PARKER, Justice (dissenting).
I respectfully dissent. My dissent is based on the reasoning set forth in Justice Murdock's dissent in Federal Insurance Co. v. Reedstrom, 197 So.3d 971, 979-81 (Ala. 2015) (Murdock, J., dissenting), which I joined. In short, I do not believe that a general reference in an arbitration provision to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association is "clear and unmistakable evidence" that the parties agreed to have an arbitrator, not the circuit court, decide all issues of arbitrability.
