New York, March 14, 2012 — The National Conference on Jewish Affairs (NCJA) today expressed its dismay that the Anti-Defamation League actively lobbied, along with CAIR, to defeat Florida legislation that would have restricted state courts from considering foreign laws as part of a legal decision.
NCJA learned that the ADL sent a letter to Senator Mike Haridopolos, Florida Senate President, urging the Senate to oppose SB 1360 on the grounds that it is “an obstacle to Jewish divorce and remarriage, and an infringement on religious freedom.” CAIR hails its “Sharia Victory” in Florida and acknowledges ADL’s help: http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_display.cfm/blog_id/41102
When the identical bill, HB1209, passed the Florida House of Representatives, the ADL expressed its “disappointment”: http://regions.adl.org/florida/adlprhb1209-march2012.html
