FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL — The House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government of the will hold a hearing on Feb. 10 to uncover how sharia law is “contrary to America’s founding principles” and “may violate federal law and the Constitution,” the Daily Signal has learned.
At the hearing, titled “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution,” witnesses and members will discuss “where, why, and how Islamic extremists are attempting to establish Sharia-based institutions in the U.S.” a statement provided to The Daily Signal claimed.
Additionally, the hearing will discuss current proposed legislative reforms that would protect Americans from efforts to establish alternative, sharia-based institutions.
“Most Americans are completely unaware that Sharia law is insidiously trying to take over our communities and undermine our Constitution and way of life,” subcommittee Chairman Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal. “In my home state of Texas, Dallas has become ground zero for the Islamification of America and there are more mosques being built in Texas than in any other state in the union.”
“If we are not careful, America will fall just like what we’re seeing happen in London or Paris,” Roy added. “This hearing, which I am proud to lead, is an important first step in sounding the alarm to the American people about the threat Sharia law poses to America.”
Roy recently co-founded the Sharia Free America Caucus in Congress.
