The answer is shari‘a.

Measure 755 “forbids courts from considering or using Sharia Law” when issuing rulings, which has been a notorious problem in a state where Muslims make up—at most—.04% of the population. The authors of the measure argued that it was direly needed in order to confront the impending “onslaught” on Oklahoman values by, presumably, invading hordes of Islam-o-bots riding camels down the Oklahoma freeway, lopping off the heads of unbelievers.

You think?

Of particular concern to supporters was the, admittedly appalling, ruling by a New Jersey judge that a Moroccan immigrant had not committed marital rape because he believed that, within his religion, marriage implied consent. While outrage is justified, the assumption that the judge was therefore “applying shari‘a” is a rather wishful, and probably willful, misreading by the Islamophobes.

The judge did not exculpate the husband because shari‘a “allows for” marital rape; instead, he simply ruled that the husband “did not act with criminal intent” because the man believed his actions were within his religious rights. So the judge was acting solely within the confines of American law—though his decision was egregious and later overturned by the New Jersey appellate court. Ironically, enough, the judge was guilty of excepting a man from the application of state laws because his religious views conflicted with that law—a kind of decision many conservative Christians may themselves appreciate.

Nonetheless, the media campaign in support of the measure, which was funded most prominently by the anti-Muslim organization Act! For America, seized upon this decision as proof that evil, evil “Shari’a law” was almost certainly coming to Oklahoma unless it was stopped:

Act! For America was founded in order to “provide American citizens a means to be a collective voice for the democratic values of Western Civilization, such as the celebration of life and liberty, as opposed to the authoritarian values of radical Islam, such as the celebration of death, terror, and tyranny.” But, interestingly, it’s not just death, terror, and tyranny that concerns them. No, no. Among the various other grievances cited by Act! For America in their dis-informational PowerPoint on Islam is that, ostensibly because of Muslim dietary restrictions, “Bacon and eggs are becoming harder and harder to get at British university cafeterias.” Those. Bastards.

As noted lovers of bacon and eggs, and apparently feeling asphyxiated by the icy death grip of the 15,000 or so Muslims in their state, Oklahomans passed Measure 755 by an enormous margin of 70-30%.

By no means do I purport to be an expert on Islamic law, but Measure 755 reveals the unsurprising fact that Islamophobes know virtually nothing about shari‘a beyond the Disney movie Aladdin:
