📅 15 Augustus 2013 📍 Verenigde Staten

A federal court invalidated Oklahoma’s amendment excluding Sharia and international law from state-court consideration. The ACLU and CAIR had supported Muslim plaintiffs’ challenge to a measure that singled out their faith. Unlike the earlier preliminary injunction, this was the final district-court ruling striking down the amendment. The outcome protected equal religious citizenship; it did not require courts to replace US law with religious law.
