Laila Syed on 03 Sep 11Several states are considering passing laws like a bill that was recently passed in Tennessee outlawing parts of Islamic Shariah law. Shariah law is an Islamic way of settling disputes while taking religious tenets into account. Supporters of the bill feel that allowing the practice of Shariah law within the United States will denigrate the Judeo-Christian foundation of the U.S., however protesters argue that creating such laws will erode the very foundation of American democracy and freedom of religion.
