Jon Stewart made the joke about Oklahoma passing Sharia Law (at bottom of post), when the state lege replacing a state issued marriage license with a clergy issued marriage certificate.
Think about this for a second though.
If clergy are simply issuing marriage certificates as a part of their religious duties, then it is likely that any attempt to regulate the conditions violates the Constitution.
What this means is that various sects who support polygamy as an article of faith, such as certain fundamentalist LDS and Muslim sects, could issue legally binding documents for plural marriages, and it appears that other states might be required to recognize these certificates. (Loving v Virginia)
Oklahoma may have just put the state behind Sharia marriage, and become a destination polygamous compounds.
So, is this a schadenfreude moment, or an outrage moment?
