After considering the arguments being made, the wording of Oklahoma's SQ755, my albeit limited understanding of the basis for our codified system of laws, their enactment, and enforcement, combined with my personal experiences in international and treaty law as a Host Nation Support Plans Officer for the 21st TAACOM, I stand by my original thoughts on the subject and cannot help but wonder just how any case concerning International Law or a Muslim citing Sharia as a defense in an Oklahoma Court would not have to be (by definition) considered by a jurist – even if to but ponder the matter and then reject it as being irrelevant or inapplicable under American case law.
