North Carolina has become the seventh state to prohibit state judges from considering Islamic law in family cases.
Gov. Pat McCrory allowed the law, which was passed by state lawmakers in July, to take effect without his signature.
North Carolina now joins Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee, according to Religion News Service, in banning Islamic Sharia law. A constitutional amendment seeking the same change in Alabama will be on the 2014 ballot. In Missouri, the governor vetoed an anti-Sharia bill.
