Reps. Fine, Self to Newsmax: ‘No Sharia Act’ Needed to Preserve United States

Legislation is needed to ban attempts to impose Sharia law in the United States, as it is essential to preserve the Constitution as the sole legal framework in the United States, according to Reps. Randy Fine and Keith Self, who have proposed a “No Sharia Act.”

The measure would bar courts from enforcing any judgment, decree, or arbitration that relies on Islamic law or any foreign system that violates constitutional rights, and Fine, R-Fla., and Self, R-Texas, told Newsmax’s “National Report” on Friday that efforts to introduce alternative legal systems must be rejected.

“Whether it’s calls to prayer at 5 a.m. in violation of noise ordinances, whether it’s mayors that are out telling Christians they’re no longer welcome in their city, and whether it’s whether we listen to the imams who are very clear and they don’t do it on hidden camera, they do it in public broadcast that they seek to impose Sharia law on the United States,” Fine commented. “I think it’s very clear that we speak loudly with one voice and say, we’re not going to have that here.”
