When the Council on American-Islamic Relations decided to sue the people of Oklahoma for approving an amendment to their constitution prohibiting the use by state courts of international law or Islamic Shariah law, the Muslim Brotherhood front and terrorist-linked darlings of the U.S. media gave themselves away.
CAIR has billed itself as a "civil rights" organization and a kind of anti-defamation league for Muslims.
Yet, by taking this action, CAIR and its sponsors have all but admitted they would very much like to see Shariah law supersede or supplant the laws of the United States – as it has, by the way, in the United Kingdom, where Shariah law is used in dozens of Shariah courts.

There simply is no other reason to contest the will of the people in Oklahoma.
Oh, I know what CAIR contends is its reason for challenging the vote: that there is no threat of imposing Shariah law in the United States.

However, that raises an obvious question: If there is no threat of Shariah being imposed, why bother challenging a law to ensure it doesn't?
In fact, courts in the U.S. have already used Shariah law in their decisions – some of which have been graciously overturned. It's also worth mentioning that several members of the current U.S. Supreme Court have commented favorably on the notion of citing international or foreign law in their decisions – and some of them already have.

Oklahoma's approval of this measure is thus very timely indeed and addresses not some abstract or future threat, but an imminent one.
What really has CAIR scared by the passage of state question 755 in Oklahoma is that it prohibits the group's ultimate goal in America.
In fact, so shaky was CAIR's first effort at challenging Oklahoma's overwhelming approval of 755, its legal brain trust had to work very quickly to come up with a real argument of substance in its lawsuit.
Do you want to know what it is?

First, Muneer Awad, director of CAIR's Oklahoma chapter, filed suit against the Oklahoma Board of Elections in federal court last week alleging the law violates the First Amendment.
The First Amendment, of course, prohibits Congress – not the people of Oklahoma – from establishing an official religion. The people of Oklahoma have, in effect, officially endorsed the establishment clause by ensuring that a specific religion is not permitted to impose its laws on the people of the state.
I think CAIR recognized it doesn't have much of a First Amendment case to make with regard to the amendment of Oklahoma's state constitution. So, it came up with what might be regarded as a "technicality."

Awad claims additionally that the amendment harms his family's ability to carry out his will after he dies. Awad said in the suit that in his will he directs that his possessions be divided "in accordance with the guidance contained in the prophetic teachings" of Islam. He fears that his will would not be carried out according to his wishes in light of the approval of the amendment.
Can I make a simple suggestion to Awad if this is his real fear? Change your will! It's a lot cheaper than making a federal case out of a constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by the sovereign citizens of the sovereign state of Oklahoma.
But we all know Awad's concerns have nothing to do with the execution of his will.
It has much more to do with his will to impose Shariah law on people throughout the world – Muslim and non-Muslim alike. That is his goal and that of his Muslim Brotherhood masters. That has always been the goal – and they think long-term and strategically.

Those who still look at CAIR's façade as a civil-rights group for U.S. Muslims and an organization fighting religious stereotypes should get a wake-up call from this lawsuit.
Ask yourself this question: Do you really think this CAIR lawsuit is about the execution of Muslim wills? Or can you now see that this foreign-funded and foreign-directed terrorist-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group has betrayed its real mission – the advocacy of Saudi-style Shariah law on the people of the United States?
