass a law to prevent that would help? The Supreme Court could rule that law was unconstitutional. You are correct and that was acknowledged in my post. But the law could have some inhibiting effect on the court's desire to move in that direction. 'At present, if two muslims (or anyone else for that matter) have a civil dispute, and they want to resolve it by going before a Sharia Court, they would have that right, just as two Catholics could ask a priest to mediate a disagreement. But no Sharia Court presently has the right to prosecute criminal matters, which are the sole province of the constitutionally established judicial system. That is true here, and it's true in the UK, for example, where Sharia Courts have been allowed to adjudicate civil matters only." The situation is much less clear than you claim. foxnews.com The fact is that Muslims in England claim the right to resolve Divorce cases, Domestic Violence Cases and criminal cases. The Government apparently claims this is illegal, but according to this article it is happening. lj
