Before the midterms next November, one of the most important actions that congressional Republicans should take is a vote on the No Sharia Act, a critical bill that reaffirms the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and ensures that Sharia law never finds a home in the United States.
The No Sharia Act, introduced by Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) last month, very simply “prohibits the enforcement of Sharia or any foreign law that infringes on constitutional rights.” It also states that “In matters involving marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, or inheritance, no court shall apply or enforce foreign law if inconsistent with fundamental rights or public policy.” Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has introduced a companion bill in the Senate.
Democrats and the liberal media have predictably labeled the bill and its sponsors “Islamophobic.” But there’s nothing bigoted about wanting to outlaw a dangerous and fundamentally anti-American ideology that undermines the U.S. Constitution.
Sharia law is a strict legal code based on fundamentalist interpretations of Islamic texts rather than democratic or secular principles. In places like Iran, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, these interpretations have been used to justify marrying off girls as young as six years old to middle-aged men, as well as punishments like public floggings, amputations, and executions for offenses including apostasy, adultery, or blasphemy.
In societies ruled by Sharia law, women face harsh restrictions on dress, movement, employment, and access to education. Political dissent and religious freedom are sharply limited, and legal protections for minorities, including Christians, are virtually nonexistent. (Even in the United States, radical imams are on record advocating for the execution of homosexuals under the pretext of Sharia law.)
Muslim apologists say that Sharia law is a personal moral guide, and that it is really about values like charity and forgiveness. But the undeniable record is that wherever it has been applied, Sharia law has resulted in grave human-rights violations and suppression of basic freedoms.
Many Muslims in the U.S. and throughout the world reject Sharia law. Most American Muslims respect the Constitution, which protects their right to worship freely.
But radical Islam – and by extension Sharia law – is undoubtedly making inroads in the United States. Less than one month from now, America’s largest and most important city will very likely have a Muslim mayor in Zohran Mamdani who has refused to say that Hamas should disarm, accused American taxpayers of “funding genocide” in Gaza, and has praised Holy Land 5, a group which provided material support to terrorists.
Meanwhile, organizations like the RAIR Foundation and Memri TV, which document incidents of Islamic extremism throughout the world, have catalogued dozens of cases where Islamic leaders are pushing radical Islamist beliefs and even jihadism in the United States.
In one case, an imam in Texas told his audience that they are “required to apply the Sharia in our personal lives,” that “no one can or should force us to abandon the Sharia,” and that Islam should not be separate from the law. In another case, a Chicago imam told his followers that “the issue of women’s freedom, equality, and rights is foreign to Islam” and that women “have no right to work.” In a third instance, an imam in Michigan praised his “beloved” Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei.
As AMAC Newsline has previously reported, Islamist groups are also attempting to build a 400-acre “compound” in Texas called EPIC City that “brings Islam to the forefront” – just one of many similar planned projects throughout the country. Douglas Deaton, a retired police lieutenant from Collin County, where the EPIC City site is located, has alleged that EPIC has already created a “Sharia-controlled enclave” that has “operated as a religiously exclusive neighborhood.” That enclave reportedly includes the “UIF Corporation,” a Michigan-based company whose own website states that it exists to “engage in financial transactions that are Sharia compliant.”
As the late Charlie Kirk noted, “it is not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization. It’s cultural suicide to stay silent.”
Now, the No Sharia Act has given Republicans a chance to speak out. When the government shutdown is over, the GOP should take up the bill and vote on it.
Doing so creates a rare opportunity for a win-win for Republicans. If the bill passes, it will strike a major blow to the efforts of those radical Islamists seeking to implement elements of Sharia law in the United States, and the American people will have a strong safeguard against a radical ideology taking root in their communities.
The more likely scenario is that the bill would pass the House and stall in the Senate due to the filibuster rule. Even then, however, Republicans would have an important opportunity to get every congressional Democrat on the record as supporting Sharia law – a vote that not only contradicts their supposed commitment to human rights, but could also play well in attack ads next year.
The No Sharia Act is more than a policy statement – it’s a line in the sand. Either you support the Constitution, or you support an ideology that stones women and kills dissidents. It’s time for every member of Congress to show the American people exactly where they stand.

