Is it just me or is this hilarious?
In their frothing at the mouth fear of Sharia law Oklahoma legislators finally succeed in declaring that Oklahoma is in fact a secular State.
3. “Religious organization” means any church, seminary,
synagogue, temple, mosque, religious order, religious corporation,
associatio
n, or society, whose identity is distinctive in terms of
common religious creed, beliefs, doctrines, practices, or rituals,
of any faith or denomination, including any organization qualifying
as a church or religious organization under Section 501(c)(3) or
501(d) of the United States Internal Revenue Code
Well done Oklahoma!
Thank you for restating the Constitution, all that hard work for not really much at all.
Bravo!
Just wait until the base gets wind of this.
Take that Sharia law!
But.....But....wait......dear lord!
No Christian Law either?!?
OMG Obama has usurped Oklahoma! His evil know no bounds! Treachery!
So basically this whole thing has been a waste of tax payers money
May Grover Norquist descend upon you in all his wrath.
Sorry, but I find this really, really, funny.
The whole original intent was to ban Sharia law in 2010 and this was thrown out as unconstitutional by the federal courts since it applied to a specific religion, Now to appease the crazy they have just reinstated the preeminence of secular law and banned them all.
Wheeee!
The Senate vote 40-3
