I was so much hoping to get a Q&A lined up with Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano on the subject of Sharia Law in Texas. He’s got a bill that would prohibit family court rulings based on foreign legal codes if that violated our own constitutional protections.
These kinds of bills and state constitutional amendments have popped in several states and have been adopted in a bunch. They’re widely accepted as trying to keep the Islamic legal code at bay.
A story in the Houston Chronicle mentioned Leach’s bill in its coverage of the anti-Muslim furor at the Capitol last week. Excerpt, referencing Mustafaa Carroll, the executive director of the Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations commenting on Leach’s bill:
“We feel it’s a red herring and it’s just meant to mar the community,” Carroll said of House Bill 562 by Rep. Jeff Leach, R- Plano.
Leach, however, welcomed the group to the Capitol on Thursday when tweeted, “All Texans are welcome at YOUR Capitol – and all Texans are always welcome in my office. Come one. Come all!”(continued)

OK, I’ve finally figured it out. After reading up on the subject extensively and cataloging real-world experience I now understand why “moderate” Muslims are not criticizing “extremist” Muslims. The truth of it is there are no extreme Muslims nor any moderate Muslims. There are only Muslims and they all believe the same way.
Yes, do you want to be beheaded? Just let sharia law take over. It’s already in some major businesses and I won’t shop there stores.
Looking good. Especially in pink.
If muslims get sharia law in Texas, then I want to resurrect Judge Roy Bean Law and apply it to the entire state, not just west of the Pecos.
They just be the cow gals in black, that’s all.
Actually....it’s the 7th century....not the 14th. I know....it’s not much of a deal....but 700 years is 700 years.
This man is a complete idiot and requires an immediate tour of the famous Saudi chopping block square.