I think muslims who value the Constitution over sharia law would be considered bad muslims.
Make no mistake about it: sharia law is NOT compatible with the United States constitution at all!
We've got to pass laws against our homegrown traitors before any laws against conquering invaders will work.
Hard to take advice from someone who uses the term “radical Islam.” Any Muslim who is not actively trying to turn our country into Dar-al-Islam, meaning a sharia dominated land where non Muslims are killed or subjugated, is heretical to his religion. It’s right in the book.
The people this author consider “non-radical” are either heretical or, more likely, practicing one of the many forms of Islam approved deceit for Muslims in an infidel land.
“Sharia, derived from the Arabic word “Shari’ah” (meaning “path” or “way”), refers to the moral and legal system prescribed in Islam. It covers a wide range of topics including worship, marriage, finance, and criminal law. Sharia law provides a framework for Muslims to live in a way that aligns with Allah’s commands, ensuring justice, fairness, and compassion in society.”
“The primary sources of Sharia law are:
The Qur’an: The most important and primary source of Sharia law. It provides divine guidance on all aspects of life, including legal, moral, and spiritual matters. Verses in the Qur’an serve as the foundation for most Islamic legal principles. For example, the Qur’an explicitly mentions rules about prayer, fasting, inheritance, and justice.
Hadith: The sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Hadiths complement and explain the teachings in the Qur’an and provide guidance on how to implement Sharia principles in daily life. The Hadiths form an essential part of Islamic jurisprudence.
Ijma (Consensus): The agreement of Islamic scholars on a particular issue or interpretation of law. Ijma represents the consensus of the community’s scholars on certain issues that are not explicitly detailed in the Qur’an or Hadith.
Qiyas (Analogy): Qiyas is a method of applying a rule or ruling from the Qur’an or Hadith to a new situation by analogy. It allows scholars to derive legal rulings in new circumstances where no explicit guidance exists in the texts.”
“Justice: Sharia emphasizes justice in all dealings, ensuring fairness in personal, social, and legal matters. The Qur’an states: “2:178 – “O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution in the case of murder...”
Compassion: Compassion and mercy are fundamental aspects of Sharia. The Qur’an teaches that Allah is “The Most Merciful” and “The Most Compassionate.” Muslims are encouraged to act with kindness, empathy, and charity toward others.
Equality: Sharia law provides for equality among all people before Allah. In the Qur’an, it is emphasized that no person is superior to another except in righteousness: 49:13”
“Sharia law, when followed correctly, is meant to promote justice, equity, and mercy in society. Its application requires an understanding of the context, the guidance of qualified scholars, and a commitment to fairness and compassion in all matters.”

While I agree that the ends of this legislation are necessary, I doubt seriously that it is Constitutional. Before this, it should be found that Islam is not covered by the free exercise clause because it is as much a political system that operates in opposition to the Constitution as it is a religion.

“Bad muslims” are the best kind. They actually assimilate, have one spouse only, drink alcohol, workhard, speak English, love America and don’t do “sudden jihad.” They are way more fun than the strict muslim adherents.
“Democrats and the liberal media have predictably labeled the bill and its sponsors ‘Islamophobic’ “.
That is likely an accurate assessment. Unless we want to submit to Islamic rule, we’d damn well better be Islamophobic.
Post lists of all politicos who have NOT condemned Oct7. THOSE are your enemies.
Claim you did that? Show me the video.
Either condemn or you are a supporter.
A dislike of islam is not an irrational fear so “phobia” is inaccurate. Islam loathing would be more accurate.
A true muslim will never choose the Constitution over Shariah Law. He cannot assimilate.
