Bill making Sharia illegal defense in SC courts defeated

May 12, 2016 11:44 pm By Robert Spencer

“I couldn’t, in good conscience, support what it represents,” Sabb said. “A law like this sends us backwards.”

Yes. What could be more forward-thinking than stonings for adultery, amputations for theft, murder of apostates, and the institutionalized subjugation of women and non-Muslims? It’s the wave of the future!

“Ban on Sharia law defense in S.C. courts dies at the Statehouse,” by Maya T. Prabhu, Post and Courier, May 11 2016:

COLUMBIA — A bill that would have made the Muslim world’s Sharia law an illegal defense in South Carolina courts was narrowly defeated in the state Senate on Wednesday, killing it for the year.

The measure, sponsored by Charleston Republican Rep. Chip Limehouse, would have prevented an attorney from arguing that the laws of a client’s home country allow for certain actions in South Carolina.

“I’m not surprised,” Limehouse said of the bill’s failure to advance. “The Senate can be the graveyard of many good ideas.”

Limehouse said the measure was needed to curb the advancement of terrorist organizations in the country.

“Ask the people in France,” he added. “Ask the people in Belgium what they think about laws that would limit the use of Sharia law (as a defense in court). To me a ban on Sharia law is kind of like a ban on poisonous gas. It just makes sense.”

Sharia law is the legal framework where the public and some private aspects of life are regulated under legal systems based on Islam. The bill passed the House 68-42 in January.

But the bill failed to get past the Senate Judiciary Committee, dying on a 9-10 vote Wednesday.

“There’s no need to talk about it, let’s just do it,” said Committee Chairman Larry Martin, R-Pickens, as the vote was taken. Martin voted in favor of the legislation.

Sen. Ronnie Sabb, D-Williamsburg, said he was glad to be one of the committee members who helped defeat the bill which opponents said unfairly targeted Muslims.

“I couldn’t, in good conscience, support what it represents,” Sabb said. “A law like this sends us backwards.”…

    These politicians are a disgrace. They don’t even have the balls to protect and defend the people who elected them, or to declare that no foreign laws shall take precedence over the Constitution. South Carolina voters need to pay close attention to which senators voted against this bill, and vote these cowards out of office in the next election.

        Christianity, Islam, it can’t be both nor can it be connected. GOD is the CREATOR, THE SUPPORTER AND THE “HOLDER OF I,T IN HS HANDS, HE WILL NOT SHARE!” AND AS THE ONLY SUPPORTER, HE WILL NOT SHARE, NOR WILL HIS PEOPLE!! One of these religions if “Love one another” the other,:Kill him if he will not obey us”

        Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

        Luke 9:50 And JESUS said unto him, “Forbid him not:for he that is not against us is for us.

        Will Islam share with us or will thy kill us, as Christians, what are they doing around the world today, to Christians?.

        SC choose right for her people, her Christians, THANK YOU!!!.

          It’s not about choosing “right” for South Carolina’s Christians.

          It’s about the state’s Constitution, and the laws which flow from it, being THE law for ALL of it’s citizens.

        should the leaders read the sources, a few might understand that the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) exerts it’s will through it’s slaves (Muslims; enslaved by SHARIA) , and; the will of the allah god – malevolent and belligerent – is counter to protecting citizenry and promoting the common good..

      In other words, the US, Western authorities have no problem implementing islamic savagery rules known as (sharia laws) while they keep banning Christian prayers and Christian symbols from the public square.

        “Can it get more pro islam and Anti-Christian than this?”

        I don’t see Christians being dragged from their homes and shot in the streets. I don’t see USSR-styled laws targeting Christians. If this beill being rejected is as “pro-islam and anti-Christian” things can get, then we have nothing to worry about. No, if you want to see pro-islam in no-islamic countries I suggest you take a look at Chechnya.

        Actually, this what the godless Liberal Left and the Muslim fanatics in the U.S. are hoping to accomplish which is to marginalize Christians in the U.S. Christians were the very people who established our Country and fought for our Liberty along with men of good well.

