Muneer Awad v. Paul Ziriax, Oklahoma State Board of Elections, et al.
Last year, state legislators in Oklahoma placed an unprecedented, discriminatory proposal to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to target the religious practices of Muslims on the November ballot. That measure strictly prohibits state courts from using or even considering 鈥淪haria鈥� or 鈥渋nternational鈥� law in their decision making. Although sponsors freely admit that there have been absolutely no instances of so-called 鈥淪haria鈥� threats in Oklahoma, they officially labeled the proposal the 鈥淪ave Our State Amendment,鈥� and it ultimately passed with over 70 percent of the vote.
