In those places, severe punishments are common, women have very few rights, and blasphemy against Mohammed can result in a death sentence. But Tribunal Judge Imam Moujahed Bakhach is denying that will happen in America. "The misconception about what they see through the media is that Shariah means cut the head, chop the heads, cut the hands and we are not in that," he said. "We are not here to invade the White House or invade Austin." But Robert Spencer of JihadWatch writes: "There is no school of Islamic jurisprudence among either Sunnis or Shi’tes that does not mandate stoning for adultery, amputation of the hand for theft, and the subjugation of women." Imam Bakhach and three other Muslim judges are planning to bypass the traditional legal system of Texas to handle civil cases on their own. They plan to start by administering their own rulings for cases like divorce and business disputes. But critics caution that allowing Shariah tribunals to operate in the U.S. essentially allows Islamic law to replace U.S. law, and will undermine the established U.S. rights of some of the victims. The Center for Security Policy issued a report in 2011, documenting how Shariah law is already being applied in official state courts across America. "The facts are the facts: some judges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with constitutional protections," the group states. The report discovered 50 such cases involving "Muslim American families, mostly Muslim women and children, who were asking American courts to preserve their rights to equal protection and due process." "These families came to America for freedom from the discriminatory and cruel laws of Shariah. When our courts then apply Shariah law in the lives of these families, and deny them equal protection, they are betraying the principles on which America was founded," the Center for Security Policy states. Spencer agrees, pointing out that is the track record of Shariah around the world. "Sharia polities throughout history and today have denied the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience, and they have mandated discrimination against women and non-Muslims," Spencer says.

The Shariah tribunal in Irving, Texas, is trying to assure Americans they're not planning to follow the type of Shariah law practiced in Muslim countries. The people from Texas will protest if they see what this will cause to people just by the Shariah law---how can you not? Sad times breaking on...

The Bet Din judges Jewish divorces are according to the Mosaic law, conversions to Judaism are according to the Mosaic law, and disputes between Jewish people are settled according to Judaism. Also, there are some judgements concerning the proper butchering of animals to make them Kosher. They can not judge cases which interfere with the U.S. court systems and can not make rulings which violate the U.S. law. In otherwords, no one is allowed to be stoned for adultery which is in the Mosaic law, etc. Since the Sharia courts are based on a strange and wrong interpretation, considering Ishael the chosen son of Abraham rather then Isaac, the Sharia court system is loosely based on the command from God to setup judges and a court system to the Jewish people. The laws do differ from the Mosaic law, but some seem to be similar. For years, many Muslims in the U.S. ate Kosher food but their food laws differ from Kosher laws, so they setup their own system to deem butchered meat as Hallal and now have hallal certification.

That's all, nothing more. It seems you have very little understanding of Sharia Law if this is what you believe. Dig deeper to see just how hateful and ugly their laws are. That is irrelevant to the fact this is a voluntary arbitration service and in no way trumps any US laws, which the article in the OP implies. It is the Muslim version of Judge Judy.

I would be very concerned. The goal of Islam is to take over the World and make everybody succumb to Sharia law. This is how it all starts.
