Banning Sharia Law in the U.S.

The MAGA base is on fire about Trump’s quest to ban Sharia law.  It would take any of them about 15 seconds, if they wished to look into this, to learn that Sharia law has no official legal status or authority in the United States, because the U.S. Constitution and secular laws always come first.

• No Authority: American courts do not follow or enforce Sharia law.

• Religious Freedom: Muslims in the U.S. follow Sharia as a personal and moral guide for daily worship and life, just as people of other faiths follow their own religious rules.

• Constitutional Limits: Religious practices cannot break federal or state laws.

For a moment, think about an American judge’s sentencing a thief to have his hand amputated, or having an adulteress stoned to death.
