Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets.
Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law.
As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.'
The governor also addressed the imam, saying: 'If this person, or ANYONE, attempts to impose Sharia compliance, report it to local law enforcement or the Texas Dept. of Public Safety.'
In a statement, Abbott's office added: 'In Texas, we believe in equal rights under the law for all men, women, & children. Any legal system that flouts human rights is BANNED in the state of Texas.'
Abbott did not specify which bill he was referencing, but he signed a bill in 2017 that prohibits judges from applying any foreign law, including Muslim law, in US courtrooms.
Imam Khan, who leads a Nation of Islam-affiliated mosque in the Houston area, warned Muslim business owners they would face boycotts and public protests if they refused to comply.
In the viral video that sparked widespread outrage, he said a nationwide protest movement was set to begin specifically targeting Muslim businesses that violate Islamic teachings.

As usual, Texas will lead the way for Western Civilization.

Anyone enforcing this law?
God bless Texas!
Islam is incompatible with the Constitution, with America.
exporte laws...
exporte muslims outta here.
Islam is incompatible with civilization.
Sounds like the Immommy is a person with a severe inferiority complex who is trying to feel important.
God bless Texas!
Well said.
Islam is also incompatible with...... Islam.
If there is a future world in the universe where Islam conquers, eliminates all of the Jews, Christians, they will immediately turn on each other. Sunni vs Shia. If one or the other is eliminated, they will still turn on each other, for there is always someone more devout.
Jihad is the Way. Jihad is forever.
1 protected, 49 to go?
“...a person with a severe inferiority complex who is trying to feel important...”
That’s baseline criteria common to all lunatics
Too bad the law didn't add mosques to the list.
I’d expect Florida to soon do the same.
Florida and Texas leading the Nation. Who’d thought?
Sounds like the Immommy is a person with sa severe inferiority complex who is trying to feel important.
That usually means home-grown mohammedan lunatics, usually "african-american" in origin. Seems they're feelin' froggy ...
Charge them with racketeering charges. An organized group threatening businesses if they don’t comply with their rules are against the law.
Yes go on forever and ever! There are four main branches - Shia, Sunni, Wahhabi and Sufi and 150 smaller sects.
I have always thought that we need a constitutional amendment that no court in the U.S. will recognize the authority of sharia law nor enforce any contract that uses unique aspects of sharia law.
Sunni or later Shiite happens.
