Title: Oklahoma's Sharia Law Ban Hurts Natives Too
Post by: Laurel on November 13, 2010, 11:57:32 am

Beyond the obvious First Amendment problems with the law, in their zealous “war” against the phantom Sharia menace, Oklahomans might find unexpected collateral damage to the Ten Commandments, businesses, and now, Native Americans.

This is what happens when people get bugs up their butts and don't stop to think through their actions.  Laws are passed that make everyone concerned look like idiots when reality catches up to them.  And when it happens (yes, I said 'when'), none of the people involved will admit they screwed up.  They'll pile on justifications and rationalizations and dig themselves in deeper and deeper.

Or they will just claim it's the result of 'big' government and too much gov involvement.. forgetting that they are the ones who set it to law.