        But we shall overcome and turn our Country around. This is a very sad and trial period in our Country’s history. This is why 2016 election is one of the most important election is the history of our Country.

      Unfortunately, these events are WORSE than if the bill had never been proposed.

      The result will be used as a precedent to allow Sharia arguments in US State courts throughout the Country.

      It will make ordinary, uninformed people think twice about criticizing Sharia Law.

      The biggest losers are women married to Muslim men, especially those with children or property.

      I agree with you one thousand and ten percent. We need to get Congress to push through a bill removing all Muslims from government and remove CAIR and the Brotherhood along with the Muslim president from this country. This Muslim culture is the enemy of the American People and the constitution of the United States. They are a sick culture that wants to bring down every decent thing created by God. Let them do their Sharia Law in Syria. We need to include the following Muslim sympathizers: Muslim House delegation, including Reps. Don Beyer (VA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), Keith Ellison (MN), Joe Crowley (NY), Jan Schakowsky (IL), Mike Honda (CA), Betty McCollum (MN), André Carson (ID), introduced the Freedom of Religion Act today to prohibit the use of religious litmus tests as a means to ban immigrants, refugees, and international visitors trying to enter the United States. This Freedom of Religion Act is another way to bring in more Muslims and remove the borders of the United States. This will have to be done when we get a real American President who loves this country. The United States has the right to protect itself from any an all threats by any means necessary. It has the right to profile, discriminate and destroy any threat presented to the American People with Gods Help..

      Islam and Sharia is not on trial or at issue in SC. The irrationality inherent in the ideologies of multiculturalism and moral relativism is on trial and being exposed for its utter lack of rational content and its self-destructive character. There is no other way than by accepting such irrational beliefs and anti-American prejudices that the inheritors of the zenith in man’s cultural evolution that they can’t even understand how to defend it against the savagery of a hyper aggressive 6th century culture masquerading as a religion.

      This Muslim culture should not be in this country. Their culture is a government. The Muslim culture has no allegiance to America, they don’t even have to put their hand on the bible. Their Quran says they can lie to the unbelievers and they do not care about the 10 commandments. Every mosque is is very similar to an embassy, The Muslims are only here to bleed America and to bring America closer to the one world government with the Muslim culture taking over the world.

      • maghan says

        May 13, 2016 at 7:55 am

        No, the slave trade in West Africa did not involve Muslims as a group. The slaves were mostly prisoners of war who were bartered off for trade goods such as muskets, cloth, molasses, etc. A number of Muslims were also enslaved and were mostly sent to Brazil.

        On the other hand, the East African slave trade was a Muslim affair mainly. Zanzibar and Pemba were East African islands where slavery was practiced. Mombassa was the Kenyan port from which the slaves were sent out.

        For a first hand look at the West African trade consult “A Slaver’s Log–20 Years a Slaver on the West African Coast” by Theo Conaut, himself a slaver.

      • Custos Custodum says

        May 13, 2016 at 8:06 am

        Note that the Muslim slavers were GOOD Muslims observing the principles of Islam as set forth in the “Holy Qur’an” and lived by the “perfect man” Muhammad. See, e.g. Qur’an 23:1-6, 4:3, 4:24, 33:50 and 70:30.

        By contrast, the European slave traders were regarded and even regarded themselves as bad Christians. This is the key difference that Muslims want us to forget.

        May 13, 2016 at 8:05 am

        Be serious now. That 126 million number is bogus for the the simple reason that the places to which the slaves were transported–were non-agricultural sand-driven nomadic societies.

        For Turkey, most of the slaves came from Eastern Europe and for West Asia, the slaves were relatively few because there was little industry or agriculture in that part of the world.

        For the Americas some 15 million captives survived the voyage while another 15 million or so perished. That was from 1550 t0 1880 approx., i.e. 330 years.

