TULSA, Oklahoma -- Besides electing Oklahoma's next governor in next Tuesday's elections, voters will also weigh in on 11 state questions. One of the most controversial is a constitutional amendment that would ban the use of Islamic Law in Oklahoma courts... "What he's probably trying to do is create a sense of fear, a sense of Islama-phobia in the community, which is really not ethical," said JK Alam, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Alam, a board member with the Council on American-Islamic relations, says State Question 755 makes no sense. He says there are already statutes in place that prevent the use of international law in Oklahoma courts. He believes the prospect of Sharia Law ever being recognized here is laughable. "We kind of giggled about it. Bottom line is we were kind of baffled about it," he said. "Why is it even coming up as a ballot question?"... Oklahoma will be the only state with a Sharia Law-related question on its ballot on next Tuesday, November 2, 2010.
