OKLAHOMA CITY – A Muslim of Oklahoma filed a complaint in federal jordan shoes on Thursday to a constitutional state amendment by an overwhelming majority of voters that would prohibit state courts in light of international law or Islamic law in deciding cases to block approval. The measure, which was 70 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election, was one of many on the ballot in Oklahoma, which critics said was trying to make the Conservatives and the government go further to the right .

The lawsuit, filed in District Court U. S. Oklahoma City seeks a Air Jordan Retro temporary order recycling and command, the election results certified by the power of the State Election Commission on November 9. Among other things, raises the claim to the extent of the Oklahoma Constitution to vote in “a permanent condemnation” of Islam by isolating special restrictions imposed by blocking the Islamic law known as Sharia.

“We have a handful of politicians who have advocated a change in our bulletin of State and then took a campaign well planned and well-financed disinformation and fear,” said Munir Awad, who filed the complaint and is Chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma. “We have certain inalienable rights, and these rights are not taken from me by a political campaign.” Approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Muslims live in Oklahoma, said Awad. Legal experts have also challenged the measure.

Joseph Thai, a professor at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, said the measure vote is “an answer looking for a problem.” He said he knows of no other state that approved similar measures. “There is no credible threat to go beyond the law, or Sharia legal system,” Thai said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. He said, the courts consider international law when deciding issues in connection with a federal contract, a contract of enterprise or of a will, that international law contains. Thai said the ballot measure “raises thorny church-state issues as well” and could even influence the ability of a state judge to keep the Ten Commandments.

“The Ten Commandments, of course, is international law. It did not originate in Oklahoma or the United States,” said Thai. The measure will take effect January 1 go. Its author, Rep. Rex Duncan, R-Sand Springs, said it was not intended to attack the Muslims, but activist judges to rely on international law and Islamic law to prevent, if the decision on the legal cases. “Represents the threat of activist judges, is clear,” said Duncan.

“He should not what is the law in France or another European country.” Duncan described the measure as a “preemptive strike” in Oklahoma, where he says activist judges not an imminent problem. But some judges elsewhere, including the U. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, believe that the courts should turn to the right of other countries for advice, though some cases the decision, he said. Ginsburg told a meeting of international lawyers in Washington in July that U.S. judges can learn from their foreign counterparts when examined after possible solutions, “trying questions.”

“The only people who are victims of these are activist judges, “said Duncan, who created in 2007 rejected the Quran as a gift by a Board of Governor Brad Henry, explaining that” most of Oklahoma, not, however, support the idea of ​​killing women and innocent children in the name of ideology. ” A resident of Oklahoma said he was on Tuesday, because chaos can occur if judges were allowed to be claimed on international laws and religious in their courts. “Any private organization could come and say the judge according to our rules and regulations of the rule and cancel state laws,” said Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent.

Forcing people to believe in a religion or to adopt its forms of belief is completely contrary to the essence and spirit of Islam. That is because according to Islam, true faith is only possible with free will and freedom of conscience.

In the contemporary world, there are people who envisage or support authoritarianism in the name of Islam. However this is a great misconception. Islam is a religion which provides and guarantees freedom of ideas, thought and life. It has issued commands to prevent and forbid tension, disputes, slander and even negative thinking among people. In the same way that it is determinedly opposed to terrorism and all acts of violence, it has also forbidden even the slightest ideological pressure to be put on them:

There is no compulsion in religion. True guidance has become clearly distinct from error. (Surat al-Baqara: 256)

So remind them! You are only a reminder. You are not in control of them. (Surat al -Ghashiyya: 21-22)

Forcing people to believe in a religion or to adopt its forms of belief is completely contrary to the essence and spirit of Islam. That is because according to Islam, true faith is only possible with free will and freedom of conscience. Of course, Muslims can advise and encourage each other about the features of Qur’anic morality. All believers are charged with explaining Qur’anic morality to people in the nicest manner possible. They will explain the beauties of religion in the light of the verse, “Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition…” (Surat an-Nahl: 125), however, they must also bear in mind the verse, “You are not responsible for their guidance, but God guides whoever He wills.” (Surat al-Baqara: 272)

Thus true Muslims will never resort to compulsion, nor any kind of physical or psychological pressure. Neither will they use any worldly privilege to turn someone towards religion. When they receive a negative response to what they say, Muslims will reply along the lines of: “To you your religion, and to me, mine” (Surat al- Al-Kafirun: 6)

The world we live in contains societies with all kinds of beliefs: Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, deist and even pagan. Muslims living in such a world must be tolerant of all beliefs they come up against, no matter what they may be, and behave forgivingly, justly and humanely. This responsibility placed on believers invites people to the beauty of the religion of God by means of peace and tolerance. The decision whether or not to implement these truths, whether or not to believe, lies with the other party. Forcing that person to believe, or trying to impose anything on him, is a violation of Qur’anic morality. In fact, God issues a reminder to believers in the Qur’an:

If your Lord had willed, all the people on the earth would have believed. Do you think you can force people to be believers? (Surat Yunus: 99)

We know best what they say and you [O Muhammad] are not a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur’an whoever fears My warning. (Surat Qaf: 45)

A model of society in which people are forced to worship is a complete contradiction to Islam. Belief and worship are only of any value when they are directed to God by the free will of the individual. If a system imposes belief and worship on people, then they will become religious out of fear of that system. From the religious point of view, what really counts is that religion should be lived for God’s good pleasure in an environment where peoples’ consciences are totally free.

When we look at the history of Islam, the way that Muslims have translated this important feature of Qur’anic morality into the life of society can be seen quite clearly. Since the Prophet Muhammed, true Muslims have always brought with them an atmosphere of freedom and tolerance wherever they have gone. They have enabled people whose religions, languages and cultures are completely different from one another to live together in peace and harmony under one roof, and provided peace and harmony for its own members. One of the most important reasons for the centuries-long existence of the Ottoman Empire, which spread over an enormous region, was the atmosphere of tolerance and understanding that Islam brought with it. Within this multi-national structure, all ethnic and religious groups have been free to live according to their own religions, and their own rules.

Barbarism in the name of religion, that is so preoccupying the world at present, is the work of ignorant and fanatical people, completely estranged from Qur’anic morality, and who have absolutely nothing to do with religion. The solution to these people and groups who try to carry out their savagery under the mask of religion is the teaching of true Qur’anic morality.

Islam and Qur’anic morality are solutions to the scourge of bigotry, barbarism and terrorism, not supporters of it.
