Hi,
I am seeking the input of others, preferring responses from experts, scholars, and legal professionals, regarding the legality of Sharia Law in the USA. There's someone I know preaching that it's completely allowed in it's entirety (obviously not 100% legal), and I want to be able to soundly explain to him the limitations of such laws, with 100% legally correct information from all aspects.
I have some opinions of my own, but want a full overview from others more knowledgeable on the constitution that me. Please provide specific law examples, so that I can see any logical & legal insights as to why Sharia Law would, or would not be legal in the USA, whether in full, or partially, if allowed to be practiced at all. If needed, feel free to explain any variances in Sharia Law, in regards to specific states constitutional law.
The most vague aspect to me of this topic, is hearing legal experts talk about how "Sharia Law is constitutional, as long as it does not violate public policy of a jurisdiction". What are the legal definitions of public policy, and how do you decipher the difference in "public policy" from one jurisdiction to another?
Thanks in advance.
