Rep. Chip Roy raises ‘strong concerns’ Sharia law will be ‘forced upon the American people’

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said he has concerns about Sharia law being “forced upon the American people” during remarks on the House floor Tuesday.

“Well, I’ve got some pretty strong concerns about Sharia law,” Roy said while discussing his broader worries about border security and foreign aid. “And whether that’ll be forced upon the American people.”

In the remarks, Roy referenced a “massive Muslim takeover of the United Kingdom” and said he had “pretty strong concerns about people who wanna see Israel’s destruction, who were happy about Oct. 7, who were elected in the United Kingdom.”

“Some might say that we’ve seen that here in the United States,” Roy continued, echoing criticism of pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses. “What are we gonna do about that?”

Roy’s remarks mirrored a post on the social platform X he made Sunday, in which he responded to a post critical of Mothin Ali, a man who was elected to the city council in Leeds, England, as part of the Green Party.

In remarks celebrating his election, Ali is seen in front of a Palestinian flag saying “Allahu Akbar” and “this is a win for the people of Gaza”.

“Coming to America,” Roy said in his post responding to the video.

Sharia law means gays will be thrown off rooftops; adulterous women will be stoned; men can beat their wives, etc.

Chip, my antidote to Sharia Law is the US CONSTITUTION, especially amendment 2, the right to own guns.

The Left will support any totalitarian who promises to end Western Civilization for them. Therein lies the problem.

And it is Chip Roy’s job along with every member of Congress to stop such a thing from happening. I don’t think that will ever happen in my state of Florida (we just turned our county red after many years). We have more Republican voters than Dems now.

Isn’t Sharia Law already being implemented in some cities across the nation?
