Due to ignorance and fear, there are proposals to ban Sharia law from being incorporated into or superceding the U.S. Constitution. However, Sharia is simply a code of conduct for Muslims to lead healthy and peaceful lives and poses no threat to non-Muslim societies.

The GOP and the Sharia Myth

June 23, 2011
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, Opinion Corner, Our News

The idea that is being propagated by some conservative political leaders and media outlets is that Sharia is an imminent threat to American society. This is simply not true, and the recent legislative push to ban Sharia from th U.S. is not only a waste of time and taxpayer money, it’s a fear-mongering movement that only creates divisions between Americans based on ideology.
