Senator Tommy Tuberville Introduces Senate Companion Bill to Congressman Fine’s No Sharia Act

Washington, DC: Congressman Randy Fine (FL-06) announced that Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has introduced the Senate companion to Congressman Fine’s No Sharia Act, legislation prohibiting the application of Sharia law anywhere in the United States. Congressman Keith Self (TX-03), is co-leading the bill on the House side with Congressman Fine. Originally introduced in the House, the bill continues to gain momentum as conservatives rally behind the need to protect America’s legal system and uphold the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. Many Americans fear unconstitutional infringement by mainstream Muslims who wish to impose sharia in America. "Sharia Law is fundamentally anti-American and has no place in our country,” said Senator Tuberville. “If you want to peacefully practice your religion, you have every right to do so under the Constitution. But if you want to come to the United States and advocate for the practice of Sharia Law over U.S. law, you should not be here. We do not want people who chant ‘death to America’ residing in our communities and endangering our families. We must protect American values, not apologize for them. I applaud my House colleagues for joining me in this effort to preserve our Constitutional and God-given rights." “Sharia—a radical ideology that wages war on our Constitution, threatening our freedoms and way of life—has no place in America,” said Congressman Self. “From Muslim-only enclaves in Texas to No-Go Zones in Michigan, Sharia’s influence is spreading unchecked. Enough is enough—it stops now! We cannot let an ideology that undermines the rule of law and the rights of women and children conquer America, as it has in the UK and France. I’m proud to co-lead the introduction of the No Sharia Act with Congressman Randy Fine, and grateful for Senator Tommy Tuberville’s leadership on the companion version in the Senate. This crucial legislation bars U.S. courts from enforcing Sharia or any foreign system that violates our constitutional rights, protecting America’s legal and cultural foundation. Sharia is completely incompatible with Western civilization and cannot be allowed to exist in America.” “Sharia law has no place in the United States of America,” said Congressman Fine. “We’ve seen what has happened in the UK and across Europe with the spread of sharia, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is coming here next. Well, we are not going to let that happen. This is America. We don’t stone women for speaking. We don’t hang people in the streets for the world to watch and celebrate. We don’t force little girls into marriage or mutilate their genitals in the name of religion. Our nation is built on freedom, equality, and the rule of law, and our Western values are incompatible with sharia. I am grateful to Senator Tuberville for his leadership and for standing with me. Along with Congressman Self and the fourteen other members of the House who have co-sponsored this critical legislation, we are defending the Constitution and American values.” The No Sharia Act ensures that no U.S. court, public agency, or legal institution can enforce or recognize Sharia law when it conflicts with constitutional rights. Together, Congressman Fine and Senator Tuberville are leading the effort to ensure America remains a free nation governed solely by its own laws and founding principles.
