Sharia in New Jersey: Muslim husband rapes wife, judge sees no sexual assault because Islam forbids wives to refuse sex
And now a New Jersey judge sees no evidence that a Muslim committed sexual assault of his wife -- not because he didn't do it, but because he was acting on his Islamic beliefs: "This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited."
Luckily, the appellate court overturned this decision, and a Sharia ruling by an American court has not been allowed to stand. This time.
This type of thing is going to become more and more common. Destroying the actual meaning of the Constitution has intellectually perverted our judiciary so that special rights for groups (Islam, homosexuality...) trump individual rights under the law.
Interestingly, the US Constitution says that the Federal government shall guarantee to each State a "republican form of government." This not only excludes monarchy but the Shari'a law of the Muslims.
