As you’d probably heard, on election day Oklahoma voters voted by a 70% margin to ban Sharia Law in their state. But now a federal judge has issued an injunction barring the state board of elections from certifying the amendment, which would otherwise have taken effect tomorrow.

It’s a funny thing. We’ve snarked a lot about this amendment, which seems, shall we say rather needless since I don’t have the sense that Oklahoma will be declared a Muslim theocracy any time in … say, at least the next ten years or so. But the claim brought by Muneer Awad, the head of the Oklahoma branch of CAIR, seems pretty strong: namely, that this amendment creates an “official disapproval of his faith” under the state’s constitution. I’m sure this will bring a fresh round of “oh nos!” from the Islam hysteria crowd. But I’m really not surprised the judge issued this injunction.
