Outrage: Florida Judge Orders Islamic Sharia Law be Used to Settle Dispute
by Dr. Richard Swier https://www.legal-project.org/1220/outrage-florida-judge-orders-islamic-sharia-law Excerpt: Florida Circuit Court Judge Richard A. Nielsen Judge Richard A. Nielsen, Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, FL has ordered, "Ecclesiastical Islamic Law, pursuant to the Qur'an" be used to settle a civil dispute among Muslim Brothers. In Florida we now have two laws - American and Sharia Islamic. As I have stated before you cannot have two sets of laws in any nation. Americans, whether native born or naturalized, are subject to our Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Sharia Law is incompatible with our Constitution. However, Judge Nielsen does not think so and stated in his order that if the Muslim Brothers cannot reach a resolution then, "the dispute is to be presented to an Islamic judge for determination, and that is or can be an A'lim [a Muslim learned in Sharia Law]".
