I am sure you are referring to the attempts to set up "Shariah" tribunals in '04 to deal with divorce and inheritance issues, much like the Jewish and Christian faith-based tribunals that
already exist deal with the same issues.
It had nothing at all to do with anything associated with murder trials or anything of their ilk, although xenophobic islamophobes loved to make it sound that way.
So, yes, it would have still been 1st-degree murder, because it never would have been tried in any sort of religious court.