        • Tiredofstupid says

          May 13, 2016 at 2:33 pm

          From what I’ve read in numerous sources the actual figures are more like approximately 11 million africans were transported to the Americas, 10% of whom died on the voyage and the vast majority going to the caribbean, central and south american states, less than 5% of the 10 million survivors came to North America. Of the less than 500,000 slaves brought to America, the first “real” slave in north america ( LIfelong slavery) was owned by a black man who had been “indentured” and didn’t happen until about 1638. The slaves were mostly young men with 20-30% younf women The opposite happened in the muslim world, approximately 120 million africans were taken into slavery with up to 90% dying on the overland desert trek into the middle east and were primarily young women and children (for sex slaves) and the children resulting from the rape of the young african women were often murdered. Slavery is brutal and horrible but was outlawed in the west with the last western nation outlawing it in 1883 (Brazil) Slavery was still legal in Islamic countries until the 1970’s and is still practiced today in muslim countries with about 24-25 million blacks still enslaved today in muslim countries. Most of them are held in mauritania, ethopia, somalia, sudan, eritriea etc.

          During the same time period of european involvement in the slave trade, over 1 million eurpoeans were taken in slave raids by muslims in the balkans, and along the european coasts. Most of the castles along the coast in europe were defenses against muslim slave takings. Over the 1400 year history of islam multiple millions of europeans were taken into islamic slavery.

    Perhaps the media should quiz Mr. Sabb and ask him just what there is about any muslims that he finds so acceptable. All islam practicing muslims should be deported and Mr, Sabb should be sent away with them! As a side note, Mr. Sabb is a “black democrat” AND a lawyer; he is an “incumbent” and SC needs to “send him away”. He’s, obviously a muslim sympathizer – -totally UNNEEDED in the USA!

      I disagree.

      The issue is not his opinion of Muslims.

      He should be asked specific questions–in particular–about a public statement he made “I couldn’t, in good conscience, support what it represents,” Sabb said. “A law like this sends us backwards.”

      What does he believe it represents and by what logic has he concluded that preventing the use of foreign laws as a defense in a South Carolina courtroom would take that state backwards?

    Sharia has sent every country in which it is practiced, backwards. Muslims are swarming into Europe to escape the economic failures of Islam-inspired overpopulation and Sharia-related violence. Islam is a failed parasitic system of economic industry; requiring a host or an unearned subsidy such as oil revenue.

    If Erdogan brings Sharia to Turkey he will destroy its economy. Since Ataturk dumped the Caliphate and made the government secular, Turkey has been the most economically viable and industrious Muslim country that has no real oil subsidy.

Multiculturalism and moral relativism renders these idiots incapable of considering the savagery and primitive beliefs hidden beneath the false banner of religion.

    I think laws that outlaw islam’s caveman sh*t is a good idea. It sends a clear message, we are too civilized to accommodate barbaric religious practices that discriminate and kill. We can’t allow another set of laws in this country with the depth and scope of sharia without denying due process in our own system. Sharia is inherently discriminatory and inhumane in too many ways to be tolerated. I’ve seen sharia in action on You tube, angry imbecile mobs stoning or torturing some poor fool for some “infraction” against islam’s monumental stupidity. It’s a legal system created by tyrants to control the idiots who live by their idiot system. It kills, it tortures, it dehumanizes, and it could never fit in our democratic system. Sharia does not deserve respect or religious protection, it promotes the kind of bigotry and crime that our hate and discrimination laws were designed to prevent. But because some call it a “religion” our fearless leaders crumble to their knees in obeisance.

    Tell me, who would suffer with anti sharia laws, who would be discriminated against? I’ll tell you, the bully-tyrants who want to abuse and control others for religious superstition. If that fake religion were a corporation we wouldn’t stand for it one minute. But throw in a little delusion and demon magic and tadaa! it’s a religion worthy of the greatest respect!

      Maybe I’m being unduly biased here, but you’d think with Sabb being a black man he’d be more sensitive to the slavery that islam and sharia truly is. Given the struggle black people had in attaining fair and equal treatment, one might expect him to be more astute in recognizing islam’s own brand of slavery under sharia. Sharia is the judicial arm of islam’s bigoted tradition of oppression, murder, and torture; such as the brutally unfair treatment and abuse of women; the slashing of free speech under threat of violence; the abuse of children, tortured, mutilated, or raped in bogus marriages; the persecution and murder of religious minorities; insane blasphemy laws that jail or kill; the murder of homosexuals…these are monumental human rights violations. But this is what Saab wants to protect, this is what he sees as a step forward for us.

