creeping
The media can’t even hide their disdain, much like Obama when he loses. Just check out the title. via TALLAHASSEE: Abortion, ‘anti-Shariah’ bills pass House, but fate uncertain in Senate – Florida – MiamiHerald.com.

House lawmakers also approved a measure that requires that Florida law trump foreign law in family law court. The bill, HB 351, would apply to all foreign laws, though critics say it is targeting Islamic law, called Shariah.

Supporters have yet to cite a case where the change in law is needed. Sponsor Rep. Larry Metz, R-Yalaha, has described the bill as a preventive measure.

The same bill passed the House last year but not the Senate.

They could just check the Florida dropdown above and find examples:

• Florida judge orders Muslims to follow sharia law, against their will
• Florida judge issues opinion, confirms Islamic sharia law in U.S. courts
• Appeals court rules Islamic SHARIA law is OK in FLORIDA civil case
• Bahraini bank buying “Shariah-compliant” real estate in…Boynton Beach, Florida
• Florida’s Amendment 8 would allow taxpayer money to mosques, Islamic schools
• Florida: Muslim family enforced sharia law on their own daughter
• Florida: Muslim terror suspect’s family threatens lawyers, who promptly quit
• Inside CAIR’s Muslim-only, gender-segregated “civil liberties” lecture

Background:

• Why American Law for American Courts is Needed

• Palm Beach Post rejects rebuttal to pro-sharia, Florida foreign law editorial

• Florida: Bill banning sharia law in certain cases passes Senate

If you prevent those who espouse sharia from entering the country, it will have less likelihood of arising in court rooms.
