An uproar has erupted in Tennessee over the most far-reaching proposal in the nation against the Islamic religious law known as Shariah.

The legislation would make practicing some versions of Shariah a felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The bill declares that Shariah is a threat to homeland security because it embraces jihad and "requires" followers to overthrow the U.S. government

Tennessee has a lot of good people living there, just like Okrahoma does.  But there is a WHOLE lot of stupid, too!  Just like here.

Hey!  I like Okra.  Goes good in Gumbo or just sauted, maybe with some onions and black-eyed peas.

Lawmakers confuse mop sink for Muslim foot-washing sink

Some Tennessee lawmakers have reportedly expressed some concerns over recent renovations at the state Capitol.

The Tennessean reports that some legislative staffers began wondering about a new sink that was installed in the floor-level men's restroom outside the House Chamber.

Some questioned if the new sink was installed for Muslims to wash their feet before praying.

Republican Sen. Bill Ketron confirmed that he had spoken to staffers about whether there were religious reasons for the new sink after the issue was raised by Rep. Judd Matheny, according to The Tennessean.

As it turns out, it is merely a new mop sink.

If someone manages to pass the bond to fix up the OK capital, we'd probably better label our mop buckets.
