Dana Perino: ‘Sharia Law Allows For Stoning And Spousal Abuse’ (VIDEO)

Dana Perino: ‘Sharia Law Allows For Stoning And Spousal Abuse’ (VIDEO)

While guest hosting Fox and Friends this morning, former White House press secretary Dana Perino did a short news break on the Oklahoma Sharia ban, helpfully describing Islamic law for viewers:

“Sharia law allows for stoning and spousal abuse,” she said.

Watch:

Perino was describing an Oklahoma constitutional amendment, passed by ballot question last Tuesday with 70 percent of the vote, which would prohibit state courts from considering Sharia or international law.

A federal judge yesterday issued a restraining order stopping the state board of elections from certifying the results of the ballot question. Another hearing will be held Nov. 22.
