TAMPA — The question of what law applies in any Florida courtroom usually comes down to two choices: federal or state.

But Hillsborough Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen is being attacked by conservative bloggers after he ruled in a lawsuit March 3 that, to resolve one crucial issue in the case, he will consult a different source.

"This case," the judge wrote, "will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law."

Nielsen said he will decide in a lawsuit against a local mosque, the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, whether the parties in the litigation properly followed the teachings of the Koran in obtaining an arbitration decision from an Islamic scholar.

The suit was filed by several men who say they were improperly ousted as trustees in 2002. The dispute may decide who controls $2.2 million the center received from the state after some of its land was used in a road project.

But attorney Paul Thanasides last week appealed Nielson's decision with the 2nd District Court of Appeal, saying religion has no place in a secular court.

His client: the mosque.

"The mosque believes wholeheartedly in the Koran and its teachings," Thanasides said Monday.

You are aware that this happened in the paradise island of Maldives and has absolutely no relevance to this foolish bill, don't you?

As I have said before, the crazy people have risen to the top of the GOP.

THAT is how arrogant and deluded the organized criminals currently in control of the GOP are.

I used to like the Republican Party and voted for a few, but sometime during the Clinton Administration their little red choo choo went chugging around the bend. All the crazy people have risen to the top.

I will bet you lunch that he gets re-elected with the solid support of the middle class and working poor people outside of the two major cities.

I wonder how elections would change if we removed the political party references from the ballots and the political advertising. The war between the two largest parties is paralyzing our government.

I have an idea for CL. Put a poll taker on an uptown street, and another in front of Wal-Mart.
