Islamophobia Backfires

Oklahoma may have just banned official use of the Ten Commandments along with Sharia Law. From The Raw Story:
Residents in Oklahoma thought they were voting to ban Sharia law last Tuesday but it turns out that the new constitutional amendment may also extend to the Ten Commandments.
The Oklahoma ballot measure orders judges not to consider Islamic or international law when deciding cases. 
But Rick Tepker, a law professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Law believes the "Save Our State" constitutional amendment may have the unwanted side effect of preventing judges from referencing the Ten Commandments. Tepker called the measure "a mess."
As Patton Oswalt puts it:
Ha ha! AHHHH-ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, good Lord, this is just...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! HAAAH-HAAAH-HAAAH-HAAAH!!!
