Legislation prohibits the influence of foreign laws from interfering with court rulings
Fox 43 reports Republican state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe is looking to prohibit the use of foreign laws including Sharia law in Pennsylvania federal and state constitutions.
House Bill 1288 includes due process, right to bear arms, freedom of religion and speech, freedom of press and any right of privacy under the Pennsylvania and U.S constitutions.
In his statement as reported by Fox 43, Metcalfe singled out Sharia law calling it an unjust law that treats children, women and non-Muslims as second class citizens and that allows for primitive treatment, fierce punishment, torture, mutilation and even ‘honor killings’ for anyone who refuses to comply with its mandates.

Metcalfe said “If enacted, House Bill 1288 would ensure that sharia law and all other unjust and barbaric foreign legal systems are forever banished from Pennsylvania courtrooms and that the Constitution remains supreme in the fair and equal dispensations of the rule of law.”
Should the bill pass, Pennsylvania will join ten other states including Tennessee and South Dakota that have passed similar legislations.
