[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1469200, member: 18"] I think, although I don't speak for him, JB is saying that Oklahoma has created laws that target specific racial/ethnic/religious groups i.e. the Sharia law. This makes us seem bigoted. Even if it was specifically Sharia law that we are worried about at the moment, a law that doesn't specifically mention the type of religious law would have made more sense. That way when the concern is Joel's Army Theology or radical Zionism or any other fringe group, we don't have to go creating other laws or try to explain how this law covers these as well. I think that one of the difficulties legislators in this state (although to be fair legislators in general) have is we address one specific problem when we create laws without concern for the fallout or future implications of the law. We get wound up about guns or Mexicans or Muslims or meth or whatever and we poop ourselves creating laws without much thought for the consequences. Just a thought....... Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
