What is happening to this state under Republican control????
___________________________________________________________________
A North Carolina legislative committee on Wednesday advanced a bill that would ban the consideration of “foreign laws,” including Sharia, in the state’s court system in certain cases.
The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee voted out legislation that could make North Carolina the eighth state to ban use of foreign laws, WRAL.com reports. The bill advanced only after the committee tweaked the language to apply only to family law and child custody issues and not to disputes involving the business community.
State Rep. Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) told WRAL.com that he does not know of any instances of foreign law being used in his state’s courts but that a statute is needed to prevent it from happening.
North Carolina’s move comes a week after the Republican-controlled Missouri state Legislature advanced a similar bill.
The text of the North Carolina legislation does not specifically mention the Islamic legal code known as Sharia, although it would be covered, to avoid a potential court challenge for singling out one religion. An Oklahoma ban that specified Sharia was blocked as likely to be found unconstitutional by a federal court last year.

As far as I know, freedom of religion only applies to how a person practices their religion and its rules in their personal lives, not the law, unless someone uses religion to justify a crime committed.
So what exactly are these states afraid of?