      There’s really no reason for me to be insulting here, it insults itself. But I have to wonder, how these people are rewarded with leadership roles in politics is a puzzle to me. I consider myself rather dumb, but even I’m smarter than this.

    Meh. These anti sharia laws are mostly pandering and colored smoke. All the offensive aspects of sharia law are already illegal in all 50 states, and at the Federal level, and enacting most of them would be unconstitutional. We aren’t going to start stoning adulteresses or chopping hands any time soon.

    I suppose they may have the benefit of tying up the legislature’s time, and preventing them from doing something to abridge our rights.

    • Jerry says

      May 13, 2016 at 10:47 am

      On the face of it, you’re right. We already have laws that cover the worst aspects of sharia, so why do we need more? Muslims that would never kill for sharia don’t need new laws, and fundamentalists that would kill don’t respect laws anyway. But I think the threat of sharia is not so clear cut.

      Every poll shows most muslims are fine with sharia to some degree. Sharia is not just about murder for adultery or apostasy, it imposes on basic human rights on all levels, free speech, religious freedom, politics, education, and how we treat others like minorities, homosexuals, or infidels. So there’s this gray area that must be considered too, it isn’t just the two extremes of peace or murder. People are already getting hurt for sharia, discriminated against to please islamic law. Some times it’s minor stuff like having your seeing eye dog kicked out of a store or getting booted from a cab because you have a brown bag with some Scotch. Other times it’s more serious, like sexual mutilation of girls or abuse of womens’ rights, and sexual mutilation is a legal requirement in islam even though some deny it. Sharia is a bigoted mindset that says that this religion, islam, has the right to abuse, impose, or control the beliefs and freedoms others. I’m all for free speech, it goes a long way, even protects hate speech to a large degree. But when those ideas begin to infringe on the rights and safety of others that’s when they break the law. And to me that’s what sharia does and promises to do in the future.

      There’s too much attention paid to the rights of religious delusion and not enough protection for others against religion’s bigotry and aggression, namely islam. Time and again companies and individuals are sued, hurt, or murdered because muslims can’t get special consideration for their pagan beliefs. Sharia compliance is what muslims are vying for and we suffer as a result. It is my opinion that anti sharia laws would go far in preventing these illegal and hurtful acts of bigotry, and it sends a clear message to these religious idiots, you won’t step on the rights of others for your hateful religious fantasies. We may not be able to stop murder with new laws, but we can lessen the atmosphere of hateful discrimination that makes such crimes more likely. And I think that’s far more enlightened than trying to make peace with a religious system of laws that extends all the way to murder of non-believers and brazen cartoonists…don’t you?

      • Jerry says

        May 13, 2016 at 11:10 am

        And I should correct myself, it’s not really “minor” if you are blind and you are kicked out of anywhere for your service dog. That kind of hate and insensitivity is so islam, and I don’t think it’s minor at all. Too many muslims put their demonic creed above the rights and feelings of others, including murder. Laws against the practice of islamic bigotry most likely wouldn’t infringe on our other rights and privileges. But they would go far in removing the sacred cow protection that islam’s bigotry is afforded as a religious right. We can’t stop muslims from being hateful or bigoted, nor should we try and deny them that right. But we can confront the actualization of their hatefulness when it becomes a real-world threat to our peace and freedoms. New laws would serve this purpose.

