Idaho Politics Weekly: Impact of Sharia Law

Idaho State Rep. Eric Redman, R-Athol, has introduced House Bill 94 this year. It is a follow-up to a similar measure he introduced last year designed to limit the applicability of foreign law in Idaho.

Redman was quoted in an Associated Press story, “...legislators have a role to play in protecting constitutional rights and American values of liberty and freedom.” He has opined that Sharia law, which is a form of Islamic religious law, is a particular threat.

One of the more vigorous opponents of such legislation is conservative UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh. He clerked for former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and is known as a right-leaning advocate on issues of free speech, the Second Amendment and religious freedom./Steve Taggart, Idaho Politics Weekly More Here
