Aasif asks if they can name ''any'' aspects of Sharia law, but ''nobody'' is able to do so. So, Aasif lists some aspects before mentioning those are actually from the Bible. When it's pointed that the amendment is technically phrased to prohibit any foreign laws, Aasif notes that [[ExactWords by definition, that would also include the Bible]]. Cue OhCrap reactions.