          May 13, 2016 at 6:41 pm

          That’s right, sharia is how they impose their religious beliefs on others. It’s presented as a legal requirement in their faith and they believe it should have power over us. I have a serious problem with these idiots thinking their ignorant pagan sh*t should have any influence over me or my country. If islam were a good religion it would still be problematic. But a political religion like islam that condones murder and discrimination will never be good for us. It’s illegal, immoral, and a human rights violator, and laws against it could only help us. If I get good information that such laws might infringe on the civil rights and freedoms of others I might feel differently. But given the extent to which islam has already impacted our security and liberties it’s hard to imagine any collateral damage with such laws being any worse. Not only that, anti-sharia laws would bring us one step closer to criminalizing islam in our country. I know I’m dreaming with this, but I do believe enough terror attacks against us could be a strong motivator for changing how we deal with politically motivated religions that incite violence, bigotry, and hatred. In-other-words, islam. We can’t get rid of it completely, but maybe we can neuter the filthy beast into harmless obscurity.

    Didn’t anyone point out, in the US Constitution, Article VI paragraph two? Doesn’t matter what happens, the use of Sharia is unconstitutional.

    • PRCS says

      May 13, 2016 at 11:23 am

      “the use of Sharia is unconstitutional”

      Every single aspect of the Shari’ah?

      Or is that limited to those of its tenets which actually violate federal/state laws?

      Entering a rest room with the left foot and exiting with the right is a component of the Shari’ah, as is wiping one’s butt with the left hand,

      • UNCLE VLADDI says

        May 13, 2016 at 5:43 pm

        YES every single aspect of sharia is un-Constitutional because they are ALL based on presenting one man’s superstitious religious opinions as facts. That’s known as “fraud.”

      But the fact remains that 10 fools voted against the Bill should concern all of us. They violated the Constitution they sworn to uphold.

    Senator Ronnie Sabb- another useful idiot advancing a policy of treason and calling it a defense for Muslims.

    “Sharia law is the legal framework where the public and some private aspects of life are regulated under legal systems based on Islam.”

    Really? How can a religion’s framework of subjugation and murder and unequal rights be regulated? A legal system based on Islam? The texts of the Koran have often been modified to suit the need of the individual Imam’s to harass infidels throughout the existence of Islam. It continues here. Yes a “poison gas” indeed which should be banned.

      The texts of the Koran haven’t been “modified to harass infidels throughout the existence of Islam” – harassing infidels was the original design objective of both the Koran and islam from the beginning.

    Now as a Christian if I were in court for any reason would I be allowed to use the Holy Bible as my defense? Or would I be told that due to the separation of church and state I could not? So how then can a religion, which uses its laws to punish be legal here in our courts? If Sharia is legal in our courts then so is my Holy Bible.

  30. Stuart says

    Send Ronnie Sabb an e-mail to let him know how you feel.
    http://www.scstatehouse.gov/email.php?T=M&C=1617045261

    According to his profile, http://www.scstatehouse.gov/member.php?code=1617045261 ,
    Ronnie is a Baptist deacon, which personally, if I was a member there, in good conscience, couldn’t have confidence he would uphold his duties as a Christian deacon, to uphold the pure doctrines of Jesus Christ. Next time he is up for re-appointment to Christ’s important office at Good Hope Baptist Church, the church needs to closely examine whether Ronnie is qualified for this sacred position?

    Likewise, for good conscience sake, the people of South Carolina should get informed, and give Ronnie Sabb, and the other nine Senators the boot come re-election time, knowing that Ronnie and the others commit traitorous actions against the Constitution, people of South Carolina and USA at large.

    Islam and its laws are the No. 1 enemy to Christianity and America. Therefore, you adopt nothing of enemy’s law.

    “Sen. Ronnie Sabb, D-Williamsburg, said he was glad to be one of the committee members who helped defeat the bill which opponents said unfairly targeted Muslims.”

    This law doesn’t unfairly target Muslims. It targets those that think, Muslim or otherwise, that they have another set of laws to live by. This is another of many reason for the Political Action Network, http://restoretheuusa.net.

    If we do not engage the politicos, we will engage their agents.

    Checking with the office of a SC Judiciary Committee member it seems the vote was 9 – 10 against bringing the bill to the floor, with all but one of the against being DEMOCRATS – the republican against was Gregory, Chauncey K.

    It’s really a myth that democrats are for women’s rights when they would allow references to Sharia Law as a defense in court. This could only encourage, for instance, rebellious wife beating as Sharia Law allows.

  38. UNCLE VLADDI says

    May 13, 2016 at 5:32 pm

    Re: “Sharia law is the legal framework where the public and some private aspects of life are regulated under legal systems based on Islam.”

    Only “SOME” aspects of private life?! No, sharia regulates ALL aspects of life, even how one can take a dump, and which way one must (and must not) be facing while doing so!

  39. UNCLE VLADDI says

    May 13, 2016 at 5:36 pm

    So this Democrat’s stance almost enshrines the excuse that “I did not know, nor care, about what American law says, because I am beholden to a superior law, that of Allah’s sharia!” into … American Law.

    HERE’S THE LOGICAL RESULT:

    DEFENSE LAWYER: “Your honor, my client proudly admits that, Yes, he did engage in blatant and open extortion, slavery, robbery, arson, bestiality, pedophilia, rape, and murder, but he claims you have no jurisdiction over him!”

    JUDGE: “How so?”

    DEFENSE LAWYER: “My client asserts that, as a muslim, it was his holy right and duty to perform each and every one of these Constitutionally-protected religious duties, because Allah told him to commit them!”

    JUDGE: “Of course you are entirely correct, sir! Allah be praised! CASE DISMISSED!”

    Ladies and Gentlemen .. that was Sen. Ronnie Sabb, traitor to America and our constitutional rights … and basically to all of humanity.

    Until POS leftist trash like Sen. Ronnie Sabb are removed from power …. all of America and Americans are in grave danger …

    European POS leftist trash such as Sen. Ronnie Sabb MUST ALSO be removed from power …

    Or the mass murder, enslavement and rape of women, the execution of gays by Islam upon infidels will just continue without end … likely escalating into WMD mass murder in the millions …

    Count on it because Iran, ISIS and other demonic Islamic militants are making daily preparations to kill on an unprecedented scale.

    Islam is different from Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and most other faiths in that it is a political religion. Muslims recognize no separation between religion and state, and in its canonical texts and preachings, Islam regards all other religions (and non-religions) as “infidel” creeds. Moreover, Islam aspires to establish a global Islamic state or “caliphate” that would impose Islamic law on individuals everywhere, and criminalize heretical thoughts.

    • Dean says

      May 15, 2016 at 8:15 pm

      Islam is only a collection of Arab tribal customs and hostilities that were given the respectability of religion in the 6th century by stealing monotheism from Jews and Christians. It is a closed set of prejudices trying to mimic their idol, Mo, and the religion part is only a supernatural fear as a final control over its adherents. It is a death cult acting like a modern religion when it is necessary. The very few real moderates try to balance what they have learned from civilization with their internal feelings that are a conflict between what they were taught and the monotheism of the prevailing western culture. The other religions went through bloody wars and reform to accept enlightened ideas about freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

    Sen. Ronnie Sabb, D-Williamsburg, said he was glad to be one of the committee members who helped defeat the bill which opponents said unfairly targeted Muslims.
    “I couldn’t, in good conscience, support what it represents,” Sabb said. “A law like this sends us backwards.”…

    Sir, you suppose to uphold the U.S. Constitution ONLY. Our Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land; we should never add anything to it from anywhere. The Constitution kept us liberated for more than 240 years. There are so many immigrants from all over the world. Have you seen anyone forcing you to advance their Country or sect’s laws, except Islam? Did you learn anything since 911? What does it take you to get it? By voting against the Bill in reality is the same as to say “Slavery” in the U.S. is Okay.

    How much lobbying the Muslim fanatics in the U.S. had on your decision Sir. I know for a fact that Muslims in the U.S. are working around the clock to move anything Islamic into our Country (i.e. courts, public policy, laws, etc.) Muslim fanatics in the U.S. are working to spread Islam in our Public Schools already. Americans should wake up before we find ourselves fighting these Muslin fanatics who are master in deception that don’t deserve to live in our Country.

    Do you want to see the shedding of innocent blood in the streets of America? Do you want us to lose our liberty and fight for our own survival. You are a fool and don’t deserve to represent the People of Williamsburg. You have no clue what is fair do you?
